The TARDIS rerouted the energy to keep the essential systems circuits away from harm, but left the less-important circuits at risk. When of the circuits blows, causing the TARDIS to attempt an emergency landing. It turns out the dimensional interface override, nicknamed the "[[Alice in Wonderland Circuit]]", has been damaged, causing the Doctor and Donna to increase in size to [[12 (number)|twelve]] to [[13 (number)|thirteen]] [[feet]]. | ||
The TARDIS lands in "the middle of nowhere" and Donna describes their location as on a [[mountain]], next to a little shack. The Doctor correctly identifies a rather annoyed, old man as [[Minos (The Alice in Wonderland Circuit)|Minos]]. Minos speaks up, only to remember that he was on a seven year [[vow of silence]]. The Doctor deduces that the TARDIS landed on the mountain to seek the help of Minos, who owns parts for time machines. Minos had given up trading parts, but had retained anything he had owned for nostalgic purposes. They arrange a trade - Donna in her increased stature will fix Minos' roof in exchange for the needed parts to repair the [[Dimensional Interface Override]]. They go through with the trade, and say farewell as the Doctor and Donna depart in the TARDIS. | The TARDIS lands in "the middle of nowhere" and Donna describes their location as on a [[mountain]], next to a little shack.
