You might think that Barbara was in an impossible situation, but while El Aqir praised his guards,

00:07.000 --> 00:14.000
she managed to escape and hid in the palace Hyrene. I had a more serious problem. Thinking

00:14.000 --> 00:20.000
I was a rich merchant, my Arab captor Ibrahim had pegged me out on the sand, hoping to find

00:20.000 --> 00:27.000
out where I'd hidden my gold. By way of persuasion, he poured honey onto my t-shirt.

00:27.000 --> 00:35.000
By persuasion, he poured honey onto my chest and wrists and made a trail to a nearby ant's nest.

00:35.000 --> 00:41.000
I told him my gold was in my boots, so he had to untie my legs. That's when I surprised him

00:41.000 --> 00:46.000
and forced him to be my escort to Lydda, where Barbara was being held prisoner.

00:46.000 --> 00:54.000
El Aqir did discover Barbara in the Hyrene, but he was killed by the father of one of his wives.

00:54.000 --> 01:01.000
With Ibrahim's help, we stole some horses and made our escape. In all our adventures,

01:01.000 --> 01:07.000
the TARDIS was home. That's where we end for. When we arrived, we found the Doctor in a bit

01:07.000 --> 01:12.000
of trouble of his own. The Earl of Leicester was convinced he was a spy and had followed him

01:12.000 --> 01:19.000
from Jaffa. He was on the point of dispatching him, but I begged permission to do the deed myself,

01:19.000 --> 01:27.000
claiming he had caused the deaths of my brothers-in-arms. He agreed, and as he turned away,

01:27.000 --> 01:35.000
we slipped into the TARDIS. We laughed about it afterwards as the Doctor operated the controls,

01:35.000 --> 01:49.000
and I sat back in his favourite armchair, on course for another adventure. But that is another story.
