Playtime was a Brief Encounter short story published in DWMS Holiday 1992.
Summary
On a day trip to London with her Aunt Lavinia in November 1963, Sarah, a young girl with an enquiring mind, nips off to explore while her guardian goes off to buy sweets for her. Behind some double gates she finds a junkyard full of shop window dummies, broken chairs, picture frames and, strangely, a police box. Lost in her own world, during which she briefly pretends to be a reporter at one point (thus sowing the seeds for her future career!), she suddenly remembers her aunt and races off as a car pulls up and an older girl runs into the junkyard.

Notes
- The story presents some of the events of An Unearthly Child from the viewpoint of Sarah Jane Smith. Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? shows Sarah as thirteen years old in 1964, and she clearly gives her age as "twenty-three" in Invasion of the Dinosaurs, set in 1974.
