TEXT: A recap of 1x04 "Aliens of London". INT. 10 DOWNING STREET, CONFERENCE ROOM With a huge effort, the Doctor manages to shake the electricity from his body. Sweating, he staggers to his feet with it held in his hand. THE DOCTOR: Deadly to humans, maybe. He plunges it into the chest of the Slitheen. Both Joseph and the Slitheen howl with pain. OPENING CREDITS INT. 10 DOWNING STREET, CABINET ROOM Margaret, also covered in the electricity, drops Indra's body from the wall. INT. TYLER'S FLAT, KITCHEN In the kitchen, the Slitheen who was attacking Jackie is also suffering. INT. 10 DOWNING STREET, CONFERENCE ROOM The Doctor dashes to the door, past the bodies. INT. 10 DOWNING STREET, CABINET ROOM Rose grabs Harriet's hand and they run from the room, Harriet whimpering slightly, Rose just looking terrified. INT. TYLER'S FLAT, KITCHEN Jackie is still crouched on the floor in horror, watching the alien screeching in pain. Mickey appears in the doorway. MICKEY: Jackie! He whacks the Slitheen over the head with a chair, grabs Jackie's arms and pulls her out of the kitchen. He pauses in the doorway to take his phone out of his pocket and snap a picture of the Slitheen. He grins, and then runs to join Jackie. INT. 10 DOWNING STREET, RECEPTION The Doctor finds security all gathered in reception. THE DOCTOR: Oi! You want aliens, you've got them. They're inside Downing Street. (Claps his hands). Come on! He leads them in the direction of the conference room, their guns at the ready. INT. 10 DOWNING STREET, CONFERENCE ROOM Joseph finally manages to deactivate the weapon, and the electricity disappears. He picks up the skin suit of General Asquith. S
SUMMARY:
The Doctor learns that the Slitheen are not invading Earth, but rather raiding it for commercial profit. The Slitheen claim there is a threat to national security and request that the United Nations release the nuclear activation code, so they can strike down a dangerous ship hovering over London. The Doctor speculates they will fire at other countries and start World War III , which the Slitheen respond in the affirmative, explaining that they will sell the irradiated remains of Earth as cheap spaceship fuel. Meanwhile, another Slitheen breaks into Mickey's flat where the acetic acid in vinegar is used to destroy it. The Doctor helps Mickey to fire a non-nuclear missile at 10 Downing Street to destroy the Slitheen gathered there. The Doctor, Rose, and MP Harriet Jones manage to hide in a reinforced room and survive. Meanwhile, the Doctor has earned Jackie's trust and she allows Rose to continue travelling with him.
