In 1921, he met the Eighth Doctor and Liv Chenka when Kitty asked the Doctor to check up on him - thinking he was a medical doctor. This lead the Doctor to investigate an unstable time field around Martin, but not before Martin had taken Liv on a tour of London, during which they go to see a Buster Keaton film, go to a restaurant and visit the British Museum.

All through this, Martin leaves items such as a diamond ring, and an alarm clock which aid the Doctor in evading capture by androids. When the androids took the TARDIS, he saved the Doctor, Liv and Kitty by jumping onto a temporal grenade. This caused him to become stuck in a time loop, reliving the events of the previous day, hence the reason for him leaving items to assist the Doctor and Liv. (AUDIO: A Life in the Day)
