Any Old Iron (comic story)

Opening narration box
The Doctor and Donna have been captured by a junk dealer …

Summary
With a broken chrono-loop spectrometer the TARDIS’s auto-repair circuits scan for replacement parts and lands on a desert planet with no sign of life. Suddenly from overhead a spacecraft arrives and from on top, the Doctor and Donna hear a voice shout out for “any old iron!” before being teleported aboard. Silas Wrench introduces himself as a collector of rare metal marvels and takes offence when Donna suggests he is simply a rag and bone man, a junk dealer, and he starts shooting at them. Running away deeper into the ship, the Doctor and Donna find in a pile of scrap, a Horobot (robot time traveller). The Horobot pleads with the Doctor to help save him from being scrapped when Wrench arrives with his latest acquisition, the TARDIS. Wrench raises his gun to the Doctor and Donna and demands that the Doctor open the TARDIS.
