Original Air Date: February 8, 1984

Directed by: Matthew Robinson

Synopsis: The Doctor (Peter Davison) and his team find themselves on modern day Earth where a time corridor in a building creates confusion and chaos for a bomb squad not used to dealing with Daleks.

Kitty Cameo: While searching for a Kaled mutant, the Doctor spots something moving beneath some sacks and carefully uncovers it, revealing a tabby and white cat.

Unfortunately the prison ship’s cat, Sir Runcible, who was featured in the later novelization of this episode does not actually appear in this serial.

Final Mewsings: Cats are offended when you mistake them for Kaled mutants.

Many thanks to Mark Murton for letting us know about the cat in this episode.
