The [[First Doctor|Doctor]], [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]], [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] and [[Susan]] arrive at a destination that the Doctor assures his guests is 1960s Earth and is [[England]]. He intends on throwing Ian and Barbara out there and then, but they butter him up and convince him that they should just check to see if he has been accurate in his landing of the craft. | The [[First Doctor|Doctor]], [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]], [[Barbara Wright|Barbara]] and [[Susan]] arrive at a destination that the Doctor assures his guests is 1960s Earth and is [[England]].

Ian further adds that if the Doctor has landed them back in their own time, then they should part under more friendly circumstances. His temper cooling off somewhat, the Doctor agrees to see Ian and Barbara back home safely. | ||
When they leave the TARDIS it is clear that it is Earth but they note how dark it is and that there appear to be no street lights around. While Ian investigates he finds a small feral boy in the woods. After questioning, the boy informs the travellers that they are actually in France and are 12 kilometres from Paris. The Doctor states that 100 miles<ref>London and Paris are approximately 200 miles apart in reality</ref> from the intended destination — whilst not perfect — is pretty good. Before they can question the boy any more, he runs off. The foursome continue to explore and eventually find an abandoned house. They split up and explore it. Barbara, Ian, and Susan begin to suspect that the Doctor has not been as accurate as he imagined when they find [[18th century]] furniture and clothes around the house. They also find fake papers, some of which bear the signature of [[Maximilien Robespierre|Robespierre]], the chief orchestrator of government during the {{w|Reign of Terror}} in the year [[1794]]. | When they leave the TARDIS it is clear that it is Earth but they note how dark it is and that there appear to be no street lights around.
