1The Doctor, Ben, Polly and Jamie land on a railway line in the middle of the night. They've not left the TARDIS two minutes before they're running from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milice the Milice]], the French equivalent of the Gestapo. You see, it's February 1944, and they've just landed in the middle of Occupied France! Now, with no TARDIS, and Polly and the Doctor separated from Ben and Jamie, how are they ever going to get away safely?
2
3Oh, and the British airman they're attempting to flee France with looks awfully familiar to Polly...
4
5The story is told by Anneke Wills as Polly and John Sackville as "the Pilot".
6
7! Tropes include:
8* FirstNameBasis: This was actually the first piece of performed ''Doctor Who'' to definitively state Polly's surname is "Wright".
9* HeroOfAnotherStory: Jamie and Ben are separated from the Doctor and Polly early on, but apparently got up to their own adventures (including [[GreatEscape starting a mass breakout]]) before they all meet up again on the Spanish border.
10* LaResistance: [[CaptainObvious Obviously]].
11* TheMole: There's a mole somewhere in the local Maquis, and they're planning to destroy the escape line to Spain.
12* RunForTheBorder: The Doctor, Polly and the Pilot are following an "escape line" to neutral Spain.
13* SpottingTheThread: Polly works out who the real spy on the escape line is [[spoiler: because her ''real'' Uncle Randolph knew he had a niece and the imposter doesn't.]]
