In "The Last Fairy Tale," the Doctor and Turlough arrive in a village that's expecting the arrival of their legendary storyteller which both Tulough and the village's princess. This leads people who like Fairy Tale bad guys to take hostages and demand to air their grievances to exact their revenge on the Doctor.

The story's a bit farcial, but mostly fun. It's a somewhat typical Paul Magrs satire that saves it's interesting reveals for the end.
