The Battle of Giant’s Causeway

The war between the Sontarans and the Rutans has been going on for milennia. And is likely to continue for millenia more.

A terrible conflict with no care for comsequences or collateral damage. Billions have died with no end in sight. Its reach can encompass ancient Ireland and a forest world far in the future.

Tick tock.

Scene of the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations. Scene also of a plot to un-seat the government, de-throne the monarch and start a republic. If the Duke of Wellington himself is to be believed…

While the Doctor and Charley are drawn into the murky world of nineteenth-century politics, C’rizz struggles to maintain his dignity against growing odds. What begins as an attempt to prevent murder quickly becomes a desperate race to avert revolution. Separated from the TARDIS, the travellers are left to wonder if they’ll get their own lives back or be forever entangled with the lives of others.

And who is Mrs Georgina Marlow? What need does she feel the Doctor can satisfy?
