The Carnaval de Paris, 1841. Amid the sideshow tents, the Doctor and Charley discover something truly novel: an Ancient Egyptian mummy that speaks - despite being dead for more than 4,000 years!
But what the mummy has to say translates into terror for the TARDIS twosome... and proclaims doom for the entire world.
