Still roaming the diner, the Doctor enjoys the company of [[Morvin Van Hoff|Morvin]] and [[Foon Van Hoff]], sharing a meal with them and talking about one of Foon's favourite shows ''[[By the Light of the Asteroid]]''. Foon won the trip from the show by correctly guessing a trivia question over the phone. They befriend the Doctor when he uses his sonic screwdriver to burst the cork on a wine bottle, wildly spraying a group of passengers who are mocking the Van Hoffs' clothes. Hearing "Red 67" called, the Van Hoffs tell the Doctor that means that they're going on a trip to Earth to see how the humans celebrate. The Doctor decides to join them, using his [[psychic paper]]; he even makes Astrid his plus one to help her see another world. | Still roaming the diner, the Doctor enjoys the company of [[Morvin Van Hoff|Morvin]] and [[Foon Van Hoff]], sharing a meal with them and talking about one of Foon's favourite shows ''[[By the Light of the Asteroid]]''.

The ship's historian and guide, [[Copper (Voyage of the Damned)|Mr Copper]], tells the Red 67 assembly that they will be visiting [[London]], U.K. However, he then gives dated and mangled information about the country and Christmas: saying [[Santa Claus]] is their god and married to Virgin Mary, and that the people of U.K. kill and eat the people of [[Turkey (country)|Turkey]] every Christmas. The Doctor, unable to believe Copper's incompetence, asks where he got his information from; Mr Copper explains he has a degree in [[Earthonomics]]. The red alien, Bannakaffalatta, arrives, being one of the Red 67s; the Doctor dissuades him to go down to Earth as he's not even disguised and will cause a panic. | The ship's historian and guide, [[Copper (Voyage of the Damned)|Mr Copper]], tells the Red 67 assembly that they will be visiting [[London]], U.K. However, he then gives dated and mangled information about the country and Christmas: saying [[Santa Claus]] is their god and married to Virgin Mary, and that the people of U.K. kill and eat the people of [[Turkey (country)|Turkey]] every Christmas.

Mr Copper abruptly teleports the assembly onto a London street—surprisingly deserted. The Doctor is suspicious as the streets should be filled with shoppers on Christmas Eve. Mr Copper tells everyone that he has a prepaid card to pay for trinkets if they wish; although he does warn them to watch out as "they start [[Boxing Day|boxing any day]] now." While Astrid is amazed by the sights and smells of the city, the Doctor notes that the [[pyramid]]s and [[New Zealand]] would be better tourist spots. | Mr Copper abruptly teleports the assembly onto a London street—surprisingly deserted.
