Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
It's Christmas. The TARDIS is decorated, and the crew open presents. The Doctor decides they need a pudding, and finds an old one in the cupboard. Tegan refuses to eat it, so Adric decides to make a pudding using Block Transfer Computation. As Tegan and the Doctor prepare to eat it, Adric refuses to share. Tegan kicks the pudding, which hits the Doctor. The Christmas tree crashes to the floor, and Nyssa angrily stuffs the pudding up Tegan's nose.
