[[The TARDIS]] materialises in [[Princes Street Gardens]] in [[Edinburgh]] in the [[19th century]] and [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]], [[Charlotte Pollard|Charley]] and [[Audacity Montague|Audacity]] learn from a [[newspaper]] of a series of inexplicable [[death]]s for which the season has been named the Winter of the Demon. The Doctor visits the [[mortuary]] and disagrees with [[Joe Coghill]]'s death being put down to [[electrocution]] rather than intense heat, believing that he might have disturbed something in the [[tunnel]]s beneath [[Calton Hill]] where he was installing cabling and found an ancient [[coin]]. | [[The TARDIS]] materialises in [[Princes Street Gardens]] in [[Edinburgh]] in the [[19th century]] and [[Eighth Doctor|the Doctor]], [[Charlotte Pollard|Charley]] and [[Audacity Montague|Audacity]] learn from a [[newspaper]] of a series of inexplicable [[death]]s for which the season has been named the Winter of the Demon.

Audacity meets [[Maggie MacKenzie]], an [[archaeologist]], and Charley manages to charm [[Donald Shaw|Sir Donald Shaw]] into allowing her and her friends to stay at the party despite them not having been invited. When the Doctor arrives at the party, he questions Sir Donald about the Edinburgh Power Corporation's connection to each of the deaths and decides to investigate Maggie's dig at [[Cramond]] where other [[Rome|Roman]] coins have been found. | ||
Whilst Charley and Archie look into Sir Donald's [[power station]], which runs despite not seeming to receive any consignments of [[coal]], the Doctor and Audacity meet with Maggie in Cramond and are shown a [[Lioness (Winter of the Demon)|lioness]]-shaped [[grave]] guardian dating back to the [[Roman Empire]]. The lioness previously held a golden [[crown]] which Sir Donald, who funds the dig, has confiscated and Maggie shows her [[sketch]]es of it to the Doctor, to whom the lioness seems familiar. | |||
