Jo looked at the Sergeant and shrugged.
‘Do you know what it’s all about?’ asked Benton.
‘Not really,’ she answered. ‘Just that it’s aliens. From outer space.’
Sergeant Benton sighed resignedly. ‘It always is.’ He said.
In this week's #TBT, the Doctor and Jo find themselves on a ship in the 1920s in their first trip in a fully operational TARDIS. But not all is as it seems...

My phone crashed and I only have one playlist in remade. All Ghost. So I'm not going to be cliché fanboy... I'm doing my old YouTube playlist I had for my dad and me.
1. Take Me Home Country Roads - John Denver
2. I'll Be Around - The Spinners
3. Sad But True - Metallica
4. Who Made Who? - AC/DC
5. Come as You Are - Nirvana
6. Long Tall Sally - Little Richard
7. Summer in the City - The Lovin' Spoonfuls
8. Kill of the Night - Gin Wigmore
9. Get Ready - The Temptations
10. Such a Night - Elvis Presley
Otherwise I've been listening to a lot of Ghost, old Hungarian gypsy music trying to find some peaceful remembrance in my ethnic music. Sometimes I have to avoid it out of painful thoughts.
Anybody can play. But I'll tag @echo1331, @jonpertwee, @canine--heart.
Sorry if left out anybody. I'm just distant again lately. Don't hold it against me.
The Doomsday Weapon is another story set in the future by Malcolm Hulke. The year is 2972. Earth has become overpopulated. I liked the idea that when people decide to escape their lives in towns that are cramped, they group together and buy up old spaceships and travel to new planets. We learn that Earth has no animals. Machines do everything for the people there. Marriage is stapling your records together in a personnel file. Walks are a treat you pay for. I liked learning about this future.
Pseudo-tagged by @betweentimeand42 here's six songs I've been listening to lately, in no particular order.
1. Mario's Flaming Whiskers III - Deerhoof
From Breakup Song (2012) comes this little piece of madness that sounds like a commercial for a video game that never happened. This is an excellent example as to why so many of Deerhoof's songs are earworms for me.
2. The Cape Verdean Blues - The Horace Silver Quintet
From the 1966 Blue Note album of the same name, comes this Latin-tinged number that really makes me want to move. (I don't dance, but I occasionally move.) It's jazz, so that's enough to frighten away most people, but it has an infectious calypso-style rhythm that I adore.
3. Little Maggie - Bob Dylan
In the early '90s, Dylan went back to basics and recorded two albums of solo acoustic covers. These were traditional folk songs and blues like "Little Maggie." They're rather nostalgic for me as the albums were released during my initial phase of Dylanmania.
4. Where's My Girl - Sparks
I always felt I had a pretty broad grasp of late 20th century popular music, but I completely missed out on Sparks until Edgar Wright's documentary showed me the error of my ways. (I've made up for it since then and even saw the brothers live last year.) This one's from 1981's Whomp That Sucker.
5. Cry Baby - Janis Joplin
What is there to say? It doesn't get any better than this. From her posthumous album Pearl (1971).
6. Honey Honey - Feist
A subdued and haunting track from a popular album, but maybe the one I like most. The Reminder (2007) was very successful commercially and there was a time when you could not escape it, but that doesn't mean it's not fantastic.
Tagging @witchofclinchmountain, @maeganbobaegan, @jonpertwee and anyone else who sees this. Cheers.
