plot synopsis
The Devil's Hump barrow is due to be opened by an archaeologist live on BBC3, and as a result, psionic alien forces are unleashed and the village of Devil's End becomes trapped inside a vast force field dome, much to the delight of the new vicar, Reverend Magister, in reality the Master. He is trying to summon up Azal, last of the Daemons, to claim the right to inherit his powers, by using a black magic coven in the Church's crypt. With the creature being more than capable of destroying the world, the Doctor has to try and stop the Master
