Tilly and Nat didn't like the idea. They argued. This will take time: Tilly: And why are we fighting crime instead of at least having adventures investigating other time-related anomalies? Nat: Because that’s all people on TV ever do? Tilly: Well, that doesn’t make sense. You could do something about astronomy instead. Nat: No, I think Patrick Moore has that covered. Tilly: Well, that takes the cake. Do we need to fetch DS Reynolds so we have someone who knows about crime? Nat: Maybe the Colonel would want to be one of those amateur detectives? He’s retired; he’s got the time on his hands. Tilly: Somehow, I don’t think so… Nat: No, worse luck. I’m not even much good at alien dissection, so I’m not the right sort of scientist for this. I’m not doing autopsies. Tilly: I should think not. Nat: And, what murders are we supposed to solve? The last episode of the series would mean me going after what happened to my Dad and it couldn’t be just falling into the river in this sort of thing. I’d rather not do that, either. Tilly: Maybe they’ll be historical murders. Nat: I’m not doing any grave robbing. And they’d be better off with a historian, or at least a palaeontologist for that. We could ask Professor Colby.
