==Summary== | == Summary == | ||
[[Eighth | The [[Eighth Doctor]] and his friends, [[Ssard]] and [[Stacy Townsend]], arrive in [[Victorian]] [[London]], where they discover a [[spaceship]] which is [[Invisibility|invisible]] to the people of the time. They meet the ship's occupant, [[P'fer'd]], an [[Equinoid]]. P'fer'd tells the Doctor his wife [[M'rek'd]] is missing. Stacy and some street urchins rescue M'rek'd from a freak show. However, the owner of the freak show is not himself human, but a shape-shifting alien; Stacy and the urchins are attacked. P'fer'd is re-united with M'rek'd and the Doctor and Ssard with Stacy... apparently. | ||
