Ange eventually asks him if they can take Ian home, and Terry warns him that their mother will phone the police who will search the woods to find him, but Starman replies by saying that he will defend himself. Once the signal begins transmitting, Terry asks Starman if he has a family, to which Starman replies that he has no family and that the Daleks will come to Earth so they can conquer it. Suddenly, the signal gets intercepted by the Doctor whom Starman demands the children bring to him. | |||
Jo and the Doctor have been wandering the streets of the estate for almost an hour and are now in a small playground. Jo is shocked to find that there is a Dalek ship nearby that was most likely travelling back from the 22nd century. Jo suggests telling the Brigadier, but the Doctor doesn't want loads of tanks and helicopters swarming the estate, then Ange and Terry show up to tell the Doctor about their little brother being held hostage by Starman. When the Doctor walks up to them asking them about their so-called friend, the children offer to take him to see Starman.<br /> | |||
