Plot
After a day of searching for crop circles, Maxwell Edison is driving his motorbike back to Stockbridge on a still Autumn night. Today is Maxwell's 60th birthday. As he drives past a gate, a familiar blue box materializes on the road behind Maxwell.
The Twelfth Doctor jumps out of the TARDIS with a look of joy on his face. After a moment of being surprised that the Doctor has changed his face again, Maxwell is hugged by the Doctor. The Doctor explains that he has visited Stockbridge because he detected temporal distortions coming from the area. Maxwell is briefly disappointed as he had assumed the Doctor had came to celebrate Maxwell's birthday. The two then head towards Stockbridge to investigate the distortions.
They enter Stockbridge to find that the villagers have been frozen in time. The Doctor examines a woman and finds that she has been "slightly phased outside this continuum". He declares that everyone has been trapped between nanoseconds, and that whoever did it must have been a genius. Meanwhile, a floating camera drone watches the Doctor and Maxwell from the sky.
