:"Did he say he was going to change what it means to be human?"
:: The Doctor is immediately suspicious of Professor Lazarus, so he and Martha get dressed up to investigate what's going on at a grand scientific launch. Neither of them could have guessed, however, that the "mad" professor has the power to turn back the clock...
