A man staggers towards the [[River Thames]], wearing ragged clothes and a strange metal helmet. He screams, tearing the straps off the helmet, walks into the river, and drowns himself. [[Kew Railway Bridge|Near]] the same spot, the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] materialises. The Doctor cannot see where they have landed but it appears to have a similar atmosphere to Earth. When they leave the TARDIS it is clear that they have landed in London, as the view across the Thames is of [[Butler's Wharf]]. [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] are delighted they have returned home at last, but it is a curiously silent and deserted London. The Doctor is concerned about the decay they see around them and wonders what year it is, fearing that it is nowhere near Ian and Barbara's time. [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] tries to look over a wall, but slips and twists her ankle. The force of her fall causes the bridge under which the TARDIS has materialised to collapse, burying the TARDIS and blocking the travellers' access to it. | A man staggers towards the [[River Thames]], wearing ragged clothes and a strange metal helmet.

The Doctor and Ian decide to look around in | The Doctor and Ian decide to look around in a nearby warehouse for tools to help unblock the TARDIS door. Barbara remains behind to look after Susan. Exploring an abandoned warehouse, Ian and the Doctor are unaware they are being watched. From a window, Ian spies [[Battersea Power Station]] with its chimneys damaged, while the Doctor finds a calendar marked [[2164]]. | ||
Back with the TARDIS Barbara goes to the river to soak a handkerchief for Susan's ankle but as she does she sees the body of the man that killed himself earlier. She returns back to Susan only to find her gone and a dirty-faced man there instead. The man tells her that they have to get out of there before they get killed, and that Susan has been taken by someone called Tyler. He urges her to follow as the sound of automatic fire is heard in the distance. | Back with the TARDIS Barbara goes to the river to soak a handkerchief for Susan's ankle but as she does she sees the body of the man that killed himself earlier.
