a Time Flies Travel Company (TFTC) geocache
Tooth and Claw
"Tooth and Claw" is the second episode of the second series of the British science fiction television program Doctor Who. In this episode, The Doctor attempts to take Rose to Sheffield in 1979 to see a concert, but instead ends up in the Scottish moors in 1879. They encounter a carriage carrying Queen Victoria, who has been forced to travel by roads as a fallen tree has blocked the train line, feared to be a potential assassination attempt. The Doctor poses as an English doctor using his psychic paper, and the Queen invites him and Rose to join her as she travels to the Torchwood Estate. The royal party is unaware that the estate has been captured by a group of monks posing as the house's servants and guards. The monks, having arranged for the fallen tree to force the Queen to the estate, have brought a man infected with a form of lycanthropy (werewolf sickness), hoping to pass its nature to the Queen and create a new "Empire of the Wolf".
The Doctor soon realizes the trap they have fallen into and helps to save Rose and the Queen from the werewolf by taking shelter in the estate's library, its wood coated with oil of mistletoe wood to stave off the beast. In the library, they discover evidence which indicates the werewolf is really the current form of an alien species that fell to earth in 1540 near the monastery, surviving by passing its lycanthropic form from human to human. The Doctor also realizes that the estate was designed as a trap for the werewolf which they succeed in containing. As they recover, the Queen finds a small cut she insists came from a wood splinter, but the Doctor remarks to Rose that all her children will carry a form of hemophilia and that perhaps this was a Victorian euphemism for lycanthropy. The next day, the Queen dubs the Doctor and Rose with royal titles before banishing them from the British Empire, apparently "horrified" by their connection to a world she does not understand.
