Synopsis for "The Hyperion Empire (part 1)"[]
The International Space Station is hit by a mysterious fiery object and destroyed. Lake Windermere is hit by a mysterious fiery spacecraft and evaporates. A U.N.I.T. force goes to the Lake District and is killed. All communications channels on Earth receive a message: "Hyperios rises." Other spaceships gather around the planet. The Doctor and Clara land in London in the summer of 2015 and are taken aback to find that it is a charred, incinerated waste land. Clara enters Westminster Abbey and a fireman called Sam (who has already heard all the jokes) saves her from an ash monster. Sam says that the ash zombies are called 'the Scorched', and are "the ones they burned first." The Doctor goes to a shop and finds a looter with a gun, who is attacked and killed by the Scorched.
