When the Doctor uses an emergency unit in the TARDIS the travellers find themselves in an endless void, where they are menaced by White Robots. Having regained the safety of the TARDIS, they believe they have escaped - until the ship suddenly explodes apart. They then find themselves in a land of fiction, where they are hunted by life-size clockwork soldiers and encounter characters like Rapunzel and Swift's Lemuel Gulliver.
