Summary
The Doctor returns to Earth, only to find that there is no Earth! There is only a white void with a small old house being defended by a pensioner called Bob Manning. The house is under attack from dragon-like creatures. Bob is defending his home, he believes from developers who want him out and has armed himself with a broom to beat them off. The Doctor communicates with a shapeless entity outside who identifies himself as Absence. Absence wants to wipe this world so it is clean and free. When the Doctor guesses that there is something in the house protecting it, Bob suggests it could be the unexploded bomb someone had said they found. As they head down to the cellar Absence’s creatures break through in pursuit. Reaching the cellar the Doctor and Bob cover their ears at the scream of “Intruders!” …
