Synopsis

The Sixth Doctor and Mel arrive Normandy, 1944, and before they know it, they find themselves stranded, slap-bang in the middle of the D-Day landings. The two travellers face no other choice to but to join the allied effort, but a darker force is lurking over them, someone the Doctor hasn’t seen since his early days on Gallifrey.
