Summary
The Doctor and Rose arrive on Astro-Race day where Skip is readying his Hyposlip-500-light speed-podule for its first ever race. As the space race starts a huge ship appears and starts blasting the ships and using a tractor beam, takes them all onboard. The Doctor having always wanted to drive one of the pods, goes heads in pursuit, closely followed by Rose and Skips mechanic Jumo in a pod awaiting repairs and prone to power surges. The Doctor’s pod is damaged and taken onboard where the Doctor overhears Skip’s devious plan to sell the Hyposlip-500’s technology for ten trillion, to the Rakkonoids (Galactic techno-thieves). Skip had hoped his treachery would be unknown, but when Rose and Jumo crash into the ship, chaos ensues. Once the Doctor has piloted the ship back to the cliff-top launch site, Skip, along with the Rakkonoids are led away by the authorities. Jumo tells the Doctor and Rose that his bosses, the Brothers Hop Pyleen, will be greatful and want to thank them but they have dissapeared. No closer to tracking the other Platform One survivors the Doctor and Rose leave in the TARDIS still looking for answers.
