Summary
As the Doctor and Martha contemplate visiting the Millennium Dome, they are caught up in an alien burglary of a high street bank. The four-fingered, four-armed green humanoid type creatures disguised with stockings over their heads, escape in a waiting van. Stealing a nearby convertible the Doctor and Matha head off in pursuit armed only with a discarded half eaten burger and an A to Z map. Under Martha’s navigating they take a shortcut only to find a similar robbery taking place.Sandwiched between the two alien getaway vans, Martha throws the half eaten burger at the van window which causes the alien driver to lose control and the two vans to collide. With their vehicles destroyed the aliens panic. They mention that the contest cannot continue and activate a trilexic teleport beam to leave the scene of an aborted robbery, leaving the money behind, they all disappear. Following the beam the Doctor and Martha head off to follow and find out more about this ‘contest’.

Notes
- Supporting the series of collectable Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine title, carried a regular 4 page, individually titled comic strip series of the Tenth Doctor’s adventures.
- Style wise, the artwork and colours were bold and bright reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as with Doctor Who Adventures (Magazine), it reflected the appeal to younger readers than that catered for by Doctor Who Magazine.
References
- The Battles in Time comic strip often sought to reinforce the Doctor character with that as seen on screen by utilising various ‘props’ used in the TV series. Namely; blue/brown suit, sonic screwdriver, psychic paper and his intelligent glasses.
