The [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] materialises outside the [[Disney theatre]] in [[London]]. The [[Fourth Doctor]] emerges and asks a passer-by if he knows [[Donald Duck]], [[Mickey Mouse]] or [[Goofy]]. After some prompting, the man recalls that those are all "[[Disney]] toons". The Doctor then explains that, as he was passing by the planet [[Mars]] in the TARDIS, he realised he hadn't seen Mickey and the gang in a long time. He cites this as the reason for his arrival in London, "just in time for ''[[Clock Cleaners]]''". | The [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] materialises outside the [[Disney theatre]] in [[London]].
