As he watched the final, the [[First Doctor]], fresh from his victory over [[WOTAN]], found him. The [[Time Lord]] had been tracking down the Star so as to tie up loose ends from his last visit to England. To his dismay, he found the Star too late. By then, the Star had started to overload, taking in not just the rag and bones man's wishes, but those of people all over England.

Unbeknownst to the revellers, however, Ferrara (and the world beyond) was being [[alien invasion|invaded]] by the [[Threllip]]s. As part of the subterfuge to end the invasion, the Doctor convinced the Threllip that the jubilation in Ferrara was actually a sign of an illness called "World Cup Fever", to which the Threllips were also susceptible.
