'Double the Nonsense: It’s A Family Thing is a collection of humorous stories and rhyming verse that carry a similar hallmark of storytelling, from a father and son, yet written 50 years apart. Enriched and embellished through a prosodic structure that aims to heighten and position the reader within a world of farce, carry-on, and almost super human ingenuity, they tell of situations that feed off a comedic structure born from within a world of the absurd. Carrying unintentional overtones of Spike Milligan and Roald Dahl, a delicious palette of language, rhyming couplets and nonsense awaits.'

Two schoolteachers, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, become concerned by the unusual behavior of their fifteen-year-old student, Susan Foreman. When they follow her home, they meet her mysterious grandfather, the Doctor, and find themselves unwilling passengers on his time ship. The first episode deals with Ian and Barbara's discovery of the Doctor and the TARDIS in a junkyard in contemporary London. The following three episodes are set amid a power struggle between warring Stone Age factions.

In a review titled 'Victorian View of Empire', The Times provided this summary of the plot:

Mrs. Sweeney has an absent son busy prosecuting the course of Irish unity by blowing up bridges in his native land; she has also three lodgers, an Indian, an African student eager for the sake of his political future to reach an English prison, and a young pole [sic] who takes seriously the doctrines of an anarchist orator at Speakers' Corner and attempts to blow up the Home Secretary with a ridiculously inefficient home-made bomb. No harm is done, and English tolerance and humour (displayed by an Irish policeman) make all well.
