The [[First Doctor]] then appears from behind her and invites her to join him for tea in the canteen. Though she is startled to find him dining with a pair of [[Dalek]]s, the Doctor reassures her that they will be harmless as long as not insulted. However, when Barbara mentions needing to leave due to being late, the [[Silver Dalek (Barbara in Wonderland)|Silver Dalek]] becomes upset, and the Doctor asks Barbara to give him "the pip" every hour and five minutes. Barbara promptly leaves. | Lost in the [[BBC Television Centre (in-universe)|BBC Television Centre]], [[Barbara (Barbara in Wonderland)|Barbara]] starts to feel hungry and disorientated, believing she has a "time-ache" when she can't recall how long she has been lost.
