* TooDumbToLive: The Doctor.

* ExcitedEpisodeTitle

The Doctor had been spying on the asylum when he realised what was going on: the scientists are part of the Gallifreyan Celestial Intervention Agency. And the asylum's inmates were being systematically overwritten with the minds of young [=TARDISes=], who have been lifted out of their bodies and deposited in the computer system. The Time Lord C.I.A. wanted to establish TARDIS spies with flesh bodies in all societies that would eventually develop space/time travel. That way, excessive time travel could be prevented or shut down entirely if it ever got out of hand. As it turns out, Shokhra had established a strong mind link to the Doctor, and was able to save the Doctor from having his mind overwritten. He absorbs the Doctor's mind and body into himself for a while to share the burden of having an anguished TARDIS mind roaming about inside them. They use the Doctor's symbiotic psychic link to his own TARDIS, who calms down the baby TARDIS and soothes her pain.

* NoNameGiven: The cab driver. He thinks it's rather funny that no one bothers to ask until the end, and describes himself as a ClintEastwood style "Cab Driver Without A Name".

The Doctor had been spying on the asylum when he realised what was going on: the scientists are part of the Gallifreyan Celestial Intervention Agency. And the asylum's inmates were being systematically overwritten with the minds of young [=TARDISes=], who have been lifted out of their bodies and deposited in the computer system.

As the Doctor is restored to sanity, he also (rather amazingly) manages to convince the entire asylum staff that what they're doing is pretty much fascism. The entire group of Time Lords agrees to cancel the experiment and go back home. However, that still leaves a whole lot of baby TARDIS minds stored inside the asylum's inmates, going mad with the agony of being inside a flesh body. There's also a considerable amount of [=TARDISes=] still stored inside the computer system. The head of the asylum decides to make a HeroicSacrifice and let one of them, which had been transferred into Shokhra, take over her own body -- letting it wipe her own mind and erase all knowledge of the experiment, so that even the Time Lord mind probe experts could never retrieve the data. The young TARDIS is much more at home in a Time Lord body than in any other species, and with some mentoring from the Doctor's TARDIS, she's soon able to feel relatively stable in her new form. She and another young TARDIS decide to stay behind on the base to take care of the other TARDIS children and restore them all to sanity. Mel's cab driver decides to stay with them as well.

* LargeHam: SylvesterMcCoy ''really'' goes all out. The first sixty minutes of the episode are a grand ode to overacting. And it's ''glorious''.

The Doctor is locked in a mental asylum, and seems to have gone stark raving mad. He's babbling like a small child and very confused about the whole situation. His fellow inmates are people from different races, all of which were lifted from their regular lives just hours before they were supposed to have died. At some point in their lives, they all signed consent forms to be experimented on after their deaths. And although most of them thought it was just an odd joke, even the ones who took it seriously never had ''this'' sort of thing in mind.

* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Literally said by Mel about the Doctor and his TARDIS. [[[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife She's right, of course]].
