London, 1983: an old house mysteriously burns to the ground. One hundred years earlier, the Doctor and Ace arrive at a sinister mansion in the rural hamlet of Perivale. Horrors old and new await the Doctor amongst the peculiar residents of Gabriel Chase… but it is Ace who must confront her own worst nightmares when she discovers that her past and the house’s future are inextricably linked. This is regarded as a marmite story, some love it others don't because it's quite odd and seemingly deliberately confusing. Basically an energy being called Light who surveys life everywhere for its catalogue, is asleep in a spaceship under the house. A Neanderthal man is serving in the house as a butler having evolved sufficiently to do so, and is in the service of Josiah Samuel Smith, a lifeform that Light uses to carry out the survey.
