Time for the TARDIS
BBC editors are scrambling to rewrite a Dubai-based episode of Dr Who after the time traveller’s double-decker bus was smashed by a crane operator at Dubai port.
The damage, estimated at tens of thousands of dirhams, has delayed filming of the hit show, which is to base one of four special episodes in Dubai.
While the bus may look like it was attacked by the show’s evil Cybermen, it was an unloading accident that left BBC staff rushing to rewrite the plotline to Dr Who’s Dubai visit.
One person familiar with the bus accident said that the BBC will now make it look as if the bus was crushed by Dr Who’s enemies.
The show was due to revolve around a plot in which the time-travelling doctor is zapped to Dubai and faces an “unexpected detour into danger”.
However, the detour will now appear more dangerous than previously anticipated, as his bus’ top deck shows extensive damage.
The left side of the bus has been crushed inwards, windows have been smashed, the frame has been bent and paint has been ripped from the roof.

WOW! how long did it take them to come up with that altered plot line?
It was the first thing I thought of :P
its ok coming up with how it happened, but iam guessing that the they also arrive back in London in a normal bus- going by the post above this one, and as such would be hardder to explain.
