Plot

The Seventh Doctor materialises in front of host Noel Edmonds, claiming he needed help repairing the TARDIS, whose cyclismic energy cells and peon particle appropriator have developed an electro-magnetic echo.

When Edmonds (who instead tries to get information about his future in the far-off year of 2014 out of the Doctor) confesses that he has no idea what that even means, an unconcerned Doctor instead beckons the Cyber-Leader out of the TARDIS, revealing that he has hired the Cyberman to fix the ship, instead. After the Doctor succeeded in restarting the TARDIS, the Cyberman was left behind and replaced Edmonds, inviting viewers to tune in next week for the "Cyberman Saturday Roadshow".
