NicoleR85: thanks! You'll find out in this chapter where she ends up.

Savethemadscientist: it appears that he does, yes.

The Doctor and Freya were crouched inside a small cupboard, squashed together due to the lack of space. Suddenly the entire place starts to spin, catching them both off guard. The Doctor grabbed hold of his soulmate in an attempt to try and protect her from getting bounced around too much. "Whats happening?" Freya asked.

"I don't know", the Doctor replied "Just hang on!"

The door to the cupboard flew open and the Time Lords tumbled out. The room they'd fallen into was brightly coloured with drawings on the walls and a modern style chair. "Oh, my God!" a female voice exclaimed, gaining their attention. They looked over to see a woman in her 30's rush over to them "I don't believe it! Why'd they put you in there? They never said you were coming".

The Doctor got to his feet, helping Freya up. The blonde promptly fell into him, as her legs felt incredibly unsteady. The Time Lord collapsed on the carpet as he felt rather wobbly too.

The woman, Lynda gave then a look of sympathy. She knew exactly how they felt it was the same way for her when she first arrived. "That's the transmat. It can scramble your head a bit. I was sick for days", she explained before she got the pair back on their feet, Freya first and th the Doctor once she was sure that the Time Lady was able to stand on her own. "So, what's your names then?" She asked moving back from the Doctor as she was satisfied that he seemed steady enough.

"The Doctor ...I think", the Doctor said though he was a little unsure for some reason. Was that his name?

"And I'm...Freya, I believe", the Time Lady said, as equally confused as the Time Lord. Her mind was still spinning like that cupboard. "We were…" the blonde frowned. What had they been doing before they were in the cupboard "I don't know…" she glanced at the Doctor.

"Don't look at me. I haven't got the foggiest", he admitted "What I'd like to know is how we got here. Wherever 'here' is".

"You got chosen", Lynda said excitedly.

The Doctor and Freya exchanged confused looks. Chosen for what exactly?" the Doctor asked.

"You're both housemates!" Lynda elaborated, still pretty excited "You're in the house. Isn't that brilliant?!"

"Whose house are we in? And why are we housemates?" Freya questioned, feeling even more confused than before.

"You're in the Big Brother House. Isn't it cool?" Lynda replied happily. The Doctor raised his eyebrows in disbelief at her answer.

"You've got to be kidding me", he said.

"I'll say", male voice said. The trio looked over to see a young man with an unamused expression on his face. A black woman stop next to him looking equally annoyed "We've got eviction in five minutes! I've been here for all nine weeks, I've followed the rules, I haven't had a single warning, and then they come swanning in", the young man, Strood, complained.

The black woman also voiced her displeasure "If they keep changing the rules, I'm going to protest, I am. You watch me, I'm going to paint the walls"

"Would the Doctor and Freya please come to the Diary Room?" A voice said seemingly from above them. There was a loud buzzing and a door slid open. The Doctor took Freya's hand and they walked into the Diary Room.

The Time Lady sat in the chair while the Doctor perched on the arm. "You are live on channel forty four thousand. Please do not swear", the voice instructed.

"Hold on, is Big Brother a TV show?" Freya asked the Doctor.

"Yes. Yes it is", The Doctor replied. He had no idea how they ended up inside the Big Brother House or what they'd been doing before but one thing he knew for sure, he was going to get himself and his soulmate out. They weren't going to spend five minutes here.

After spending a couple of minutes in the Diary Room, the Time Lords started their search to find a way out of the Big Brother House. "I can't open it", the Doctor declared as he tried a door after sweeping his sonic over it.

"It's got a deadlock seal, ever since Big Brother five hundred and four when they all walked out. You must remember that", Lynda explained.

"What about this?" Freya called from the other side of the room. The Doctor and Lynda joined her at what appeared to be a window but it was just blackness outside. "Looks like a window", she remarked.

"Does appear to be one", the Doctor agreed "though there's only a wall on the other side. Isn't there supposed to be a garden out there or something?"

Lynda scoffed under her breath "Don't be daft. No one's got a garden anymore. Who's got a garden?" she asked rhetorically.

"We do", Freya replied "in the…TARDIS…" the blonde glanced at the Doctor eyes wide as her memory suddenly came flooding back "I remember…"

"That's the amnesia! So what happened? Where did they get you?" Lynda questioned.

"We'd just left Raxacoricofallapatorius", Freya replied "Then we went to Kyoto".

"That's right, Japan in 1336!" the Doctor added, recalling that trip "and we only just escaped…"

"Afterward we were in the TARDIS, laughing and joking about it. Then there was this really bright light that came through the walls and…we ended up here", Freya finished.

"Yeah, that's the transmat beam", Lynda nodded "That's how they pick the housemates".

"Oh, Lynda…it's much worse than that. We're not just passing travellers. No stupid little transmat gets inside my ship", the Doctor told her "That beam was fifteen million times more powerful, which means…this isn't just a game. There's something else going on" the Time Lord stepped toward to a camera "Well! Here's the latest update from the Big Brother house. We are getting out. Freya and I are going to find my friends, and then I'm going to find you". The Doctor placed his finger on the camera lens threateningly, giving the camera a glare.

"How are we going to get out?" Freya asked "door's deadlock sealed…windows are no good either".

"We could get ourselves voted out", the Doctor suggested.

"How stupid are you? You've only just joined, neither of you are eligible", Strood sneered.

"You don't have to be rude . I can't see you coming up with a viable suggestion", Freya shot back, coming to the Doctor's defence "Lynda? Any thoughts?"

"Strood is right, you cannot get voted out but…you could get forcibly evicted", Lynda answered "other Linda, with an I, not with a Y like me, damaged a camera".

"What, like this?" the Doctor asked, pointing his sonic at the camera and pressed the button. The slender device made camera spark, destroying it.

"The Doctor, you've broken the House Rules. Big Brother has no choice but to evict you. You have ten seconds to make your farewells, and then we're going to get you!" the voice of Big Brother announced.

"That's more like it!" the Doctor darted over to what he believed to the exit door with Freya "Come on, then. Open up!" he ordered banging his hand on it.

"You're mad! It's like you want to die!" Lynda cried.

"What do you mean?" Freya asked, confused "you suggested it".

"Yeah, but I thought you knew how this all works", Lynda argued "when you're evicted…its from life".

"What?!" the Time Lady exclaimed "they kill you? Why?"

"That's just the game, I'm afraid", Lynda said sombrely.

"If you knew this, why did you guys apply?" The Doctor demanded "is risking your life worth getting yourselves on telly?"

"We didn't apply", Strood said.

"You get chosen whether you like it or not", Crosbie added. The door the Time Lords were standing by slid open.

"The Doctor, please leave the Big Brother house", the voice of Big Brother ordered.

"You sure we should go in?" Freya asked uncertainly "She did say 'evicted from life'".

"We'll be fine", he assured her "they wouldn't kill us. They brought us here for a reason" The Doctor held out his hand to her "trust me". Freya placed her hand in his and they entered the small room beyond. The door slid shut behind them. "Come on then! What are you waiting for?" the Time Lord said loudly, looking up at the camera "evict us!"

"Eviction in five…four…three…two…one…"

The pair heard the sound of something powering down. "Ah, ha! I knew it!" the Doctor cheered "You see, someone brought us into this game. If they'd wanted us to die, they should've transmatted us into a volcano". The Time Lord used his sonic on the on the lock on the door and it swings open. The door to the house slides open too and Lynda popped her head through.

"Come with us", the Doctor said. Lynda glanced back at Strood and Crosbie who were looking at her from the sofa.

"We're not allowed!" Strood cried.

"Stay in there, you've got a 33.3333333% chance of being evicted", the Doctor stated "stay with us and I promise we will get you out alive so come on".

"No…I can't…I can't", Lynda said nervously.

"Lynda, you're a sweet girl. So tell me honestly, do you think anyone votes for sweet?" the Doctor asked, holding out his hand to her. Lynda looked at his hand and then to his face. She could see the logic in what he was saying and so she took his hand. The trio ran out into the corridor.

"This looks rather familiar", Freya remarked taking in their surroundings.

"Yeah, it does", the Doctor agreed "This is Satellite Five. And no guards", the Time Lord commented "That makes a change. You'd think a big business like Satellite Five would be armed to the teeth".

"No one's called it Satellite Five in ages. It's the Game Station now. Hasn't been Satellite Five in about a 100 years", Lynda told them. The Doctor checked his watch.

"Its 100 years exactly", he reported.

"So that makes it the year two zero-zero/ one zero-zero", Freya added.

"We were here before, on floor 139. The Satellite was broadcasting news channels back then. Had a bit of trouble upstairs. Nothing too serious. Easy. Gave them a hand, home in time for tea", the Doctor explained as they walked.

Lynda gave them a sceptical look "A 100 years ago? What, you were here a 100 years ago?" she asked.

"Yep!" the Doctor said, popping the p, placing his hand on a touch sensitive pad next to a door but nothing happened.

"Well…you're both looking good for it", Lynda remarked as he took out his sonic, scanning the edges of the door.

"Thanks", Freya said.

"I'm getting funny sorts of readings", the Doctor said.

"What kind of readings?" the Time Lady asked.

"All kinds of energy", the Doctor replied "The place is humming. It's weird. This goes way beyond normal transmissions. What would they need all that power for?"

Lynda shrugged "I don't know", she replied "I think we're the first ever contestants to get outside".

"We had a couple of friends travelling with us. Rose and Jack. They must've got caught in the same transmat. Where would they be?" Freya mused aloud.

"I don't know", Lynda repeated "They could've been allocated anywhere. There's a hundred different games".

"Like what?" the Doctor asked, giving her his full attention.

"Well, there's ten floors of Big Brother. There's a different House behind each of those doors. And then beyond that, there's all sorts of shows. It's non stop. There's…um…Call My Bluff…with real guns…Countdown, where you've got thirty seconds to stop the bomb going off…Ground Force, which is a nasty one…you get turned into compost. Erm, Wipeout, speaks for itself….Oh! and Stars In Their Eyes. Literally, stars in their eyes. If you don't sing, you get blinded", Lynda explained.

"And you guys watch this stuff?" the Time Lady questioned rather horrified by all those game shows.

"Everyone does", Lynda replied "How come you don't?"

"Never paid for our licence", the Doctor told her.

The woman looked at the Time Lords, shocked by this revelation "Oh, my God!" she cried "You get executed for that".

The Doctor held up his sonic "Let them try", he said.

"You keep saying things that don't make sense", Lynda said "Who are you two really?"

"It doesn't matter", the Doctor quickly replied before Freya could say anything.

"Well, it does to me. I've just put my life in your hands", Lynda argued.

"We've already told you our names Lynda: the Doctor and Freya. And we travel from place to place in our ship called the TARDIS", Freya explained.

"So, if we get out of here, what're you going to do? Just wander off again, travel from place to place?" Lynda pressed.

"Yep. As fast as we can", the Doctor replied.

"So…I could come with ya?" Lynda asked tentatively.

"I don't see any reason why you can't", Freya said "we've quite a fair amount of room in our ship".

"But let's just concentrate on the getting out", the Doctor added "And to do that, you've got to know your enemy. Who's controlling it? Who's in charge of the satellite now?"

"Hold on", Lynda darted across the room and pulled a lever which illuminates huge letters on the wall.

BAD WOLF CORPORATION

"Your lords and masters", Lynda declared.

"You've got to be kidding me", Freya said, gaping at those words. Bad Wolf, yet again! What in the universe does this mean!
