   I was unavoidably unable to watch this episode when it aired, nor could   
   I arrange to record it for later viewing. I don't mind spoilers, and I'm   
   unwilling to wait for it to be re-run, so I viewed the description at   
   . It seems   
   fairly complete - but if so, there seems to be a gaping hole in the plot   
   (which is not exactly unusual :-( ). Possibly it's explained better in   
   the actual show?   
      
   The issue is this: there's a hypervolume of space-time, of unspecified   
   spatial and temporal extent, but including New York around 1938, which   
   the TARDIS cannot enter due to the density of time distortions. The   
   Doctor works around the problem by traveling to ancient China and   
   leaving a message on a vase which will eventually end up within that   
   hypervolume.   
   However, wouldn't it be simpler to take the TARDIS to say, Chicago in   
   1938, and then hop on a train to New York?
