[edit] Plot
In 1936 Brighton, strange lights and terrible sounds are coming from beneath the pier, and the dead are unusually ambulatory. The only hope is the Doctor, Evelyn and — Max Miller?

[edit] Notes
- One of the characters in this story is a young actor called Billy, who has just made a film called While Parents Sleep[1] and also starred in I'm an Explosive.[2] These 1930s films do exist, and contain an early appearance by a certain "Billy Hartnell", who would later play the First Doctor.
- At the beginning of the story, Evelyn suggests a trip to Blackpool, but the Doctor refuses because of what happened to him last time he visited that town. This may be a reference to the unmade Sixth Doctor serial The Nightmare Fair, which was to be the first serial in season 23 - the show went on hiatus for a year instead.
