SS1. The Shadow Of The Scourge

Writer: Paul Cornell
Director: Gary Russell
Producers: Jason Haigh-Ellery, Gary Russell, Jacqueline Rayner
Music: Alistair Lock
Recorded: 29th - 30th July 2000

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there is injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do.

Synopsis

The Pinehill Crest Hotel in Kent is host to three very different events: a cross-stitch convention, an experiment in time travel and... the summoning of the scourge.

The Doctor, Bernice and Ace find themselves dealing with a dead body that's come back to life, a mystical symbol that possesses its host, and a threat from another universe that's ready for every trick the Doctor's got up his sleeve.

This time, has the Doctor gone too far?
