Summary

Part one

On the Planet Acantha, The Thirteenth Doctor, Graham, Ryan and Yaz are walking along discussing the Beatles. Gaham is saddened to learn that The Doctor has used up all the dates to see the Beatles. Ryan teases Graham and calls him granddad, which Graham responds to by saying he never thought he would be sorry to hear that. Yaz asks the Doctor how the planet was named if there is no intelligent life. The Doctor is happy to hear the question and declares ten points to Yaz. Ryan sarcastically asks if they are being graded, to which the Doctor points out that that would be unfair and she loves them all equally, before whispering to Yaz she gets ten points. The Doctor informs her friends Acantha is rich in minerals so it has attracted a lot of attention over the years and Graham finds a collapsed mine. Ryan gets shocked by static electricity which the Doctor thinks is odd.

Suddenly a ship hovers over them telling them to stay where they are, and the Doctor discovers the ship contains Mobox. She tells her friends they're not evil, just a bit touchy and brutal and trys to introduce herself.

Continuity

• Graham asks the Doctor to take him to see the Beatles, but she is unable to because she has "used up all the dates". The Doctor has, indeed, seen the Beatles many times before: the Sixth Doctor partied with them (PROSE: Gone Too Soon), the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond met one of their members, Ringo Starr (GAME: City of the Daleks), and the Tenth Doctor took Martha Jones (COMIC: Signs of Life) and Donna Noble to see them on stage.
