The Tsuranga Conundrum was the fifth episode in the eleventh series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales.

Synopsis

As the Thirteenth Doctor and her friends end up stranded without the TARDIS on a hospital ship in space, with a strange and potentially deadly intruder on board, it is up to them, the crew, and the patients to figure out what it is, what it wants, and how to stop it before the creature tears the ship apart.

Plot

On Seffilun 27 in a Junk galaxy, the Thirteenth Doctor, Ryan, Yasmin, and Graham are hunting for something the Doctor desires to find with special detectors retrieved from the TARDIS parked nearby. While looking, they find something, the Doctor realising that it is a sonic mine, and accidentally triggers it and explodes just as the Yaz asks how long they have

The Doctor awakes on a hospital ship Tsuranga, finding the others alright despite her own apparent pain in her side.
