SUMMARY
The Doctor tells Rose about the village of Lower Downham in England, which disappeared in 1962 due to mysterious circumstances. They agree to find out what happened, and travel to a point sometime before the village disappeared. The village is full of people and does not appear to be anything out of the ordinary. They then travel to the future, soon after the village has disappeared. They notice that the area is in total darkness, and the map of the village seems to have developed a large fold in the centre, causing the print to seemingly spill into it. They explore the area, but do not find the village or any proof that it was ever there.
They then travel to the day the village disappeared at 3 o'clock in the morning. Rose is teleported to an open field, whilst the Doctor encounters a glowing humanoid figure. The figure eventually forms into a Viyran. While the Doctor tries to communicate with it, Rose comes across a floating glass coffin, hovering about ten feet above the ground. She later sees a bright white light, and runs towards it, to find the Doctor surrounded by Viyrans. They learn that the Viyrans followed a single particle from a dangerous chemical weapon to Earth, and were forced to neutralise it before it destroyed the minds of everyone on the planet. The Viyrans realised that they could not totally destroy the particle, and so decided to evacuate the population of the village to somewhere else and wipe their memories of the village. They would then place a perceptual barrier across the entire village, making it seemingly disappear.
The Viyrans then put the Doctor and Rose into coffins because they are getting in the way of their plan. They escape from the coffins and leave in the TARDIS , and the village is successfully evacuated.
