fast return switch

A button on the TARDIS console which enables the Ship to make a rapid move back to where it previously landed. The Doctor once used it to leave Skaro, hoping to get back to Earth and so return Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright home. However, the button became jammed down, resulting in the TARDIS hurtling back through space and time towards Event One which would have destroyed the craft and everyone in it. The TARDIS itself attempted to alert the occupants via various visual warnings. Eventually the Doctor released the button and saved his ship and occupants.
