The Doctor and his companion Ace arrive at a mysterious mansion located in the heart of Victorian England. It is known to be haunted, and the Doctor's mission is to uncover the truth behind the haunting. As they explore the mansion, they come across strange occurrences and bizarre creatures.

The mansion's owner, Josiah Smith, seems to be hiding something, and his strange behavior leaves the Doctor even more suspicious. Meanwhile, Ace begins to feel a strange connection to the building and its occupants, as if she has lived there before.

As the Doctor delves deeper into the mystery, he discovers that the mansion is not what it seems. It is a spaceship, and it has been travelling through space for thousands of years. The inhabitants are not human, but rather an alien race known as the Time Lords.

Josiah Smith is revealed to be an agent of the Time Lords, sent to collect data on evolution. The mansion is filled with experiments and specimens from different planets and time periods, and the Time Lords have been observing them for centuries. However, something has gone wrong with their experiment, and the mansion has become unstable.

The Doctor and Ace must race against time to prevent the mansion from exploding and killing everyone inside. As they try to unravel the mystery of the Time Lords' experiments, they are confronted by their own pasts and the choices they have made.

In the end, the Doctor must confront the Time Lords and their actions, and make a difficult decision that may change the course of his own life forever.

Ghost Light is a thrilling and thought-provoking episode that explores the themes of evolution, identity, and morality. It features strong performances from the cast, especially Sylvester McCoy as the enigmatic Doctor. The eerie atmosphere and complex storyline make it a standout episode in the Doctor Who canon.
