- In a desperate attempt to regain control of the TARDIS directional

- a result and the crew are rendered unconscious.
- When they all regain their senses, Susan and Barbara believe that the
- TARDIS has been invaded by an alien force. Ian says that the TARDIS must
- be suffering a technical failure but the fault locator shows clear.
- The crew begin to suffer psychological problems and the Doctor accuses Ian
- and Barbara of sabotage and threatens to throw them from the ship.
- Even Susan begins to suspect the pair.
- Eventually they realise that the TARDIS defence system is responsible
- for all the trouble and had stopped the ship because the Fast Return Switch
- had jammed, threatening to return them all to the point of creation.
- This is the only story set entirely aboard the TARDIS with no other cast
- apart from the regulars.
