With a screech of old hinges, the door of the little blue police box that was sitting on the mountainside opened. A tall slim man leapt out of an impossible big room with a long-haired ginger woman hurrying after him, lest he disappear from view again. All of a sudden, he stopped. It looked as if his beige trainers would draw two furrows into the ground. They didn't. The Doctor looked around him with an expression of obvious confusion.
"We're not in Hamburg's port at all! Well, it wasn't full of trees the last time I was there and up a mountain... this is more like Bavaria or maybe the Black Forest. The TARDIS must be really confused!"
He got the sonic screwdriver from a pocket inside his brown suit, extending his arms with the silver gadget in both hands. "Why don't we ask that man over there where we are?" suggested Donna, pointing down the slope. The Doctor moved the sonic screwdriver towards a figure that could be seen in the distance, and he yelled.
- "Run!"
The Gallifreyan grabbed the hand of the Earthling and the two time-travellers fled behind a tree.
- "What's the matter?" whispered the woman.
- "That's not a man you saw over there. That thing is made of plastic, and that's really bad news", explained the Time Lord. "Hold on a minute," he breathed with his palm against the tree, "Did you notice what I'm noticing?"
Shock entered Donna's eyes. "Is it..."
The two of them kept watching the creature. There wasn't any sign of movement. The Doctor switched the sonic screwdriver back on and moved its blue light around him. Then he pointed it towards the ground.
- "Plastic! The whole world has been turned into plastic!"
