One such interviewee reacts badly to being questioned. He runs into the bowels of the Underground. The Doctor gives chase. Under [[Tower Hill]] station, he and the Brigadier find that the man has disappeared, but the Doctor notices something wrong with the dimensions of the tunnel walls. Striking a portion of the tiled wall, he discovers a door into a secret chamber. | ||
There, he is swiftly apprehended by Hingrad, who places the Doctor into a stockades that happens to be in what is effectively the basement of the [[Tower of London]]. Hingrad aims a cannon at the Doctor and ignites it. The Doctor forces himself out of the cannon's line of fire, while at the same time using the cannonball to rip through the side of the stockades. Now free, he gives chase to Hingrad. | There, he is swiftly apprehended by Hingrad, who places the Doctor into a stockades that happens to be in what is effectively the basement of the [[Tower of London]].

There's nothing within this story that places it anywhere terribly specific within the [[Third Doctor]]'s lifetime. The mention of [[Mike Yates]] means that it likely, but not necessarily, comes after [[MA]]: ''[[The Eye of the Giant]]'', which depicts the first meeting of Yates and the Third Doctor. A good, general place for this story, given the absence of any female companions, is likely the gap between [[DW]]: ''[[Inferno]]'' and ''[[Terror of the Autons]]''.

That said, it's such a quick little story that it really could happen any time [[Liz Shaw|Liz]], [[Jo Grant|Jo]] or [[Sarah Jane]] were having a day off. | ||
Those looking for more specific placement might be happy with the completely arbitrary placement between [[PHS]]: ''[[Smash Hit]]'' and (the Third Doctor version of) [[TVA]]: ''[[The Labyrinth]]''. | Those looking for more specific placement might be happy with the completely arbitrary placement between [[PHS]]: ''[[Smash Hit]]'' and (the Third Doctor version of) [[TVA]]: ''[[The Labyrinth]]''. | ||
