Line 13:
...approximately 8-year-old Gareth Jenkins, dressed in a smaller version of the 6th Doctor's outfit. Gareth quickly agrees to help set a trap for the Sontarans, and Tegan is asked to help out by...getting Gareth a box to stand on. Nice one, Doctor. The Doctor and Gareth then press a lot of buttons, mostly consisting of the Doctor saying lines and Gareth repeating them exactly back as he does the action. Within seconds, the Sontarans storm the control room of the TARDIS...and are shocked to hear that this child is ''the'' Gareth Jenkins.
 
Yes, apparently, Gareth Jenkins will foil a Sontaran plot to take over the Earth in the distant future of 2001, and decide to kill him now to change that. Makes sense, at least. Of course they don't, as Gareth springs the trap — a steam jet that makes the Sontarans puke green blood and [[Family -Unfriendly Death|melt horrifically]]. Yay.
 
Host Jimmy Savile then shows up and gives Gareth an award while [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|smashing the fourth wall into bits]].
Line 24:
* [[I'm Melting]]: The fate of the Sontarans.
* [[Jerkass]]: The Sixth Doctor whenever he's talking to Tegan. One wonders why she didn't snap back as much...
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: This Gareth Jenkins is not the same one that works for [[Big Finish Doctor Who|Big Finish]].
* [[Old Shame]]: Anyone who was involved in this from the ''Doctor Who'' side, it seems. Gareth Jenkins himself, [[The New Tens|now]] in his mid-thirties, has reportedly been spotted at conventions and is surprised to be recognized, so it doesn't seem to have done him any lasting trauma.
* [[Something Completely Different]]
