 * The Doctor, Rose and Mickey find themselves stranded in a parallel universe when the TARDIS dies. There they discover a very different London: not only is Rose’s father still alive, but he’s successful; the sky is full of airships; and an insane scientist is preparing to turn everyone in the world into Cybermen …


 * The Age of Steel
 * “We think of the humans. They suffer in the skin."
 * John Lumic’s Ultimate Upgrade Project has entered its final phase and the people of London are being transformed into unfeeling metal monsters.
