[http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Tom_Campbell Tom Campbell] a policeman is on his usual rounds when he is attacked by a man who has been sitting in his car outside a shop. After he has been beaten up he sees a nearby jewelery shop explode and two men emerge with bundles of stolen goods. They run into the waiting car and escape. In a daze Tom staggers towards a police box and opens it to discover it is the Doctor's TARDIS. His injuries, combined with the shock of the TARDIS, cause him to faint. The Doctor uses his scanners to see that there is a kerfuffle outside and leaves with Tom on board before any one else makes the same mistake as he did. | [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Tom_Campbell Tom Campbell] a policeman is on his usual rounds when he is attacked by a man who has been sitting in his car outside a shop.
