The Power of Three was the fourth episode of the seventh series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales.

Synopsis

There have been many ways to invade the Earth, and the Doctor has seen them all – or so he always thought. And then the human race wakes up one morning and discovers the world has been overrun by… small black cubes. Which then proceed to… do nothing at all. A plan is afoot, humanity is endangered – but by what and how and, above all, when?

For the first time in his world-saving career the Doctor has to call upon one of the least of his virtues: patience. And the Ponds face something possibly more terrifying than any world-ending apocalypse: the Doctor is moving in!
