Recap
As they travel in the TARDIS, the Doctor is adjusting Martha's cell phone to give her "universal roaming." She starts to make a call but the TARDIS picks up a distress signal and the Doctor makes an unsteady landing on its source: the cargo ship SS Pentallian. They've materialized in a venting chamber and the room is sweltering. The duo go through a door to the next chamber where the ship's crew come running up to them. They quickly close the door and say that the engines shut down four minutes ago. The ship goes into safety lockdown and a display says they have 42 minutes until collision. Martha looks out a porthole and sees that the Pentallian is falling a sun...Read the full recap
Episode Notes
The episode was originally scheduled to air one week earlier on 5/12/2007. However, the BBC's coverage of Eurovision Song Contest that day would have forced them to air the episode earlier or later than its normal timeslot, so they postponed a week.
