A call from Ace brings the Doctor and Mags to early 1990s London, where Australian freelance handyman Rufus confides his discovery of a bipedal bat-like creature, imprisoned beneath a remote mansion. That night, infiltration reveals a meeting of the aristocratic Feratu, whose annual ritual depends on their otherworldly prisoner, who, freed by Mags, is then sought by an affiliated, rather more sinister, organisation...

Added DiffLines:

*AwesomeAussie: Rufus’s robust capability has [[spoiler: surprisingly dark]] depths, having [[spoiler: painfully desensitized his vampiric body]] on [[spoiler: centuries’ earlier exile to the prevalent Australian sun]].
*BakerStreetRegular: The fringe social circles of Camden know of the Doctor by reputation, and may be able to shed some light on a dispute between vampiric clans.
*BizarreAlienSenses: [[spoiler: Rufus]] finds the Doctor by a “chemical tracker” installed in the bloodstream via soda water.
*BookcasePassage: A stately property acquired by the Doctor has a fireplace variant, installed by Robert Smithson.
*CallForward: Rufus identifies Ace by a faint aura identified as residual Artron Energy, “[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek the sweet smell of TARDIS travel]]”.
** A spare TARDIS key is kept in the cubbyyhole above the “p”.
*CelebrityParadox:
--> '''The Doctor:''' I used to know [[Creator/SylvesterMcCoy a person who put ferrets down his trousers]]...
*CloudCuckoolander: Rufus’s initial impression of the Doctor.
*ContinuityNod: Several to Recap/DoctorWhoS18E4StateOfDecay.
*DayLightHorror: In a pre-filmed post-broadcast announcement, two friendly soap stars become snarling, ravenous vampires.
*EmpathicShapeshifter: The Sin Eater may adopt the form of those with whom she comes into contact. The Feratu use her to [[spoiler: suppress their vampiric tendencies]].
*{{Expy}}: ''Verona Springs'', product of a station owned by [[spoiler: Rufus]], evokes ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' and ''Series/HomeAndAway''. The Sin Eater, having adopted the form of Mags, [[AddictiveForeignSoapOpera quickly takes to it]].
*InnocentBigot: Ace inadvertently equates Mags’s ordeal on Segonax with animal rights concerns, but quickly apologises when Mags gently corrects her.
*HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Rufus]] is “somewhere on the vampiric spectrum”.
*LooksLikeOrlock: The ancient, extensive Ferat family, who once a year “revert to type,” are said to resemble humanoid bats.
*ShapeshifterIdentityCrisis: When disguised as Mags, the Sin Eater despairs on revelation of her true identity.
*ShoutOut: Ace follows [[Series/{{Brookside}} Brookie]]. Wonder [[CelebrityParadox who’s eventually going to play Tinhead]]…
**A pub called the Film/TheWorldsEnd.
** The Feratu fondly reminisce of Creator/ChristopherLee.
** To Creator/BelaLugosi
** Quite a few more.
*SuperpowerfulGenetics: Over the centuries, the Feratu passed “Genetic Markers” into humanity, which, on exposure via[[spoiler: Rufus’s]] Hexicone Receivers to Gamma 2 5 radiation, will mutate much of the UK and Australia into vampires.
*TechnologyUplift: Hexicone Receiver satellite dishes, installed by [[spoiler: Rufus’s]] Gamma 2 5 television station, convert terrestrial background radiation into Gamma 2 5 radiation.
*TheVirus: Vampirism, characterised as such, is reversible, to [[spoiler: Ace’s]] relief.
