On an overcast mid-winter evening, at the [[1990s|turn of the | On an overcast mid-winter evening, at the [[1990s|turn of the millennium]], a man is feeling bitter as he locks up the soon-to-be-closed observatory at [[Greenwich]] where he worked as a research scientist since the [[1960s]]. Walking home, he is befriended by a [[Seventh Doctor|strange little man]] who confides in him that the [[King]] will have it open again soon and reflects on the passing of time. They chat further as the little man walks him back to the village, both taking shelter under his [[The Doctor's umbrella|umbrella]]. The little man, who seems somehow familiar, explains that while his friend [[Ace]] was shopping for a pair of Doc Martens he had decided to call on an old friend who happened to be out at the time. | ||
Before they go their separate ways, the little man is asked if they've met before. With a smile, he says, "Perhaps — [[Ian Chesterton|when you were a teacher]]", and walks off, leaving the man to go home to his wife. A short while later, seated by an open [[fire]], his wife [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] hands over a present that was left for him earlier in the day by a strange man. Inside is a [[Coal Hill School tie]] — a reminder of his first teaching job and the [[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|strange events]] that had first brought the two of them together. | Before they go their separate ways, the little man is asked if they've met before.
