From the West Lancashire Evening Gazette, 4 March 1986: a Doctor Who story writing competition judged by Dennis Spooner and Robert Holmes, which makes you wonder if the event was cursed as both of them would be dead within six months of the closing date.

Seasider's DIARY
Write a plot for the Doctor

WHO fancies their chances as a sci-fi story writer?

If you've got time on your hands you may like to enter a competition to
compose a tale featuring Dr Who and any of his old adversaries.

Set your control at 1,000 words and let your imagination turn out a galaxy-gripping storyline.

Prove yourself a master in Dalek-dialogue, Cybermen-chat or Tardis-talk and you'll be Lorded up with prizes including Dr Who videos, books and T-shirts.

Entries will be judged by Dr Who script writers Dennis Spooner and Robert Holmes.

The competition has been organised by the Blackpool Branch of the Dr Who Appreciation Society who plan to submit the top stories for inclusion in a soon-to-be-launched national society magazine.

Dr Who freaks up and down the country currently number 3.500-plus.

Time, lords and ladies, will be called on March 21, with the winners notified
by April 4. Entries to Mr Andrew Hayes, c/o 40 Dean Street, South Shore.

Meanwhile the next dose of Doctor-mania will be dished out at the next branch meeting at Blackpool Central Library on March 8.

I do not believe that A) a 50 mins AI ep of Doctor Who could be generated containing anything approaching a story and B) anyone would sit through it, let along describe it as 'pretty good', so I'd love to know what the real story is here.
