(Eyes them). Adam has to hold on to the railings for support as he makes his way to her side. Adam shakes his head. All the screens suddenly explode with sparks, and the Drones fall lifeless to the floor. And you have infinite knowledge, Doctor. CONTROL ROOM
The Doctor and Rose find themselves in the Editor's room, where he is watching the screens. Definitely a space station. FLOOR 500, CORRIDOR
The Doctor and Rose run across Floor 500 hand in hand, avoiding the huge lumps of snow falling from the ceiling. He flops back in his seat. It's merely a place where humans happen to live. Massive heat in a massive body. Rose and Adam look at him. SUBURBAN HOUSE, MANCHESTER
ADAM (through answering machine): Me again. So, um... judging by the architecture, I'd say we're around the year 200 000. Something fictional. THE EDITOR: It may interest you to know that this is not the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. The Doctor and Cathica are sitting at a table in the canteen area, Rose leaning on the bar behind them. The Doctor takes the key off him, and grabs Adam, and unlocks the door of the TARDIS. The Doctor, Rose and Adam look around. The Human Race should accelerate. The Jagrafess roars angrily. The Jagrafess roars. The answering machine comes on. Which one? You broadcast the news.

Summary: The Doctor, Rose, and Adam travel to the year 200,000 and land on the space station Satellite 5, which controls journalism. Ever since the satellite began broadcasting, something has held the human race's attitude and technology back. The Editor invites the Doctor and Rose to the elite Floor 500, where he holds them captive, explaining that he and a creature known as the Jagrafess have made, through Satellite 5, the "Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire" a place where the news has installed fear in the human race, keeping them in a closed society. Meanwhile, Adam has installed a port in his head and is transmitting all the knowledge on Satellite 5 to his parents' answering machine at home. The journalist Cathica redirects the heat to Floor 500, allowing Rose and the Doctor to escape, while the Editor and the Jagrafess are destroyed by the heat. The Doctor is furious at Adam and returns him to his house, destroying the answering machine and banishing Adam from the TARDIS.
