The first commercial break features an advert for a [[Travel agents (Search Out Space)|travel agents]]. The shop window is full of notices. An [[Astronaut (Search Out Space)|astronaut]], a human and a [[Wolf (Search Out Space)|wolf]]-type creature point to a spinning shelf of [[postcard]]s in the advert. We then get a voice-over by Cedric in an American accent who advertises holidays on [[Mercury]]. [[Ace]] says from their they ship the holidaymakers to [[Venus]]. Cedric then mentions a trip to rocky [[Mars]]. Ace then mentions a trip to [[Jupiter]]. Cedric follows with a mention of [[Saturn]]. | The first commercial break features an advert for a [[Travel agents (Search Out Space)|travel agents]]. The shop window is full of notices.

The Doctor is at a snowscape which he describes as a [[Christmas]] scene. He then encounters a [[polar bear]] and wishes him a nice morning. He then cues the [[snow]] and [[wind]]s while complaining that the temperature is now -5 degrees. The Doctor then reads the third challenge | The Doctor is at a snowscape which he describes as a [[Christmas]] scene. He then encounters a [[polar bear]] and wishes him a nice morning. He then cues the [[snow]] and [[wind]]s while complaining that the temperature is now -5 degrees. The Doctor then reads the third challenge, The [[Game of But]]. Someone has to come up with a theory and someone else has to come up with a but. The Doctor says the challenge is between Cedric, Ace and K9. What makes summers hot and winters cold? he asks. | ||
Cedric is then in his spaceship, now steaming with heat, conducting another experiment. He again states he's not from Earth, but he thinks he knows the answer. He then starts touching a model of the Earth and says that it travels around [[the Sun]]. He then theorises in the [[winter]] the Earth must be further away from the Sun and in the [[summer]] it must be closer by. Ace, sat in a [[dinghy]] in an Australian lake, then tells the audience Cedric is wrong. K9 states there's always another possibility. K9 theorises, while looking at the TARDIS monitors, that perhaps in the winter the Sun gives out less heat. Ace, putting on an Australian accent, suggests if that were true the whole Earth would have winter at the same time. K9 then does an experiment with some targets outside and suggests in winter the heat is more thinly spread. Ace then experiments with an Earth globe. | Cedric is then in his spaceship, now steaming with heat, conducting another experiment.

This is followed by a commercial break advertising trips into space. One of the people doing the voiceover is the Seventh Doctor in a Yorkshire accent. He says if you go into space you can take the weight off your feet as there is no gravity. It is also stated that you'll love eating your first meal in space and not to delay. Then it says to book today. | This is followed by a commercial break advertising trips into space. One of the people doing the voiceover is the Seventh Doctor in a Yorkshire accent.

The Doctor then welcomes his audience back while crouched on his floating platform. He then says next is a colourful [[challenge]]. What is yellow or red or brown or black or orange or blue? he asks. He then says there is thirty seconds to solve the challenge and zooms away. K9 states it's an easy question. He then produces a floating video in space and says things change colour as they get [[hot]]. Firstly it goes [[red hot]], the [[orange hot]], then [[yellow hot]] and eventually [[white hot]]. The Doctor states it's true, but the answer he is looking for is something in space. K9 acknowledges this and states a piece of debris is heading towards him. K9 states it isn't colourful, but declares it no problem as he can make it colourful by heating it with his laser. The debris then gets red hot, yellow hot, bluey white however it isn't the answer the Doctor is looking for. What about the stars? he asks. | The Doctor then welcomes his audience back while crouched on his floating platform. He then says next is a colourful [[challenge]].

The debris then gets red hot, yellow hot, and bluey-white; however, it isn't the answer the Doctor is looking for. What about the stars? he asks. | ||
The Doctor then sends K9 to a metallic looking building in broad daylight. Much to K9's confusion as there are no stars there. He declares it a funny place to look for stars. K9 strolls across a bridge only to see a blue [[Smarties|smartie]] on the floor. He says it must be a clue. Ace, watching him on a videolink, says to think colours. K9 states it is supposed to be a bluey white star which is a [[new born star]]. The Doctor asks if K9 can work out the others before the time runs out to which Ace and Cedric cheer him on. K9 says a yellow smartie is a [[middle aged star]] like the Sun. K9 then races across the bridge. The orange smartie represents a [[weaker star]] getting near the end of its lifetime. He then races to the next one. K9 finds a red star which is a [[red giant]] which is a star that's burned up all is fuel and is getting cooler. He then sees a brown smartie and during his confusion Cedric and Ace continue to scream at him. The pressure gets too much for K9 so he teleports away. Ace cries about it. | The Doctor then sends K9 to a metallic looking building in broad daylight. Much to K9's confusion as there are no stars there. He declares it a funny place to look for stars.
