Publisher's Summary

It’s been forty years since Martin Bannister encountered the Doctor. They were different men back then. Martin was young and talented and the Times’ seventh Most Promising Writer To Watch Out For. The Doctor was mysterious, crotchety, and possibly Oriental.

It was an encounter that destroyed both their lives.

Pity poor Martin now. His career is in ruins, all forgotten. His estranged wives keep dying in the wrong order. And there’s a nasty green stain by the wardrobe that could be an alien footprint. Or possibly just mould.

Martin’s life is about to change unexpectedly. Impromptu poetry readings, elephant expeditions, an obligatory Bug-Eyed Monster. And a last desperate chance for love, before it’s too late.

Sounds like it’s time for the Doctor to come into Martin’s life again, and sort him out. Permanently.

From Muppet Wiki

Deadline was a TV drama created by Dick Wolf. The show centered on the fictional newspaper The New York Ledger, previously featured in the background of Wolf's Law & Order franchise. The series ran on NBC for a single season, from 2000 until 2001.

The ninth episode, "Somebody's Fool," aired on March 24, 2001, features a subplot revolving around a celebrity safety voice-over campaign in New York taxi cabs. Among the celebrity announcers is Elmo. Kevin Clash appears as himself (and receives guest star billing in the opening credits), recording a safety message as Elmo, minus the puppet: "Elmo loves riding in taxi cabs, and he always buckles his seatbelt for safety. Thank you, Seatbelt! Ha ha ha, hee hee!"

New York Ledger journalist Wallace Benton (Oliver Platt) has been roped into taping a safety voice-over of his own, and briefly chats with Clash, who notes that "Some days you operate the Muppet; other days, the Muppet operates you."
