Synopsis
The Third Doctor is back... for Surprise Surprise!.

Plot
The Third Doctor walks slowly down the corridor, he then walks through the doors and declares to everyone "I am the Doctor!".
The Doctor then begins to have talks with the family that were sitting near by.
He begins asking them many a questions to which they respond.
He later asks the boy of the family if he wanted to have one trip in his TARDIS. The boy accepts the invitation gladly. They both start to wander to the TARDIS. Eventually they approach it and get in it together.
Only to then materialise back in the original studio, to the audience it was minutes, to them... who knows.
They then begin materialising back into the studio, the place they originally met.
They both decide to peep their heads out the TARDIS door very slowly to check it was safe to go out.
After dropping the boy off to his family, the Doctor then returns to his correct place in time and space... once again.
