Last week, viewers were treated to the first of a two-part adventure written by Coupling creator Steven Moffat. Set in London during the 1940s at the height of the Blitz, it featured the Doctor and Rose trying to protect the city's homeless from a spectral youngster, while the Army guarded a mysterious cylinder.

Here, a plague spreads like wildfire through the capital, just as the streets become overrun by a swarm of zombies. The time-travellers realise the only way they're ever going to get to save the world is by joining forces with intergalactic con-man Captain Jack.

Starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, with a guest appearances by Richard Wilson.
