Kazran is the unelected ruler of Sardicktown and is a heartless man. He runs a business in loansharking and uses the frozen bodies of family members as security. He also runs a sideline in controlling the [[cloud bank]], which has an unnaturally high proportion of water - this allows fish to swim amongst it. It is in this water-and-ice based cloud cover that the ship is caught. The first time we meet Karan, a family is pleading with him to allow one of these bodies to be thawed out to enjoy Christmas. He rejects this. Angrily the young son throws a chunk of coal at Sardick's head. Sardick goes to strike the boy but doesn't. The Doctor tries to persuade Kazran to open the skies by using his Isomorphic controls. Kazranturns him down, saying he doesn't care if they live or die and the Doctor is thrown out. He talks to Amy and sees some small Fog Fish around a lamp. | ||

Kazran wakes to find that his video is being projected onto a wall; in the video Kazran's father comes in and strikes him as he has disobeyed him by researching the fish. The Doctor comes from behind adult Kazran and asks if he ever saw the fish, (at this point young Kazran is crying on the video). Kazran says that this day was the day when he first began to realise that there was no one that would ever help him and that he was on his own in the world. The Doctor says he can change the past. Kazran laughs this off as impossible the Doctor leaves the room promising Kazran that he will be back - "way back." The sound of the TARDIS is heard and young Kazran on the video looks around; the Doctor appears on the video. The Doctor jumps around the room explaining that he is Kazran's new babysitter. Adult Kazran protests to himself that this didn't happen, but suddenly remembers that it did. | ||
Young Kazran and the Doctor are in the wardrobe holding some string which is attached to the Sonic Screwdriver which they are using as bait for a fish (young Kazran is the only boy in his class without a 'fish' story). A few minutes later, The Doctor opens the door to see a small fish. He walks out, leaving Kazran in the wardrobe. Adult Kazran, still watching the video, remembers what happened and says "Don't go out!". The Doctor looks at the fish, figures out how they survive in fog when shark flies in at swallows the fish and half the Sonic Screwdriver. The Screwdriver starts to kill the shark from the inside, and the Doctor attempts to console a saddened Kazran. He says he could get the shark into the sky, but she'd never survive the trip without a life support. To his surprise, Kazran offers an ice box. | Young Kazran and the Doctor are in the wardrobe holding some string which is attached to the Sonic Screwdriver which they are using as bait for a fish (young Kazran is the only boy in his class without a 'fish' story).
