0:00:12 > 0:00:13PHONE RINGS

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Don't let us down now, Valkyrie.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Fingers crossed, Alan. - I got everything crossed.

0:00:25 > 0:00:30OK, people. Transmission arriving in...

0:00:31 > 0:00:37..ten, nine, eight, seven, six...

0:00:37 > 0:00:42Five, four, three, two, one!

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Sorry, I could never resist a countdown!

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Who the hell are you?! - Is this Neil Armstrong?

0:00:49 > 0:00:50What?

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Neil Armstrong? First man on the Moon.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Not quite the first...

0:00:54 > 0:00:56You mean he wasn't the first man on the Moon?

0:00:56 > 0:00:58That is such a human-centric question.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm the human in this set up.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01She is, actually.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02It's a bit embarrassing, really.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Who are you people?

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Friendly aliens. Don't mind us, just a day out for the kids.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13It's from the Chief!

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Is it? Oh, yes. That's right.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Authorising us to go anywhere we please. So - Valkyrie?

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Valkyrie...is...

0:01:23 > 0:01:27..probing the Martian ice caps with a new kind of camera on board.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Uses a different spectrum

0:01:29 > 0:01:33to see under the poles and beam back pictures.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43What the hell...?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Mars. 1881. Or thereabouts.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45According to the TARDIS, that's when the message was made.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Though we may be a bit early.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50- So, there were humans on Mars in Victorian times?- No.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52There weren't.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57The TARDIS registered multiple life forms below the surface,

0:02:57 > 0:02:59so this seems like the best place to look.

0:02:59 > 0:03:04Maybe someone's been messing around with time. Like in The Terminator.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05The Terminator?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07It's a movie. You haven't seen it?

0:03:07 > 0:03:08I'm a very busy man.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11You'd like it. It's got killer robots.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Ooh, I'll put it on the list.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Even if there are people here, why would they bother writing

0:03:17 > 0:03:19messages on the surface of the planet?

0:03:19 > 0:03:20State visit? Patriotic fervour?

0:03:22 > 0:03:23Rogue graffiti artist?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Doctor...

0:03:29 > 0:03:31I see it.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47If there's fire, there's got to be oxygen!

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Wait, wait! Let's not be rash.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50- OK. - I'll go first.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54What are you doing?!

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Fire. Oxygen. Basic physics, isn't it?

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Could've been basic death!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Wait, how can there be oxygen here?

0:04:06 > 0:04:08The indigenous Martians were superb engineers.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Mind you, there's a lot here that doesn't make sense.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16It's like the underground tunnels in The Thing.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18The what?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21It's a movie. You'd like that one too. Everybody dies.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28SHE SCREAMS

0:04:28 > 0:04:30SHE GROANS

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Bill? Bill?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Bill! Bill!

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Hang on! We'll find a way down!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Go back to the TARDIS! Get ropes. Lifting gear.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Anything you can find!

0:04:43 > 0:04:44HE WHIMPERS

0:04:58 > 0:05:00HE MUTTERS

0:05:00 > 0:05:06VWORP

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Nardole, what the hell are you doing?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24WHIRRING

0:05:28 > 0:05:31THUDDING

0:05:41 > 0:05:43THUDDING APPROACHES

0:06:01 > 0:06:05So this could go very well or very badly.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Halt!

0:06:31 > 0:06:34I say! We weren't expecting company!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Right.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Er... Yeah.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Right.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02By the moons, I honour thee. I am the Doctor.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05What is your name?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07RASPING

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I know your people of old.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I was once an Honorary Guardian of the Tythonian Hive.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15CLICK

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Don't move. I'll sort this beggar out.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19No, no, no, no! You don't understand!

0:07:19 > 0:07:22This creature is no threat! He may look like a monster to you...

0:07:22 > 0:07:24GUNSHOT

0:07:24 > 0:07:25I wasn't talking to you.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Are you all right, Friday?

0:07:30 > 0:07:31- HOARSELY:- Sir.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Who are you and what the devil are you doing here?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36I could ask you the same question. And I will!

0:07:39 > 0:07:42VWORP

0:07:58 > 0:07:59ELECTRONIC BEEPING

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Hello.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Hello, Miss?

0:08:04 > 0:08:07I was wondering if I could ask for your help?

0:08:07 > 0:08:08I need to get to Mars.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well, I need to get back to Mars, in fact.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15Um...and...it's a little bit urgent, only the TARDIS is acting up.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18I was wondering if you could tell me how to fix...

0:08:18 > 0:08:19'Course I can.'

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Oh, right. Thank you.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26'But it's probably easier if I just show you.'

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Oh. Erm...

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Indian or China, m'dear?

0:08:35 > 0:08:40Erm. I... I dunno. China?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46- WHISPERS:- Where's Nardole?

0:08:46 > 0:08:51Erm... He seems to have taken the TARDIS.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- What?!- I'm sure it's only a temporary thing

0:08:55 > 0:09:01but it means that for the time being, we're stuck here on Mars.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03You were saying, Colonel?

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Oh, well, yes, I was stationed out there. South Africa.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10One day, I came across something in the veldt.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Something that was clearly not of this earth.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15An interplanetary vessel!

0:09:15 > 0:09:19I found Friday here on board. In a sort of coma.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20Half dead.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Why do you call him that?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Man Friday? As in Robinson Crusoe?

0:09:28 > 0:09:35So, according to this you've been on board Friday's ship the whole time?

0:09:35 > 0:09:40Yes. We were... That sounds... That sounds...

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Convincing?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yes, that's right. On his ship.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Well, I suppose it was pretty roomy, what!

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Yes!

0:09:53 > 0:09:54THEY ALL CHUCKLE

0:09:54 > 0:09:56- It was! Yes. Wasn't it? - Yes.- Very roomy.

0:09:56 > 0:10:02But the whole, you know, getting on board... I mean, that's all...

0:10:02 > 0:10:07It's all a bit hazy. Maybe you could tell us everything.

0:10:07 > 0:10:13Yes, well...after I woke him up, Friday asked for my help.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14To repair his spaceship?

0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Yes. And to bring him home. - In return for what?

0:10:18 > 0:10:24Ah. Well, now. That is the question.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26BOOM

0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Prepare to fire! - At the double!

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Go, go, go!

0:10:32 > 0:10:36'Friday helped us build the Gargantua, a remarkable piece

0:10:36 > 0:10:39'of mining equipment fashioned from one of his ship's artillery.'

0:10:46 > 0:10:51'He promised us gemstones, you see, silver...gold...

0:10:51 > 0:10:53'Treasure beyond our wildest dreams.'

0:10:53 > 0:10:55That's why you helped him come home.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01To claim Mars in the name of Queen Victoria.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04To loot it of its riches. Stake a claim.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06The red planet turned pink.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10That was the general idea, old love. But there's nothing here.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Whole show's been a ruddy wash out. The ship crashed on landing.

0:11:15 > 0:11:20I go top side now and then to see if I can repair the beggar.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22That's what I was doing when I ran across you.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- And?- No joy so far.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29It could have been a fresh start. For all of us.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34But now supplies are running as low as morale.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Things are pretty desperate, I'm afraid.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41RINGING

0:11:41 > 0:11:44THUDDING FOOTSTEPS

0:11:53 > 0:11:55You've told us why you came here.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56What does he get out of it?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Nothing.- Nothing?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03He was hoping to find his people.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05But it appears he was asleep on that ship

0:12:05 > 0:12:06much longer than he anticipated.

0:12:06 > 0:12:11Mars is dead. Dead as a coffin nail.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Friday is the last of his kind.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Is he now?

0:12:18 > 0:12:19You know what Friday is then?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21He's an Ice Warrior.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25And they're the proper Martians right? They belong here?

0:12:25 > 0:12:30Yes. The indigenous species. An ancient reptilian race.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34They built themselves a sort of bio-mechanical armour for protection.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37The creature within is at one with its carapace.

0:12:37 > 0:12:42The Ice Warriors, they could build a city under the sand

0:12:42 > 0:12:46yet drench the snows of Mars with innocent blood.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50They could slaughter whole civilisations,

0:12:50 > 0:12:52yet weep at the crushing of a flower.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Like The Vikings.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Yes. Yes, very much.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Yeah, Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis! The theme tune is amazing!

0:13:06 > 0:13:10There's this brilliant bit where his eye gets gouged out...

0:13:10 > 0:13:12RASPING

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Why have you really come back?

0:13:26 > 0:13:30I am old and tired and spent.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41WHOOSHING

0:13:41 > 0:13:42EXPLOSION

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Now then, Vincey. Look lively, lad.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50What's the point, though?

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Jackdaw...

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Months we've been digging 'ere and what have we got to show for it?

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Sweet Fanny Adams, that's what.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58- OTHERS:- Yeah!

0:13:58 > 0:14:01What old Friday promised, it's a load of gammon!

0:14:01 > 0:14:03EXPLOSION

0:14:06 > 0:14:07- Jackdaw...- What...?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38You must come at once, sir. The Gargantua!

0:14:38 > 0:14:41She's... She's uncovered something!

0:14:45 > 0:14:46Good Lord!

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Looks like old Friday came good after all, eh?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56It's beautiful. What is it?

0:14:56 > 0:14:58A tomb?

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Not just any tomb.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05This is the tomb of an Ice Queen.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I have a bad feeling about this.

0:15:13 > 0:15:19These sarcophagi were sometimes part of a complex hibernation system.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Sergeant Major, get these civilians out of here.- No!

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Colonel, colonel, you have to let me examine this.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29I think not, Doctor. This is a military matter.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31This may not just be a grave you've uncovered.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34This could be the entrance to an Ice Warrior Hive.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38A what? Sergeant Major Peach! I gave you an order...

0:15:38 > 0:15:40I am in charge here, Catchlove!

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yes, sir. Of course, sir.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Post a guard.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- No-one is to go near this thing until the morning, is that clear? - Yes, sir!

0:15:50 > 0:15:52The last thing I'm going to do is take sides.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56But isn't it obvious? Friday has been using you all along.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00His aim was to get back to Mars and find his Queen.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Nonsense! He was leading us to the riches he promised us.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06The simple fact is, you don't belong here.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08The sooner you get off this planet, the better!

0:16:08 > 0:16:15Don't belong?! We're British! Mars is part of the empire now.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31What happened to not taking sides?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'm trying to save their lives!

0:16:33 > 0:16:37Let's face it, in this scenario, the humans are the invaders.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40On the other hand, the Ice Warriors have vastly superior armaments

0:16:40 > 0:16:42which will wipe the humans out.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44So what am I supposed to do?

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Here you go, Sarge.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Much obliged, I'm sure, Jackdaw. - Don't I get none?

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- RHIP, son.- Eh?

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Rank has its privileges.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Christ alive, look at the gild on that thing!

0:17:09 > 0:17:12That would set a fella up for life, Vincey.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13Even just a little bit of it.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Now then, you 'orrible old man,

0:17:19 > 0:17:22don't go getting no fancy notions.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25I'm sure the colonel will be distributing this munificence

0:17:25 > 0:17:28in a fair and decent fashion,

0:17:28 > 0:17:31and we can all look forward to...

0:17:31 > 0:17:33to a...

0:17:33 > 0:17:35a rosy...

0:17:36 > 0:17:37..future...

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Sarge?!

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Jackdaw! What have you done?

0:17:42 > 0:17:44A quietner from the infirmary.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47He'll be as right as ninepence come dawn.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- But by then, I'll be gone.- Gone?

0:17:50 > 0:17:51Gone where?

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Case you've forgotten, we're marooned on ruddy Mars!

0:17:53 > 0:17:56You don't know what I know, son.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00Captain Catchlove's further on with his repairs than he's let on.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Oh, yes, my old love, Jackdaw's going home,

0:18:04 > 0:18:07but this time, he'll be minted!

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Come on. Give us a hand.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Right!

0:18:16 > 0:18:17Keep an eye out, will you?

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Nah, you ain't getting me involved in this lark, Jackdaw!

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Go on! Be a sport!

0:18:22 > 0:18:26You'll get your share of the rhino, I promise!

0:18:56 > 0:18:59# It's the same the whole world over... #

0:19:01 > 0:19:03HE STRAINS

0:19:05 > 0:19:09# ..It's the poor what gets the blame... #

0:19:09 > 0:19:11HE GRUNTS

0:19:14 > 0:19:19# ..It's the rich what gets the pleasure

0:19:23 > 0:19:26# Ain't it all a bleedin' shame! #

0:19:26 > 0:19:28HE LAUGHS

0:19:28 > 0:19:30CREAKING AND HISSING

0:19:37 > 0:19:39CLATTERING

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Someone's coming, Jackdaw!

0:19:58 > 0:19:59We'll ruddy swing for this!

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Jackdaw!

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Come on, mate. Don't muck about...

0:20:11 > 0:20:12Jackdaw?

0:20:13 > 0:20:18What manner of fleshy worm are you?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21SLOW, HEAVY FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:20:37 > 0:20:38Speak.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43What the hell...?

0:20:43 > 0:20:45GUNSHOT

0:20:46 > 0:20:49That was...unwise.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51WEAPON POWERS UP

0:20:51 > 0:20:53HE SCREAMS

0:20:56 > 0:20:58SHE HISSES

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Your Majesty.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12By the moons, I honour thee, Iraxxa.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14My Empress! My Queen!

0:21:14 > 0:21:16My Sentinel.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18You have fulfilled your pledge.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21I am resurrected!

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Forgive me, Majesty,

0:21:23 > 0:21:27but we have slept longer than anticipated.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29By my calculations, Majesty,

0:21:29 > 0:21:34we have slept for 5,000 years.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Colonel, let me speak to them. I can do this. I can sort this out.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Who the devil is this?

0:21:54 > 0:21:55She is Iraxxa,

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Empress of Mars.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00The deuce she is! And you think you can just go about

0:22:00 > 0:22:03slaughtering my men willy-nilly, do you, madam?

0:22:03 > 0:22:04"Your men"?

0:22:04 > 0:22:07What does the pink thing say?

0:22:07 > 0:22:08Pink thing?!

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Sergeant Major, call to arms!

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- No! No! Wait, Catchlove! Wait! - WEAPON POWERS UP

0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Honour must be satisfied. An eye for an eye!- I- am in command here!

0:22:18 > 0:22:19All right.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31By the moons, I honour thee.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34I'm the Doctor...

0:22:36 > 0:22:37..and I beg leave to intercede.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- You know my race?- I do.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45And I ask mercy for these primitives.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47- "Primitives"?!- Shhhh!

0:22:51 > 0:22:56Majesty, the world you knew is dead. SHE HISSES

0:22:56 > 0:22:59The atmosphere has all but evaporated.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01The surface is lifeless.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06If there are others who sleep here,

0:23:06 > 0:23:08they cannot survive on Mars without help.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12You must cooperate if you are to survive.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14He speaks the truth, Majesty.

0:23:14 > 0:23:20The war, all that we fought for, is less than the dust now.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25And you!

0:23:25 > 0:23:26Female.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30What do you say?

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Me?

0:23:31 > 0:23:36We are both surrounded by...noisy males.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41I would value your opinion.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Yeah, yeah, yeah, er...

0:23:49 > 0:23:51They're not lying to you.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55There's no need for anyone else to die today.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58The humans saved his life.

0:23:58 > 0:23:59Is this true?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02His cryogenic cell was damaged. They saved him.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06And made him their pet!

0:24:06 > 0:24:08It was necessary to dissemble, Majesty.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11I thought only of your resurrection.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14It was a tactical decision...

0:24:14 > 0:24:16An Ice Warrior's duty is to command!

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Fight, yes,

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Down! Put your gun down. Halt!

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Your Majesty, are you all right?

0:24:48 > 0:24:51You ask for mercy for these creatures?

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Indeed.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Then I grant it.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Thank you.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04They will die...

0:25:04 > 0:25:06quickly.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27- We have the Gargantua! Is she primed and aimed, Sergeant?- Yes, sir!

0:25:27 > 0:25:31- No, no, I forbid you, that is not a weapon!- "Forbid"? You forbid(?)

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Listen to me, men!

0:26:17 > 0:26:20The colonel is not what he appears!

0:26:21 > 0:26:23The hero of Isandlwana(!)

0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Show them your famous wound, Colonel.- No, no. No, please!

0:26:26 > 0:26:28- No, please...- Show them! - FABRIC RIPS

0:26:30 > 0:26:31The mark of a rope!

0:26:31 > 0:26:33While you were fighting for Queen and country,

0:26:33 > 0:26:37the colonel here was dancing the Newgate polka!

0:26:37 > 0:26:43This is the mark of the rope that failed to hang him for desertion!

0:26:45 > 0:26:48They tried to hang him, but they bungled it.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51He's a paper tiger. Not fit to command!

0:26:51 > 0:26:54Look, it doesn't matter who's in charge of your stupid expedition!

0:26:54 > 0:26:57You don't stand a chance against the Ice Warriors!

0:26:57 > 0:26:59- What, all two of 'em? - There'll be more, you idiot!

0:26:59 > 0:27:01The Hive is active.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Don't you see? They'll do anything to defend their home planet.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Well, I dare say the British Army

0:27:07 > 0:27:12is more than a match for a bunch of upright crocodiles.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Sergeant Major!- Sir? - I'm assuming command.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18Take the colonel and put him in the brig.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22- Sergeant Major Peach, I gave you an order.- Very good, sir.

0:27:22 > 0:27:23Private!

0:27:38 > 0:27:41If you'd be so good as to come this way, sir?

0:27:41 > 0:27:45Oh, and for the last time, get these wretched people out of my sight.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49Put them in the brig, too. There's no room for civilians here.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55This isn't over, Catchlove.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57No. It ain't.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Not now Neville Catchlove's in charge!

0:28:07 > 0:28:08You'll regret this!

0:28:10 > 0:28:12In a couple of hours, you'll be begging for help!

0:28:14 > 0:28:19It will take time to revive all my Warriors.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21But perhaps enough are awoken

0:28:21 > 0:28:25to go on the offensive.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28CLANKING, THEY HISS

0:28:28 > 0:28:33If either of those creatures get out of there, we'll be ready for them.

0:28:33 > 0:28:34Yes, sir.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Carry on, Sergeant Major. - We won't let you down, sir.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47SONIC SCREWDRIVER TRILLS There's no setting for wood!

0:28:47 > 0:28:51- Why is there still no setting for wood?!- But...you've got a plan?

0:28:51 > 0:28:54Yes, of course, I've got a plan. I'm all plans. I'm MADE of plans!

0:28:54 > 0:28:56Who the deuce are you two, really?

0:28:56 > 0:29:00You speak of us as though we're a different species.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03You seem to know all about these...these Ice Warriors.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05You seem to know a lot about most things.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08- Well, we're sort of police. - Speak for yourself!

0:29:08 > 0:29:10HE LAUGHS

0:29:12 > 0:29:16What, you can deal big green Martians and...and...rocket ships,

0:29:16 > 0:29:18but you can't deal with us being the police?

0:29:18 > 0:29:19No, no, no, no, no...

0:29:19 > 0:29:22It's just such a fanciful notion. A woman in the police force...!

0:29:22 > 0:29:24HE CHUCKLES

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Listen, yeah,

0:29:26 > 0:29:31I'm going to make allowances for your Victorian attitudes because...

0:29:31 > 0:29:34well, you actually are Victorian...

0:29:35 > 0:29:37But...anyway!

0:29:37 > 0:29:39Is it true? You deserted?

0:29:41 > 0:29:42Why?

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Oh, cowardice.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47Simple cowardice.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52I thought I had it in me to command, Miss Potts,

0:29:52 > 0:29:55but when push came to shove, I...I flunked it.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Deserted my post.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01Catchlove was the only one who knew and he's bled me dry.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06- HE SIGHS - Could have been a fresh start,

0:30:06 > 0:30:07for all of us.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13- How's it looking out there? - All quiet.

0:30:14 > 0:30:18It's traditional, at this point, to say, "too quiet".

0:30:25 > 0:30:27LOW CHATTER

0:30:33 > 0:30:37Always liked the colonel, I did. Seemed a decent chap.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40Well, we must take orders from the captain now, son.

0:30:40 > 0:30:41Them's the rules.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43Sir.

0:30:46 > 0:30:47Blimey, Sarge.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49This is a queer 'un, ain't it?

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Something to tell your kids. I mean...Martians...?!

0:30:52 > 0:30:56You just face front and mark your man when you see him, Vincey lad.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Martian or no Martian.

0:30:58 > 0:30:59Wait till Alice hears all this.

0:31:01 > 0:31:02Set a date, have you, son?

0:31:02 > 0:31:04You and your Alice?

0:31:04 > 0:31:07Not yet. I want to have enough put by to make us comfy.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11And then we'll get married in that little church

0:31:11 > 0:31:12with the twisted spire back home.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Down by the river.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20It's so green there, Sarge. It's beautiful.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24I miss the trees and the grass!

0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where are you going?- I'm sorry, Doctor.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25Blue funk. Can't help it.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27I can't do it! I'm sorry!

0:33:32 > 0:33:35- I need a distraction. - You got one.- Good luck!

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Oi, Queenie!

0:33:46 > 0:33:48Let's talk!

0:33:48 > 0:33:49Woman-to-woman!

0:33:52 > 0:33:56- You valued my opinion before. - Perhaps.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59But this is war.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03Why? Why does it have to be war?

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Your Majesty, she's right.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08You have forged a new alliance, I see.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12We can stand together.

0:34:12 > 0:34:13It's too late.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Mars stands alone!

0:34:15 > 0:34:17We are strong.

0:34:35 > 0:34:39Well, geography was never my strong suit,

0:34:39 > 0:34:42but aren't we underneath Mars's north pole?

0:34:42 > 0:34:47Over our heads, millions of tonnes of snow and ice.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49One good blast from the Gargantua here

0:34:49 > 0:34:52and your army would be on ice forever.

0:34:54 > 0:34:55like...

0:34:57 > 0:34:59..like Frozen!

0:34:59 > 0:35:00It's a movie.

0:35:02 > 0:35:06You would destroy yourself at the same time!

0:35:06 > 0:35:08That's a price worth paying, isn't it?

0:35:08 > 0:35:11It's a simple choice, Iraxxa, the oldest one in the book.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13We must live together.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Or die together.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21SHE HISSES

0:35:30 > 0:35:32No choice, old boy.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35You see, I suddenly remembered I need a bit of a hand

0:35:35 > 0:35:37getting that ruddy ship off the ground.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40And who better to ask than the Ice Queen herself?

0:35:42 > 0:35:46Call off your dogs, Your Majesty. Call them off!

0:36:04 > 0:36:06If you want to escape, I can help.

0:36:06 > 0:36:10Just leave Iraxxa with her people. Don't mess this up.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Thank you, Doctor.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14But, um...

0:36:14 > 0:36:16I think I prefer my plan.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Gentlemen!

0:36:20 > 0:36:23It's been a privilege - however brief - to command you.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25But all good things come to an end.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28I think you'll find, Captain...

0:36:32 > 0:36:34HE GASPS

0:36:41 > 0:36:47You sacrificed one of your own without tactical advantage...?

0:36:47 > 0:36:50No, I didn't sacrifice him. I executed him.

0:36:50 > 0:36:55Do you now expect your life to be spared?

0:36:55 > 0:36:58No, no, no! I expect it to be taken.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00And I give it willingly.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03- No. No, wait, stop this! Doctor, stop him!- Shh!

0:37:07 > 0:37:11Some time ago, I was hanged for cowardice.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13The execution took longer than expected

0:37:13 > 0:37:16and I fear I have not used my time well.

0:37:16 > 0:37:20I should be happy for you to complete the work

0:37:20 > 0:37:22they failed to do so long ago.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25It will be a pleasure.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27- No, please, don't do this. - Bill, quiet!

0:37:27 > 0:37:30- WEAPON POWERS UP - He saved your life!

0:37:30 > 0:37:33Your Majesty, I have a request, if that may be permitted.

0:37:33 > 0:37:34Speak!

0:37:34 > 0:37:36That man was not one of us.

0:37:36 > 0:37:41Please, do not judge mankind by his cruelty or indeed by my cowardice.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Spare my friends and my world.

0:37:43 > 0:37:48Your request does you credit, soldier.

0:38:10 > 0:38:13..but not today.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18In battle, soldier.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24To die in battle is the way of the warrior.

0:38:24 > 0:38:30Pledge your allegiance to me and my world,

0:38:30 > 0:38:35and I will ensure you have the opportunity.

0:38:35 > 0:38:40My life and my service are yours.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42To the end.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45To the death, my friend,

0:38:45 > 0:38:48to the death.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55- You knew that would happen. - Always been my problem.

0:38:55 > 0:38:56What?

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Thinking like a warrior.

0:39:03 > 0:39:04SCRAPING CLANK

0:39:04 > 0:39:07TRILLING AND HUMMING

0:39:21 > 0:39:26There we are. I've sent out a sort of round-robin e-mail.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30All being well, the first intelligent, space-going system

0:39:30 > 0:39:32will be in touch fairly soon.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34- IRAXXA:- Thank you, Doctor.

0:39:34 > 0:39:40Mars is dead, but the Ice Warriors will live on.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47- Will they make it?- Oh, yes.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51In fact, this might be the beginning of the Martian Golden Age.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54- WOMAN:- 'Are you receiving us? Mars, are you receiving?'

0:39:54 > 0:40:00This is Iraxxa, Queen Empress of Mars.

0:40:00 > 0:40:05'Ah, excellent! We have received details of your situation.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08'We would be happy to send a fleet to your aid at once.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10'A physical marker of some sort

0:40:10 > 0:40:15- 'would be appreciated to guide our ships.'- To whom am I speaking?

0:40:15 > 0:40:18'This is Alpha Centauri.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21'Welcome to the universe!'

0:40:28 > 0:40:30THEY GRUNT

0:40:33 > 0:40:34Big enough?

0:40:34 > 0:40:36For the ship to see?

0:40:36 > 0:40:37I think so.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44You going to be OK?

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Well, that's twice I've been executed.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48Whatever happens now, it's got to be better than I expected.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52There's nothing for me back on Earth.

0:40:52 > 0:40:56And to help forge a new world, well, that will be my privilege.

0:40:56 > 0:40:57HE SIGHS

0:40:57 > 0:40:59It seems a shame, though...

0:40:59 > 0:41:01What does?

0:41:02 > 0:41:06Well, no-one back on Earth will ever know that we got here.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08All will be forgotten.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Oh, not quite forgotten, Colonel.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14You've changed the mind-set of a very stubborn Martian monarch.

0:41:16 > 0:41:21And one day, even though the ice cap may obscure it...

0:41:22 > 0:41:24..someone's going to notice THAT.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43VWORP

0:41:48 > 0:41:50DEEP THUD

0:41:51 > 0:41:55So, what did I miss?

0:41:55 > 0:41:56Where have you been?!

0:41:56 > 0:42:00Yeah, before you go getting all frowny, er...

0:42:00 > 0:42:02Well, er...

0:42:20 > 0:42:21Are you all right?

0:42:24 > 0:42:25This can't happen.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30This is not what we agreed to.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33I'm going to have to put you back in the Vault. You know that.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35Sure, that's fine.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38What?

0:42:38 > 0:42:41But, Doctor. Please tell me, really.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Are you all right?

0:42:50 > 0:42:52The Ninth Legion and the Keeper Of The Gate.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54- They disappeared. - Except they didn't.

0:42:54 > 0:42:58Where is my friend and what destroyed the Roman army?

0:42:58 > 0:43:01Something here managed to wipe out 5,000 Romans.

0:43:01 > 0:43:02SHE SCREAMS

0:43:02 > 0:43:04SCREECHING

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Every hour of sunlight that feeds it,

0:43:06 > 0:43:10makes the world darker and the beast stronger.
