The Awakening
The year is 1984. The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough arrive in Little Hodcombe, a small English village, looking forward to spending some time with Tegan's grandfather. They soon discover that all is not well - Tegan's grandfather is missing and the locals are re-enacting English Civil War battles from 1643.
With the past mixed up with the present, can the Doctor stop the games before an evil entity hidden in the village church awakens?
2 Episodes:
The sleepy English village of Little Hodcombe, 1984. The village re-enactment of the English Civil War is in full swing, but a malign alien presence intends the mock-battles to be rather more realistic than planned...
The Malus, an alien that's purely evil, needs the civil war re-enactments to become authentic so it can feed off the psychic energy of dying and embattled men and fully revive. Not if the Doctor can derail things, of course.
