Rose and the Doctor find themselves in London, in 1941 at the height of the Blitz. A mysterious cylinder is being guarded by the army, while homeless children, living on the bomb sites, are being terrorised by an unearthly child. When Rose meets the dashing Captain Jack Harkness, she wonders if she has found a hero better than the Doctor himself.

The Child's plague is spreading throughout wartime London, and its zombie army is on the march. The Doctor and Rose form an alliance with the intergalactic con-man, Captain Jack, but find themselves trapped in the abandoned hospital. The answer lies at the bomb site, but time is running out.

A bride-to-be refuses to marry until the ghost of her father is laid to rest, and villagers are puzzled when a strange policeman starts laying down the law.
