Francis Currie was reporting on a battle at Tower Bridge between Silurians and the combined forces of UNIT and ICIS. UNIT staged a total news blackout and cover story over the battle, detaining Currie in the process. When Currie refused to sign the non-disclosure form, he was tortured until he was cooperative.
