Worried about the polluted atmosphere the Doctor, whose lungs are used to pollution, says he will go outside to fix the scanner while Sara and Stevem remaining inside. | |||
Little does the Doctor know but the group has actually landed in a polluted area of [[1960s]] [[England]] outside a police station. Where the TARDIS is being watched by a group of policemen suspicious of its sudden appearance. Wen the Doctor emerges he comes face to game with these policemen and immediately returns to his TARDIS locking the door behind him. | |||
The Doctor explains to Sara and Steven that they are actually on Earth and informs them that he intends on keeping the policemen talking which will allow them to fix the scanner. No sooner is the Doctor out of the TATDIS then he is arrested and taken into the police station. There he encounters a number of policemen and a man who is there to make a complaint about a vanishing greenhouse. The Doctor observes that he has met this man before in a market place in Jaffa, much to the bemusement of the man. | |||
Outside the TARDIS Steven sneaks out of the box and behind a police car whilst one of the police guards are distracted. In the police car he sees a police uniform and steals it in order to pass himself off as one of their own. As soon as he enters the police station they greet him as "the new recruit from G division" a disguise that Steven is happy to continue with. | |||
Meanwhile in an interrogation room the Doctor is being very open about his real identity. When asked where he's from he says that he is from the Universe and when asked why he was in a police box he says that it is where he lives and that it is no mere police box but a "means of experimenting with time." The policemen judge that he is mentally unsound and go to take him elsewhere. Here he is intercepted by Steven who claims that he is a well known figure in G division and that he will look after him. As they emerge from the police station they see Sara in the process of being arrested. She was spotted trying to fix the scanner and ordered to move on by a policeman; she went to go but then returned. The Doctor and Steven rush into the TATDIS and Sara extricates herself from her policeman and joins them. | |||
Inside the TARDIS the Doctor brings the situation back to more serious matters and explains that he will destroy the Taranium as soon as they reach a suitable place where they can do so. The TARDIS lands again and they look on the newly fixed scanner to see where they are. To their horror they see a man tying a woman up to a saw mill. The travellers rush out and stop the assailant; Steven punching the assailant in the face. It is only after this has happened that they realise that they have materialised on a film set. The travellers run off being pursued by the angry director as well as the star of his film. As they run through the studios they encounter [[Charlie Chaplin]]. Little does Steven know but the director is seeking him out because he was impressed with his display of physicality and wants him to replace his injured star, which upsets his female lead as she is worried that she will be replaced by Sara. | |||
The travellers are soon split up. Sara stumbles across a Lawrence of Arabia style film set and hides in one of the props. The Doctor finds himself on the same set and is mistaken for a professor of Arabic culture, a part he is happy to play. Meanwhile Steven is being pursued by assistants trying to get him into a costume. They soon meet up again and make their way back to the TARDIS, not before the Doctor engages in conversation with a comedian and aspiring singer who is worried he'll never make it in showbiz because of his stupid name [[Bing Crosby]]. Eventually the travellers make their way back to the TARDIS and dematerialise leaving the stunned film crew desperate to know how the trick was executed. | |||
After that they have a toast to [[Christmas]] and the Doctor wishes a merry Christmas to everyone "at home". | |||
