Having finished the last slice of [[Evelyn Smythe|Evelyn]]'s [[chocolate]] [[sponge cake]], [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] heads to [[Pease Pottage]] to meet [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] whilst his younger self is dropping an older Mel home following [[The Doctor's trial (The Mysterious Planet)|his trial]], albeit at an earlier [[time]] than intended. The older Doctor hurries off after meeting the older Mel and the younger Doctor meets the younger Mel on her way to work at the [[Pease Pottage Radar Station|radar station]] as he investigates a [[car]] wrecked by an ''[[Iguanodon]]''. The wreck is ignored by Mel and disappears entirely when [[Muriel Wilberforce|Mrs Wilberforce]] orders the Doctor to leave the village. | Having finished the last slice of [[Evelyn Smythe|Evelyn]]'s [[chocolate]] [[sponge cake]], [[Sixth Doctor|the Doctor]] heads to [[Pease Pottage]] to meet [[Melanie Bush|Mel]] whilst his younger self is dropping an older Mel home following [[The Doctor's trial (The Mysterious Planet)|his trial]], albeit at an earlier [[time]] than intended.

He goes to investigate what Mel casually refers to as a [[time explosion]] and encounters his older self, whom he saves from a trap on [[Horsham Road]] and makes [[contact]] with. They find that [[the Doctor's TARDIS|their TARDISes]] have disappeared. | ||
The older Mel meets Mrs Wilberforce, who explains that she has been looking after her whilst [[Christine Bush|her mother]] and [[Alan Bush|father]] are on a [[cruise]] but also that she died in [[1964]]. Mrs Wilberforce recognises that this Mel is from the future and decides to take her to Mr Petherbridge, encountering both an ''Iguanodon'' and a ''[[Baryonyx]]'' outside. Although she is unsurprised to see the [[dinosaur]]s, she, like Mel, who memorised 150 species of dinosaur at the age of eight, knows that ''Baryonyx'' is carnivorous and they run away from it. | The older Mel meets Mrs Wilberforce, who explains that she has been looking after her whilst [[Christine Bush|her mother]] and [[Alan Bush|father]] are on a [[cruise]] but also that she died in [[1964]].

The older Mel and Mrs Wilberforce take refuge in [[Beresford (The Wrong Doctors)|Mr Beresford]]'s [[bungalow]] with Jedediah and watch as the younger Doctor uses [[K9]]'s [[dog whistle]] to distract the ''Baryonyx'' until it fades away.

He learns that Jed, who goes to hold up a carriage carrying [[gunpowder]], died in the [[19th century]] and goes with the older Mel to meet up with their other selves in the woods. The older Doctor suspects that the younger Mel is under [[mind control]] given that she claims to have no knowledge of [[computer]]s when he meets her at the radar station and tempts her into coming after him once she calls Mr Petherbridge. | ||
The two Doctors | The two Doctors, deducing that they are within [[cauterised time]], keep the younger Mel from seeing her older self and decide to split up. The younger pair find that the spaceship belongs to a group of [[Mardak]]s led by [[Ksllak]] and [[Vaneesh]], who provide services by transporting goods through the [[Time Vortex]] with unstable [[valanxium]] channels. The Doctor threatens Vaneesh into leaving the [[planet]] but, when she identifies him as a [[Time Lord]], she deems him and Mel to be competition and orders them to be incinerated. | ||
As the younger Mel seems enthralled by Mr Petherbridge, the older pair locate him in the village hall and demand to know where the TARDISes are. He demonstrates his powers by showing them [[Victoria|Queen Victoria]]'s [[1837]] visit to Pease Pottage and the transportation of prisoners, including Jed, to [[Lewes Naval Prison]]. He frees the younger Jed, [[Pete (The Wrong Doctors)|Pete]] and other prisoners and has them capture Mel and tie the Doctor to a cart full of gunpowder, handing Jed a flint to light the fuse. Not believing that he has any choice, Jed sets the rope attached to the cart alight. | |||
