0:00:14 > 0:00:16We are under attack.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18There are creatures.

0:00:18 > 0:00:19I don't even think they're human.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21- We can't stop them. - The clock is broken.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23He's coming.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Did you hear what I said?

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Listen to me.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30There is a man coming to Versailles.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34He has watched over me my whole life and he will not desert me tonight.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36What are you talking about? What man?

0:00:36 > 0:00:39The only man, save you, I have ever loved.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42No, don't look like that, there's no time. You have your duties.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46I am your mistress, go to your Queen.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Are you there? Can you hear me?

0:00:49 > 0:00:53I need you now, you promised.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55The clock on the mantel is broken!

0:00:55 > 0:00:56It is time!

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Doctor! Doctor!

0:01:49 > 0:01:51It's a space ship. Brilliant!

0:01:51 > 0:01:53I got a space ship on my first go!

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Looks kind of abandoned.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Anyone on board?- Nah, nothing here.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Well, nothing dangerous.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Well, not that dangerous.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04You know what? I'll just have a quick scan...

0:02:04 > 0:02:07in case there's anything dangerous.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10So, what's the date? How far have we gone?

0:02:10 > 0:02:15About 3,000 years into your future, give or take.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16The 51st Century.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20The Dagmar Cluster. You're a long way from home, Mickey!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Two and a half galaxies!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Mickey Smith, meet the universe.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28..See anything you like?

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- It's so...realistic! - Dear me, had some cowboys in here.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Been a ton of repair work going on.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Now, that's odd, look at that!

0:02:39 > 0:02:42All the warp engines are going.

0:02:42 > 0:02:48Full capacity! There's enough power running through this ship to punch a hole in the universe.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50And we're not moving.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54- So where's all that power going? - Where'd all the crew go?

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Good question. No life readings on board.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Well, we're in deep space, they didn't just nip out for a quick fag.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02No, I've checked all the smoking pods.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04You smell that?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Yeah. Someone's cooking. - Sunday roast, definitely.

0:03:13 > 0:03:18Now, there's something you don't see in your average space ship.

0:03:18 > 0:03:2118th Century. French.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Nice mantel.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Not a hologram.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Not even a reproduction. This actually is an 18th Century French fireplace. Double-sided.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32There's another room through there.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36- It can't be, that's the outer hull of the ship. Look!- Hello.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Hello.- What's your name?- Reinette.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Reinette? That's a lovely name.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Can you tell me where you are, at the moment, Reinette?

0:03:44 > 0:03:49- In my bedroom.- Where's your bedroom? Where do you live, Reinette?

0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Paris, of course.- Paris! Right.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Monsieur, what are you doing in my fireplace?

0:03:55 > 0:03:59Oh, just a routine...fire check.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04- Can you tell me what year it is? - Of course I can! 1727.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Right, lovely, one of my favourites.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09August is rubbish though - stay indoors.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12OK, that's all for now, thanks for your help.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Hope you enjoy the rest of the fire. Night-night!

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Good night, Monsieur.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18You said this was the 51st Century.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22I also said this ship was generating enough power to punch a hole in the universe. We just found the hole.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Must be a spatio-temporal hyperlink.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27- What's that? - No idea, just made it up.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Didn't want to say "magic door".

0:04:29 > 0:04:34And on the other side of the... "magic door", it's France in 1727?

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Well, she was speaking French.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Right period French too.- She was speaking English, I heard her.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42- That's the Tardis, translates for you.- Even French?

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Yep!

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Gotcha!- Doctor!

0:05:08 > 0:05:11HORSE WHINNEYS

0:05:11 > 0:05:16It's OK! Don't scream, it's me. It's the fireplace man, look!

0:05:18 > 0:05:21We were talking. Just a moment ago. I was in your fireplace.

0:05:21 > 0:05:26- Monsieur, that was weeks ago. That was months.- Really?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Must be a loose connection.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Need to get a man in.- Who are you and what are you doing here?

0:05:36 > 0:05:39TICKING

0:05:39 > 0:05:41OK. That's scary.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43You're scared of a broken clock?

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Just a bit scared, yeah, just a little tiny bit.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Cos you see, if this clock's broken,

0:05:48 > 0:05:51and it's the only clock in the room...then what's that?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Cos you see, that's not a clock.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02You can tell by the resonance.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Too big.

0:06:06 > 0:06:11Six feet, I'd say...size of a man.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15- What is it?- Now. Let's think.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17If you were a thing that ticked and you were hiding in someone's bedroom, first thing you'd do -

0:06:17 > 0:06:21break the clock. No-one notices the sound of one clock ticking, but two?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27You might start to wonder if you're really alone.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Stay on the bed. Right in the middle.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Don't put your hands or feet over the edge!

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Reinette, don't look round.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06You stay exactly where you are.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Hold still, let me look.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18You've been scanning her brain!

0:07:19 > 0:07:22What, you've crossed two galaxies and thousands of years just to scan a child's brain?

0:07:22 > 0:07:26What could there be in a little girl's mind worth blowing a hole in the universe?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28I don't understand.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30It wants me?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32You want me?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Not yet. You are incomplete.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Incomplete?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38What's that mean, incomplete?

0:07:38 > 0:07:41You can answer her, you can answer me. What do you mean, incomplete?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Monsieur, be careful!

0:07:48 > 0:07:51It's just a nightmare, Reinette, don't worry about it. Everyone has nightmares.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Even monsters from under the bed have nightmares. Don't you, monster?

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- What do monsters have nightmares about?- Me! Ha!

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Doctor!

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Excellent! Ice gun!

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Fire extinguisher. - Where'd that thing come from?- Here.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21So why's it dressed like that?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Field trip to France. Some kind of basic camouflage protocol.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28Nice needle-work. Shame about the face!

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Oh, you are beautiful!

0:08:32 > 0:08:35No, really, you are! You're gorgeous!

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Look at that! Space age clockwork!

0:08:37 > 0:08:39I Love it! I've got chills!

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Listen, seriously, I mean this from the heart,

0:08:42 > 0:08:49and by the way, count those, it would be a crime, it would be an act of vandalism, to disassemble you.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52But that won't stop me!

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Short-range teleport. Can't have gone far. Could still be on board. - What is it?- Don't go looking for it.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Where you going?- Back in a sec.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11He said not to look for it.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yeah, he did.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Now you're getting it!

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Reinette?

0:09:27 > 0:09:28Just checking you're OK.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Hmm-hmm.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh! Hello!

0:09:42 > 0:09:45I was just looking for Reinette.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48This is still her room, isn't it?

0:09:48 > 0:09:51I've been away, not sure how long.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Reinette? We are ready to go!

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Go to the carriage, mother, I will join you there.

0:10:00 > 0:10:05It is customary, I think, to have an imaginary friend only during one's childhood.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08You are to be congratulated on your persistence.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12Reinette. Well!

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Goodness! How you've grown.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18And you do not appear to have aged a single day.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20That is tremendously impolite of you.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Right, yeah, sorry.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Um, um, um...

0:10:25 > 0:10:28Listen, lovely to catch up, but better be off, eh?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Don't want your mother finding you up here with a strange man, do we?

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Strange? How could you be a stranger to me?

0:10:34 > 0:10:36I've known you since I was seven years old.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Yeah, I suppose you have.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40I came the quick route.

0:10:45 > 0:10:50Well, you seem to be flesh and blood at any rate. But this is absurd. Reason tells me you cannot be real.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54Oh, you never want to listen to reason.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Mademoiselle?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Your mother grows impatient.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00A moment!

0:11:00 > 0:11:02So many questions.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04So little time.

0:11:14 > 0:11:15Mademoiselle! Poisson!

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Poisson!

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Reinette Poisson! No!

0:11:32 > 0:11:34No, no, no!

0:11:34 > 0:11:37No way! Reinette Poisson! Later Madame d'Etoiles?!

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Later still mistress of Louis XV! Uncrowned Queen of France!

0:11:40 > 0:11:45Actress, artist, musician, dancer, courtesan, fantastic gardener.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Who the hell are you?

0:11:49 > 0:11:53I'm The Doctor! And I just snogged Madame de Pompadour!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Rose?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Mickey? Every time! Every time!

0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's rule one...don't wander off!

0:12:05 > 0:12:08I tell them, I do! Rule one! There could be anything on this ship!

0:12:11 > 0:12:13IT WHINNEYS

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Are you looking at me?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Ah! Look at this!

0:12:37 > 0:12:39That's an eye in there.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42That's a real eye.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47RHYTHMIC PUMPING

0:12:57 > 0:12:59What is that?

0:12:59 > 0:13:02What's that in the middle there? It's like it's wired in.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04It's a heart.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Mickey, it's a human heart.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Rose?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Will you stop following me?

0:13:20 > 0:13:21I'm not your mother!

0:13:26 > 0:13:28So this is where you came from, eh, horsey?

0:13:34 > 0:13:37Oh, Katherine, you are too wicked.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Speaking of wicked, I hear Madame de Chateauroux is ill and close to death.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Yes, I am devastated.

0:13:46 > 0:13:51Oh, indeed. I, myself, am frequently inconsolable.

0:13:51 > 0:13:56The King will, therefore, be requiring a new mistress. You love the King, of course.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59He is the King and I love him with all my heart.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01And I look forward to meeting him.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Is something wrong, my dear?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Not wrong, no.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Every woman in Paris knows your ambitions.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Every woman in Paris shares them.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18You know, of course, that the King is to attend the Yew Tree ball...

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Maybe it wasn't a real heart.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28Of course it was a real heart.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31Is this, like, normal for you?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Is this an average day? - Life with The Doctor, Mickey.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36No more average days.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40It's France again. We can see France.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42I think we're looking through a mirror.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Blimey, look at this guy! Who does he think he is?

0:14:47 > 0:14:48The King of France.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Oh, here's trouble! What you been up to? - Oh, this and that.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56Became the imaginary friend of a future French aristocrat, picked a fight with a clockwork man.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Oh, and I met a horse.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01What's a horse doing on a space ship?

0:15:01 > 0:15:04Mickey, what's pre-revolutionary France doing on a space ship? Get a little perspective!

0:15:04 > 0:15:08See these? They're all over the place, on every deck.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Gateways to history.

0:15:11 > 0:15:12But not just any old history.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16Hers. Time windows.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Deliberately arranged along the life of one particular woman.

0:15:19 > 0:15:24A space ship from the 51st Century stalking a woman from the 18th!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Why?- Who is she?

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Jean-Antoinette Poisson!

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Known to her friends as Reinette. One of the most accomplished women who ever lived.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33So she got plans on being Queen then?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36No, he's already got a queen. She's got plans on being his mistress.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41Oh, I get it. Camilla!

0:15:41 > 0:15:43I think this is the night they met.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47The night of the Yew Tree Ball.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50In no time flat she'll get herself established as his official mistress, with her own rooms at the palace.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54Even her own title - Madame de Pompadour.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Queen must have loved her.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Oh, she did. They got on very well.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05- The King's wife and the King's girlfriend?- France.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07It's a different planet.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16How long have you been standing there? Show yourself!

0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Hello, Reinette, hasn't time flown! - Fireplace man!

0:16:30 > 0:16:33- What's it doing?- Switching back on.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Melting the ice.- And then what?

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Then it kills everyone in the room.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38Focuses the mind, doesn't it?

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Who are you? Identify yourself!

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Order it to answer me.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Why should it listen to me?

0:16:45 > 0:16:48I don't know, but it did when you were a child.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Let's see if you've still got it.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Answer his question.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Answer any and all questions put to you.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01I am Repair Droid Seven.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03So what happened to the ship then?

0:17:03 > 0:17:06There was a lot of damage.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Ion storm. 82% systems failure.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11That ship hasn't moved in over a year. What's taken you so long?

0:17:11 > 0:17:13We did not have the parts.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Always comes down to that, doesn't it? The parts.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- What happened to the crew? Where are they?- We did not have the parts.

0:17:21 > 0:17:26- There should've been over 50 people on your ship. Where did they go? - We did not have the parts.

0:17:26 > 0:17:2850 people don't just disappear...

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Oh...

0:17:31 > 0:17:36you didn't have the parts. So you used the crew.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39The crew?!

0:17:39 > 0:17:42We found a camera with an eye in it.

0:17:42 > 0:17:48And there was a heart wired into machinery.

0:17:48 > 0:17:54It's just doing what it's programmed to...repairing the ship any way it can, with whatever it can find.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57No-one told it the crew weren't on the menu.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00What did you say the flight deck smelled of?

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- ..Someone cooking... - Flesh plus heat.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Barbecue.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10But what are you doing here?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13You've opened up time windows, that takes colossal energy.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Why come here, you could've gone to your repair yard.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Instead you come to 18th century France. Why?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21One more part is required.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Then why haven't you taken it?

0:18:27 > 0:18:29She is incomplete.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32What? So that's the plan then?

0:18:32 > 0:18:38You just keep opening up more and more time windows, scanning her brain, checking if she's done yet?

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Why her?

0:18:40 > 0:18:46If you've got all of history to choose from, why specifically her?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48< We are the same.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51We are not the same! We are in no sense the same!

0:18:51 > 0:18:56- - We are the same. - Get out of here! Get out of here this instant!- Reinette, no!

0:18:56 > 0:18:58It's back on the ship! Rose, take Mickey and Arthur,

0:18:58 > 0:19:03- don't approach it, just watch what it does.- Arthur?- Good name for a horse.- You're not keeping the horse!

0:19:03 > 0:19:06I let you keep Mickey. Now go, go, go!

0:19:09 > 0:19:14You must trust me. I need to find out what they're looking for. There's only one way to do that.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Won't hurt a bit.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Fireplace man!

0:19:20 > 0:19:22You are inside my mind.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Oh, dear, Reinette.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27You've had some cowboys in here!

0:19:27 > 0:19:29So! That Doctor, eh?

0:19:29 > 0:19:31What are you talking about?

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Well, Madame de Pompadour, Sarah Jane Smith... Cleopatra...

0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Oh, Cleopatra! He mentioned her once!- Yeah, but he called her Cleo. - Mickey!

0:19:47 > 0:19:51You are in my memories. You walk among them.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55If there's anything you don't want me to see, just imagine a door and close it. I won't look.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02Actually there's a door just there, you might want to close.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Actually, several.

0:20:04 > 0:20:09To walk among the memories of another living soul. Do you ever get used to this?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11I don't make a habit of it.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14- How can you resist?- What age are you?

0:20:14 > 0:20:18So impertinent a question, so early in the conversation.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20- How promising.- Not my question.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Theirs. You're 23.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24And for some reason that means you're not old enough.

0:20:24 > 0:20:29Sorry. You might find old memories reawakening. Side effect.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Oh, such a lonely childhood!

0:20:31 > 0:20:33It'll pass. Stay with me.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Oh, Doctor! So lonely.

0:20:37 > 0:20:38So very, very alone.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42What do you mean, alone? You've never been alone in your life.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44When did you start calling me Doctor?

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Such a lonely little boy!

0:20:46 > 0:20:49Lonely then and lonelier now.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54- How can you bear it? - How did you do that?

0:20:54 > 0:20:57A door, once opened, may be stepped through in either direction.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Oh, Doctor!

0:21:01 > 0:21:03My lonely Doctor...

0:21:07 > 0:21:09- dance with me.- I can't.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Dance with me!

0:21:11 > 0:21:13This is the night you dance with the King.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Then first I shall make him jealous.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19- I can't.- Doctor.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Doctor who?

0:21:23 > 0:21:27It's more than just a secret, isn't it?

0:21:27 > 0:21:30What did you see?

0:21:30 > 0:21:32That there comes a time, Time Lord,

0:21:32 > 0:21:36when every lonely little boy must learn how to dance.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51What is this? What's going on? Doctor?

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Rose!

0:21:54 > 0:21:57They're going to chop us up. Just like the crew!

0:21:57 > 0:21:59They're going to chop us and stick us all over their stupid space ship!

0:21:59 > 0:22:03And where's The Doctor? Where's the precious Doctor now?

0:22:03 > 0:22:08- Been gone for flippin' hours, that's where he is!- You are compatible.

0:22:10 > 0:22:17Well, you might want to think about that. You really, really might, because me and Mickey,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20we didn't come here alone. Oh, no, and trust me, you wouldn't want

0:22:20 > 0:22:22to mess with our designated driver.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Ever heard of the Daleks? Remember them?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33They had a name for our friend.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36They had myths about him and a name.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38They called him the...

0:22:38 > 0:22:42# I could have danced all night I could have danced all night...! #

0:22:42 > 0:22:44They called him the...

0:22:44 > 0:22:48# And still have begged for more!

0:22:48 > 0:22:50# I could have spread my wings

0:22:50 > 0:22:53# And done a thousand... Have you met the French?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56# My God, they know how to party! #

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Well, look at what the cat dragged in. The oncoming storm!

0:22:59 > 0:23:03- Ooh, you sound just like your mother!- What have you been doing? Where have you been?

0:23:03 > 0:23:09Well, among other things, I think I just invented the Banana Daiquiri a couple of centuries early.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12D'you know, they'd never even seen a banana before?

0:23:12 > 0:23:16Always take a banana to a party, Rose. Bananas are good!

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Oh, brilliant!

0:23:19 > 0:23:21It's you!

0:23:21 > 0:23:23You're my favourite, you are!

0:23:23 > 0:23:25You are the best! You know why?

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Cos you're so thick!

0:23:28 > 0:23:34You're Mr Thick, Thick, Thicketty, Thick-face from Thick-town, Thickania.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36And so's your Dad!

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Do you know what they were scanning Reinette's brain for?

0:23:38 > 0:23:42Her mileometer.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44They wanted to know how old she is.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Know why? Cos this ship is 37 years old.

0:23:48 > 0:23:55And they think when Reinette is 37, when she's "complete", then her brain will be compatible.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00Cos that's what you're missing, isn't it, mmm? The command circuit from your computer.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Your ship needs a brain.

0:24:02 > 0:24:08And for some reason, God knows what, only the brain of Madame de Pompadour will do.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10The brain is compatible.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Compatible?

0:24:12 > 0:24:16If you believe that then you probably believe this is a glass of wine.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Multi-grade anti-oil.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29"If it moves, it doesn't."

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Right, you two, that's enough lying about.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Time we got the rest of the ship turned off.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Those things safe?- Yep, safe.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Safe and thick. Way I like 'em.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44OK, all the time windows are controlled from here.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Need to close them all down. Zeus plugs, where are my Zeus plugs?

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Had them a minute ago, I was using them as castanets.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Why didn't they just open a time window to when she was 37?

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Amount of damage in these circuits, they did well to hit the right century. Trial and error after that.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58The windows aren't closing.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Why won't they close?

0:25:01 > 0:25:03- What's that?- I dunno.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Incoming message?- From who?

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Report from the field. One of them must still be out there with Reinette.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13That's why I can't close the windows, there's an override.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Oh. That was a bit clever.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27Right, many things about this are not good.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Message from one of your little friends? Anything interesting?

0:25:31 > 0:25:33She is complete. It begins.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39What's happening?

0:25:39 > 0:25:42One of them must have found the right time window. Now it's time to send in the troops.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44And this time they're bringing back her head.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59Madame de Pompadour... Please, don't scream or anything.

0:25:59 > 0:26:04We haven't got a lot of time! I have come to warn you that they will be here in five years.

0:26:04 > 0:26:09- Five years? - Some time after your 37th birthday.

0:26:09 > 0:26:14I can't give you an exact date, it's a bit random. But they're coming.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16It's gonna happen.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20In a way...for us...it's already happening.

0:26:20 > 0:26:24I'm sorry, it's hard to explain - The Doctor does this better.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Then be exact and I will be attentive.- There isn't time.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29There are five years.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32For you. I haven't got five minutes.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Then also be concise.

0:26:36 > 0:26:42Um...there's a...vessel.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45A ship. A sort of sky ship.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49And it's full of...well, you.

0:26:49 > 0:26:55Different bits of your life, in different rooms all jumbled up. I told you it was complicated. Sorry.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59There is a vessel in your world,

0:26:59 > 0:27:04where the days of my life are pressed together, like the chapters of a book, so that he may step from one

0:27:04 > 0:27:07to the other without increase of age,

0:27:07 > 0:27:12while I, weary traveller, must always take the slower path.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15He was right about you!

0:27:15 > 0:27:17So! In five years these creatures will return.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20- What can be done? - The Doctor says, keep them talking.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22They're kind of programmed to respond to you.

0:27:22 > 0:27:27- Now, you won't be able to stop them, but you might be able to delay them a bit.- Until?

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Until The Doctor can get there.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32- He's coming then?- He promises.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35But he cannot make his promises in person?

0:27:35 > 0:27:40He'll be there when you need him. That's the way

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- it's got to be. - It's the way it has always been.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45The monsters and The Doctor.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48It seems you cannot have one without the other.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Tell me about it.

0:27:50 > 0:27:55The thing is, you weren't supposed to have either.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Those creatures are messing with history.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02- None of this was ever supposed to happen to you.- Supposed to happen?

0:28:02 > 0:28:03What does that mean?

0:28:03 > 0:28:08It happened, child, and I would not have had it any other way.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Rose? Rose?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20Rose?

0:28:20 > 0:28:22The Time Window where she's 37.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24We've found it, right under our noses!

0:28:27 > 0:28:29No, you can't go in there!

0:28:29 > 0:28:31The Doctor will go mad!

0:28:38 > 0:28:40So this is his world.

0:28:40 > 0:28:45- SCREAMING What was that?- The Time Window.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- The Doctor fixed an audio link.- Those screams.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Is that my future?

0:28:50 > 0:28:51Yes. I'm sorry.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54Then I must take the slower path.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57REINETTE'S VOICE: 'Are you there? Can you hear me?

0:28:57 > 0:29:01'I need you now, you promised! The clock on the mantel is broken! It is time!'

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- That's my voice.- Rose, come on, we've got to go.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07- There's a problem!- Give me a moment!

0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Are you OK?- No. I am very afraid.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20But you and I both know, don't we, Rose?

0:29:20 > 0:29:23The Doctor is worth the monsters.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33'Doctor! Doctor!'

0:29:33 > 0:29:36PEOPLE SCREAM

0:29:49 > 0:29:50Doctor!

0:29:50 > 0:29:54We must go! No-one is coming to help us.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05You are complete. You will come.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17- You found it, then!- They knew I was coming, they've blocked it off.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Where are we going? - The teleport has limited range.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23We must have proximity to the time portal.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Your words mean nothing.

0:30:25 > 0:30:26You are nothing.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31- I don't get it. How come they got in there?- They teleported, you saw them. As long as the ship

0:30:31 > 0:30:34and the ballroom are linked, their short-range teleports will do the trick.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38- We'll go in the Tardis!- I can't use the Tardis, we're part of events now!- Can't we just smash through?

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Hyperplex this side, plate glass the other. We'd need a truck.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44- We don't have a truck! - I know we don't have a truck!- Well, we've got to try something!

0:30:44 > 0:30:47No, smash the glass, smash the Time Window, there'd be no way back.

0:30:47 > 0:30:52Could everyone just calm down! Please!

0:30:52 > 0:30:57Such a commotion, such distressing noise.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Kindly remember that this is Versailles.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03This is the Royal Court. And we are French.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11I have made a decision.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14And my decision is "no".

0:31:14 > 0:31:16I shall not be going with you today.

0:31:16 > 0:31:21I have seen your world, I have no desire to set foot there again.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24We do not require your feet.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28ALL SCREAM

0:31:33 > 0:31:36You think I fear you,

0:31:36 > 0:31:39but I do not fear you even now.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43You are merely the nightmare of my childhood.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45The monster from under my bed.

0:31:45 > 0:31:50And if my nightmare can return to plague me, then rest assured, so will yours!

0:31:50 > 0:31:53HORSE NEIGHS

0:31:54 > 0:31:57HORSE GALLOPS IN DISTANCE

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Madame de Pompadour.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26You look younger ever day.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29What the hell is going on?

0:32:29 > 0:32:30Oh!

0:32:30 > 0:32:34This is my lover, the King of France.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36Yeah, well I'm the Lord of Time.

0:32:39 > 0:32:40And I'm here to fix the clock!

0:32:43 > 0:32:46Forget it. It's over.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48For you and for me.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51Talk about seven years' bad luck.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Try three thousand!

0:33:01 > 0:33:03What happened?

0:33:03 > 0:33:05Where did the Time Window go?

0:33:05 > 0:33:07How's he gonna get back?

0:33:22 > 0:33:25The link with the ship is broken.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27No way back.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31You don't have the parts.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35How many ticks left in that clockwork heart?

0:33:35 > 0:33:39A day? An hour? It's over.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42Accept that.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45I'm not winding you up.

0:33:45 > 0:33:46You all right?

0:34:03 > 0:34:04What's happened to them?

0:34:06 > 0:34:09They've stopped.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11They have no purpose now.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25We can't fly the Tardis without him.

0:34:25 > 0:34:26How is he going to get back?

0:34:42 > 0:34:46You know all their names, don't you?

0:34:46 > 0:34:48I saw that in your mind.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50The name of every star.

0:34:50 > 0:34:54What's in a name? Names are just titles. Titles don't tell you anything.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56Like "The Doctor"?

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Like "Madame de Pompadour".

0:35:01 > 0:35:04I have often wished to see those stars a little closer.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07Just as you have, I think.

0:35:07 > 0:35:08From time to time.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12In saving me, you trapped yourself.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Did you know that would happen?

0:35:14 > 0:35:17- Pretty much.- Yet still you came.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20Yeah, I did, didn't I?

0:35:20 > 0:35:23Catch me doing that again!

0:35:23 > 0:35:26There were many doors between my world and yours.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Can you not use one of the others?

0:35:28 > 0:35:32When the mirror broke, the shock would've severed all the links with the ship.

0:35:32 > 0:35:37There'll be a few more broken mirrors and torn tapestries around here, I'm afraid.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Wherever there was a time window.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42I'll, I'll pay for any damage.

0:35:44 > 0:35:48That's a thought, I'm going to need money. Always been a bit vague about money.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51..Where do you get money?

0:35:51 > 0:35:53So here you are.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56My lonely angel.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Stuck on the slow path with me.

0:35:58 > 0:36:02Yep! The slow path!

0:36:02 > 0:36:03Here's to the slow path.

0:36:09 > 0:36:14It's a pity. I think I would have enjoyed the slow path.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Well, I'm not going anywhere.

0:36:17 > 0:36:18Oh, aren't you?

0:36:20 > 0:36:21Take my hand.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46It is not a copy, it is the original.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49I had it moved here and was exact in every detail.

0:36:51 > 0:36:52The fireplace.

0:36:55 > 0:37:02The fireplace from your bedroom! ..When did you do this?

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Many years ago.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08In the hope that a door once opened may some day open again.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13One never quite knows when one needs one's doctor.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18It appears undamaged. Do you think it will still work?

0:37:18 > 0:37:21You broke the bond with the ship when you moved it.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24Which means it was off-line when the mirror broke, that's what saved it.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31But the link is basically physical,

0:37:31 > 0:37:34and it's still physically here,

0:37:34 > 0:37:37which might just mean, if I'm lucky,

0:37:37 > 0:37:41if I'm very, very, very, very lucky...

0:37:42 > 0:37:45- A-ha!- What?- Loose connection!

0:37:45 > 0:37:48Need to get a man in! Wish me luck!

0:37:51 > 0:37:52No.

0:37:57 > 0:38:02Madame de Pompadour? ..Still want to see those stars?

0:38:02 > 0:38:05- More than anything. - Gimme two minutes. Pack a bag!

0:38:05 > 0:38:06Am I going somewhere?

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Go to the window. Pick a star. Any star.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24- How long did you wait? - 5½ hours.- Great!

0:38:24 > 0:38:26Always wait 5½ hours.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Where've you been?- Explain later, into the Tardis. With you in a sec!

0:38:32 > 0:38:35Reinette, are you there? Reinette?

0:38:47 > 0:38:49Reinette?

0:38:49 > 0:38:52Oh, hello!

0:38:52 > 0:38:55You just missed her.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57She'll be in Paris by six.

0:38:57 > 0:38:58Oh.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04Good Lord!

0:39:04 > 0:39:05She was right.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09She said you never looked a day older.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13So many years since I saw you last, but not a day of it on your face.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28She spoke of you many times.

0:39:28 > 0:39:31Often wished you would visit again.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34You know how women are.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38HORSE NEIGHS

0:39:45 > 0:39:48And there she goes.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Leaving Versailles for the last time.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Only 43 when she died.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Too young.

0:39:59 > 0:40:00Too young.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Illness took her in the end.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07She always did work too hard.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15What does she say?

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Of course.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Quite right.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Why her?

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Why did they think they could repair the ship with the head of Madame de Pompadour?

0:40:55 > 0:40:57We'll probably never know.

0:40:57 > 0:41:02There's massive damage in the computer memory decks, it probably got confused.

0:41:02 > 0:41:07The Tardis can close down the Time Windows, now the droids have gone -

0:41:07 > 0:41:09should stop it causing any more trouble.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14You all right?

0:41:15 > 0:41:17I'm always all right.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26Come on, Rose, time you showed me round the rest of this place.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48"My dear Doctor.

0:41:49 > 0:41:54"The path has never seemed more slow and yet I fear I am nearing its end.

0:41:54 > 0:42:01"Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason.

0:42:01 > 0:42:06"I have seen the world inside your head, and know that all things are possible.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09"Hurry though, my love.

0:42:09 > 0:42:13"My days grow shorter now, and I am so very weak.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15"Godspeed, my lonely angel."

0:43:21 > 0:43:24- So this is London.- An alternative to our world,

0:43:24 > 0:43:26where everything's the same but a little bit different.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31Loads of people are disappearing!

0:43:31 > 0:43:33It's been going on for months!

0:43:33 > 0:43:37- What are they all doing? - It's the earpieces...

0:43:37 > 0:43:42The prototype has passed every test, sir. It's working!

0:43:42 > 0:43:45- I've seen them before... - What are they?

0:43:46 > 0:43:51A skin of metal and a body that will never age!
