Big Finish Doctor Who/Recap/Specials Cuddlesome

The Cuddlesomes, the hottest must-have toys of the 80s, are back! These cuddly pink hamsters are the perfect toy for children of all ages, and even adult collectors will love them thanks to their advanced voice-recognition systems. The only drawback is their unfortunate tendency to spread a deadly alien plague... With the help of an eccentric female plumber, the Fifth Doctor must track down the source of the Cuddlesomes and stop a diabolical plan to wipe out the entire human race.

Cuddlesome contains examples of:

 * Bottle Fairy: Angela.
 * Cool Toy: The Cuddlesomes used to be this in the 80s, and their revival is advertised as a high-cost limited edition for collectors.
 * Creepy Doll: The Cuddlesomes. Even if they weren't coming to life and infecting people with an alien virus, they look like pink vampire hamsters and speak in a creepy high-pitched baby voice.
 * Half Human Hybrid: Miranda is transformed into a human-Tinghus hybrid.
 * The Ladette: Angela is a less crude example-- she works as a plumber, carries a hammer around in her bag, and drinks so much the Doctor has to be her designated driver.
 * Living Toys: The Cuddlesomes.
 * May December Romance: It's never stated outright, but John is implied to be quite a bit younger than Angela.
 * Nostalgia Filter: John and Turvey both vehemently insist that the 80s Cuddlesomes were much better than the new version.
 * Not So Imaginary Friend / Imaginary Enemy: The Tinghus is a psychic parasite that latches onto a child's fears and feeds on them, growing within the child's mind until it is able to manifest physically. In Turvey's case, it continued to influence him after he became an adult because he never grew up emotionally.
 * The Plague: The Cuddlesomes' bites spread an alien virus that causes skin lesions and eventually death.
