The [[Seventh Doctor]] is relaxing in a park in [[Solar City]] when he is suddenly accosted by [[Miff]], a reporter for the ''[[Universal Herald]]''. Miff has noticed [[the TARDIS]] materialise, and thus smells a story. He insists upon an interview, but the Doctor is keen to maintain his privacy. | The [[Seventh Doctor]] is relaxing in a park in [[Solar City]] when he is suddenly accosted by [[Miff]], a reporter for the ''[[Universal Herald]]''. Miff has noticed [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] materialise, and thus smells a story. He insists upon an interview, but the Doctor is keen to maintain his privacy. Miff threatens to write the story without the Doctor's co-operation, so the time traveller suggests they go to the nearby [[Metebelis Bar]]. There, they'll find any number of the [[Time Lord]]'s friends, and Miff can get some great background material for the story. | ||

His only escape route is running straight for the TARDIS. The Doctor obligingly lets him in, and they take off before the angry mob can get either of them. The problem for Miff, though, is in the landing. | His only escape route is running straight for the TARDIS.

The Doctor drops him off in [[Solar City]] — but ten years in the future. By that time, the ''Universal Herald'' has gone out of business and Miff has no-one to whom he can sell his scoop. | ||
