After reading one of [[Sarah Jane Smith]]'s books, [[Jo Grant|Jo]] gets in touch with her and discovers they both knew [[the Doctor]]. Together they place a small ad in ''Time Out'' magazine – "If you know what [[TARDIS]] means, call this number" – to attract the attention of other former [[companion]]s. With [[Liz Shaw]] and a less positive [[Tegan]], they wallow in nostalgia with good [[wine]] and the company of friends. They reflect that after their travels with the Doctor, they never found another man to live up to the memory. There is a knock on the door – [[Ace]] joins them. | After reading one of [[Sarah Jane Smith]]'s books, [[Jo Grant|Jo]] gets in touch with her and discovers they both knew [[the Doctor]].
