Chapter 2- meeting Gina and George.

The doctor and Peri were dumfounded. How could they have arrived in a fiction series set in the 1960's? Peri was not convinced. Not until she saw the sign for the Aidensfield Arms. Then another thought crossed her mind and she expressed it to the Doctor

'Doctor if we are in Heartbeat what series have we arrived in. There seems to be no clues around to tell us.

'Good point Peri. Listen we can narrow it down when we go into the pub. If Gina is not there it is either series 1 or the first 3 episodes of series 2. If George and Gina are there it is either series 3, 4 .5 or 6. If George is not there but is not dead it is series 7. If he is dead it all the series after that. Then we take it from there okay?' Peri looked stunned but nodded her head and followed the Doctor into the pub.

George was tending the fire and Gina was behind the bar when the Doctor and Peri walked in. a few early punters looked stunned as they walked in but that was not surprising. The doctor got funny looks wherever he went. It was part of the job. The doctor walked to the bar.

'Yes sir how can I help you' asked Gina not caring about the doctor's appearance.

'Two lemonades please. And if possible directions to the local doctor. My friend is not too well.' As Gina went to get the drinks Peri noticed a problem.

'How are you going to pay for the drinks?'

'Oh Peri' the doctor replied. 'Don't you think I thought of that?' As Gina returned with the drinks the Doctor got some coins out.

'So what will that come to?' the doctor asked puzzled by the money

'Sixpence sir' Gina replied smiling. 'Not from round here are you? Oh and by the way the doctors is by the war memorial on the green. The doctor is called Dr. Rowan. Tell her Gina said hi'.

'Thank you very much indeed Gina' and the Doctor paid the money and he and Peri took a table to themselves by the door.

'Peri I have worked out what series we are in.' the Doctor whispered to his loyal companion. 'It is either series 4 or very early series 5. Either way I want the doctor have a look at you. You hit your head quite hard'.

'Yes doctor.' With that Peri and the doctor finished their drinks and headed out of the pub
