Derivation

History is what you remember, but just who is doing the remembering?

The Doctor thought the timeline would be restored after Shakespeare was saved, but there are new questions that complicate that assumption. Who is playing Uptown Funk in 1985? Why are the Rutans so interested in his companion? Where did he put that special phone to UNIT? And, of course, why exactly does this all appear to tie back to Sarah Jane Smith?

Meanwhile, it’s just another day on Bannerman Road, until Sarah Jane receives a postcard that dredges up a past that she’s long kept away from her young friends. Luke would be just as curious as Clyde and Rani to discover the truth of what happened in 2002, but he’s a little preoccupied by what currently is… that wasn’t always.

Something is changing the past, but it’s not always easy to figure out who has the correct present.
