When Starlight Grows Cold ( short story ) Summary . The TARDIS materialises in nothingness . It is pitch black in every direction , according to the scanner . The Doctor at first waxes lyrical about where they are , before finally telling Ben and Polly that they are actually in the vast , empty space between galaxies . He sends out some probes to check for any biological life - forms nearby , not really believing he ' ll possibly find any . Excited by being in such an unusual location , the Doctor entreats Ben to join him for a bit of a space walk . They exit the TARDIS in space suits , leaving Polly behind in the console room to monitor the readings from the probe . While the boys perform their extra - vehicular activity , Polly shouts down an intercom that the probes are beginning to transmit signs of nearby life . The Doctor guffaws at the very idea , providing a series of objections to every claim Polly is making . Ben finally tells the Doctor to turn around , so that he can see the big , white sphere behind them . Ecstatic at the discovery , he tells Polly that he and Ben are going inside to investigate . Polly strongly protests , telling the Doctor that if he dies , there ' ll be no one left to pilot the TARDIS home . The Doctor flippantly tells her that this is the perfect time for her to learn how to fly the TARDIS , then . Ben essentially concurs , telling Polly to " stop snivelling " . The two space walkers enter the sphere . They discover that it ' s housing massive life - forms that are apparently in suspended animation in huge cocoons . The Doctor is absolutely transfixed at the uniqueness of this life - form and the improbability of their incredibly long journey . The cocoons begin to open , and Polly and Ben fill the intercoms with worried chatter . The Doctor , though , is lost in his thoughts about this new species , and cannot understand the gravity of his situation . He is only gradually aware that he is somehow back in his TARDIS . When he chides Polly for bringing the TARDIS to their location and interrupting his studies , Ben steps in to defend her . The aliens were far too massive for them to defend against , should they turn aggressive . The Doctor can ' t object , so his anger with Polly fades . Indeed , it turns into admiration because she ' s managed to do something he ' s never done before : make the TARDIS perform a short hop in space . When he asks her how she did it , she reminds him that he told her it was time she learned to fly the TARDIS . When he presses further , she admits that she got lucky and can ' t show him how she did it . References . " to be added " Continuity . " to be added "
