Late Night Shopping by Matt Fitton, narrated by Hugh Ross
The Doctor and Lucie Miller go on a Friday night shopping trip, where they encounter Miriam. Can a frying pan, olive oil, a side plate and an egg slice stop alien superweapons in the form of tomatoes? Or will supermarket manager Mr Smithson unintentionally aid the invasion by removing the long-haired stranger from his shop?

The Caves of Erith by Alice Cavender, narrated by Stephen Critchlow
The Doctor and Lucie decide to spend Christmas at a bed and breakfast in a quiet village, and discover there's an almost extinct variety of bats living nearby. What secret does the landlady's son Oscar hold?

Tuesday by Tony Jones, narrated by Stephen Critchlow
The Eighth Doctor encounters his old friend Harry Sullivan outside a London cafe, but the naval surgeon has no recollection of the time traveller. Nor does he realise that it's Christmas Day - he's reading the paper on the 25th of December 2001, as everyone goes about their business. So what has happened to Christmas?

An Ocean of Sawdust by Paul Starkey, narrated by Stephen Critchlow
The Doctor meets young Samuel, pretending that his bed is raft on the ocean, far away from land. But the bedroom floor shouldn't turn into a large wooden eel, should it? Why are paper birds flocking around? And why does Samuel have no memory of where he was before climbing onto his 'raft'? And what's the significance of the mobile hanging above the bed?
