(With some force). BISHOP: The nation has an imagine to maintain. Business as usual. CONNOLLY'S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM
In the Connolly's house, crowds cheer on the television and we see the family watching the TV and more black-and-white footage of the coronation. Coronation Day... Have to watch out for that!

Summary: The Doctor and Rose land in Muswell Hill , London in 1953 on the day before Queen Elizabeth II 's coronation . The Doctor befriends teenager Tommy Connolly, whose grandmother is hidden because she lacks any facial features and has no brain activity, a phenomenon that is common with those who have purchased television sets sold cheap for the coronation from Magpie Electricals, owned by Mr Magpie . Rose, investigating the shop, finds that Mr Magpie is under the influence of an entity known as " the Wire ", a refugee who has converted herself to an electrical form and is using the televisions and hopefully the upcoming coronation to consume enough minds to rebuild its body; she takes Rose's face as well. In discovery of this the Doctor is outraged and foils the Wire's plan with a device he creates, and those whose minds and faces were consumed are returned and London can safely watch the coronation.
