In early November 2000, Tom was kidnapped by Iris when he thought he was catching the bus to Putney Common. The bus was Iris' TARDIS. His first trip in the bus took Iris and him to Calgoria, where they became embroiled with the forest-dwelling Jirat and the pathologically metropolitan Trinarr. While Tom was travelling with Iris, they were joined by Jenny. They aided the Doctor in defeating the Dalek Supreme in the Crystal Mines of Marlion.
