Summary
Arriving on an alien planet in the 208th century the Doctor and Heather wander off unaware that Heather had accidently left the TARDIS door open and its arrival has been seen by Ronnu Thanjess. When they return to find it gone a neighbour shouts down from a window that its been taken by Ronnu – a dodgy bloke that sells used spaceships. She also tells him where his yard is and they follow the directions to a yard several streets away where they find Briak Thanjess who has been beaten up. Briak sold the Doctor’s blue box, but the new owner Ludo Farltrati (a local crook) wasn’t happy that he couldn’t get it to work. Ludo left taking his brother Ronnu, with him.The Doctor and Heather arrive at Ludo’s warehouse posing as mechanics able to fix the TARDIS. Once they are all inside the Doctor ‘fixes’ the TARDIS and when they emerge they find themselves once more in the warehouse by which time the police have arrived. The Police arrest the dangerous criminal Ludo and also Ronnu for theft, but Ronnu is just grateful for being alive. Going back into the TARDIS the Doctor heads off with Heather for a trip to Hyde park in London.
