Prelude Conundrum was, as the name suggested, a prelude to Conundrum by Steve Lyons. It did not appear in the published novel.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

On Christmas Eve in Arandale, police sergeant Malcolm Blyth wanders the streets, not sure what to do with himself but relieved that things are finally returning to normal.

Suddenly he sees a blue police box. Blyth encounters Dr. Who, recently arrived with his grandchildren John and Gillian, and is informed that almost everyone in the village has been kidnapped by Vogans and replaced with robot doubles.
