A vast starship, seemingly deserted and spinning slowly
in the void of deep space. Martha and the Doctor
explore this drifting tomb, and discover that they may
not be alone after all...

Who survived the disaster that overcame the rest of the
crew? What continues to power the vessel? And why
has a stretch of wooded countryside suddenly appeared
in the middle of the craft?

As the Doctor and Martha journey through the forest,
they find a mysterious, fogbound village – a village
traumatised by missing children and prophecies of its
own destruction.

It is almost Halloween in the sleepy New England town of Blackwood Falls. Autumn leaves litter lawns and sidewalks, paper skeletons hang in windows, and carved pumpkins leer from stoops and front porches.

The Doctor and Martha soon discover that something long dormant has awoken in the town, and this will
be no ordinary Halloween. What is the secret of the
ancient tree and the mysterious book discovered
tangled in its roots? What rises from the local
churchyard in the dead of night, sealing up the lips of
the only witness? And why are the harmless trappings
of Halloween suddenly taking on a creepy new life of
their own?

As nightmarish creatures prowl the streets, the
Doctor and Martha must battle to prevent both the
townspeople and themselves from suffering a grisly
fate...

Tiermann's World: a planet covered in wintry woods
and roamed by sabre-toothed tigers and other
savage beasts. The Doctor is here to warn Professor
Tiermann, his wife and their son that a terrible danger
is on its way.

The Tiermanns live in luxury, in a fantastic, futuristic, fully automated Dreamhome, under an impenetrable
force shield. But that won't protect them from the
Voracious Craw. A gigantic and extremely hungry alien
creature is heading remorselessly towards their home.
When it gets there everything will be devoured.

Can they get away in time? With the force shield
cracking up, and the Dreamhome itself deciding who
should or should not leave, things are
looking desperate...

When the TARDIS makes a disastrous landing in the swamps of the planet Sunday, the Doctor has no choice
but to abandon Martha and try to find help. But the
tranquillity of Sunday's swamps is deceptive, and even
the TARDIS can't protect Martha forever.

The human pioneers of Sunday have their own dangers to face: homeless and alone, they're only just starting to realise that Sunday's wildlife isn't as harmless as it first seems. Why are the native otters behaving so strangely, and what is the creature in the swamps that is so interested in the humans, and the new arrivals?

The Doctor and Martha must fight to ensure that
human intelligence doesn't become the greatest danger
of all.

The old village well is just a curiosity – something to
attract tourists intrigued by stories of lost treasure, or
visitors just making a wish. Unless something alien and
terrifying could be lurking inside the well? Something
utterly monstrous that causes nothing but death and
destruction?

But who knows the real truth about the well? Who
wishes to unleash the hideous force it contains? What
terrible consequences will follow the search for a
legendary treasure hidden at the bottom?

No one wants to believe the Doctor's warnings
about the deadly horror lying in wait – but soon
they'll wish they had...

The peace and quiet of a remote homestead in the 1880s American West is shattered by the arrival of two shadowy outriders searching for 'the healer'. When the farmer refuses to help them, they raze the house to the ground using guns that shoot bolts of energy instead of bullets...

In the town of Redwater, the Doctor and Martha learn of a snake-oil salesman whose patent medicines
actually cure his patient. But when the Doctor and
Martha investigate they discover the truth is stranger,
and far more dangerous.

Caught between the law of the gun and the deadly
plans of intergalactic mercenaries, the Doctor and
Martha are about to discover just how wild the West
can become...
