The four-fingered, four-armed, green humanoid creatures, disguised with stockings over their heads, escape in a waiting van. | ||
Stealing a nearby convertible the Doctor and Martha zoom off in pursuit, armed only with a discarded half eaten burger and an A to Z map. Under Martha's navigation they take a shortcut, only to find a similar robbery taking place. Sandwiched between the two alien getaway vans, Martha throws the half-eaten burger at the van's window, which causes the alien driver to lose control and the two vans to collide. | |||
With their vehicles destroyed, the aliens panic. They state that the contest cannot continue and activate a trilexic teleport beam to leave the scene of an aborted robbery, leaving the money behind. Following the beam, the Doctor and Martha go to find out more about this "contest". | |||

* Supporting the series of collectible ''Doctor Who'' trading cards, the magazine carried a regular four page, individually titled comic strip of the Tenth Doctor's adventures. | |||
* The artwork and colours were bold and bright, reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as did ''[[Doctor Who Adventures]]'', reflected the appeal to readers younger than those catered to by ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''. | |||
* The ''Battles in Time'' comic strip sought to reinforce the association of its Doctor with the one seen on screen with "props" from the TV series: blue/brown suit, [[sonic screwdriver]], [[psychic paper]] and his intelligent [[glasses]]. | |||
