PLEASE NOTE: These caches were originally all letterboxes, with stamps that I personally painstakingly made. Unfortunately, they have proven quite popular, and with that comes muggling. Apparently a number of the stamps have gone missing, and as some have complained about this, and I haven't the time to go and check all 100+ of them on a regular basis, I will be converting them to Traditional caches as needed.
It pains me to make this decision, but it must be done. I recognize that with a powertrail, caches are bound to go missing (that is the nature of the beast), and I appreciate that many of you have helped out by bringing along spares. However, your average cacher does NOT carry around spare stamps, and even if you did, it wouldn't be the one that I originally and personally made for the cache.
So, I am asking for your help: please let me know in your logs which ones are indeed missing their stamps, and I will be changing them to Traditionals (the alternative is archival, unfortunately). Thanks for your assistance in this endeavor, and thanks for supporting this series. I am glad that I spent the many hours needed to create these. However, I cannot justify consistently having to make and then replace all the stamps, due to time constraints.
Sincerely, the CO, josephaw

First off, let me thank you for finding this geocache! I hope you enjoyed the experience of finding it as much as I enjoyed creating and hiding all of these letterbox caches.
This is just one of many such caches in my Dr Who Letterbox Series, made with the help and inspiration of friends. As a Letterbox cache, please leave the stamp for others to see and use, thanks! Each cache has a unique stamp, so bring an inkpad and collect them all! Have fun, and be safe!
"Love & Monsters" is the tenth episode of the second series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, first broadcast on BBC One on 17 June 2006. It was written by executive producer and lead writer Russell T Davies and directed by Dan Zeff.
The series typically follows alien time traveller the Doctor (in his tenth incarnation, played by David Tennant) and his companion(s) (at this time Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper), who travel around time and space in a machine called the TARDIS. However, "Love & Monsters" follows a contemporary ordinary man named Elton Pope (Marc Warren) who becomes obsessed with a man called the Doctor and his strange blue box, and joins a group of like-minded people in hopes of finding him. But when the mysterious Victor Kennedy (Peter Kay) joins the group, the fun stops and Elton discovers a darker side to his interests. Kennedy ultimately turns out to be a creature called the Abzorbaloff.
Due to the addition of a Christmas special in the production schedule, an episode had to be "double banked" with another story (in this case "The Impossible Planet" and "The Satan Pit") for production to finish on time. With "Love & Monsters", Davies was able to tell a story from a different character's point of view to allow for only a small appearance by Tennant and Piper. The "Doctor-lite" and "companion-lite" structure has since continued in the programme. The Abzorbaloff was also incorporated into the episode by necessity, as it was the winner of a Blue Peter children's competition to design a Doctor Who monster. "Love & Monsters" was watched by 6.66 million viewers in the United Kingdom and was met with divisive reception by critics and fans. Some praised the complexities of the script, while others felt it was a parody or strayed into offensive humour. Kay and the Abzorbaloff also attracted divided opinions.
Plot
The episode is presented as an excerpt from the video diary of Elton Pope (Marc Warren), a young man who is describing his encounters with the Doctor. Elton's on-camera narration forms a present-day frame story to a series of flashbacks related to the Doctor. Elton recalls a chance meeting with the Doctor and remembers having seen the same man as a child in his living room one night. On the internet he discovers others, including Ursula Blake (Shirley Henderson), who have also reported similar experiences with the Doctor. Elton and Ursula form a group known as LINDA, the "London Investigation 'N' Detective Agency". They are joined by three other people: Bridget (Moya Brady), Bliss (Kathryn Drysdale), and Mr Skinner (Simon Greenall). LINDA meets in a library basement to discuss their experiences, but soon their meetings become more social in nature.
One day a man by the name of Victor Kennedy (Peter Kay) interrupts a meeting and points out that LINDA has lost focus. He reinvigorates the group's efforts to locate the Doctor by teaching them spying techniques. Elton is given the task of getting close to Rose Tyler's mother Jackie (Camille Coduri). He manages to meet Jackie at a laundromat and is invited to her apartment. She tries and fails to seduce him, but when she finds a picture of Rose in Elton's jacket she demands that he leave her alone. Meanwhile, Bridget and Bliss disappear from the group unexpectedly. Victor explains their absence by saying that they quit to move on with their lives. After a meeting Elton, Ursula and Mr Skinner stage a walkout. Victor persuades Mr Skinner to remain behind, but Elton and Ursula leave. Ursula realises she forgot her phone, and she returns with Elton only to discover that Victor is an alien being known as the Abzorbaloff. They see the faces of the former LINDA members and other victims protruding from Victor's body. Victor manages to absorb Ursula, but Elton gets away from him.
Victor chases Elton into a dead end alley. Before the Abzorbaloff can touch him, the TARDIS materializes and the Doctor and Rose step out. Rose begins to chastise Elton for disturbing her mother Jackie before she sees that something is wrong. The Abzorbaloff tries to absorb the Doctor but the already absorbed members of LINDA use their willpower to hold back the Abzorbaloff's body. The Abzsorbaloff drops its cane, which Elton breaks at Ursula's instruction. The cane contained a field generator that kept the Abzorbaloff in control of its body, without it the creature dissolves into the Earth. The Doctor explains that he was at Elton's house years ago tracking an elemental shade, but he was too late and the shade killed Elton's mother.
In Elton's concluding narrative, Ursula's voice is heard and it is revealed that the Doctor was able to use his sonic screwdriver to keep Ursula's essence alive. Ursula's face is alive in a piece of paving stone that Elton keeps in his room. Elton explains that he and Ursula have an unconventional relationship and even have a love life.
Continuity This episode contains flashbacks to the events of "Rose", "Aliens of London", and "The Christmas Invasion"; some footage was reused, but most was restaged to be from Elton's point of view.[1][2] Rose remarks on the Abzorbaloff as being a little bit Slitheen-ish in appearance; the Abzorbaloff states that he comes from Clom, the sister planet of the Slitheen homeworld Raxacoricofallapatorius.[1][2] Victor Kennedy mentions that Rose'sTorchwood files are missing because they were corrupted by a "Bad Wolf virus", referencing both the recurring phrases of the first and second series.[2] This line was included to establish why Torchwood does not know what Rose looks like later in "Army of Ghosts".[3] The copy of The Daily Telegraph that the Abzorbaloff reads has the headline "Saxon leads polls with 64 percent".[2] This is the first appearance of the name of "Mr Saxon", a feature of a story arc in the third series.[1][2]
