Closing Time was the twelfth episode in the sixth series of Doctor Who.
Synopsis
In the last few days of his life, the Doctor pays a farewell visit to his old friend Craig, and encounters a mystery. People are going missing, a silver rat scuttles in the shadows of a department store, and somewhere close by the Cybermen are waiting…[1]
Plot
It starts in a department store, where a worker is checking the changing rooms for customers before they close. She hears something in one of the changing rooms and she finds a Cyberman in it, causing her to scream.
Meanwhile, Sophie exits Craig and her house, after making sure that Craig could cope with his son, Alfie. After she leaves, Craig hears a knock on the door and sees the Doctor standing on his doorstep. The Doctor says hello and then tries to leave, but sees the power flickering on Craig's road and he decides to stay.
When Craig meets the Doctor again the next day, he is working in a shop, searching for the cause of the electricity problems. He's noticed that people have been vanishing, and the Doctor's assumes that the electricity problems are to do with it. When the Doctor tries to get Craig and Alfie out of the shop via a lift, they accidently arrive in the Cyber-Ship, where a Cyberman stomps towards them.
