They come across the first two members of an alien invasion fleet, and decide to save the day using some clever {{Improv}}. "Lady [[OverlyLongName Charleyostiantayshius]]" pretends to be a Gallifreyan observer (silly coat and everything) while the Doctor plays her bumbling, star-struck assistant who can't help {{squee}}ing over the fabled alien fleet captain. While he makes up a story about how Earth has contracted a nasty case of "World Cup Fever" (symptoms include dancing wildly and people mashing their faces together) and gets him drunk on "medicine", Charley tells the fleet's second-in-command that his only mention in the future chronicles is of a [[TooDumbToLive particularly stupid]] pet being named after him.
