Line 5:
The Doctor tries to take Rose to Naples, 1860. The TARDIS disagrees, and instead takes them to Cardiff, Christmas 1869.
 
[[Charles Dickens]] is in town, prompting an outbreak of earnest [[Fan Boy|fanboyishness]] from the usually sardonic Ninth Doctor. The squee doesn't last -- the dead are walking, so the Doctor springs into action. It turns out that there's a ''massive'' space/time rift right in the middle of Cardiff. This will [[Torchwood|become important later]]. A young psychic maid named Gwyneth ([[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S4 /E13 Journeys End|identical relative]] of one [[Torchwood/Characters|Gwen Cooper]]) can guide things through the rift.
 
Dragging the very skeptical Dickens along, he organises a seance and negotiates with the aliens. If he helps them through the Cardiff Rift, they can temporarily occupy some corpses until he finds them a better home. Rose is [[Squick|Squicked]], but the Doctor [[Can't Argue with Elves|isn't in the mood to listen to some silly little human and coddle her delicate sensibilities.]]
Line 39:
* [[Temporal Paradox]]: Rose ''thinks'' that this means the Gelth can't kill her in 1869, since she's still living in 2005. As the Doctor explains, however, a paradox only prevents you from killing your past self -- it's 100% possible for your '''present''' self to travel to a different time zone and get killed there,
* [[Victorian Britain]]: Cardiff, 1869.
* [[You Look Familiar]]: The voice of the main Gelth sounds an awful lot like the [[Doctor Who/NS/Recap/NS/S3 /E12 The Sound of Drums|Toclafane, and has a similar fear]] {{spoiler|well, they both say that's what they're running from.}}
