Prologue: Exiled to Earth
In the High Court of the Time Lords a trial was coming to its
end. The accused, a renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor, had
already been found guilty. Now it was time for the sentence.
The Doctor looked very out of place standing amongst the
dignified Time Lords in their long white robes. To begin with, he
was quite a small man. He wore an ancient black coat and a pair of
check trousers. He had a gentle, rather comical face and a shock of
untidy black hair. But there was strength in that face, too, and keen
intelligence in the blue eyes.
A hush fell as the President of the Court rose, and began to
speak. 'Doctor, you have been found guilty of two serious offences
against our laws. First, you stole a TARDIS and used it to roam
through Time and Space as you pleased.'
'Nonsense,' said the Doctor indignantly. 'I didn't steal it. Just
borrowed it for a while.'
The President ignored the interruption. 'More important, you
have repeatedly broken our most important law: interference in the
affairs of other planets is a serious crime.'
Again the Doctor interrupted: 'I not only admit my
interference, I am proud of it! You just observe the evil in the
galaxies. I fight against it.'
'We have accepted your plea, Doctor, that there is evil in the
Universe which must be fought. You still have a part to play in that
great struggle.'
At once the Doctor began to look hopeful. 'You mean you're
going to let me go?'
'Not entirely. We have noted your interest in the planet Earth.
You have visited it many times. You must have special knowledge of
that world and its problems.'
'I suppose I have,' agreed the Doctor.
'You will be sent to Earth in the Twentieth Century Time
Zone. You will remain there for as long as we think proper. And for
that time the secret of the TARDIS will be taken from you.'
The Doctor was indignant. 'You can't condemn me to exile on
one primitive planet, in one particular time.'
The President's voice was cold. 'We can, and we do. That is the
verdict of this Court.'
A new thought struck the Doctor. 'Besides, I'm known on Earth
already. It could be most embarrassing for me.'
'Your appearance has changed before. It will change again.
That is part of your sentence.'
The Doctor continued to protest. 'You can't just change what I
look like without asking me!'
'You will have an opportunity to choose your new appearance,'
said the President patiently. 'Look!'
As if by magic, a huge screen appeared on one wall of the
Court. Upon it the Doctor saw a wide variety of faces and forms. At
once the Doctor started to make trouble. He rejected each one with
the utmost scorn. 'Too thin. Too fat. Too young. Too old. No, I
certainly don't want to look like that, I can tell you.'
The President of the Court sighed. They were letting the fellow
off lightly. He ought to be humble and grateful, not kick up all this
fuss. 'You are wasting time, Doctor,' said the President. 'Since you
refuse to take the decision, we shall take it for you.'
The Doctor made no secret of his indignation.
'Well, I've got a right to decide what I'm going to look like,' he
grumbled. 'They attach a great deal of importance to these things on
Earth. I mean, it's not my fault if this is the best you can do, is it? I've
never seen such a terrible looking bunch!'
Ignoring the Doctor's protests and complaints, the President
sent a thought-impulse to a fellow Time Lord who sat at a nearby
control panel. The Time Lord's fingers moved swiftly over the rows
of buttons.
Immediately the Doctor was held in the grip of a force-field.
Unable to move, he felt the entire courtroom dissolve round him into
a sort of spinning blackness.
