The Unquiet Dead

Original BBC Website: Episode 3

"Pity the Gelth."

In episode 1 Clive tells Rose that the Doctor has one constant companion: death. It's not a coincidence. If there is a line between saving the world and destroying it, that line is razor thin. Sometimes things go wrong. One of the ideas being conveyed in this series is that actions have consequences. Unintended consequences can be especially dire. Fortunately, in this episode, Charles Dickens is around to save the day.
