In the funeral parlour of [[Sneed and Company]] in the [[Victorian]] era, [[Redpath|Mr Redpath]] grieves over the open casket holding his dead grandmother, [[Peace (The Unquiet Dead)|Mrs Peace]]. Closing his eyes in sorrow, he does not see a blue, glowing vapour wash over the corpse and enter it. Mrs Peace's eyes snap open and she grabs Redpath by the throat, strangling him to death. [[Gabriel Sneed]], the undertaker, rushes in and tries to close the lid on the reanimated corpse but she knocks him unconscious to the floor, then gets up and wanders onto the street, wailing. | In the funeral parlour of [[Sneed and Company]] in the [[Victorian]] era, [[Redpath|Mr Redpath]] grieves over the open casket holding his dead grandmother, [[Peace (The Unquiet Dead)|Mrs Peace]].

Sometime later, [[Gwyneth (The Unquiet Dead)|Gwyneth]], Sneed's servant girl, returns from looking after the carriage horses in the stables to find Sneed recovering from the cadaver's attack. This is not the first time there have been [[zombie]] incidents in the funeral home, and Gwyneth tells Sneed they need to get help. Sneed protests that it is not his fault and that they have to get Mrs Peace back before she does any damage. In the hearse, Sneed orders Gwyneth to use her [[clairvoyance|clairvoyant]] abilities to seek out the dead woman, and Gwyneth focuses on the old woman's last desire: to see [[Charles Dickens]], who is giving a reading in a music hall in town at [[Taliesin Lodge]]. Dickens himself is in a melancholic mood as he waits for his stage call. He feels old, is estranged from his family and his imagination is growing thin. He feels he has seen all there is to see. | Sometime later, [[Gwyneth (The Unquiet Dead)|Gwyneth]], Sneed's young servant girl, returns from looking after the carriage horses in the stables to find Sneed recovering from the cadaver's attack.

In [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Rose Tyler]] are having a rough ride. As the ship shakes and they hold onto the console, the Doctor aims the TARDIS for [[Naples]] in [[1860]]. When they land, Rose is about to rush out when the Doctor tells her that she would start a riot in her [[21st century]] clothing. Rose returns in more suitable attire: an off-the-shoulder gown. The Doctor admires her beauty, "considering" that she's [[human]]. They step into the [[snow]]-covered streets of history. The Doctor realises when he buys a [[newspaper]] that his aim was a bit off — it's [[Christmas Eve]] [[1869]], and they aren't in Naples — they're in [[Cardiff]]. | In [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], the [[Ninth Doctor]] and [[Rose Tyler]] are having a rough ride.
