Plot
Part one
Naomi is unimpressed by the size of the TARDIS control room and the Doctor sets the ship to take them to the nearest holiday planet to show her and Harry how entertaining travelling together can be. They land on Erinee and are welcomed by the cicerones, who explain that they offer tailor-made holidays using native neuro-retention spores. The Doctor decides to leave, but Harry diagnosis him with stress and forbids him from re-entering the TARDIS until they have all had the opportunity to relax. However, the Doctor denies any responsibility should they be captured as part of an evil scheme during their stay.
The Doctor is given a holiday beside a swimming pool with several men playing chess whilst Harry is shown around a castle by Donald and Naomi enjoys activities at the beach with Abby. After losing four games of chess, the Doctor realises that he has been playing against an avatar of Alan Turing, who starts to feel more energised as the cicerones boost his power to keep the Doctor engaged in the scenario and starts to believe he is the real Turing. The cicerones take Turing away to be restored to factory settings when he collapses and the Doctor discreetly joins them, watching a screen showing Naomi collapsing and Harry being buried alive.
