In [[1879]], on [[Winston Churchill]]'s fifth [[birthday]], someone that young Winston interpreted to be a [[Punch and Judy]] man arrived and began tracking a miniature [[crocodile]]. The man, who wore a [[the Doctor's scarf|long multi-coloured scarf]], called Churchill "Winnie". Churchill found himself enjoying the company of the strange man. The figure, actually the [[Fourth Doctor]] eventually caught and smashed the crocodile, actually a [[Cybermat (The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill)|Cybermat]], before disappearing in his [[the Doctor's TARDIS|Punch and Judy box]].
