Summary
Andy Buller is a burglar alarm engineer, fitting expensive and inappropriate devices in the homes of the vulnerable. He is in an elderly lady's house - a Miss Richards - when a spatial anomaly begins to bend the dimensions of the house. The event is traced by the Doctor who arrives just as a family of alien tourists is about to appear. The Doctor uses a television set to warn the aliens of the damage their arrival is causing and helps them to materialise safely. Buller produces a gun and shoots the mother of the family, intending to take the children hostage for financial gain. However, Miss Richards electrocutes him and as he leaps into the intersection of two spatial entities he is killed. Miss Richards offers to join the two motherless aliens on the rest of their journey through the universe, starting with Skegness.
