Exiled to Earth by the Time Lords, the Doctor books a suite of rooms at the [[Carlton Grange Hotel]], in London, to take it easy for a while. He tells the hotel manager that it'll be nice to sleep in a great big comfy [[bed]] as life in [[the TARDIS]] all these centuries has been far from cosy. He then partakes a hearty meal and thereafter decides to take a [[nap]], But he is soon disturbed by a thumping on the wall between his suite and the next, and peeps through the keyhole of his neighbour. The Doctor sees [[Brothers (Action in Exile)|three young boys]] playing [[football]] and their manservant [[Chester (Action in Exile)|Chester]] warning them what their guardian [[Harrington Fitz-Walker|Mr Fitz-Walker]] will say. and just then Fitz-Walker arrives and tells them off for their behaviour. The aforementioned Harrington Fitz-Walker, then enters the room and threatens to thrash the lot of them. The boys are sick of having to behave like young gentlemen and decide on the spur of the moment to steal Fitz-Walker's private [[plane]] and fly off to another part of the world. The Doctor has been listening throughout and then enters the room telling them not to do it, but he is knocked unconscious as one of the children throws a vase at him. | Exiled to [[Earth]] by the [[Time Lord|Time Lords]], the Doctor books a suite of rooms at the [[Carlton Grange Hotel]], in London, to take it easy for a while.

The Doctor regains consciousness and explains to Mr Fitz-Walker that the boys are on their way to the airfield and about to steal his plane. As the Time Lord leaves, Fitz-Walker informs Chester this his henchmen are stealing weapon secrets from a nuclear arsenal that day, near to the airfield, and that they're supposed to use his plane as a getaway. They are soon in pursuit in Fitz-Walker's [[car]], with him revealing that he had been planning this raid on the nuclear arsenal for months and that it was worth a fortune to him. Ironically they are slowed down in their attempts to get to the airfield by a [[nuclear bomb]] protest march. At this point Doctor Who flies by on a [[motorbike]], telling Fitz-Walker that he will catch up with the boys, which he eventually does, however they throw a suitcase from their taxi, causing him to crash. | The Doctor regains consciousness and explains to Mr Fitz-Walker that the boys are on their way to the airfield and about to steal his plane.
