There's really nothing that gives the reader any firm sense of when this story takes place.  The Doctor's apparently travelling alone, which generally indicates a post-[[The War Games|''War Games'']] story.  But he's also wearing his [[stovepipe hat]], which usually is taken to indicate a story set in the early part of [[season 4]], when he was still travelling with [[Ben Jackson|Ben]] and [[Polly Wright|Polly]].
