@nautilee national transfers take 2 hours, international ones take literal days, so even if you had money it wouldn't help

@nautilee but it's 10pm, all the banks are closed

"Your debit account has been overdrawn by $15! You will be subject to fees if you don't fix this before modif midnight"

Firstly, how do you expect me to pay a fee if I didn't have any money in the first place.

But secondly, how the heck am I supposed to get that money in before then???

The Ambassador's of Death is really a good example of why you shouldn't make a story that long – for example, there's a whole plotline where, after Liz is captured, she attempts an escape, only to be caught and re-captured just before she can get back to the Doctor.

And the story spends at least 5 minutes on these scenes, which do not progress the story at all – the situation at the end of the scenes is exactly the same as what it was at the start.
