Modern Series Episode 186:
Space Babies

Plot

When a trip to see dinosaurs in the distant past nearly goes disastrously wrong, the Doctor and Ruby instead travel eighteen millennia into her future. There the TARDIS lands on a space station which serves as a baby farm for the colony world of Pacifico Del Rio. But the facility has been abandoned by its crew, leaving only a small number of hyper-evolved infants to keep it running. To make matters worse, the lower decks are haunted by a monster whom the babies call the Bogeyman -- a creature so frightening that even the Doctor cannot help but be terrified.
