In the late [[summer]] of [[1066]], a Viking scouting party arrived to make way for [[Harald Hardrada]]'s invasion of England. [[The Monk]] planned to destroy the Viking [[longship]] [[fleet]] with an [[atomic cannon]] in order to prevent their landing, thus negating the reduction in [[Harold Godwinson]]'s force strength before the [[Battle of Hastings]] and preventing the [[Norman]] victory under [[William the Conqueror]]. The plan was foiled when [[Saxon]]s from [[Wulnoth's village]] ran the Monk and the Vikings out of the Monk's [[monastery]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Meddler (TV story)|The Time Meddler]]'') | |||
