The next day, at the most popular radio station in [[Britain]], [[disc jockey]] [[Billy Kiddsley|Billy "The Kid" Kiddsley]] is in the midst of his top-rated show when suddenly he can't think of anything to say. His mind is searching desperately for something, anything, when he remembers a man who had stopped him on the way to work, a man with deep, deep eyes who had given him a new record to play. | The next day, at the most popular radio station in [[Britain]], [[disc jockey]] [[Billy Kiddsley|Billy "The Kid" Kiddsley]] is in the midst of his top-rated show when suddenly he can't think of anything to say.

Every organ of government is terrified by the mass migration. At the Doctor's suggestion, he orders the power to the radio station cut, but it is too late. The Master's instructions have already been implanted in the minds of the millions that have heard the "music" of the Four Horsemen. As the Doctor points out, however, the problem is that no one knows what instructions the Master has given.

They discover the Master has set up his own, independently-powered sound system. It continues to keep his "troops" under his control. When the Brigadier tries to rush the Master, the evil [[Time Lord]] captures Lethbridge-Stewart with his machine. | While the military mobilises, scrambling fighters to a defensive position over Stonehenge, the Brigadier and the Doctor hop a [[helicopter]] to [[Salisbury Plain]].
