The Doctor has tracked the latest alien pod to France ...
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
In Paris, the area around a third crashed alien craft has been evacuated and placed under UNIT control. The Tenth Doctor's psychic paper gives them entrance as providers from Noble Catering. This is a bigger craft, with more crew and more alien mutations, this time giant rats taking refuge in the alien craft.
The Doctor uses the communication system to contact the mothership. The Queen of the Zantraan is expecting her three scout ships to have found a safe landing site for the royal ship.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Supporting the series of collectible Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine carried a regular four page comic strip of the Tenth Doctor's adventures.
- The limitation of only four pages meant that stories often lacked depth compared to other regular comic strips running at the same time.
- The Battles in Time comic strip sought to reinforce the association of its Doctor with the one seen on screen with "props" from the TV series: blue/brown suit, sonic screwdriver, psychic paper and his intelligent glasses.
- The artwork and colours were bold and bright, reflecting the tone of the magazine and as did Doctor Who Adventures, reflected the appeal to readers younger than those catered to by Doctor Who Magazine.
