Two days prior, the Doctor and Peri arrive in the English countryside via TARDIS and take traditional forms of transportation to reach the village of Hollowdean, where the Doctor plans to meet with an old friend, Foxwell, a former researcher in artificial intelligence for a government laboratory, but now has retired as reverend of the local church.
