0:03:35 > 0:03:37I got dressed in a hurry.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Cyril, what are you doing awake?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49It's the moon's fault, apparently. It's too interesting.

0:03:59 > 0:04:00You're not fooling anyone!
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Listen, Cyril. Tell him that I've borrowed Mr Goldsmith's car,
0:04:04 > 0:04:08that I found a spaceman in a field - possibly an angel -
0:04:08 > 0:04:10but he's injured, and I can't get his helmet off,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14so I'm taking him into town to find a police telephone box. All right?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- All right.- Good boy!

0:04:54 > 0:04:58Can't. Impact suit. It's still repairing me.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Repairing you?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Yeah. Well, I mean, that's the idea.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54Don't be silly. It's Christmas Eve. No-one should be alone at Christmas.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- What did you say your name was? - Madge. Madge Arwell.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- If there's ever anything that I can do for you, let me know.- How?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I don't know. Make a wish, that usually works.- Does it?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Well, it did for me. You're here, aren't you?- Oh!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Oh! Well, don't wait around here. Just...off you go home.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I'll just go and, er, and wait inside here.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58But we're going to Uncle Digby's house. Will he be there?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02He will, won't he, Mother? Daddy WILL be there?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Of course he will.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07See? Now, have you thought of anything?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Erm...yep.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Maybe it's haunted by the ghost of Uncle Digby.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Uncle Digby is still alive. He's in a home in Battersea. - MADGE CONTINUES KNOCKING
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Mr Cardew! - But why do we have to come here?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Because of the bombing, stupid. - I like the bombing. It's exciting.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Will Father be here?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56He will, won't he? You said he'd meet us at the house.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14There we go!

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Thank you.- Thank you.- Thank you. - Lovely.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- Would you mind carrying them for me? I need to show you round. - Oh, no, wait! Who are you?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- I'm the caretaker. - But you're not Mr Cardew.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I agree.- But I don't understand. Are you the new caretaker?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Usually called the Doctor. Or the Caretaker. Or Get Off This Planet.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Though, strictly speaking, that probably isn't a name.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Hello, Madge Arwell.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Hello.- And Cyril Arwell.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And Lily Arwell.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43I sleep up there, stay away, beware of panthers.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Panthers??
0:10:44 > 0:10:47They're terrifying! Have you never seen panthers?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05A sciencey-wiencey workbench. A jungle! A maze!
0:11:05 > 0:11:08A window disguised as a mirror. A mirror disguised as a window!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Torches for midnight feasts and secret reading.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Zen garden, mysterious cupboard, zone of tranquility,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18rubber wall, dream tank, exact model of the rest of the house -

0:11:19 > 0:11:23dolls with comical expressions, the Magna Carta, a foot spa,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Cluedo, a yellow fort.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Where are the beds? - I couldn't fit everything in. There had to be sacrifices.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Anyway, who needs beds when you've got...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38..hammocks?!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40(I know!)
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- But how do you get on? - Watch and learn, kid.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48For God's sake!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52This hammock has developed a fault!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Can you please stop talking? Can you please just stop?
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- Sorry.- Children, go downstairs. - Why?- Are we leaving?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Yes! No! I don't know. Just, please, go downstairs!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07You don't need to shout.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Why are you doing all this?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I'm just...trying to take care of things. I'm the caretaker.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20That's not what caretakers do.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Then why are they called caretakers?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Their father's dead.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27I'm sorry.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Lily and Cyril's father - my husband - is dead, and they don't know yet.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Because if I tell them now, then Christmas will always be what took their father away from them,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38and no-one should have to live like that.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Of course, when the Christmas period is over, I shall...
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I don't know why I keep shouting at them.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Because every time you see them happy,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57you remember how sad they're going to be,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and it breaks your heart.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Mother, come and see!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Mother, you've got to see this. Come on!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Because what's the point in them being happy now
0:13:08 > 0:13:10if they're going to be sad later?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Mother!- Mother? Are you coming?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15The answer is, of course...
0:13:15 > 0:13:19because they are going to be sad later.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Now, we'd better get downstairs.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I think they may have found the main sitting room.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Mother!

0:14:18 > 0:14:21And it's a nice tree, isn't it?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25It's the BEST tree in the world.

0:14:28 > 0:14:29Yes, I suppose it is.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50and these are the ones he was following.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Notice anything?- The other footprints are getting bigger.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Yes. Whatever your brother's following...
0:21:59 > 0:22:00it's growing.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Well, then we have to get after him!
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's OK, you're fine. Don't worry.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Is that tree...alive?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Of course it's alive, it's a TREE! - But is it dangerous?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well, every rose has its thorns.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- They're like Christmas tree decorations.- Yeah.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Naturally occurring Christmas trees.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30HE SNIFFS
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Oh, how cool is that?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- I don't understand. - It's a big universe.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Everything happens somewhere.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Call it a coincidence, call it an idea echoing among the stars.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Personally, I call it a brilliant idea for a Christmas trip.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Or it should've...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46SOFT WHISPERING VOICES
0:22:46 > 0:22:47..been.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Do you know the difference between wind and trees talking to each other?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54What?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01No wind.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05I've been here many times, but I've never heard the trees so active.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Something's wrong.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13What are you doing?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17What are you up to?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I'm sorry, Lily. I really am,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31but there is something very wrong in this forest,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33and your brother's right in the middle of it.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Lily and Cyril Arwell, where are you?

0:25:47 > 0:25:49There's never anything dangerous here.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48No, wait! Armed! No, unarmed.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54Sorry, sir. She's wearing wool, sir. It's the natural fabrics, they interfere with...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Please say we can tell the difference between wool and side arms.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58We can tell the difference, sir.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Can we?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Not always, sir, no.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08What are you doing here, and do you understand what is about to happen in this forest?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- I was just... - Sir, I think she's a time traveller.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- And we're sure it's not her cardigan?- Who are you?

0:27:52 > 0:27:55It's just irresponsible! How can you do this to my brother?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- It was meant to be a supervised trip. - To the future?- The future, yes.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03- On a different planet. - Oh, yes, very different. - Where Christmas trees just happen.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Sort of Christmas trees, they're not REALLY Christmas trees.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30WOODEN CREAKING
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Oh, look at that!
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- What, are we going in? - Well, Cyril did.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Interesting...
0:28:43 > 0:28:46What's that? What's that statue? What is it?
0:28:46 > 0:28:51- It's like a king. - A king, possibly, but not a statue.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54(Look at the floor.)
0:28:54 > 0:28:57This is what Cyril was following - the growing thing.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Hatched from a bauble on a tree.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Grew to this size in less than an hour, I'd say.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Oosh!
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Impressive.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06And so is this building!
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Yes. It's grown, see.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11This building, it isn't a building, it's a group of trees
0:29:11 > 0:29:15grown in the SHAPE of a building, disguised as a building.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16Ooh, clever, I love.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Clever, clever old forest.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22So, a forest grows a building. Why would it do that, Lily?
0:29:22 > 0:29:27- I don't know.- Why's there honey in a honey trap?- Because it's a trap?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Exactly. Thing about people, we can never resist a door.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34So, this is a trap? We've just walked straight into a trap?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36A people trap. Question is...
0:29:37 > 0:29:39(..why does a forest need people?)
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- We should go! We have to get out of here.- Except?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Except Cyril's here.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53So, let's find Cyril.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Ma'am, please stop crying. I can't interrogate you while you're crying.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02This is a military engagement!
0:30:02 > 0:30:05There's no crying in military engagements!
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Corporal Ven-Garr, are you....
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I'm fine, sir.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13What is wrong with you??
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I have...mother issues, sir. It's all on file.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19It won't affect the performance of my duties.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23Sir, with regret, I'm going to have to lower my gun.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28- Why?- She is a crying, unarmed female civilian.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- I'm thinking of the visual. - Nobody's looking.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Doesn't mean there's no visual.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37That's exactly what "nobody's looking" means! It means there's no visual.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39VEN-GARR SOBS
0:30:39 > 0:30:42I'm sorry, sir. it's under control. Do you want me to shoot her, sir?
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Oh, this visual's deteriorating, sir.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Shut up!
0:30:48 > 0:30:50What are you doing??
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I am respecting her as a woman, sir.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Oh... OK. We're putting our guns on the ground.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04OK? Happy now? We're stepping away from our guns.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Now can we interrogate you??
0:31:08 > 0:31:13We're from Androzani Major, the year is 5345, and we mean you no harm.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Where are you from?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18England, 1941.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20And there's a war on.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Oh, crying's ever so useful, isn't it?
0:31:26 > 0:31:31If you say so. But there's nothing you could say that would convince me you'd ever use that gun.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Oh, really?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Well, I'm looking for my children!
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Cyril?
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Cyril? Can you hear me?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Cyril? Cyril?
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Cyril, can you hear me?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Oh, of course, it's wood! It's rubbish at wood!
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- It doesn't LOOK like wood. - It's disguised wood. Have you been listening?
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- How can trees grow into a building? - Never underestimate a tree, Lily.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00I met the forest of Cheem once. She fancied me.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- Look at that!- Busy, actually. Yes, I know it's wood. Get over it!
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- But there are stars. There are stars coming out. - That does happen, Lily. Cyril!
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Yes. But out of the trees.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19What is that?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Life force.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Pure life force, just...
0:32:29 > 0:32:30..singing.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Beautiful.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Doesn't it make you want to cry?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Crying when you're happy.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Ah, good for you.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44That's so human.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45WHOOSHING
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- What's it? What is it? Tell me, what?!- Cyril!
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Can you hear me??
0:32:50 > 0:32:51WOODEN CREAKING
0:33:00 > 0:33:02WOODEN CREAKING
0:33:09 > 0:33:11LOUD BANGING
0:33:11 > 0:33:13BANGING ECHOES
0:33:13 > 0:33:16(Oh, my god! Oh, my god!)
0:33:23 > 0:33:25What is all this?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Is it some kind of cockpit?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30My husband's a pilot.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32It drives the platform.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I don't understand! How did I get here?
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- You tell us, ma'am.- I'm looking for my children.- There can't be anyone else in this forest.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Well, she found her way in. Maybe her kids did, too.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Then God help them. - Why do you say that?
0:33:44 > 0:33:48We can do a scan for life forms. We can detect people, even though they're far away.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- Like RDF? Radar?- Yes. - Then please stop patronising me and get on with it!- Yes, ma'am.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Why did you say, God help my children?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58This forest is about to be harvested.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59Harvested?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Androzani trees. Greatest fuel source ever.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06The entire area is being melted down for battery fluid.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Melted down? How do you melt a forest?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Acid rain. The satellites are in position.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Anyone still out there in five minutes...is going to burn.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Caretaker, it's coming.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Open it!- I'm trying! - Open it!- I'm trying!
0:34:26 > 0:34:27BANG, SCRAPING
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- (That wasn't me.) - It doesn't matter!
0:34:37 > 0:34:40What's wrong with him, Caretaker? Is he dead?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43It's OK, he's just unconscious.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45So, what are you, then?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Not a king, a queen!
0:34:47 > 0:34:49The Queen Bee of the forest.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Caretaker!
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Look!
0:34:55 > 0:34:57It's like...
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Like what?- Like the life force is leaving the forest.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06THUMPING FOOTSTEPS
0:35:09 > 0:35:12What are they doing? Stop him!
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Oh, aliens made of wood! This was always going to happen, you know.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Um...
0:35:20 > 0:35:25It's OK. I think they just want to talk to us.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33They're scared.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40Can't you hear them? The trees are screaming. Can't you hear?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43No. But you can.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45You're connected to them.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48OK, picking up life signs about half a mile away.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Can we go to them? Can we move this thing?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I'm not trained, ma'am. Those two are.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- I can't trust them.- I can't drive the platform, ma'am.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58It looks a little like a plane.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00My husband flies a plane. He took me up once.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02It takes years of training!
0:36:02 > 0:36:06I'm scanning for an audio connection - we might be able to hear them.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11'Acid rain alert, five-minute warning. Prepare for beam-out.'
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- I'm so sorry! You have to find a way out!- 'Evacuate.'
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Acid fall is coming. You won't last two minutes!
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- 'Evacuate.' - Don't go! No, please wait! No!
0:36:19 > 0:36:21What am I going to do? I...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23'Evacuate. Evacuate.'
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- Where have you gone?- 'Acid fall in five minutes. Unauthorised personnel will be incinerated.'
0:36:28 > 0:36:31BLEEPING
0:36:31 > 0:36:36- LILY: 'Why have the stars left the trees?- CYRIL: I think they're...'
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Just concentrate. What are they doing?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Evacuating. They're evacuating.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Why?
0:36:44 > 0:36:48They're...frightened of the rain.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50The rain that burns.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58'Caretaker, please explain.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00'I'm frightened.'
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Those stars. They're pure life force. Souls, if you like.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09And they're trying to escape because they think their home is going to burn.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Why can't they just float up into the sky?
0:37:11 > 0:37:15They need to travel inside a living thing.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Inside Cyril. You see, this...
0:37:21 > 0:37:24It's not a crown, it's a relay.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28They're turning your brother into a lifeboat!
0:37:28 > 0:37:30That's what this place is for, then.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33It's an escape plan, is that it?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Don't you harm him. Do not touch that child!
0:37:36 > 0:37:39ALIEN VOICE: Your coming was foretold.
0:37:39 > 0:37:45- Oh, my god, what is that? Why does he sound like that? - Oh, hello! Are we lip-synching now?
0:37:45 > 0:37:50- We had faith. Your coming was foretold.- There's no such thing as foretelling. Trust a time traveller.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53We waited, and you came.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58So, you've got an escape plan. Why aren't you escaping?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00The child is weak.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01You mean he's a child.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04No, he is weak. The forest cannot live in him.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07But there are others.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12There certainly are, and the good thing is, I look great in a hat.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- So, let's get this thing off, eh? - You are also weak.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18I'm really not.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Let's save a forest, eh, Cyril?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24You are not the one. You are weak.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25I'm really not!
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Ahh! Ahhhh!- Let go of it, just let go!
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Ahh!
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Let go of it! Just let go!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Please, just drop it! - I can't!
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Oh. It's funny, isn't it?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46It's sort of...tingly.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Tingly?!
0:38:51 > 0:38:53ALIEN VOICE: She is strong, but she is young.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55LILY GASPS
0:38:56 > 0:38:59She's strong, I'm weak.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Interesting.- Mummy?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Cyril, it's all right. It's me.
0:39:05 > 0:39:11Mummy isn't here, but we're going home to her right now.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Aren't we, Caretaker? - THUNDER RUMBLES
0:39:15 > 0:39:17(No.)
0:39:17 > 0:39:19I don't think we are.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22HEAVY RAINFALL
0:39:22 > 0:39:24The rain that burns.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Acid rain.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35'We have to get out of this forest, we're in terrible danger.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38'This tower won't protect us for long.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- 'Where's Mummy?- She's coming. You know she's coming, because...'
0:39:43 > 0:39:46because she always comes, doesn't she?
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Cyril, the way we came here, that door won't stay open for ever.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Now, I'm not even sure if I can get us through the forest safely,
0:39:55 > 0:39:59but if we're going to have any chance at all,
0:39:59 > 0:40:01we have to go now.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04No. We wait for Mummy.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Mummy always comes.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Not this time, Cyril. I'm sorry, but not this time.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17What's that?
0:40:17 > 0:40:22- It's an Androzani Harvester, but... - You recognise that thing?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24More to the point...
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I think I recognise the driving!
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Ha ha! Madge has entered the forest!
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Come on, Madge, you can do it! You go, girl!
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Shut up, you ridiculous oaf!
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Come on. This way - whoa! - you can do it, you can do it!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Excellent driving! Hello!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- Caretaker?- Yes!
0:40:49 > 0:40:51You're fired!
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Oh...
0:40:54 > 0:40:57SHE STRAINS
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Who-o-o-oa!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03CRASH!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05It's OK, she's fine, don't worry.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Stay here. Just stay here.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Madge, Madge!
0:41:11 > 0:41:13You OK?
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Stay inside, the rain is frightful!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Lily? Cyril?
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Cyril!
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- Mum!- Lily!
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Ah!
0:41:30 > 0:41:35What are you doing? How dare you leave the house?!
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Cyril, what have I told you about opening your presents early?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Sorry, Mummy.- Something like this was bound to happen.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42LILY GASPS
0:41:42 > 0:41:43WOODEN CREAKING
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Oh, what are those?
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Stay away from it. You have to stay back.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- That's beautiful, isn't it?- Mummy?
0:41:52 > 0:41:55See how it shines!
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Nice one, Madge. A complete write-off!
0:42:21 > 0:42:25The stars are going inside her. She's taking the whole forest!
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Oh, this is marvellous.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Oh, this is really quite wonderful.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Madge! Are you all right?
0:42:45 > 0:42:50Talk to me. Madge, can you hear me?
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Yes, I can hear you. I'm perfectly fine, thank you.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Fine?! You've got a whole world inside your head!
0:42:57 > 0:42:59I know. It's funny, isn't it?
0:42:59 > 0:43:04One can't imagine being a forest, then suddenly one can.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06How remarkable!
0:43:06 > 0:43:07You're OK? She's OK?
0:43:08 > 0:43:10ALIEN VOICE: She is strong.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Ooh! That wasn't me.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Oh, this is all really rather clever, isn't it?
0:43:17 > 0:43:20She's strong? She's strong? Ooh!
0:43:20 > 0:43:24Ooh! Stupid me! Stupid old Doctor!
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- Do you get it, Cyril?- No. - Lily, you do, don't you?- No.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Course you do! Think about it!
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Weak and strong, it's a translation.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Translated from the base code of nature itself.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37You and I, Cyril, we're weak.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39But SHE'S female.
0:43:39 > 0:43:44More than female. She's Mum. How else does life ever travel?
0:43:44 > 0:43:45The MOTHER ship!
0:43:45 > 0:43:47EXPLOSIONS
0:43:53 > 0:43:55- What's happening??- No idea.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59Do what I do - hold tight and pretend it's a plan.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15This is...amazing.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- Where are we? - Technically, we're not anywhere.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22We've flown into the time vortex. You've got what you wanted -
0:44:22 > 0:44:26those idiots down there can burn your old home and you'll be safe out here.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29But these people helped you, and they're in my protection.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Now help them. How do we get home?
0:44:33 > 0:44:34ALIEN VOICE: Think.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Sorry, what?
0:44:36 > 0:44:38She must only think.
0:44:38 > 0:44:43Madge, did you hear that? You said it, but did you hear it? You've got to think.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45Think...what?
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Think of home, just picture it. Feel it!
0:44:47 > 0:44:49You have to really feel it. Can you do that?
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Your mind is controlling this vessel.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54You can fly us all back for Christmas!
0:44:54 > 0:44:58My head is full of trees, Caretaker. Can't YOU fly us home?
0:44:58 > 0:45:02I don't have a home to think of. And, between you and me, I'm older than I look,
0:45:02 > 0:45:08and I can't feel the way you do, not any more. And you really need to feel it, Madge.
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Everything about home you miss, till you can't bear it, till you almost burst.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17Till it hurts? Is that what you mean, Caretaker?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Till it hurts?- Yes.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21Yes.
0:45:33 > 0:45:38Well, then... home in time for Christmas!
0:45:38 > 0:45:39SHE GASPS AND MOANS
0:45:46 > 0:45:49What's happening? Where are we going?
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Show them! Show them!
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Ha! The time vortex.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01Your mother is flying a forest through the time vortex.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02Be a little impressed!
0:46:02 > 0:46:05What are you going home for? What's pulling you there?
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Please, try. Please, think.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10- Reg!- Daddy!
0:46:10 > 0:46:12My Reg!
0:46:16 > 0:46:20That's it. Focus on Reg. Be careful, but focus on him.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22I don't know...
0:46:22 > 0:46:25How did you meet? You and Reg, tell me how you met.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27He followed me home.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31I worked in the dairy, he always used to follow me home.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Look at Father. He looks so young!
0:46:34 > 0:46:37He said he'd keep on following me till I married him!
0:46:38 > 0:46:42- Didn't like to make a scene! - Just stay focused. Think of home.
0:46:42 > 0:46:46This thing, it works psychically - it'll find a signal and lock on.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50No. No, please, don't show me that! Please, don't show me that!
0:46:50 > 0:46:55- Is that Daddy's plane? - Please, I don't want to see that! Please, no!- No, no, no, Madge.
0:46:55 > 0:47:00- We can't break the signal now, I'm sorry!- Not the night he died! I don't want to see him die!
0:47:00 > 0:47:02SHE SOBS
0:47:02 > 0:47:06What do you mean... the night he died?
0:47:06 > 0:47:11- Oh, please don't make me watch him die!- Mummy? Is Daddy dead?
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Mummy!
0:47:22 > 0:47:26Sir, Anderson's in a bad way. Where are we?
0:47:26 > 0:47:28I don't know. Somewhere over the Channel.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31- What do I tell Anderson? - Tell him...
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Tell him... Tell him we're going home for Christmas.
0:47:34 > 0:47:35Yes, sir.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44I'm sorry, my love.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00MADGE: Goodbye, my love. Goodbye!
0:48:00 > 0:48:02SHE SOBS
0:48:10 > 0:48:13GROANING
0:48:13 > 0:48:17Cyril! Lily! Are you all right?
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Yeah.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Are they dead?
0:48:22 > 0:48:25No. They're just wood now. They've been...
0:48:26 > 0:48:28..emptied.
0:48:28 > 0:48:33- The forest has gone from your head too, hasn't it? - But where is it now?
0:48:33 > 0:48:36The life force of the whole forest has transmuted itself
0:48:36 > 0:48:39into a sub-etheric waveband of light, which can exist as a...
0:48:40 > 0:48:43The... The... The...
0:48:43 > 0:48:47souls of the trees are out among the stars,
0:48:47 > 0:48:50and they're shining, very happy.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54And you got them there. Well done, Madge.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56And where are we?
0:48:56 > 0:49:01Home! Christmas morning! We've taken a bit of a short cut.
0:49:01 > 0:49:06- Haven't you always wanted to do that?- Mother?
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Oh, look at you. You've been so brave. You...
0:49:10 > 0:49:14Look, we're home again, see?
0:49:14 > 0:49:16What did you mean, watch him die?
0:49:18 > 0:49:21Where's Father? Where is he? Where's Daddy?
0:49:26 > 0:49:28Why are you holding a telegram?
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Well, what does it say?
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Please, just tell us!
0:49:38 > 0:49:39Tell us!
0:49:40 > 0:49:43I imagine you'd prefer to be alone.
0:49:43 > 0:49:47I don't believe anyone would prefer that.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Stay close, Caretaker.
0:49:49 > 0:49:50I'll be right outside.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Lily...
0:49:59 > 0:50:00Cyril...
0:50:13 > 0:50:15A few nights ago, your father,
0:50:15 > 0:50:19who, as you know, was the best of men and the bravest of pilots,
0:50:19 > 0:50:21was flying home for Christmas.
0:50:23 > 0:50:29His plane was badly damaged, and his instruments failed him.
0:50:29 > 0:50:34Unfortunately, he was flying on a night where there was no moon,
0:50:34 > 0:50:38and because it was very cloudy, there were no stars...
0:50:41 > 0:50:44There were no stars to light his way.
0:50:44 > 0:50:49- Did he get lost? - Yes, Cyril. He got so very lost.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Um... Sorry to interrupt.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55You might want to pop out here for a moment.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Caretaker, I'm talking to my children!
0:50:57 > 0:50:58I know.
0:50:58 > 0:51:03And before you go any further, I think you'd better come and look.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12No stars to light the way, Madge?
0:51:12 > 0:51:14There was one.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17There was you!
0:51:22 > 0:51:24What is it?
0:51:24 > 0:51:27I don't know... but it's all we've got.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29We can follow it!
0:51:35 > 0:51:39Madge Arwell, who flew a whole forest though the time vortex...
0:51:39 > 0:51:41plus one husband!
0:51:41 > 0:51:44He did it again, Madge. He followed you home.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Look what you can do!
0:51:47 > 0:51:48Mother Christmas!
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Madge!
0:51:51 > 0:51:53What am I doing here?
0:51:53 > 0:51:56It's Christmas Day, my love! Where else would you be?
0:51:56 > 0:52:01- Christmas Day? How? - We took a short cut.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08- Daddy!- Daddy!
0:52:24 > 0:52:27Happy crying.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Humany-wumany.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34MUSIC: Silent Night
0:52:54 > 0:52:56Ah...
0:52:56 > 0:53:00Of course! It's you, isn't it?
0:53:00 > 0:53:02My spaceman angel, with his head on backwards!
0:53:02 > 0:53:04How do I look the right way round?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07- Funnier.- OK.- So, you came back.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10Well, you were there for me when I had a bad day.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12Always like to return a favour.
0:53:12 > 0:53:17Got a bit glitchy in the middle there, but it sort of worked out in the end.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Story of my life.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Thank you.
0:53:26 > 0:53:31Oh, you did it all yourself, Madge Arwell.
0:53:31 > 0:53:32But thanks for thanking me.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Now, the last time I saw you, I went back the next day,
0:53:35 > 0:53:37but the police box had gone.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Yeah. You want to see how it's done?
0:53:39 > 0:53:43No. I want you to stay for Christmas, please.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Ah. Well, you see, things to do, people to see.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49Of course, yes. Family of your own.
0:53:49 > 0:53:50Well...
0:53:51 > 0:53:55- ..no, actually... - Oh! Yes, yes, you said no family.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58But there must be people who love you. Friends...
0:53:58 > 0:54:01No. Well, yes. But...
0:54:01 > 0:54:04It's a long story...
0:54:04 > 0:54:06but they all think I'm dead.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08Never mind. Anyway, watch my box do its thing.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10It's really cool, you'll love it.
0:54:10 > 0:54:14- No, no-one should be alone at Christmas.- I'm fine, I don't mind. I'm really very good at...
0:54:14 > 0:54:19I'm talking about your friends! You can't let them think that you're dead! Not at Christmas!
0:54:19 > 0:54:24- It's complicated, very complicated, it's far too complicated...- You must tell them. At once. Off you go.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30Yes, Mum. I'll think about it.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39Now, eyes on the box.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Oh, Caretaker?
0:54:42 > 0:54:44What if I require you again?
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Make a wish!
0:55:09 > 0:55:11What the hell was that?
0:55:11 > 0:55:15Oh, it was just the Caretaker returning to the time vortex.
0:55:15 > 0:55:20It's a lovely place. I've been there myself! Shall we go downstairs?
0:55:27 > 0:55:31AMY: Ughhh! If that is more carol singers, I have a water pistol!
0:55:31 > 0:55:34You don't want to be all wet on a night like this.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Not absolutely sure...
0:55:42 > 0:55:44how long...
0:55:44 > 0:55:45Two years?
0:55:48 > 0:55:50OK.
0:55:50 > 0:55:53- Fair point.- So...
0:55:53 > 0:55:56- You're not dead. - And a happy New Year!
0:55:59 > 0:56:01River told us.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06- Well, of course she did. - She's a good girl.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Well? I'm not going to hug first.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13Nor am I.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34THEY LAUGH
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Oh!
0:56:43 > 0:56:45Ohh! Mr Pond!
0:56:45 > 0:56:48Guess who's coming for dinner!
0:56:48 > 0:56:51Oooh! Not dead, then.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54- We've done that.- Oh.- We're about to have Christmas dinner. Joining us?
0:56:54 > 0:56:58- If it's no trouble. - There's a place set for you. - But you didn't know I was coming.
0:56:58 > 0:57:03- Why would you set me a place? - Oh, because we always do.
0:57:03 > 0:57:06It's Christmas, you moron.
0:57:07 > 0:57:09Come on.
