Synopsis

The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arrive on an unnamed planet. At first believing themselves in the midst of World War I, they realise it to be one of many War Zones overseen by the War Lords, who have kidnapped large numbers of human soldiers to form the greatest army the universe has ever seen.

The creeping realisation sets in that the Doctor cannot solve this problem alone, and that his days of wandering may be at an end...
