Ace is with two other girls, [[Wendy (Evening's Empire)|Wendy]] and [[Shaz (Evening's Empire)|Shaz]], both being treated as slaves, watching a bloody fight being fought between two warriors. Wendy hopes that the warriors don't do "{{w|scalping|that thing with the head}}", an act performed only on Fridays. Unfortunately for them, it is a Friday; one of the warriors uses his sword to slice the top of the head off the other warrior, and Wendy shields her eyes. In Middlesbrough, the Doctor follows Alex home, to his shed. Inside, Alex is letting himself slip away, which he plans to do all night and all of tomorrow, a [[Saturday]]. He believes he is alone. He is not. | Ace is with two other girls, [[Wendy (Evening's Empire)|Wendy]] and [[Shaz (Evening's Empire)|Shaz]], both being treated as slaves, watching a bloody fight being fought between two warriors.

* Originally intended as a multiple-chapter story for ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', only the first chapter was ever published in DWM, in November 1991. The remainder was abandoned due to production issues. In September 1993, the complete strip, colourised and altered, was published as the ''[[DWCC Autumn Holiday Special]]''. Although published in magazine format, some sources such as the reference work ''[[Howe's Transcendental Toybox]]'' treat it as a graphic novel. The original black-and-white version of Part One is reprinted in ''DWCC Autumn Holiday Special''. | * Originally intended as a multiple-chapter story for ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', only the first chapter was ever published in DWM, in November 1991.
