Ace returned to the Drayton Court's pub on a Sunday in 1989, in search of her friends. Her visit was unsuccessful, apart from winning a modest payout from a fruit machine. Meanwhile, the Seventh Doctor shopped for cat food next-door. (TV: Survival)

Behind the scenes
Though the story explicitly places the Doctor and Ace firmly in Perivale, the real life Drayton Court Hotel is actually in nearby Ealing. It is not clear whether the Doctor and Ace ventured into the adjoining portion of Ealing, or if the hotel within the DWU was situated in Perivale proper. The interior of the adjacent grocery shop was filmed at a separate location in Perivale.
