 * Tooth and Claw
 * "And so begins the empire of the wolf!"
 * The Doctor and Rose bump into Queen Victoria when she is passing through Scotland. A tree across the line has stopped the royal train so she must stay at Sir Robert MacLeish's house. But he has uninvited guests, and one in particular will make for a terrifying evening when the Moon is full!

Notable information

 * Effects company The Mill, who created the werewolf, also worked on the werewolf that appeared in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
 * "Ice Warrior" is the human nickname for the Martians. No one knows what they call themselves!
 * Although one Robot Spider prop was made, the moving ones are all CG!
