One night 'near the beginning of that business with the Giant Robot', 
the Doctor took off in the TARDIS for a little ride; this led him into 
his original adventure with the Mordee and Xoanon. Afterwards, the 
TARDIS returned him to Earth within a few minutes of his departure, [so] 
no one ever knew that he'd been away.'
