Plot
The Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive in Europa, a reconstructed amalgamation of 16th, 17th and 18th century Europe a thousand years in the future. Here, all sorts of historical personalities collide: for example, Lord Byron battles Torquemada's Inquisition while Mary Shelley is writing a sequel to Frankenstein. The newcomers are then accused of murdering the Pope, and to clear their innocence, helped only by a young vampire hunter and Byron, they must face the terrifying Theatre of Transmogrification.

gollark: I think this is a bad idea with problems.
gollark: It's not impossible to *compute*. There are other problems.
gollark: Not on the level of juggling millions of types of goods and millions of people.
gollark: Yes, but that's smaller and easier to handle.
