It was originally intended that [[Sara Griffiths]], who portrayed [[Ray (Delta and the Bannermen)|Ray]], would become a [[companion]] of the Doctor, with [[Bonnie Langford]] leaving the show. However, due to filming and airing schedules, Mel would leave in ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'' instead. ([[BBC DVD]]: ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') [[Sophie Aldred]] auditioned for the part of Ray, but instead took the role of Ace - the Doctor's new companion.

The group are assigned rooms, with Delta and Mel in one. The Doctor and Murray meet [[Billy (Delta and the Bannermen)|Billy]], the resident mechanic, who offers to help repair the bus. The trio pull the embedded satellite from a large dent in the bus' front. The Doctor enters the TARDIS and emerges with a [[Quarb crystal]], the only one this side of the [[Softel Nebula]]. The crystal is needed to fix the bus. Billy removes the old crystal and the Doctor gives Murray the new one. A friend of Billy's, [[ | The group are assigned rooms, with Delta and Mel in one.
