Summary
Stopping off to pick up some milk in a supermarket - the milkmaid at a 9th century French farm having boils on her hands - the Doctor and Martha encounter a giant, rampaging. viking-like warrior called Thaur. Thaur is one of three warrior kings separated, banished and exiled from their homeworld of Norsum by Angboda.

After knocking him out with his sonic screwdriver to loosen the store's security orb from the ceiling, the tables are turned as Thaur, whom the Doctor and Martha fight with a shopping trolley. Martha snatches Thaur’s crystal necklace, a crystal of seeing and his only link with his homeworld.

Looking into the crystal the Doctor sees a fleet of war-craft being built. Thaur says they will crush a hundred worlds. As the police and the riot squads arrive to pacify them with smoking bombs, the Doctor decides to take Thaur aboard the TARDIS. Before they leave, with Thaur determined to rescue his warrior brothers before attacking Norsum, the Doctor collects his milk, leaving the money in a little bag with a note of thanks with the police.
