Late [[1939]]. [[Britain]] faces the might of [[Germany]]. [[Winston Churchill]] serves as [[First Lord of the Admiralty]]. But Churchill soon finds himself facing a more immediate threat than the looming [[Nazi]] menace. A "[[Augur's Stone|Stone]]" with the most mysterious properties is discovered in the [[Thames]]' sands, and soon oddly spoken soldiers are creeping round [[London]] ruthlessly trying to acquire it. Who are they? Can Churchill and his new [[secretary]] [[Hetty Warner]] defeat them? And what about [[Ninth Doctor|the man]] in the battered [[leather jacket]] that Hetty meets? Churchill feels sure they can rely on the Doctor to help them! Except that this Doctor seems to want to stay hidden in the shadows... | Late [[1939]]. [[Britain]] faces the might of [[Germany]].
