SUMMARY
The TARDIS materialises
in England, 1066, where The Doctor is horrified to find
that one of his own people, The Monk, is planning to wipe
out an invasion fleet of Vikings heading for the coast.
His actions would allow King Harold to wage the Battle of
Hastings with an army that hadn't been exhausted by their
battles with Vikings, thus potentially changing history.
The Doctor determines to put a stop to The Monk's
meddling ways.
