Synopsis 
Edit
"We have been colonising other planets for a thousand million years..."
Two years have passed since the Nestene creature vanished from UNIT's top secret Warehouse...
Suddenly and without warning the Nestene strikes, once again using Autons as its deadly foot soldiers. As mysterious UNIT operative Lockwood struggles to unearth the Nestene plan, he finds himself drawn to remote Sentinel Island. There, the population have been caught up in a bizarre frenzy of religious activity.
Lockwood is joined by Natasha Alexander, a new scientific advisor with her own, sinister agenda. To defeat the Nestene menace, they must face the terrifying power of a creature from before the dawn of Mankind...

Story notes Edit
- This story features some impressive CGI work of the Nestene Consciousness.
- Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart's call sign, Greyhound Leader, previously used by Lockwood in Auton, is used here by Colonel Wilson.
- The transportation docket bearing Lockwood's signature, as shown to Lockwood and Dr Sally Arnold by Colonel Wilson, bears the line 'Operative 8954B, Codename Lockwood' – indicating that Lockwood is actually a codename for the UNIT operative, and not his real name after all.
