The Doctor signed up to get DVDs from a club. Martha is amazed to find out he watches DVD and TV. Friends from New Earth (Brannigan and Sister Hame) call the Doctor for help on a dvd, telling the Cybermen have kidnapped Valerie. It came from May 31st, 5thousand and 57. The message came from a year ago or so, so the Doctor goes back in time to help, saying "Alons-y". The Macra are being used as recycling and to get rid of pollution. The New Earth became noticed. The Cybermen are using non humans as food for the Macra. We see an angel robot, a Slitheen, a Wax Work Robot, and an Ood. The Judoon round up the humans and aliens for the Cybermen, who are all on their ship. Hame and Brannigan teleport onto the ship to fly it. They find Valerie is now a Cyberwoman or man or something. The Doctor uses the sonic screwdriver to make the roof of the motorway close on the Cybership. The Doctor and Martha leave with everything settled (?or was it?) and the Doctor puts a DVD on to watch for enjoyment. A woman is there calling for his help. This woman might be Valerie from before she was converted.
