Summary Edit

Four drunk men get on the London Underground train around Christmas. One of them, Paul, begins acting strangely, as if he were sick. The Doctor and Jo get on the train, and the Doctor points a device at the various passengers. It detects that Paul is an alien, and the Doctor fights "Paul" while the lights flash on and off.
