    Its the story of a boy who runs away from his oppressive home and meets Dr. Emilio Lizardo, a being from another dimension on the run from the government. They're destination is adventure, but on the way, Huck learns that even evil interdimensional beings can be a little human.

    "The Lord of the Ringworld"
    (Louis Wu and an odd bunch of companions must travel to the Fist of God to save civilization. Actually,
    that's just Ringworld anyway, really...).

    "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (Where Milla Jovovich chases a whire rabbit that's infected with
    T-virus into a virtual reality).

    "It's a Wonderful Lifeforce"
    (An angel shows our hero what would have happened if alien vampires hadn't destroyed London).

    "The Man with the Golden Gundam" (James Bond vs. mecha!)

    "Last Starfighter of the Mohicans"

    "Emma-trix" (Jane Austen's heroine is 'The One')

    I can't think of a title, but have Jeeves become the Doctor's newest companion. It would write itself.

    @Wookie1972: Sounds like a lot of fun. I guess as the last surviving Time Lord the Doctor doesn't have aunts, but he manages somehow to get into trouble without them.

    @Mathmos: Part of me just likes the idea of having a Doctor who, instead of being utterly brilliant and always having a solution, is a bit of a twit who needs his butler to get him out of things.

    Hell, maybe Jeeves is a Time Lord.

    @Wookie1972: Part of me is a pedantic twit who can't help pointing out that Jeeves is a "gentleman's personal gentleman" or valet, not a butler, though his uncle Charlie is a butler. Btw, Charles Stross called his Jeeves a butler too, in Saturn's Children.

    But you're right, he has some Time Lord - like qualities, though he doesn't seem to need a tardis.

    Of Droids and Men

    Anakin-o, the Jedi Master, based on Othello except dumber and a lot more robotic romantic dialogue of "I. LOVE. YOU. PAN-DA-BEAR." "I. LOVE. YOU. ANN-IE." plus Iago Palpatine mumbling "Something something Dark Side."
