Amelia finds her self caught up in a adventure involving an escaped alien convict and the Atraxi who are in pursuit of it. And if the Doctor doesn't act soon the world will end in twenty minutes...but that won't happen for another twelves years! Written by Robert McElwaine

Still getting used to his surroundings, the new Doctor crashes on Earth severely damaging the Tardis. There he meets a young girl, Amelia Pond, who tells him she has a crack in her bedroom wall which he determines is actually a crack in space and time. The Doctor has to leaves for 5 minutes and as promised Amelia, returns - only it's 12 years later and Amelia, now known as Amy, is a young woman. When aliens known as the Artraxi begin broadcasting a message around the world, the Doctor realizes they are only 20 minutes away from the Earth being completely destroyed.
