The TARDIS materialises in a quiet suburb early in the morning. The Doctor and Leela step out, but they have arrived a little too early for their mission. They sit on a bench and enjoy the morning, while the Doctor shows Leela a letter he must deliver. When they get up, the Doctor fails to notice that he has left the letter behind. Paul is doing his morning paper route when he accidentally bumps into a postman, knocking him down. He helps him up and hands him a letter that has fallen on the ground.
