Episode 1.2 by Adrian Hodges

Nick is convinced that the camera he found in the past is evidence that his wife, Helen, is still alive, and that she was the mysterious woman he glimpsed at the university. After boasting of his adventures to his nerdy friends Duncan and Tom, Connor finds an internet report of a potential new portal located in the New Forest; discovering that Abby is secretly keeping Rex as a pet, Connor coerces her into joining him on an expedition to locate the portal. That night, their camp is attacked by a dinosaur – which promptly turns out to be a puppet wielded by Duncan and Tom; the two geeks run off laughing at their deception, just as the police arrive and arrest the hapless Connor and Abby for trespassing. When Nick learns of these events, he is furious, and drops Connor from the team; he then joins Claudia at a local hospital, where a London Underground cleaner has been admitted, suffering from the venom in what appears to be the bite of a giant insect, and babbling about monsters. Although Sir James Lester of the Home Office refuses to accede to Nick’s recommendation to close down the Tube system, he does agree to an investigation of the tunnels; Captain Ryan leads a Special Forces team down into the tunnel system, but they are attacked by a nest of huge, spider-like creatures and forced to retreat. Suspecting that another time portal is nearby, Nick convinces Claudia to allow him, Stephen and Abby to search the nest; however, they soon discover that another creature from the Carboniferous Era has come through to the present: a giant, vicious ancestor of the millipede, known as an Arthropleura…
