Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams drop down from the ceiling into the 24-hour newsroom on the planet Vorala and boldly announce they are there to stop an invasion. Rory, armed with Amy's hair-dryer, prevents the plug being pulled on the live broadcast while the Doctor wrestles with security. With a sudden rise in ratings the Doctor finds himself being interviewed. When they break for the weather, the Doctor's suspicions are confirmed — the protected weather map is wrong and not a weather map at all but a hypnotic pattern being projected to every home around the planet. Using his sonic screwdriver the Doctor disrupts the perception filter that is disguising the weather man, who is actually a neighbouring enemy of the people of Vorala — the Blehurg. The Blehurg were close to hypnotising the whole planet before enslaving them and taking over.
