Seventh Entry in the Charles Daniels Unauthorized Programme Guide O' Revenge Special Thanks To Finn Clark, for thematic similarities Serial G - The Serves You Right - Episodes: 1. Swingers In Space 4. A Desperado Adventure 2. The Unwilling Wanker 5. A Crawl Against Life 3. Exposed Safety 6. Cat Nap The TARDIS lands on a tiny spaceship from 28th Century Earth. It's Captain, Hollister, explains they are at war with a race of pushy aliens who call themselves the "Serves You Right", apparently a villian race of aliens who feel anyone who messes with them gets what they deserve. The "Serves You Right" are all physically identical and deceptively appear as men in bad alien costumes with shotty make-up. Through some telepathic jive with Susan the "Serves You Right" invite them down for talks, fun, and poisoned water on their planet mysteriously named Drive-Thru. They explain they were long ago contacted by an Earth spaceship from a powerful corporation who wanted to continue their long term cultural conquest on a galactic level. The "Serves You Right" were scared of being exploited by the corporation that claimed to have served 850 Trillion happy customers with quality food for a low price, and at first the "Serves You Right" aliens believed the claims of good wages for a good job as offered by McDonald's. So culturally destroyed were the aliens by their presence that the name of the civilization was lost and replaced with McDonald's new snappy slogan, "Serves You Right". The "Serves You Right" fear Humans because they many of them have died from eating the food that they make for passing spacefarers. The Doctor discovers a deadly variant of MSG in the cheeseburgers and tracks down the vile corporate managers to their posh privately owned planet, ruled by the evil Dictator "Mayor McCheese". The Doctor exposes Mayor McCheese to the intergalactic war crimes tribunal and an 800 year long court case ensues, the longest court case in galactic history. McDonald's is found guilty on the charges of cruelity to animals, cruelity to aliens, cruelity to humans, violations of the Geneva Convention Restrictions on Bio-Chemical Warfare, violation of intergalactic minimum wage, and unauthorised use of a horse. McDonald's is fined 35 Billion Pounds for these and other offenses, however they public announce the ruling as a "moral victory". Book(s)/Other Related - Doctor Who Serves You Right Intergalactic Culture And You, or "How To Avoid McDonald's" The Rantings and Manifesto of Mayor McCheese Fluffs - Hartnell seemed confused for most of this story The Doctor on 2 for 1 deals "So! I see! I pay for 2 and I get 1!" Note: This may be subtle commentary on McDonald's prices "I rather fancy that's order for that paid!" "Chee...Chu..The yellow stuff on top, it's not melty" "Isn't it better to orderly hopefully than to....eat??" Fashion Victims - Rather charmingly The Serves You Right wear little paper hats Goofs - In episode three when the Doctor ponders "or should i get the Big Mac?" a grease fire starts in the backround. The actor playing Hollister is obvious drunk BEFORE he orders the McBeer and you can't possibly get drunk off McBeer anyway. Also in episode three the Serves You Right stand on each other's feet when they prepare food due to cramped working conditions and can only recognise each other by their tacky paper hats [The Manager doesn't know the assistant Manager by sight] this leads to annoying conversation problems as the aliens are always picking up weird conversations with the wrong people. According to the Doctor, the paper hat they find in episode six says "Employee of the Month" but it actually says "Loser In A Dead End Job". Dialogue Disasters - The Leader (Manager) talking about working for McDonald's: LEADER: It is useless to resist. The horrid first meeting of the Doctor and the "Serves You Right" leader: DOCTOR: All we wish is peace and understanding. LEADER: Would you like fries with that? There's a great moment when the Leader (Manager) turns to the camera, having been informed that McDonald's food is utter crap "I have never thought of that!" Dialogue Triumphs - IAN: Hey, does this water taste funny you guys? SUSAN: (In Terror) NO!! I won't fill out a work application here Grandfather! I WON'T! I WON'T!! DOCTOR: And now we see the horrors of fast food chains, spreading, destroying cultures, this should teach us all a grave lesson.. let's go to Pizza Hut. MAYOR McCHEESE: 800 Years of Persecution by the galactic governments and never ONCE did they get ONE horse to testify AGAINST US! Rumors & Facts - When this story first aired a certain fast food chain, that shall remain nameless for legal reasons, was somewhat upset. It was rumored that they had their godless capitalistic terrorist goons beat up the author in a pub called the White Horse on Marston Road in Oxford England on 24th August 1964 at approximately 8:47pm by the pool table with a No. 12 pool cuestick causing serious abdominal bruising, however we can not possibly comment on such vague rumors as we don't have the precise details and don't wish to provoke the unnamed fast food chain into legal action no matter how guilty we know they are.
