What Did You Just Call Me?

�I really ought to see the old chap,� said the Doctor, looking over the Brigadier�s message for the fourth time.  �He has a habit of making a bad situation worse.�

�Isn�t that �calling the kettle black,� Doctor?� Peri replied with a chuckle.  She leaned over his shoulder to read the message.

The Doctor flashed her a look of annoyance.  �This is hardly the time for hackneyed clich�s, Peri.  No, there�s something wrong here.  I can feel it.�  In two long strides he was behind the cluttered desk and picking up the phone.

�What are you doing?�

�Calling the kettle back.�
