Summary

to be added

Characters

• First Doctor
• Dodo Chaplet

References

• The Doctor tells the landlord Dodo is his granddaughter.
• The TARDIS arrives on Earth almost 100 years before Dodo's time.
• "Plate layers" are the men laying down tracks for the new railroad.
• The Doctor thinks of Susan, Barbara, Ian, Vicki, Steven, Sara, and Katarina.
• Temporal energies upset Dodo's senses.
• The craft beneath the station is an early unmanned Time Lord time capsule cast out to survey the time vortex. It hyper-evolved the nearest lifeform, a European mole, to act as a defense mechanism.
• The Doctor programs the craft to return to its owners, and rushes Dodo back to the TARDIS before the craft dematerialises, commenting that it was "too close."

Notes

• The Doctor remembers all of his past companions save for Oliver Harper.

Continuity

• Steven Taylor recently parted company with the Doctor and Dodo, (TV: The Savages) but they've had several "fine" adventures since then. (PROSE: Tarnished Image, There are Fairies at the Bottom of the Gsrden)
