Lost the TARDIS Location (Potential Spoilers!) Texas, Earth, England, The Moon, USA Synopsis "Houston – we have a problem." An astronaut in full spacesuit appears out of thin air in a busy shopping centre. Maybe it's a publicity stunt. A photo shows an immaculately-dressed woman in her best shoes lying dead at the edge of a crater on the dark side of the moon – beside her beloved dog 'Poochie'. Maybe it's a hoax. But as the Doctor and Amy find out, these are just minor events in a sinister plan to take over every human being on earth. The plot centres on a secret military base on the moon – that's where Amy and the TARDIS are. The Doctor is back on Earth, and without the TARDIS there's no way he can get to the moon to save Amy and defeat the aliens. Or is there? The Doctor discovers one last great secret that could save humanity: Apollo 23.

It has great narrative hook with the spaceman turning up at the fast food restaurant, an intriguing sci-fi plot involving swapping people's minds with the brains of aliens, and perfect characterisation for the Doctor and Amy.
