Left to her thoughts, Bill looks around with room with nothing but the sound ticking clocks to keep her company. She notices the TARDIS in a corner, with an "Out of Order" sign hanging on it. Bill's attention is next drawn to the professor's desk, where there's a mug filled with [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|the Doctor's old sonic screwdrivers]]. She reaches out to examine one but is startled when the silence is broken by the sound of an [[The Doctor's guitar|electric guitar]] playing the opening bars to ''[[Beethoven's Fifth Symphony]]''. She coughs loudly to make her presence known, and the Doctor sticks his head around the door. He tells her to wait a moment. After that, Bill listens to him clumsily put away the guitar and turn off his amp. | Left to her thoughts, Bill looks around with room with nothing but the sound ticking clocks to keep her company.

[[Twelfth Doctor|The Doctor]] enters the room and takes his seat; he asks Bill for her name. He wonders why she's been attending his [[lecture]]s as he knows she is not a student at the university. She admits that she actually works at the [[St Luke's canteen|university canteen]], but attempts to deny sneaking into the Doctor's lectures. He counters that he has seen her and asks again why she keeps turning up. After fumbling over a story about [[Lou|a girl she fancied]] in the canteen, Bill confesses that she loves his lectures and always wanted to attend the university. She then challenges him, asking why the man has taken an interest in her as "plenty of people come to [his] lectures that aren't supposed to". He explains that he has noticed her because she smiles when she doesn't understand something, whilst the majority frown. | [[Twelfth Doctor|The Doctor]] enters the room and takes his seat; he asks Bill for her name.

Bill asks around about the Doctor, saying that it's rumoured he's lectured for over 70 years. The Doctor thinks she's asking about his age, but Bill says that she wants to know what subject he's supposed to be lecturing on. It seems he has permission to talk about whatever he wishes; on one occasion, he was supposed to give a lecture on quantum physics but talked about poetry. He tells her that they're basically the same thing because of all the rhymes. The Doctor offers to be Bill's personal tutor, and sort out her enrolment with the university, on the condition that she comes to his office at 6pm every weekday, even if someone is dying and that if she gets anything less than a First on every assignment, the tutoring will cease. As she leaves, she asks what she should call him, as everyone calls him the Doctor. He tells her it's what he's called. Bill is sure this cannot be his real name, asking "Doctor what?" The Doctor just smiles. | Bill asks around about the Doctor, saying that it's rumoured he's lectured for over 70 years.
