Professor Candy dictates to one Steven Moffat an afterword to a book of fiction about the Doctor. After explaining to the reader that when they become too involved in the history of a planet, the Doctor has been known to use some sort of "panic button" to retcon all recordings of their activities there into fiction of some sort, Candy appeals to the Doctor — who he know will be reading the book — to finally return him to his home time.
