The [[TARDIS]], carrying the [[Fifth Doctor|Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] and [[Nyssa]], gets taken off course after a heavy dose of smog interferes with its systems during travel and crash-lands near [[Manchester (city)|Manchester]]. They are found by [[Cathy Roberts]], [[William Hurley]] and his father [[Hurley]]. Cathy discusses the event with her father [[Roberts (The Peterloo Massacre)|Roberts]] and he forbids her from going to the protest tomorrow, citing behaviour like this is leading her to strange and dangerous situations. After getting some rest, they wake up and meet industrialist and [[engineer]] Mr. Hurley, who learns about the TARDIS (which he is told is a ship) and gets some men to bring it back to his estate, interested in it for his own ends though. The TARDIS is heavily damaged and the Doctor informs Tegan and Nyssa privately that the self-repair will take a day before they're ready to go. Hurley offers the Doctor a tour of his factory who, intrigued, agrees and brings Tegan along while he asks Nyssa to stay with the TARDIS in case it needs some assistance in its self-repair. Inside the factory they learn Hurley is employing children and one of them gets injured and trapped in one of the machines, and the Doctor, ignoring Hurley's warning, goes down to the factory floor to save him. Cathy meets Nyssa but is told off by Mrs. Hurley who then introduces herself to Nyssa. | The [[TARDIS]], carrying the [[Fifth Doctor|Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] and [[Nyssa]], gets taken off course after a heavy dose of smog interferes with its systems during travel and crash-lands near [[Manchester (city)|Manchester]].

The Doctor manages to save the boy much to Hurley's annoyance and attempts to treat him despite Hurley's insults and indifference, preferring to simply dismiss him. Tegan volunteers to head into town to look for medical supplies for the Doctor since Mr. Hurley doesn't keep them around for his employees and she is unwillingly accompanied by William Hurley while the Doctor says that he and Mr. Hurley need to discuss the way his factory is run. Mrs. Hurley finds out about the march that Cathy intends to go on tomorrow and dismisses her and while Nyssa tries to defend her and calm the situation, Mrs. Hurley kicks her out as well. The Doctor, in his discussion with Hurley, discovers the [[chronometer]] was badly damaged and that they're not in the time he thought, but are in [[1819]], on the [[Peterloo Massacre|eve of a very dark day in history]]... | |||
