0:00:36 > 0:00:38Doctor! Doctor! Look out!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Where's he gone? Have you seen him? - There he is. Stop! No!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Watch out!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52There! There!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58LOW GROWLING
0:00:58 > 0:01:01WATER DRIPS
0:01:04 > 0:01:06LOW GROWLS
0:01:21 > 0:01:24That's what it did. It went ROAR!
0:01:24 > 0:01:30And if you think that was the most exciting day of my life, wait till you hear the rest.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Oh, boy!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11So there I was, with that thing going ROAR!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Here boy, eat the food. Come on.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Look at the lovely food. Isn't that nice? Yes, it is!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Get out of here, quickly!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Who would like a porkie choppie, then? I said, "RUN!"
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Wrong one! You've made it worse!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- You said, "Blue!"- I said NOT blue!
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Hold on.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Ahhh!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Aaagh!- Aaagh!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Hold on.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Don't I know you?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18TARDIS WHIRRS
0:03:18 > 0:03:21You can't imagine it. The Doctor's machine.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25The most beautiful sound in the world.
0:03:25 > 0:03:31That wasn't the first time I met the Doctor and it certainly wasn't the last. Oh, no!
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I just put that bit at the beginning because it's a brilliant opening.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41This is the story of me and my encounters with alien life forms.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44But be warned!
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Because it is gonna get sca-a-ary.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I need a remote control zoom.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I'm having to do that with the lean, sca-a-a-ary.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59But look, don't worry, cos it's not just me sitting here talking. Oh, no.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- That's Ursula on camera.- Hello!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06My good friend, Ursula Blake. On my brand new camera.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10That was my family home, down there.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I did try, but there's two women live there now.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16They're a bit severe.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Never mind, but that's where it all started.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Cos that's when I first met the Doctor.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28What was it, I must've been three or four years old.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Middle of the night I went downstairs
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and there was this...man.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41What happened?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Elton? Tell me. Why was he there?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I dunno. Still don't know.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52All those years ago.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59OK! First things first.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03My name is Elton, not to be confused with...
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I left school. I got a job, transport manager for Rita Logistics,
0:05:08 > 0:05:13modest little haulage company, perfectly normal life, and then...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15it all went mad!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Two years ago, I was in town.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I was stocking up, nothing special, all the usual stuff.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23When all of a sudden...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26PEOPLE SCREAM
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Shop window dummies!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Come to life!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I survived... Obviously.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Twelve months later, I'm back in town,
0:05:51 > 0:05:56looking for a new suit, when I hear this plane overhead.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07DONG!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12But it wasn't over yet! Cos then, Christmas Day...
0:06:12 > 0:06:17I'm in bed, fast asleep, nice and cosy, when all of a sudden...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Like, ptscccchhhh!
0:06:20 > 0:06:25I'm stuck in bed cos there's glass everywhere and I was barefoot.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31I had to invent this rudimentary pulley system just to reach my boots and by the time I'd done that...
0:06:38 > 0:06:41that's when it all started happening.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- That's how I met Ursula. - His name is the Doctor. - That's how I met Victor Kennedy.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47You stupid man!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- That's how I met Jackie Tyler. - You don't meet many Elton's.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53And that's how I finally met the Doctor...
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and realised the truth.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05I should say,
0:07:05 > 0:07:10this isn't my whole life - it's not all spaceships and stuff.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Cos I'm into all sorts of things.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I like football.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I like a drink. I like Spain.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22And if there's one thing I really, really love,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26then it's Jeff Lynne and the Electric Light Orchestra.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Cos you can't beat a bit of ELO.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36# The sun is shining in the sky
0:07:36 > 0:07:39# There ain't a cloud in sight
0:07:39 > 0:07:41# It's stopped raining
0:07:41 > 0:07:43# Everybody's in the play
0:07:43 > 0:07:46# And don't you know it's a beautiful day
0:07:47 > 0:07:49# Hey, hey, hey... #
0:07:50 > 0:07:52So!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Great big spaceship hanging over London, imagine the theories!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58The internet went into meltdown!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00But I kept on digging.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Something was going on.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Oh, yes! And then one day, on some obscure little blog
0:08:06 > 0:08:13by someone called Ursula Blake, it was like a chance in a million.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19'It was him. It was that man again, but the photo was new, it was taken on Christmas Day.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25- 'But Christmas just gone and he looked exactly the same.' - His name is the Doctor.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Doctor what?- That's all anyone knows.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32But Christmas Day, I was taking photos all over the place.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I went mad with it all, spaceships and lasers and everything.
0:08:36 > 0:08:42We all went to Trafalgar Square that night, cos everyone was celebrating, just being alive.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I snapped him in passing, that's all. He was just some bloke.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I didn't realise he was significant, until Mr Skinner pointed it out.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Who's Mr Skinner?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Oh, there's a few of us.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59The inner sanctum. All studying this Doctor.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I've seen him, the Doctor, I swear to you.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I saw him when I was a kid. He was in my house and he was downstairs.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- Don't tell me. He looked exactly the same then as he does now.- Yes!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yes!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Oh, my God, you believe me!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23'So that's how I met Ursula. All thanks to the Doctor.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27'Turns out we read all the same sites and she only lived half a mile away.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31She was like a proper mate. Poor Ursula.'
0:09:34 > 0:09:38But like she said, there was this little community, the select few,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41all with their stories of the Doctor.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45'This little gang used to meet up, underneath the old library on Maccateer Street.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50'Mr Skinner, first name Colin, but we always called him Mr Skinner.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- 'I don't know why, we just did.' - To me, the Doctor isn't a man,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58he's more a collection of archetypes...
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- 'Then there was Bridget.'- All these different Doctors come and go,
0:10:02 > 0:10:08but the single constant factor is this faux-police box. It keeps cropping up, throughout history.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12'She lived way up north but she travelled down just for the meetings.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- 'Then there was Bliss...' - What I'm trying to do,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18is sum up the Doctor, what he means to us.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20'She was ever so sweet, Bliss.
0:10:20 > 0:10:26- '"Bless Bliss," we used to say.' - What he could represent and what he should represent
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and what he...
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- never won't represent, sort of thing.- We should have a name.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37You know, as a group.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Names are very important.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44What we need is a good, strong name, like a team, something like...
0:10:44 > 0:10:48London Investigation 'n' Detective Agency.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- LINDA for short.- Say it again?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54London Investigation 'n' Detective Agency.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- 'N'?- Fish 'n' chips!
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Rock 'n' roll! Chakademus 'n' Pliers!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- LINDA! Oh, I like it, it's not too solemn!- I like the 'N'!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- We're the men from LINDA! - And the women!- LINDA united!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Did you think of that on the spot? - No, I've wanted to use it for years.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- I give you, LINDA! - ALL: LINDA!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16So we'd all meet up, every week.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19We'd talk about the Doctor for a bit,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21but after a while, Bridget started cooking.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Oh, my God, that's gorgeous!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27No, really. Wow! Oh, rest of you, get your hands off!
0:11:27 > 0:11:32'Next thing you know, Mr Skinner started his readings, cos he was writing his own novel.'
0:11:32 > 0:11:37"That's the last time you ride the Ghost Train, Johnny Franzetta, now say your prayers!"
0:11:37 > 0:11:40To be continued.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- No-o-o-o!- 'Time went on, we got to know each other better and better.'
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I only started all this because my daughter disappeared.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52But it wasn't aliens that took her away.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56It was just drugs.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01I come down to London every week and I just keep looking for her.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Oh, Bridget...
0:12:08 > 0:12:11# I gave my love a chicken
0:12:11 > 0:12:15# It had no bone
0:12:16 > 0:12:19# I gave my love a cherry
0:12:19 > 0:12:23# It had no stone... #
0:12:23 > 0:12:28# I've got a brand new pair of roller-skates
0:12:28 > 0:12:30# You've got a brand-new key... #
0:12:30 > 0:12:33'Then it turned out that Bridget could play the piano
0:12:33 > 0:12:38and I confessed my love of ELO. Next thing you know, musical LINDA!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50# You got me running going out of my mind
0:12:50 > 0:12:54# You got me thinking that I'm wasting my time
0:12:54 > 0:12:57# Don't bring me down... #
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Just for fun.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00# Don't bring me down... #
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Your go.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Grooves!- Your go.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Now, careful, mind the cables.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26'And that's when it all changed.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28'That Tuesday night in March.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31'That's when he arrived.'
0:13:33 > 0:13:39- Lights.- 'That's when we met Victor Kennedy and the Golden Age was gone.'
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So, we meet at last.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- "LINDA".- Pleased to meet you, sir. I'm sorry, was the music too loud?
0:13:46 > 0:13:47No, no, no, I don't shake hands.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Back, back. I suffer from a skin complaint.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- Ex-ee-ma.- Oh, you mean Eczema.
0:13:51 > 0:13:58Oh, this is worse, much worse, I blister to the touch. Back, back, all of you further, further.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Thank you.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Sorry, don't mind me asking, but who are you?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I am your salvation.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- That's the Doctor. - That's really him.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You've forgotten your purpose in life.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19You with your band and your cakes and your blubbing and all the while he still exists.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- The Doctor.- Look at him. Just look!
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Move back! Move back all of you.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Wait for this bit. The picture cuts out but the sound continues.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Listen. Just listen. Listen to the sound of the universe.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35SOUND OF THE TARDIS
0:14:40 > 0:14:43That's...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- What is it? What's wrong?- Leave him!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50You've heard it before, haven't you?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53When? When was it? Where? Where were you?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I'd forgotten...
0:14:55 > 0:14:58till now.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01But it was that night.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02What night?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05I was just a kid.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09That's why I went downstairs.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12It woke me up.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16That noise... TARDIS WHIRRS
0:15:19 > 0:15:21But what is it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:27- What does it mean? - That is the sound of his spaceship.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Right then! Homework! Using the Torchwood files,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33we can look at the old databases in a completely new light.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39We are able to build up a more detailed profile of the Doctor. I've allocated tasks to each of you.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I'd like you to... Careful! Watch the ex-ee-ma!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I would like you to complete your targets.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49We'll meet back here this time next week, one step closer to catching the Doctor.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Well, don't just sit there! Move!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Um, Bliss. It is Bliss, isn't it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Yes.- Could I have a word with you in private, please?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Course you can, yeah.- Thank you.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Goodbye, goodbye.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Better get to work. Lots to do.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- I never thought of it as work.- It's what we always wanted, though -
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- to find the Doctor.- Yeah, I suppose.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18GIRL SCREAMS
0:16:18 > 0:16:23All of a sudden, without anyone saying so, we were working for Victor Kennedy.
0:16:26 > 0:16:32'And we had to admit, he was right, his methods were much more rigorous.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36'It felt like we were getting closer and closer to the Doctor.'
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Mr Kennedy?- Yes.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44We were wondering... No sign of Bliss, do you know where she is?
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Yes. Didn't she tell you? She's getting married. She left a message.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53It'll never last. Stupid girl. Come on, back to work!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- But we did get lucky once. - A police box, newly-arrived...
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It says newly arrived today in Woolwich.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, don't just stand there! Move! Move! Go! Go!
0:17:04 > 0:17:08But don't get excited. That's where you came in.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Woolwich, police box, red bucket, blue bucket,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14me so stupid, etc...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Useless!- I just froze!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19You met him and you froze?! You stupid man!
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- You can't hit me cos you don't touch, you said so.- I can use this!
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Use that cane on him and you'll get one hell of a smack off me!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31And then a good kick. Is that completely understood, Mr Kennedy?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Duly noted.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Ursula Blake,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39most likely to fight back.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Right then! We'll change tack. We'll approach this sideways.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49If we're to discover the truth about the Doctor,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52then we should try to find...her.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56When it comes to the Doctor's companion, the Torchwood files are strangely lacking.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02It seems the evidence has been corrupted, something called Bad Wolf virus.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04At least we've got these photographs.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06They're first-hand evidence... Elton?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Oh, it was a London accent, definitely, she's from London.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13So we hit the streets. We get out there.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15We take the photograph. Someone's got to know who she is. Somewhere.
0:18:15 > 0:18:20Yes, but London's a big place. I should know - my own daughter's out there.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Bridget, don't make this personal.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29I don't like to be touched literally or metaphorically. I haven't got the time.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Find me that girl! Go!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Now! Move!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37'And so it began. The impossible task -
0:18:37 > 0:18:40'to scour the mean streets.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43'To search a major capital city for an unknown girl.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47To hunt down that face in a seething metropolis of lost souls,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50'to find that one girl in ten million.'
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Oh, that's Rose Tyler, she lives just down there,
0:18:54 > 0:19:00Bucknall House, number 48, her mother's Jackie Tyler. Nice family, bit odd.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08# Don't you know it's a beautiful new day
0:19:08 > 0:19:10# Hey, hey, hey... #
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Oi! Jackie! - Hello, sweetheart!
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I'll see you down the Spinning Wheel tonight, yeah? Pub quiz. Get 'em in!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29'I'd been trained for this.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33'Victor Kennedy's classes covered basic surveillance and espionage.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36'Step one, engage your target.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39'Find some excuse to start a conversation.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42'But how was I gonna do this?'
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- 'Scuse me, you couldn't give us quid for two fifties, could you?- Yeah.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Ta-dah!- Lovely, cheers.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57'Step Two, without provoking suspicion, get on
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- 'first-name terms with the target.' - My name's Jackie, by the way.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Um! Elton.- Oh, you don't meet many Eltons, do you?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Apart from the obvious.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16'Step three, ingratiate yourself with a joke or some humorous device.'
0:20:16 > 0:20:22I tell you what, Elton, here we are, complete strangers and I'm flashing you my knickers!
0:20:22 > 0:20:27'Step four, find some subtle way to integrate yourself into the target's household.'
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Mind you, I'm only down here cos my washing machine's knackered.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I don't suppose you're any good at fixing things, are you?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39There we are, it was the fuse!
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Nothing wrong with the machine, that's fine, all working.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Oh, Elton, I should have you on tap!
0:20:45 > 0:20:50I used to have this little mate called Mickey, he did all that stuff.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52He's gone now, bless him.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Well, if you need me, give us a call, I'll jot down my number.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59You do that, and I'll make us a cup of tea, go and sit down.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Put the telly on if you want,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I can't bear it silent.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14It's just me, these days, rattling about.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17There's my daughter, but she's gone travelling.
0:21:17 > 0:21:23- I keep her bedroom all nice and ready though, just in case she comes back.- And her name is?- Rose.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27That's a nice name - Rose.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29So, where is she travelling?
0:21:29 > 0:21:35All over. She's got her mobile, I get a call, now and then. Not as often as I'd like.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Still - that age, who can be bothered phoning home?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Who's she with, is it mates, or...? - Just mates.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Well, if I had you, making a nice cuppa tea like this, I wouldn't stray far from home.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55You're a charmer.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Say it again!
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Magnificent! Oh, I could kiss you, except I can't. The ex-ee-ma!
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- I even got a picture of her on my phone.- That's amazing.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10You've achieved Steps 1-4 in precise order, how did you manage it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Oh, I had to work hard. She keeps everything very close to her chest.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- That's hell of a chest. - But how do you move on?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Step five, that's the problem. - Step Five.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22This week's homework! I want a full plan of attack from each of you!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Now go on! Vamoose!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Avanti! There's work to do!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30And Elton, keep infiltrating!
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- You will do anything to get that information, boy, anything!- Yes, sir!
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Oh, oh, Bridget...
0:22:37 > 0:22:43- Bridget? Oh, yes. Could I have a word with you in private?- Um.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Mr Skinner's giving me a lift.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I can drop you to the station. I'm sure Mr Skinner won't mind?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Not at all.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Bridget, I'll see you next week. - All right, then.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Bye bye.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Now Mr Skinner, I don't mean to pry.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- But did you give Bridget a little kiss back there?- I think I did.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13- And, if you get your way, might there be more little kisses between the two of you?- I think there might.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- I knew it!- That's brilliant.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Now don't get excited. We'll see.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20WOMAN SCREAMS IN DISTANCE
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Infiltration went well, cos Jackie kept phoning up, needing this and needing that.
0:23:28 > 0:23:35It was strange, the amount of things that needed doing, it's like that flat was jinxed.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYS It's weird, these fuses keep blowing.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49You must be near a sub-station, cos then you get power surges.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Still, there we go, fixed!
0:23:53 > 0:23:57There we are. Little reward for my favourite handyman.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Oh, well I shouldn't really, I've got the car outside.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02You can always splash out on a taxi,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04or...whatever.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07See what happens.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Right, yeah. Cheers.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11Cheers!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Very nice, what's that, French?
0:24:17 > 0:24:23Suppose so. They know how to do things, the French.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Is that from Rose? I mean, is she in France?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29My daughter won't be coming back tonight, just in case you're wondering.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32We've got the place to ourselves.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Right.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Nice music.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Il Divo.- Yeah.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44You were saying.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Power surges. - From the sub-station, yeah.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Is that why it gets so hot in here?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- Is it hot?- Oh, I think so. You should take your jacket off.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- No, I'm fine.- Oh, look at you, you must be boiling. Oh, your shirt!
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Sorry!- No, I'm fine, it's all right. - I've ruined it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- No, honestly, it's fine.- Take it off, I'll put it in the wash.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Oh, come on, it's only a little drop.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09There now.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Ruined.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13And there I was.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16The ultimate Step Five!
0:25:16 > 0:25:18The perfect infiltration.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Target...
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Jackie Tyler.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27You're right - it is a bit hot! But it's about to get hotter!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I'll see you soon.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32All right, be careful. Bye.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Everything all right?
0:25:37 > 0:25:38That was my daughter.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Oh, look at you. I'm sorry.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I was just being stupid.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Is she OK?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50She's so far away.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I get left here sometimes...
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and I don't know where she is.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Anything could be happening to her, anything.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01And I just go a bit mad.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Put your shirt back on.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Where is she?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Doesn't matter.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I'm sorry.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18You'd better go.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Actually...
0:26:24 > 0:26:28'And that's when it struck me.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31'Funny, the things you think of, with your shirt off.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35'But that's when I realised what was really important.'
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Never mind about Rose.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I'm not even gonna ask.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44And I will put my shirt back on, because I am gonna go out and get us both a pizza.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Cos I reckon you need cheering up. She goes swanning off and who's left to care about you, eh?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53So I say, nice bit of pizza, we'll put the telly on nice and loud,
0:26:53 > 0:26:58we'll annoy that woman next door, just you and me, as proper mates. Yeah?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Mates! Go on,
0:27:01 > 0:27:03say, "Yes."
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Yes!
0:27:07 > 0:27:11All of a sudden, a lot of things made sense.
0:27:11 > 0:27:17I'd got so lost in conspiracies and aliens and targets, I'd been missing the obvious.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Cos I did like Jackie.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21But I liked someone else even more.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26# Hey you with the pretty face
0:27:26 > 0:27:29# Welcome to the human race
0:27:29 > 0:27:34# A celebration Mr Blue Sky's up there waiting
0:27:34 > 0:27:38# And today is the day we've waited for
0:27:38 > 0:27:40# Oh ho-ho
0:27:40 > 0:27:43# Mr Blue Sky, please tell us why...
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Right. Let's get inside, then.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50The pizza's getting cold.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I went in your coat.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55For once in my life, I thought, I'll pay.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58I thought, he's such a nice man, he won't accept anything
0:27:58 > 0:28:03so I'll just slip a tenner in his pocket and look what I found.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05A photograph of my daughter.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- No, no, no. It's not like that. I can explain.- I bet you can.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12I wasn't being pervy or anything, I wasn't after her.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13I was looking for the Doctor.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18Oh, I know that. I worked that out. Cos it's never me, is it?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21No, that's how it started, but I changed my mind.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Let me tell you something about those who get left behind.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Because it's hard and that's what you become. Hard.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34But if there's one thing I've learnt, it's that I will never let her down.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38And I will protect them both, until the end of my life.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42So whatever you want, I'm warning you. Back off.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- But Jackie, I only wanted to meet him.- I thought you liked me.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- I do.- Just get out of here!
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I said get out!
0:28:51 > 0:28:52And leave me alone!
0:28:59 > 0:29:01And she was right. It's shameful. We used that woman!
0:29:01 > 0:29:06I knew I couldn't trust you! You broke cover, you stupid little man, you failed Step Five.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I don't care about Step Five!
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Cos it's all gone wrong, Mr Kennedy, ever since you turned up.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17We used to come here, every week and we'd have a laugh.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19We were friends.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24No wonder they stopped coming, I mean there's no Bliss any more and even Bridget, she hasn't turned up.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- I've been phoning and phoning, there's no reply.- Who can blame her?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I'm sorry, Victor, but you're on your own.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Cos I'm leaving, and so are you, Mr Skinner.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38And as for you, Ursula, you're coming with me
0:29:38 > 0:29:42and we're going to the Golden Locust and we're gonna have a Chinese!
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- What's that got to do with it? - I mean, you and me, together.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Having a meal.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51If you want.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Oh, I'd love it!
0:29:55 > 0:29:58But you can't leave. You'll never know what he was doing.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02You'll never know what he was doing in your house, all those years ago.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06No, I'll never know.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Ursula?
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Get your stuff.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Mr Skinner, are you coming?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Not to the Chinese, if you don't mind, just sort of walking out.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- I certainly am!- Victor....
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Good luck.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Goodbye.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Mr Skinner?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31W-would you stay for a minute, please?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33We're walking out.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34I've got numbers for Bridget.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39I've kept records. I've got old numbers. We could track her down. Together, you and I.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42That's more like the old team spirit.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- You two have a nice time. - I hope you find her.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47I'll e-mail you.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Just come a little closer.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- Mm!- Yeah, I love prawns. DISTANT SCREAM
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Oh, I left my phone.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Really?- Yeah. It's not in my pocket.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04So much for the big exit.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Yeah. C'mon, hurry up.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I'm not stopping, I just left my...
0:31:15 > 0:31:17phone.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Victor?- Take your phone and go.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Where's Mr Skinner?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26He's gone to the toilet.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31But we haven't got toilets. We have to use the pub on the corner.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Well, that's where he is, then.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Help me!
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- What was that?- It was nothing. It was nothing!- Help me!- Get out.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44That's Mr Skinner.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Victor, look at your hands.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Look at the rest of me!
0:31:52 > 0:31:54You've dabbled with aliens.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Now meet the genuine article!
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Oh, my God!- You're a...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- thing.- A thing?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07This thing is my true form.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Better than that crude pink shape you call a body.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13What happened? Where am I?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Ursula, is that you?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18That's Mr Skinner.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- What have you done to him? - I've absorbed him.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Colin? Is that you? Colin?- Bridget, my love?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Oh, my God, that's Bridget!
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Colin, where are you? - I'm here, Bridget. It's all right.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32I'm close.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34You've absorbed them both.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37What about Bliss? Where is she?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39MUFFLED YELP What?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- I said you really don't want to know.- You've absorbed them.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46You're some sort of...
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Absorbathon. An Absorbaling.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52An Abzorbaloff!
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- Yes. I like that.- Let them go.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I'm ordering you.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Let those people go!
0:32:58 > 0:33:00But they taste so sweet.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Just think about the Doctor.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Oh, how will HE taste?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08All that experience, all that knowledge.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12And if I've got to absorb Jackie Tyler to get to him, then so be it.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Don't you dare!
0:33:14 > 0:33:18If I have to beat them out of you...
0:33:18 > 0:33:20No, no, please don't hit me!
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Look at me! I'm such a slow and clumsy beast.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Please don't hit me.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Well, then, give them back.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33What, you mean like this?!
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Just one touch! That's all it takes!
0:33:44 > 0:33:45- No!- No!
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Leave her alone!- Don't touch me.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Oh, Elton. I'm so sorry. You can't touch me.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Ursula!
0:33:56 > 0:33:58"Most likely to fight back" indeed!
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Leave her alone!
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Yes!- No! That's not fair!
0:34:19 > 0:34:20She tastes like chicken.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Elton, where are you?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Please.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Mr Kennedy, please.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30I'm asking you.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33I'm begging you.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Give her back to me.- I can't.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Once they've been absorbed, the process is irreversible.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Wait a minute.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Now I've been absorbed, I can read his thoughts!
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Oh, my God.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Elton, you're next! Get out of here!
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Now you've seen him, he can't let you go. Just run!
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Go on! Never mind me, get out!
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Isn't she the clever one?- Run, Elton!
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- RUN!- Save yourself, boy! - Run for your life!
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Oh, what's the matter?
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Have you given up so soon?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34There's no point.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Where would I go?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Everything I ever wanted...
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Has been absorbed. - Oh, Elton. Don't say that.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44But it's true!
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Then join us. Join us, little man.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Come on. There's everlasting peace. Come on, join us -
0:35:52 > 0:35:55dissolve into me.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01TARDIS WHIRRS
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Someone wants a word with you.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22You've upset my mum.
0:36:23 > 0:36:29A great big absorbing creature from outer space, and you're having a go at me?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- No-one upsets my mum.- At last.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35- The greatest feast of all - the Doctor.- Interesting.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Some sort of Absorbatrix.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Absorbaklon, Abzorbaloff...
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- Abzorbaloff, yes. - Is it me, or is he a bit Slitheen?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Not from Raxacoricofallapatorius, are you?
0:36:47 > 0:36:48No, I'm not! They're swine.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51I spit on them. I was born on their twin planet.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Really? What's the twin planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius?- Clom.
0:36:55 > 0:37:01- Clom?- Clom, yes. And I'll return there victorious, once I possess your travelling machine.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Well, that's never gonna happen. - Oh, it will.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09You'll surrender yourself to me, Doctor, or this one dies.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10You see, I've read about you, Doctor.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I've studied you. So passionate.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17So sweet. You wouldn't let an innocent man die.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22And I'll absorb him unless you give yourself to me.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Sweet, maybe.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Passionate, I suppose. But don't ever mistake that for nice.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Do what you want.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- He'll die, Doctor!- Go on, then.
0:37:39 > 0:37:45- So be it.- Mind you, the others might have something to say.- Others?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48He's right! The Doctor's right! We can't let him.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53Oh, Mr Skinner, Bridget, pull.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- No!- For God's sake, pull, if it's the last thing we ever do!
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Bliss! All of us, together -
0:38:00 > 0:38:02come on! Pull!
0:38:02 > 0:38:05LINDA united!
0:38:05 > 0:38:07PU-U-U-ULL!
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Elton! The cane! Break it!
0:38:15 > 0:38:16My cane!
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Y'stupid man!
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Oh, no!
0:38:26 > 0:38:31- What did I do? - The cane created a limitation field.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Now it's broken, he can't stop.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- The absorber is being absorbed. - By what?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41By the Earth.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Bye-bye, Elton.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Bye-bye.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Who was she?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06That was Ursula.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25And that's it.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Almost.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Because the Doctor still had more to say.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- You don't remember, do you? - And then he explained.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37That night, all those years ago...
0:39:37 > 0:39:40There was a shadow in your house.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44A living shadow in the darkness.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48An elemental shade had escaped from the Howling Halls.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51I stopped it, but...
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I wasn't in time to save her.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57I'm sorry.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Because that was the night my mother died.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48We forget because we must.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57So, there you go.
0:40:57 > 0:41:03Turns out I've had the most terrible things happen and the most brilliant things,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06and sometimes, well, I can't tell the difference -
0:41:06 > 0:41:10they're all the same thing, they're just me.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14You know, Stephen King said once, he said,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17"Salvation and damnation are the same thing,"
0:41:17 > 0:41:21and I never knew what he meant.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24But I do now...
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Cos the Doctor might be wonderful, but, thinking back,
0:41:28 > 0:41:30I was having such a special time.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Just for a bit, I had this nice little gang.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37# I'll tell you once more, before I get off the floor... #
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And they were destroyed.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43It's not his fault,
0:41:43 > 0:41:47but maybe that's what happens if you touch the Doctor,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49even for a second.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53I keep thinking of Rose and Jackie
0:41:53 > 0:41:56and how much longer before they pay the price?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Oh, now don't get all miserable.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Come on, Elton, you've still got me.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Oh, yeah,
0:42:03 > 0:42:08cos the Doctor said he could do one last thing with his magic wand.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13If I can key into the absorption matrix and separate the last victim...
0:42:13 > 0:42:16It's too late for total reconstruction, but...
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Elton! Fetch a spade!
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Even then, after all that,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27the Doctor saved me one last time.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- Here she is.- Could be worse.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38At least I'll never age.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41And it really is quite peaceful. You'd be surprised.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45It's a relationship. Of sorts.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47We manage.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49We've even got a bit of a love life.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Oh, let's not go into that.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56And I don't care what anyone thinks - I love her.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Aaah!
0:43:00 > 0:43:02But the thing is...
0:43:02 > 0:43:04There y'are.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06I've even bought a remote zoom.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10But what I wanted to say is...
0:43:12 > 0:43:14..y'know, when you're a kid,
0:43:14 > 0:43:19they tell you it's all "grow up, get a job, get married, get a house,
0:43:19 > 0:43:22"have a kid and that's it".
0:43:23 > 0:43:26No.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that...
0:43:31 > 0:43:33..and so much darker...
0:43:33 > 0:43:35and so much madder.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41And SO much better.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49- 30th Olympiad!- That's great!
0:43:51 > 0:43:55- They're not safe! - They're in the garden! - I'm begging you!
0:43:55 > 0:43:59In the last six days, three of your children have been stolen.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04If we find the source of that power...
0:44:04 > 0:44:06They're kids' pictures. Now get out!
0:44:06 > 0:44:09- Chloe has a power. She's using it to snatch the kids.- Get out.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12If living things can become drawings,
0:44:12 > 0:44:16then maybe drawings can become living things.
