== | == Plot == | ||
The Doctor | [[The Doctor's TARDIS|The TARDIS]] lands in an [[apartment]] in a [[tower block]] but its instruments indicate that it is in the middle of nowhere. [[Fifth Doctor|The Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]] and [[Vislor Turlough|Turlough]] are welcomed by [[Simon (Lant Land)|Simon]] and [[Joanne (Lant Land)|Joanne]], an uncannily attractive couple who were expecting visitors and who criticise Tegan and Turlough's names as unbelievable, suggesting that they change them to Yvonne and Derek. | ||
Simon and Joanne show the trio ''[[Lant Land]]'', a [[simulation]] of ordinary life which viewers eventually entered by downloaded themselves into the [[Lant]]s. As the [[television]] is without a plug and the [[book]]s are blank, Turlough deduces that they have arrived inside the simulation, but the Doctor corrects him. Some of the Lants wanted [[revenge]] for their bodies being stolen and put themselves into the real people. Everything happening in the apartment has been watched by the real people living in Lant Land, to whom the Doctor pilots the TARDIS. | |||
