Over the weekend, the Daleks continue their relentless pursuit of the Doctor. The TARDIS, in an attempt to show its contempt for this chase, lures the Daleks into an out of control funhouse and onto a planet where the plant life likes to eat people and Daleks. Of course, the TARDIS appears unaware that the same tricks that could kill the Daleks could also kill the Doctor and company. The rest of the week is spent by the coast of England in the Summer of 1066. It's the eerie calm before King Harold must fact both a Viking invasion and a French invasion almost simultaneously. England will be rocked to its very core. And someone with too much knowledge of the future wants to shake England even more.
