The TARDIS takes The Doctor and Amy to war-torn Britain in the middle of
World War Two. Not only do they meet Winston Churchill himself, but the
Doctor comes face to face once again with his greatest enemy of all.
The Doctor and Amy emerge from the TARDIS to find the wreck of the
Byzantium spaceship. Down below the Weeping Angels are stirring, but the
Doctor has someone else to contend with; none other than the mysterious
Professor River Song.
The Doctor, Amy, Dr. Song and the remaining soldiers manage to escape
from the crashed ship and into the forest. The Angels attempt to create a
rift in time and space much as the Doctor had found in Amy's room when
they first met. Amy meanwhile is counting down from 10 minutes and the
Doctor has determined that an Angel has taken over her mind.
Five years after finally leaving the TARDIS Amy and Rory now married,
live in the quiet little village of Leadworth. But everything is not
what it would seem.
The Doctor tries to get everyone to Rio, but nothing quite goes as
planned. They arrive in a small Welsh village where the Doctor
immediately senses that the ground isn't quite right. There is a
drilling rig nearby that has reached a depth of 21 kilometers when odd
things begin to happen. A local village man has disappeared and soon
after Amy is swallowed into the ground. The Doctor realizes that the
drilling has disturbed an ancient reptilian race that has lived deep
underground for thousands upon thousands of years and who are determined
to protect themselves ...
The Doctor and Nasreen Chaudry go deep underground and find an ancient
society that has been disturbed by the drilling. They are gassed and
taken prisoner just as Amy manages to free herself. The military
commander of the underground reptilians, Restac, is convinced that the
"apes' - their term for humans - are an invading force. Calmer heads
prevail and the Doctor manages to negotiate a truce pending the transfer
of prisoners which he, and some of the more pacifist members of the
reptilians, hopes will lead to a lasting peace. The only problem is that
Alaya, the ...
Visiting a museum, the Doctor and Amy are especially excited with the
gallery for Vincent van Gogh. Many of van Gogh pieces are displayed,
including "The Church at Auvers (1890)". However there is something
irregular discovered on the painting - a small alien image within a
window pane. The Doctor quickly takes Amy back to 1890 where they locate
the troubled artist that upsets the locals, cannot pay his bills, and
is able to see an invisible monster that no one else is able to see.
No sooner does the TARDIS land on Earth that it leaves again - but
without the Doctor who had just stepped outside. The Doctor soon finds
himself at the home of Craig Owens, who has been advertising for a
lodger. There's clearly something odd in the house with people being
lured to the upstairs room, but never reappearing. The Doctor is having a
good time of it and is having a bit of fun; he proves to be a rather
good football player. Craig the landlord is very much in love with
Sophie but can't quite bring himself to tell her. The Doctor tries to
help them out. But ...
