The TARDIS, the land of fiction.
Duration: 
1 day.

The lava causes the fluid links to begin overheating. The Doctor prevents a crisis but is forced to use an emergency unit to jump out of the time-space continuum. Visions of the Scottish highlands and Zoe's home city appear on the scanners, tempting them outside into a white void. The Doctor, influenced by a voice inside his head, goes to find them and brings them back into the TARDIS. He attempts to leave but the TARDIS bursts apart. Jamie and Zoe end up hanging onto the TARDIS console whilst it is spinning in a black void.

The TARDIS crew then "wake up" into a new environment. They face a variety of characters from fiction. They are able to destroy many of them simply by refusing to believe in their existence and defeat others by wordplay, being in the land of fiction. They finally meet the master of the land, who wants the Doctor to take his place as he is getting old. The Doctor is able to start rewriting some of the events going on around him. Eventually the computer controlling everything in the land is overloaded by the actions of the Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe, and the Doctor and companions find themselves back in the suddenly re-formed TARDIS.
