"the Doctor" - nothing more. But something deep inside tells
him to trust the TARDIS, and his hands move over the
controls of their own accord.

takes him to a strangely familiar junkyard in late-nineties
London, where he is flung into a confrontation between local
drug-dealers and Samantha Jones, a rebellious teenager from
Coal Hill School.
But the
Doctor soon finds the TARDIS transporting him to various
places in order to recover all his memories - and that
