One Minute Fourteen Seconds (short story)

Summary
Shiir'ha'ash from Ra'ashpep visits Earth with the intention of providing technological assistance to help with problems such as the ozone layer and other terraforming projects. In return, the British government agrees to provide him with humans for food. During a live television interview with Jack and Gerry, however, the Doctor turns up and reveals the details of the agreement to the people in the studio. When Shiir'ha'ash finds out that it is not common practice for humans to eat one another, he transports back to his ship and leaves the solar system. Ace comments that the Doctor only took one minute, fourteen seconds to solve the situation and that this must have been a personal best. The TARDIS departs, leaving a British Cabinet minister in the awkward position of facing a live question and answer session about the government's dealings.
