Synopsis


The Doctor and Rose travel back in time to Forties London in the first part of an action adventure, written by Stephen Moffat.

It is 1941 and the Blitz is raging. A mysterious cylinder is being guarded by the Army, while homeless children, living on the bombsites, are being terrorised by an unearthly child. And when Rose meets the dashing Captain Jack Harkness, it seems she may have found a hero better than the Doctor himself...
