Ground Control was the first story in the Doctor Who Annual 2010. In the same vein as Journey's End, it saw exploration of the Doctor's misdeeds throughout the cosmos. In a sense he is also on trial, as his sixth incarnation was. As with The Trial of a Time Lord, footage of the Doctor's prior adventures are viewed and analysed. The trial tries to answer the question "is the TARDIS a weapon". Further references are made to the Doctor's link with the TARDIS as he uncovers that he is being ticked. Again like Trial, the majority of the evidence is revealed as fabrication.
