We start in 1955 Max a Radio show host is following a women alone home not to do anything bad but to make sure she gets home safe as his audience are being killed. He looses her however and she is later found dead.

The Doctor tries to fix the Tardis with Susan trying to leave totters lane for a while and they fly it ending up in London 1955 not there goal at all. Meeting Max Wheeler who then goes on to tell the doctor about his worries about the audience going missing presumed murdered. Susan is very well written very much like a weird teenager trying to get used to 1960s Britian.

The Doctor starts to connect local deaths and the audience being missing as the same and wondering if the hum in the BBC studio might be linked. deciding to stay and help Susan and 1st decide to watch the show and keep an eye on the audience from there. Max also tells the Doctor about the Shakers, an alien race some people made a deal with during WW2 to win the war. They ended up being unneeded and forgotten about. Of course they are behind all this not knowing the war is over, this then leads to a quick trap for the Shakers saving the day.

The story ends with the Doctor and Susan travelling back too 1963 Totters Lane by accident out of all of the places to end up.

I found this story quite dull unfortunately it took a while to get into. It was there for harder to make notes on then usual because of that too. I feel I also just didn't really enjoy reading it either unfortunately
