Summary
Arriving in a Manchester street, the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond find the city has been evacuated. Tentacles are ripping up the streets. Hiding down the sewer as the wormlike tentacles lash about they manage to escape before being discovered by the military who have evacuated everyone from the area. Using his psychic paper to pass them off as ‘Pest Control, Ministry of Agriculture and Fish’, the Doctor and Amy are soon led to a tower block overridden by a giant worm-like creature. As the military prepare an air strike the Doctor senses something is wrong and repelling the tentacles with his sonic screwdriver Amy races with him to the creatures head on one of the top floors. The Doctor recognises the creature as an Alifabe (a race that lives in the matter-lining of hyperspace). The creature is unwell and has fallen to Earth. Its empathic nodule on its head has been bruised and the creature is unable to send a strong enough signal to be rescued. Amy is sent to turn all the satellite dishes on the tower block pointing upwards while the Doctor uses Manchester’s power to build history’s biggest interspatial telephone. The Alifabe is able to teleport home in just enough time for the air strike to be aborted and as the Alifabe leaves the sky is lit up with a dazzling array of colour.
