0:00:14 > 0:00:16OK. I have questions.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28You never said we could travel to parallel worlds!

0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Not a parallel world. - But that's London...

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Hang on, why aren't we home? Can't you steer this thing?

0:00:41 > 0:00:43I told you. You don't steer the TARDIS, you reason with it.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- How?- Unsuccessfully, most of the time...

0:00:46 > 0:00:49She's a bad girl, this one... RHYTHMIC THRUMMING

0:01:02 > 0:01:03Last day before the thaw.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Thought I'd better find a more reliable parking spot.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Wait, you want to go out there?

0:01:09 > 0:01:11- You don't?- It's 1814...

0:01:11 > 0:01:13- Melanin.- Yes?

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Slavery is still totally a thing.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20SADLY: Yes, it is...

0:01:20 > 0:01:24- It might be, like, dangerous out there.- Definitely dangerous.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25So, how do we stay out of trouble?

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Well, I'm not the right person to ask.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31OK, when you go somewhere dangerous, what do you take?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33First door on the left, second right, under the stairs,

0:01:33 > 0:01:36- past the bins, fifth door on the left.- What's there?

0:01:36 > 0:01:37The wardrobe. Pick a dress.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40So, the TARDIS has dresses and likes a bit of trouble?

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Yeah, I think I'm low-key in love with her.- Me, too.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Watch out, sir!

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Doesn't anyone notice the TARDIS?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Your species hardly notices anything.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58TRILLING

0:02:58 > 0:03:00ALARM BEEPS

0:03:03 > 0:03:05So, what are the rules?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Rules?- Yeah.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Travelling to the past, There's got to be rules.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12If I step on a butterfly, it could send ripples through time

0:03:12 > 0:03:14that mean I'm not even born in the first place

0:03:14 > 0:03:16- and I could just disappear. - Definitely.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20- That's what happened to Pete. - Pete?- Your friend, Pete.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22He was standing there a moment ago,

0:03:22 > 0:03:25but he stepped on a butterfly and now you don't even remember him.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Shut up!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- I'm being serious! - Yeah, so was Pete...

0:03:30 > 0:03:32You know what I mean.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Every choice I make in this moment,

0:03:34 > 0:03:36here and now, could change the whole future.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Exactly like every other day of your life.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40The only thing to do is to stop worrying about it.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44OK. If you say so.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Pete's stopped worrying. - Chestnuts, sir?

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Come to the Frost Fair, miss. Only a sixpence, miss.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Oh, my God...!

0:03:57 > 0:04:01You're not stepping on a butterfly, you're just taking a flyer.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08It's just time travel.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13- Don't overthink it.- Is that what you said to Pete?- Who's Pete?

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah

0:07:33 > 0:07:37Sometimes you see lights under the ice.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42OK, so you've seen the lights.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Of course. - Well, why didn't you say something?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Well, you're enjoying yourself.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- The boy's the one with your magic wand.- Sonic screwdriver.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- How is that a screwdriver? - In a very broad sense.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- How's it sonic? - It makes a noise.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53and save him.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I'm sorry about your friend,

0:10:57 > 0:10:59but the danger isn't over yet.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02There must be more of you living rough here - tell me where.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04- So, you can take us to the Magistrate?- No, of course not.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06We're not here to arrest you, we're here to help.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08And if you show me where you live, we can do that.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11"We"? She's gone!

0:11:30 > 0:11:32How did you find me?

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Get used to that question.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36- TEARFULLY:- Oh, clever. Yeah, very clever(!)

0:11:37 > 0:11:40What's wrong?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42"What's wrong"?

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Seriously, "What's wrong"?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47I've never seen anyone die before.

0:11:47 > 0:11:51A few hours ago, we were standing in a garden full of dead people.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- That was different.- How?

0:11:54 > 0:11:55They were dead already.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Morally and practically,

0:11:57 > 0:11:59that's not a useful distinction - unlearn it.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Don't tell me what to think!

0:12:01 > 0:12:03I'm your teacher -

0:12:03 > 0:12:05telling you things is what I do.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06Yeah? Tell me this.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- You've seen people die before, yeah? - Of course.- You still care?

0:12:10 > 0:12:11Of course I care.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- How many?- How many what?

0:12:15 > 0:12:17If you care so much,

0:12:17 > 0:12:19tell me how many people you've seen die?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I don't know.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25OK.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29How many before you lost count?

0:12:30 > 0:12:33I care, Bill, but I move on.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yeah? How quickly?

0:12:36 > 0:12:37It's not me you're angry with.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Have you ever killed anyone?

0:12:41 > 0:12:45There's a look in your eyes sometimes that makes me wonder.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Have you?

0:12:47 > 0:12:50There are situations when the options available are limited...

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Not what I asked!

0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Sometimes the choices are very... - That's not what I asked!

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Yes.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05SHE GASPS

0:13:11 > 0:13:12How many?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Don't tell me.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20You've moved on.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26You know what happens if I don't move on? More people die.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30There are kids living rough near here,

0:13:30 > 0:13:32they may well be next on the menu.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Do you want to help me? Do you want to stand here stamping your foot?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Because let me tell you something - I'm 2,000 years old...

0:13:39 > 0:13:41..and I have never had the time

0:13:41 > 0:13:44for the luxury of outrage.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54What do you mean, "on the menu"?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Is this where you live? - For now.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05But there's no-one here.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Good work!

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Except you, Dot. I can see your shoes.

0:14:13 > 0:14:14They're too big, that's why!

0:14:14 > 0:14:18Oh! I see! I get it.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21You lure people to the fair and then you rob them.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Very good. Very enterprising.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26They're all right, Dot.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Strange. But all right.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30And that's not how it is.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Oh, what? You DON'T rob people?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Course we do.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37But bringing people to the fair - that's by-the-by.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38On the side, like.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Why?- Why?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45For coin, of course. Why else?

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Someone pays you to promote the fair?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49To get people onto the ice?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Who? Who pays you?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Kitty? Where's Spider?

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Spider is...

0:15:02 > 0:15:03He...

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Who's hungry? I'm hungry!

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Food! Bill, food!

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Food is always useful.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Now, I know what you're thinking,

0:15:14 > 0:15:16but don't worry.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18These are stolen!

0:15:25 > 0:15:26Well, eat up.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Ah, with your permission, of course.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Don't suck your thumbs while I'm away.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47The great tall tailor always comes

0:15:47 > 0:15:50To little boys who suck their thumbs.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Ere they dream what he's about

0:15:53 > 0:15:56He takes his great sharp scissors out

0:15:56 > 0:15:59And cuts their thumbs clean off and then...

0:15:59 > 0:16:01You done staring yet?

0:16:04 > 0:16:06We're going to find out what those things are, OK?

0:16:06 > 0:16:09They're not going to hurt anyone else, I promise.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I promise.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14The Doctor...

0:16:14 > 0:16:16he helps people,

0:16:16 > 0:16:18- that's what he does. - And you?

0:16:18 > 0:16:21What do you do? Apart from shout at him?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23We were fighting.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26It happens.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Are you still fighting now?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31No.

0:16:32 > 0:16:33I moved on.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40OK,

0:16:40 > 0:16:44I'm wondering why the Frost Fair's on this part of the river.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I bet that at least one of you knows

0:16:47 > 0:16:49who paid Kitty to take people out on the ice.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53- It was a bad man...with a ship. - Dottie!

0:16:53 > 0:16:55A ship? What, do you mean a merchant?

0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Not that kind of ship.- Harry!- What?

0:16:57 > 0:17:00It's all right. You can tell him.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03It's a drawing.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Here. On his hand.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08So, this guy, where would we find him?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10He finds us.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13But a tattoo on his hand, I mean, we could ask around?

0:17:14 > 0:17:15Boring!

0:17:15 > 0:17:18I know something that's much easier to find.

0:17:18 > 0:17:19Where are we going?

0:17:20 > 0:17:23All right, you guys, hang tight! Laters.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27I was being all "down with the kids" there, did you notice?

0:17:27 > 0:17:29- Yeah, my hair was cringing. - Awesome!

0:17:31 > 0:17:32Please, stop!

0:17:33 > 0:17:35So, what's easier to find?

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Conjecture - there's something frozen under the Thames

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- and it's eating people.- OK.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Proposal - we need to get a closer look it.- Good, yeah.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Plan - let's get eaten.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- CLUNKING - Is this stuff safe?

0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Potentially.- "Potentially"? What does "potentially" mean?

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Safe, with a frisson of excitement.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59But we're not going to be completely defenceless down there, though?

0:17:59 > 0:18:01No, no, no.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02Well, yes. But don't worry about it.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Why not?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06What have you got up your sleeve?

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Oh, my God! Have you been holding out on me?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Do you have, like, magical, alien powers?

0:18:11 > 0:18:14HE PUFFS

0:18:14 > 0:18:16What, was that an impolite question?

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Why do we need diving suits on top of the ice?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22If we're lucky, the lights will come and take us under.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Whatever they are, they're clever.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26When they went after the boy,

0:18:26 > 0:18:31they waited until he was away from the crowds, by himself.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32What?

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Did you say something?

0:18:34 > 0:18:36The question is - how?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39LANTERN CLATTERS

0:21:07 > 0:21:08What?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I know you! You're the cheat!

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I love your work!

0:21:14 > 0:21:16The sound it made...

0:21:17 > 0:21:20I couldn't hear you, but that noise...

0:21:21 > 0:21:24..it's like I felt it in my bones, you know?

0:21:24 > 0:21:25It sounded like...like...

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Despair.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29Loneliness.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32A prisoner in chains.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37That guy! He said he caught the fish himself.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40I bought pie off that guy! Fish pie!

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Hello.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Aren't you magnificent?

0:21:46 > 0:21:49I ate that pie! I liked that pie!

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Definitely not carnivores.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Which means you're cooperating with the creature. Providing for it.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56What do you get in return, hmm?

0:21:56 > 0:21:58What did it take for you to evolve into that?

0:22:00 > 0:22:03The creature. Do you reckon that's what's making London so cold?

0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Very possibly.- What kind of alien messes with the weather?

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Ha-ha! You assume it's alien.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Of course it's alien!

0:22:11 > 0:22:12Alien, terrestrial -

0:22:12 > 0:22:15it's irrelevant. The real question is,

0:22:15 > 0:22:17who's keeping it in those chains?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19And perhaps...

0:22:19 > 0:22:21our friend here can answer that.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Who are you? What do you want with me?

0:22:25 > 0:22:28The coin trick. Just tell me how to do it, please!

0:22:28 > 0:22:29OK. Not the time.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Have you ever seen a man around here

0:22:32 > 0:22:34with a tattoo of a ship?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39What's that face? Is that a "no" or are you against tattoos?

0:22:39 > 0:22:42I'm against tattoos, too, I think that we're bonding.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44We're stood by the docks.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47And you just asked me if I've ever seen a man with a tattoo of a ship.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Exactly.- Fair point.

0:22:49 > 0:22:50What point?

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Forget the tattoos.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Have you seen anyone acting suspiciously since the freeze?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58There's the dredgers.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- The dredgers? - There's a workhouse, upriver.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04They have men out there patrolling all hours...

0:23:04 > 0:23:05- MAN:- Be quick about it!

0:23:05 > 0:23:08- What are they dredging for? - Let's find out.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11How are we getting in?

0:23:13 > 0:23:15You work for the palace?

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Haven't had that one in a while.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24Oi!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26How'd you get through here?

0:23:26 > 0:23:29A-ha! At last, someone in authority.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Oh, I do apologise, sir.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Does Lord Sutcliffe know you're here?

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Does Lord Sutcliffe know we're here?!

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Does Lord Sutcliffe know we're here?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Lord Sutcliffe insisted we come.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Hmm. Oh, that Lord Sutcliffe, yes.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47There's no arguing with Sutcliffe when he puts his foot down.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49- You'd better show us around. - Follow me, sir.

0:23:51 > 0:23:52Take it inside!

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Same as the last batch.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Why all the fuss?

0:23:58 > 0:24:02- It's just mud from the river, isn't it?- Mud is one word for it.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04Is this even the right place?

0:24:04 > 0:24:06The creature's almost a mile away.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08The creature's HEAD is almost a mile away.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10I assume we're now at the other end.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13These men... BRICK SPLATS

0:24:13 > 0:24:15..why do we trust them?

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Hired them all myself, sir. - Why do I trust you?

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Sir?- You understand how important this is, yes?

0:24:21 > 0:24:23It is imperative no-one discovers

0:24:23 > 0:24:26where this stuff goes when it leaves here.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28I know that, sir! We use unmarked carts.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Are they ever followed?- No, sir.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Have you checked this personally. - Yes, sir.- All the way to Hampton?

0:24:33 > 0:24:35No, to the steel mill, sir.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Hampton is code for the steel mill.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39- Code, sir?- Yes.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Yes, we need to use code, otherwise anyone could walk in here

0:24:42 > 0:24:44and get you blabbing like a fool.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45That's a good point, sir.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Now, these men, what do they know of this material?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53No more than I do, sir.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Yes, but you're someone who knows more than he tells.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Well, I'm not one to speculate...

0:25:00 > 0:25:02But you can't help it because you're a man of intelligence.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07They won't let us smoke in here, so I assume it's fuel.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Fuel for the furnaces, sir.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Excellent reasoning.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Lord Sutcliffe appreciates an enquiring mind.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17I keep my ear to the ground.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19And what is the ground saying these days?

0:25:21 > 0:25:25That this stuff burns a thousand times longer than coal?

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Very good.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30Hotter, too.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Hotter than they can measure.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35Excellent!

0:25:36 > 0:25:38First-class.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40- I'm right, aren't I, sir? - Oh, there's no stopping you.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43You keep this up, you won't be working in this yard for very long.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46- You think not? - I can almost guarantee it.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48You know what else they say?

0:25:48 > 0:25:51They say it even burns under water.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54No sh...

0:25:54 > 0:25:55HORSE NEIGHS

0:25:55 > 0:25:56So.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59This guy has a pet monster that turns people into fuel

0:25:59 > 0:26:02and we're just rocking up at his door?

0:26:02 > 0:26:04That's his door, this is us rocking.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07If we're going to stop him, we need to know where he started.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Meaning?- Which planet. - "Which planet"?

0:26:13 > 0:26:15So, you think Sutcliffe is an alien?

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Possibly. - Because the creature is an alien.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20It certainly appears to be producing fuel

0:26:20 > 0:26:23suitable for interstellar travel.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Either way, Bill...

0:26:28 > 0:26:31- ..I need you to leave the talking to me.- Why?

0:26:32 > 0:26:33Because you have a temper.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36OK, I lost it a tiny bit...

0:26:36 > 0:26:38You're about to meet a man, alien or otherwise,

0:26:38 > 0:26:40for whom human beings are raw material.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Who grinds up children for profit.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46What we are here for is one thing.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47Information.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49We get that with diplomacy and tact.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51Charm, if necessary.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53OK.

0:26:54 > 0:26:55I get it.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Always remember, Bill -

0:26:59 > 0:27:00passion fights...

0:27:00 > 0:27:02but reason wins.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Dr Disco, from the Fairford Club!

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Obviously, one aspires to membership,

0:27:10 > 0:27:12but to actually be considered for...

0:27:14 > 0:27:17Who... Who let this creature in here?

0:27:17 > 0:27:20On your feet, girl, in the presence of your betters.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25DOCTOR GRUNTS

0:27:26 > 0:27:28He's human.

0:27:28 > 0:27:3131 years of age. Low on iron.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Yeah, that was pretty convincing racism for an extra-terrestrial.

0:27:34 > 0:27:35My thoughts exactly.

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Oh, hello.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Can I just say, this is very unlike me.

0:27:41 > 0:27:42I don't normally do this.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45- He was aiming for charming. - Basically.

0:27:47 > 0:27:48Well...

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- ..you're not from the Fairford Club. - The creature in the river.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Where did it come from? - Who the devil are you people?

0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Where did it come from? - Nowhere!

0:27:59 > 0:28:00It's always been there.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03The secret's been passed down in the family since...

0:28:03 > 0:28:06I don't know when. As far back as records go.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Then, tell me. Do you also keep a record of how many it's killed?

0:28:08 > 0:28:12Please! The people know the ice is dangerous,

0:28:12 > 0:28:15yet they will insist on their festivities.

0:28:15 > 0:28:16That's hardly my fault.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19Don't sell yourself short. This is the biggest Frost Fair in decades,

0:28:19 > 0:28:21and that's down to you.

0:28:21 > 0:28:22It is?

0:28:22 > 0:28:26The man holding me has a tattoo on his left hand.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28And that's not all, is it?

0:28:28 > 0:28:31The circus performers, the elephant - that's all you.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36I made the most of the situation.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39It's the first proper freeze it's caused in years.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41Why?

0:28:41 > 0:28:42Production down, huh?

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Not enough people dying?

0:28:44 > 0:28:48Girl, you show the ignorance of all your kind.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51Without that beast, my mills would rely on coal mines,

0:28:51 > 0:28:54and men die in coal mines all the time.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56I preferred it when you were alien.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00- When I was...? - That explained the lack of humanity.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04What makes you so sure that your life is worth more

0:29:04 > 0:29:07than those people out there on the ice? Is it the money?

0:29:07 > 0:29:11The accident of birth that puts you inside the big, fancy house?

0:29:11 > 0:29:13I help move this country forward.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17I move this empire forward.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Human progress isn't measured by industry...

0:29:21 > 0:29:23..it's measured by the value you place on a life.

0:29:25 > 0:29:26An unimportant life.

0:29:28 > 0:29:29A life without privilege.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33The boy who died on the river, that boy's value is your value.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35That's what defines an age. That's...

0:29:37 > 0:29:39..what defines a species.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43What a beautiful speech.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47The...rhythm and vocabulary,

0:29:47 > 0:29:49quite outstanding.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52It's enough to move anyone...

0:29:54 > 0:29:55..with an ounce of compassion.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00So, it's really not your day, is it?

0:30:00 > 0:30:03If they know about the beast, then others must, too.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05We bring the plan forward.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07- When, sir?- Now!

0:30:07 > 0:30:08In daylight.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25No time for outrage.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28- You've never had time for anything else. Right?- Don't be smug.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Smug belongs to me.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36Are you really 2,000 years old?

0:30:37 > 0:30:38Why?

0:30:39 > 0:30:42I just wanted to know how long it takes,

0:30:42 > 0:30:45before you can make a speech like the one you just made.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48It was worth the wait.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Come on, out!

0:31:09 > 0:31:10Get in there!

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Sit down and shut up.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14It could be rum.

0:31:15 > 0:31:16Rum came in barrels.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18THEY GRUNT

0:31:18 > 0:31:20Nah, smell that.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23It's their home-made rocket fuel, redeployed as explosive.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25It's a little reckless, don't you think?

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Half the fair disappears into the river,

0:31:27 > 0:31:30- the secret of your success won't be a secret any more.- Hardly.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32The city will pause to mourn

0:31:32 > 0:31:34a fireworks display gone tragically awry,

0:31:34 > 0:31:37and the creature will be fed.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40By spring, this will be a footnote in history.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44That is progress.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46They're bringing the elephant out presently.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48We won't get bigger crowds than that,

0:31:48 > 0:31:51so make sure you're off the ice by noon.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Noon? There's no way you can keep us here that long.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56We'll just scream our heads off.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59- No. No, please, please, please... - HE-E-E-E-E...

0:31:59 > 0:32:02GASPING

0:32:02 > 0:32:04SHOUTING, YELLING, APPLAUSE

0:32:04 > 0:32:05Sixpence to the waterman...

0:32:05 > 0:32:11..E-E-E-LP!

0:32:11 > 0:32:14SHE COUGHS If you're quite finished,

0:32:14 > 0:32:15I could use some help.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Sonic screwdriver. Inside pocket.

0:32:20 > 0:32:21Oh, OK.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30Yeah, bit more...

0:32:31 > 0:32:33- Kick it!- Ah, OK.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35Can you...?

0:32:35 > 0:32:36That's it.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38OK, OK...

0:32:39 > 0:32:41- SONIC SCREWDRIVER TRILLS - OK...

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Um...Doctor?

0:32:47 > 0:32:48Huh?

0:32:48 > 0:32:50Oh, hello!

0:32:50 > 0:32:52How are you doing that?

0:32:52 > 0:32:53Er...

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Sonic screwdriver.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01It makes a noise. That's how the fish choose a victim -

0:33:01 > 0:33:04that's how they know they've isolated someone on the ice.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07Better question - WHY are you doing that?

0:33:07 > 0:33:08Just...a little more.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16What are you...?

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Give me that!

0:33:21 > 0:33:23SCREECHING

0:33:25 > 0:33:27- What the...?- Turn it off. There's a button on the side!

0:33:27 > 0:33:29SCREECHING

0:33:30 > 0:33:33Here! Give it here!

0:33:33 > 0:33:34HE YELLS

0:33:34 > 0:33:35SPLASHING

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Afraid it has a knack to it.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Bill. Miss Potts? I need you with me.

0:33:48 > 0:33:49I...

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Things to do, Bill. Decisions to make. What are we doing about Tiny?

0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Tiny?- The creature. The loch-less monster.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00The not-so-little mermaid. Are we just going to leave her down there?

0:34:00 > 0:34:02We can't set her free.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05She could burst up out of the water and eat 100 people

0:34:05 > 0:34:09right off of Southbank! She could eat half of London!

0:34:09 > 0:34:10She might. It's a risk.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13So, what do you want to do, Bill?

0:34:13 > 0:34:15We already know the answers.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Why are you even asking? - I don't know the answers.

0:34:17 > 0:34:20Only idiots know the answers.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23But if your future is built on the suffering of that creature,

0:34:23 > 0:34:24what's your future worth?

0:34:27 > 0:34:29Why is it up to me?

0:34:29 > 0:34:32Because it can't be up to me. Your people, your planet.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35I serve at the pleasure of the human race, and right now, that's you.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Give me an order.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Not long till noon.

0:34:40 > 0:34:41I need an order.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56Save her.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02I'll take care of this. You get everyone off the ice.

0:35:02 > 0:35:06Fido was right there, but when I turned back he was gone!

0:35:06 > 0:35:11- Need help, need it now. Are you in? - Where's your friend?- Not here.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13- What's he doing?- Not sure.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16But whatever it is, I don't think we're going to miss it.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19- The thaw! The thaw is here! - A lady fell through the ice!

0:35:19 > 0:35:22PANICKED SHOUTING

0:35:22 > 0:35:25- The ice is melting! - Quick! Get to the shore!

0:35:29 > 0:35:32- The ice is melting!- The ice!

0:35:32 > 0:35:35PANICKED SHOUTING

0:35:35 > 0:35:37It's a mistake!

0:35:37 > 0:35:39The ice isn't melting.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41I swear to you, there's no thaw!

0:35:41 > 0:35:42SHOUTING

0:35:43 > 0:35:45HE GRUNTS

0:35:45 > 0:35:46The ice is melting!

0:35:46 > 0:35:51- Quickly, quickly, that's it. - Move!

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Come on! Hurry!

0:35:59 > 0:36:00Come on!

0:36:00 > 0:36:03Something's happened - they've got the word out.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05We blow it now!

0:36:06 > 0:36:08No, not yet...

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Harriet!

0:36:12 > 0:36:13Run!

0:36:13 > 0:36:16- But there's still people... - Forget them. There's no time!

0:36:16 > 0:36:17Kitty!

0:36:17 > 0:36:18Run!

0:38:12 > 0:38:13Somewhere cold, I imagine.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17Hopefully, she's smart enough to avoid you lot now.

0:38:17 > 0:38:22What if she isn't? What if we just, like, doomed Greenland?

0:38:22 > 0:38:24I'll check in on Greenland.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31How long is she?!

0:38:40 > 0:38:43SHE SQUEAKS AND SINGS

0:38:43 > 0:38:45Can you hear that?

0:38:58 > 0:39:00No pinching anything, you hear me?

0:39:00 > 0:39:05And no staring like gapeseeds when the lady talks peculiar. It's rude.

0:39:07 > 0:39:08Get a load of you lot.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Cute as!

0:39:10 > 0:39:11Come on, then!

0:39:14 > 0:39:17You going to tell us what we're here for?

0:39:17 > 0:39:19A very long time, I hope.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32Go on.

0:39:32 > 0:39:33Eat as much as you like.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35DOCTOR PUFFS

0:39:39 > 0:39:42You, boy! Remind me. What's your name?

0:39:42 > 0:39:44- MUFFLED:- Perry.

0:39:45 > 0:39:46Perry. His name's Perry.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Why?

0:39:49 > 0:39:53Apparently, Lord Sutcliffe's long-lost heir can't be a girl.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06RHYTHMIC THRUMMING

0:40:09 > 0:40:12We must have changed something, right?

0:40:12 > 0:40:15I mean, people saw a monster in the Thames.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Well, it doesn't look any different.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23- DOCTOR SIGHS - All right. There you go.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25There's your tea.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29I put a bit of coffee in it, as well, just to give it some flavour.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31See, it's much better...

0:40:31 > 0:40:34- CROCKERY TINKLES - ..when you stick to your oath?

0:40:37 > 0:40:40Oh, sir! No! This is unacceptable!

0:40:40 > 0:40:42This is beyond unacceptable. This is naughty.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Language.- I don't get it.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46"London, 1814."

0:40:46 > 0:40:49"Monster", "sea creature", "serpent",

0:40:49 > 0:40:53"really, really big fish". Nothing.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56Sir! You said you wouldn't be going off-world!

0:40:56 > 0:40:59Do these look like off-world clothes to you?

0:40:59 > 0:41:01But, sir, you said you'd be coming back to your office!

0:41:01 > 0:41:05Look, here I am. I'm in my office.

0:41:05 > 0:41:06I'm drinking my tea.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09In my specially chosen tea clothes.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12I don't understand. How could it not have been headline news?

0:41:12 > 0:41:14Never underestimate the collective human ability

0:41:14 > 0:41:16to overlook the inexplicable.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19Also, the Frost Fair involved a lot of day drinking.

0:41:19 > 0:41:20May I?

0:41:22 > 0:41:24You can always rely upon the papers to miss a headline.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27"Lord Sutcliffe drowns in snap thaw...

0:41:27 > 0:41:30"Shock as steel fortune is passed to street urchin"!

0:41:30 > 0:41:31Sir.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33We need to talk. Your oath.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Give us a coin.- What?

0:41:35 > 0:41:39"The new Lord Sutcliffe was found starving on London's streets..."

0:41:39 > 0:41:42The inheritance was contested, everyone got super mad...

0:41:42 > 0:41:44blah, blah, blah...

0:41:44 > 0:41:46"Urchin boy deemed legitimate"!

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Oh, my God! It worked!

0:41:48 > 0:41:50You did it.

0:41:51 > 0:41:52You saved them.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55You did.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58You gave the order...boss.

0:41:58 > 0:41:59Sir...

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Give me a coin.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06We'll toss for it.

0:42:06 > 0:42:07Heads, the TARDIS stays put.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10Tails...

0:42:11 > 0:42:13..you leave me alone.

0:42:17 > 0:42:18Leave him alone.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Chance would be a fine thing!

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Leave ME alone.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24How about that for a new idea?

0:42:24 > 0:42:27I didn't ask to be re-assembled, did I?

0:42:27 > 0:42:29HEAVY KNOCKING

0:42:29 > 0:42:30Knocking.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34What was that about?

0:42:35 > 0:42:38No-one's going to open the door, just because you're knocking!

0:42:38 > 0:42:39HEAVY KNOCKING

0:42:39 > 0:42:42Oh! Getting cocky now, are you?

0:42:42 > 0:42:44Why?

0:42:44 > 0:42:45What do you think you know?

0:42:48 > 0:42:49What has he told you?

0:42:49 > 0:42:51HEAVY KNOCKING

0:42:51 > 0:42:54Because, yeah, he may have a little friend now

0:42:54 > 0:42:56and, yeah, he may be a little bit distracted

0:42:56 > 0:42:59but I tell you something, I'm still here

0:42:59 > 0:43:03and as long as I'm still here, you are going nowhere!

0:43:03 > 0:43:06LOUD KNOCKING, HE WHIMPERS

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Are you looking for somewhere to live?

0:43:14 > 0:43:15That's your house?

0:43:15 > 0:43:17Sharing, yeah. Six of us.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20- How do you get into the Tower? - You don't.

0:43:20 > 0:43:21What's that noise?

0:43:21 > 0:43:23There's some massive mystery going on.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26See you in the morning.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28The house is...eating people. CREAKING

0:43:28 > 0:43:30THUNDER RUMBLES

0:43:30 > 0:43:31CLUNKING

0:43:31 > 0:43:34No, no! No, no, no! There's something in here!

0:43:34 > 0:43:35Come, come! Come back! Hey!

0:43:35 > 0:43:37- SHE SCREAMS - You signed the contract.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39It's time to pay.
