The Doctor has taken Heather to buy a Christmas tree for her gran. But according to a local Norwegian forester the trees are vanishing without trace – they aren’t being pulled up or chopped down! Investigating a sound nearby, the Doctor is surprised to find a [[Capranom]] (a kind of goat that consumes a massive amount of food by shrinking it down first and storing the energy). When Heather sees more of them, they worry about the whole forest and the Doctor returns to the TARDIS to set a trap. Setting up a plastic Christmas tree the Capranom are soon trying to shrink it, not realising its artificial. As the other Capranoms gather round to help, the Doctor rounds them up. | The [[Tenth Doctor|The Doctor]] has taken [[Heather McCrimmon]] to buy a Christmas tree for her gran.

But as soon as they are rounded up the Doctor and Heather are rounded up by a [[Capranom|goat herder from space]], who after having travelling across half the galaxy mistakes them for rustlers. The Doctor assures him that they were only protecting the trees and once the animals are safely penned, the herder agrees to wait until after Christmas so that they can feast on all the dead unwanted trees. The Norwegian forester they met when they arrived is grateful the trees have been saved and lets Heather pick any tree she wants for her gran. | But as soon as they are rounded up the Doctor and Heather are rounded up by a [[Capranom|goat herder from space]], who after having travelling across half the galaxy mistakes them for rustlers.
