Benton walked up to the Brigadier, holding an armful of mail. "Sir? Did the Doctor leave a forwarding address? The BFPO is still receiving his UNIT mail."

"Don't think so," the Brigadier said. "What is that?"

"Mostly scientific newsletters and equipment catalogues," Benton said, "but there's also... this." He held up a plastic-wrapped "Play-Thing" men's magazine.

"Good heavens," the Brigadier said. "Well, he was a bachelor, and it's not my place to judge. But that sort of magazine isn't for me. Do you want it, Benton?"

"No offense to the Doctor," Benton said nervously, "but I like my girls human."
