Relaxing in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] after their strenuous but fun day, [[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Romana II|Romana]] muse that it's not so bad where they are | Relaxing in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] after their strenuous but fun day, [[Fourth Doctor|The Doctor]] and [[Romana II|Romana]] muse that it's not so bad where they are, they have fun every day. The details of what they do may change from day to day, but perhaps it doesn't matter. | ||
Romana drifts off to sleep on a ''chaise longue'' whilst the Doctor explores a mysterious toybox. He muses on the nature of toys, the adults who bought them and the children who played with them for a while, caring for them and enjoying them until the games change, and eventually it's time to put them away. He finds an especially interesting doll resembling a Chinese Mandarin. A projector somewhere in the shadows begins showing a flickering movie, but when the Doctor tries to tell Romana about it, he discovers that he has been turned into a toy himself, a puppet hanging silently by marionette strings. Unable to move, the Doctor watches the film and drifts off to sleep himself. | Romana drifts off to sleep on a ''chaise longue'' whilst the Doctor explores a mysterious toybox.
