The book ends with a catalogue entry confirming that the Doctor has borrowed the book ... only instead of being called ''Massacre On Deltherus 5'', it's now called ''Miracle On Deltherus 5''.

StevenMoffat's very first ''Series/DoctorWho'' story, originally published in 1996 in the short story anthology ''Decalog 3''. Available [[http://doctorwhomedia.co.uk/minicaster/Continuity%20Errors%20By%20Steven%20Moffat.pdf online]].

Since Moffat is currently the head writer and show runner of ''Doctor Who'', references to this short story have been popping up with some frequency in his episodes.

In [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E8SilenceInTheLibrary the Library -- so large that it doesn't need a name --]] a bored and grumpy Librarian named Andrea Talwinning meets the Seventh Doctor. He needs a specific book about a specific war that's taking place right now in the past. It contains crucial details that he needs to know about, in order to save thousands of lives. The book is off-limits, so Andrea tells him to get lost. Weird, her co-worker notes, because the previous Librarians were all the Doctor's best friends for some reason. The Doctor's companion (nicknamed "Bad Earrings" by Andrea) saunters off towards the shelves to go read the finished version of her own published diary, ignoring the Doctor's warnings about that sort of thing.

The Seventh Doctor decides to take matters into his own hands, and starts [[Recap/DoctorWho2010CSAChristmasCarol manupilating Andrea's past to make her a much friendlier person in the present]]. Several elements of the story jarringly stop making sense as Andrea's attitude rapidly changes. Andrea notices the increasing continuity errors in her own life story with a feeling of dread. She goes to talk to "Nice Earrings" to ask her why she suddenly has a lover at work -- then a husband -- then a daughter who was supposed to have died years ago. She remembers a whole new life, but she feels, deep down, that her life was very different just a few moments ago. Because she ''knows'' the Doctor is behind it all, and she tries her best to resist. Meanwhile, the narration is interspersed with more notes from the lecture about the Doctor's methods.

[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E8LetsKillHitler Professor Candy]]'s lecture notes elaborate on the Doctor's danger. He takes young women -- such as Jo Grant -- out of their own timelines, manipulates them, influences them, and leaves them behind again. The women are obviously brainwashed, believing that all aliens can just naturally speak English. In many cases, they never return home.

At the lecture hall, the little man on the podium looks at his audience and sees a young Andrea there. In the middle of her Librarian studies, she's going though phase of priming, and everything said to her in this period will stay imprinted in her mind forever. The little man throws out Professor Candy's lecture, tells the class that Professor Candy is sick, and instead gives a nice talk on the importance of lending library books to your friends.

A little man on a podium is preparing to give a lecture at a university. As the holograms of his audience appear one by one, he goes over the lecture one last time.

In the end, Andrea tells the Doctor and "Super Earrings" that she ''will not'' succumb to their plot. Yes, she's incredibly grateful to him for making her life worth living again, and for saving her daughter, and for everything. But she's been trained, as part of her Librarian studies, to resist him. The Doctor leaves her alone, seemingly defeated.
