- "Are you my mummy?"
- Following a canister falling through time leads the Ninth Doctor and Rose to war-torn London in 1941. Soon separated, the Doctor finds himself on the trail of a lost little boy who is causing a strange plague, while Rose is saved from an air-raid by the dashing Captain Jack Harkness, a time traveller from the 51st century!
- "You'll find your feet at the end of your legs. You may care to move them."
- Time is running out for the Ninth Doctor as he tries to solve the mystery of the gas mask-wearing little boy. As more and more people become infected by the alien plague, the Doctor locates the canister that's fallen through time — but will he find the answer to the boy's heart-wrenching plea: "Are you my mummy?"
