Just thought I'd share an adventure idea I'm planning on including im my camapign.
I guess the idea is a bit of a mix of Amy's Choice and Chimes of Midnight and is planned for a Time Lord/The Doctor and companions.
The TARDIS lands in a large house where they are immediately told they are late. Shown into the Drawing Room the group are introduced to Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, Rudolf Plum and Clegg from Last of the Summer Wine amongst others. The lady doing the introductions is Miss Marple. There are other in the house also as you see fit.
Basically this is run as a murder mystery.
Strange effects;
They cannot leave the house. The window shutteres are down.
No high tech gear works, this includes sonic screwdriver (which will now appear to be a regular screwdriver) or wrist scanners (just a bracelet). If the PCs try to re-enter the TARDIS they find it is just a regular Police Box. Any alien PCs appear to NPCs as human, their human reflection can be seen in a mirror (PCs still view them as normal).
Background
An elderly woman living on Earth in Cardiff near the Rift. The woman is dying but the Rift has manifested her final memories as a pocket reality which the TARDIS accidentally landed in.
The problem for the PCs is that the woman is indeed dying and if she dies before the murder mystery is solved they will be either trapped in limbo or erased from time!
The PCs should be given clues to where they are. I was thinking that a little girl keeps appearing talking to the PCs, this is the old woman appearing in her own mind. But make sure the PCs play out the murder mystery.
Epilogue
I think it would be a nice Doctor Who style touch that when the group solve the mystery that they hear the front door of the house unlock. They exit and find themselves standing in the bedroom of the old woman. She opens her eyes, smiles, says, "Thank you," then quietly passes away.
