In 1913, John Smith is teaching at a boys’ school and falls in love with matron Joan Redfern (Jessica Hynes). Only his maid Martha knows that Smith is the Doctor, hiding as a human to evade remorseless aliens. Using animated scarecrows, the Family of Blood to sniff out the Time Lord, as war comes to England one year early. An elegiac, profoundly moving script and an emotional tour de force from David Tennant.
