C04S08 The faceless ones
Synopsis
1966, and the Doctor and his friends Ben, Polly and Jamie arrive at Gatwick airport. They quickly stumble upon an alien plot centring upon the mysterious 'Chameleon Tours' - a low-price holiday company, whose young passengers have been vanishing in unexplained circumstances.
With the help of Scotland Yard and the airport staff, the Doctor investigates further, but it isn't long before his own friends start disappearing too.
What is happening to the passengers of Chameleon Tours? There are the company's planes really going? Can the Doctor unravel the mystery of Chameleon Tours before it's too late?
