The Doctor is blowing up a space ship. This is a bad idea, [[Captain Obvious|because space ships are]] [[Department of Redundancy Department|generally in space]], so he has to quickly improvise with putting on a space suit ''after'' being thrown out of the ship by the explosion.
Line 18:
Of course, little Cyril sneaks out of his hammock and into the giant present a day early. He ends up in the [[Whoniverse]]'s equivalent of [[The Chronicles of Narnia|Narnia]]. It's wintery and gorgeous, and the trees look very Christmas-like, including decorative balls. Well, eggs. One of them bursts open, and Cyril follows whatever came out of it.

Davies]] era, essentially condensing the entire plot of each (large spaceship ready to attack Earth, the Doctor saves the day) into a five-minute prologue before getting on with the real plot.
