Rating: Teen
Summary: An ancient race of time-travelling aliens invades London, and that’s nothing new.  It’s 1964, and Rose and the Doctor are on the case—with a little help from four lads from Liverpool, because Ringo’s now wearing the sacrificial ring!   What if Help! wasn’t just a zany idea for a Beatles movie?  What if the Fab Four made a film out of their own adventure with the Doctor & Rose Tyler?
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who or the Beatles and/or Help! (sadly)
