| I wonder if anyone's ever done a story that's a mash-up of A Christmas Carol and War of the Worlds? _________________  |

| How would it work?
Scrooge, a miserly small business owner (a Starbucks franchise probably) in Woking, goes to bed after being an Xmas humbug and is haunted by a series of 'tripods' from different historical periods of tripod development (like the Rover P6: 2000, 3500, Series II) that crash into his bedroom and blast him with energy-headlamp beams of varying intensity, temporal relativity and moral nuance that in turn make him realise that...

| Scrooge was only rich because Jacob Marley told him the chances of anything coming from Mars were a million to one. So, Scrooge went to the bookies and bet £1 on something coming from Mars. He then phoned up the Martians and got them to invade Earth, so he'd win his bet and be an instant millionaire. _________________ |
