The Doctor is tinkering with the time - space visualiser. To show off its capabilities, he treats the crew to a viewing of a speech from Abraham Lincoln. The audience now knows the capabilities of the machine. Surely it's time to move on?
So then they all stand around gaping at it for a few more minutes watching William Shakespeare muck about, all the while hooting about the wondrous capabilities of the machine. The audience now understands beyond a shadow of a doubt what the machine is capable of. Can we go now?
So then they all crowd round to watch stock footage of the Beatles for a bit.
It doesn't get much better from there: two people cosplaying as Ian and Vicki run around a sandpit, the Doctor gets some sun, and the time - space visualiser inexplicably shows the daleks talking about coming after the TARDIS. Without anyone changing the settings from the Beatles.
