0:02:37 > 0:02:42- Blimey! D'you have to pass a test to fly this thing?- Yes, and I failed.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10We travelled in time.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Where are we?

0:03:13 > 0:03:18- No, sorry, gotta get used to this, whole new language. WHEN are we? - Mind out!

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Gardez-loo!

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Somewhere before the invention of the toilet. Sorry about that.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27I've seen worse, I've worked late night-shift in A&E.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30But, are we safe? I mean, can we move around and stuff?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Course we can, why'd you ask?

0:03:32 > 0:03:36In those films, you step on a butterfly, you change the future of the human race.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Tell you what then, don't step on any butterflies. What have butterflies ever done to you?

0:03:41 > 0:03:45What if, I dunno, what if I kill my grandfather?

0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Are you planning to?- No!- Well then.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50This is London?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Oh, but hold on, am I all right?

0:03:58 > 0:04:03- I'm not going to get carted off as a slave, am I?- Why?- I'm not exactly white, in case you haven't noticed?

0:04:03 > 0:04:08I'm not even human, Walk about like you own the place, works for me. Besides, you'd be surprised...

0:04:08 > 0:04:12Elizabethan England, it's not so different from your time.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42brand new, just opened!

0:04:42 > 0:04:49Though strictly speaking, it's not a globe, it's a tetradecagon, 14 sides, containing the man himself.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Whoa, you don't mean...?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Is Shakespeare in there!?- Oh, yes.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Miss Jones, will you accompany me to the theatre?- Mr Smith, I will!

0:04:58 > 0:05:04- When you get home, you can tell everyone you've seen Shakespeare! - And then I could get sectioned!

0:05:04 > 0:05:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:05:24 > 0:05:29That's amazing! Just amazing! It's worth putting up with the smell!

0:05:30 > 0:05:33And those are men dressed up as women, yeah?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35London never changes.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Where's Shakespeare? I want to see Shakespeare! Author, author!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Do people shout that, do they shout "author"?- Author!

0:06:49 > 0:06:51LAUGHTER

0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Oh, well!- You should never meet your heroes.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Wind the craft of ancient harm,

0:07:05 > 0:07:08the time approaches for our charm.

0:07:08 > 0:07:15But I know what you're all saying, Love's Labours Lost, that's a funny ending, isn't it? It just stops!

0:07:46 > 0:07:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:52 > 0:07:57I'm not an expert but I've never heard of Love's Labours Won.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Exactly. The lost play. It doesn't exist, only in rumours.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06It's mentioned in lists of his plays, but it never, ever turns up. And no-one knows why.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Have you got a mini-disc or something?

0:08:08 > 0:08:12We can tape it! We can flog it, sell it when we get home, make a mint.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- No!- That would be bad?

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Yeah, yeah!- But how come it disappeared in the first place?

0:08:18 > 0:08:25Well... I was just gonna give you a quick little trip in the Tardis,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27but I suppose we could stay a bit longer.

0:08:41 > 0:08:47Here you go, Will! Drink up! There's enough beer in this lodging house to sink the Spanish!

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Dolly Bailey, you've saved my life!

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I'll do more than that, later tonight!

0:08:53 > 0:08:57And you girl, hurry up with the tasks, the talk of gentlemen is best not overheard!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Yes, ma'am. Sorry. - But you must be mad, Will!

0:08:59 > 0:09:04Love's Labours Won? We're not ready! It's supposed to be next week! What made you say that?

0:09:04 > 0:09:08- It's not finished! - Just the final scene to go, you'll get it by morning.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Hello! Excuse me, not interrupting, am I? Mr Shakespeare, isn't it?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Oh no. No, no, no, who let you in?

0:09:15 > 0:09:21No autographs. You can't be sketched with me. Don't ask where I get my ideas. Thanks for the interest.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Now be a good boy and shove...

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Hey nonny, nonny...

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Sit right down here next to me. You two, get sewing on them costumes, off you go.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Come on, lads, I think our William's found his new muse.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Sweet lady.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Such unusual clothes, so...

0:09:42 > 0:09:46- fitted.- Um...Verily, forsooth. Egads.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49No, no, don't do that.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Don't.

0:09:50 > 0:09:55I'm Sir Doctor of Tardis and this is my companion, Miss Martha Jones.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Interesting. That bit of paper, it's blank.- Oh, that's...

0:09:59 > 0:10:00very clever.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03That proves it. Absolute genius.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06No, it says right there, Sir Doctor, Martha Jones, it says so.

0:10:06 > 0:10:13- And I say, it's blank.- Psychic paper. Um...long story, oh I hate starting from scratch.- "Psychic"?

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Never heard that before, and words are my trade. who are you?

0:10:16 > 0:10:20- More to the point, who's your delicious blackamoor lady? - What did you say?

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Whoops. Isn't that a word we use nowadays?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26An Ethiop girl, a swarth, a Queen of Afric?

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Can't believe I'm hearing this.

0:10:27 > 0:10:32It's political correctness gone mad. Em, Martha's from a far-off land. Freedonia.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Excuse me! Hold hard a moment!

0:10:34 > 0:10:39This is abominable behaviour, a new play, with no warning!

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I demand to see a script, Mr Shakespeare.

0:10:41 > 0:10:48As Master of the Revels, every new script must be registered at my office and examined by me,

0:10:48 > 0:10:52- before it can be performed!- Tomorrow first thing, I'll send it round.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55I don't work to your schedule, you work to mine! The script, now!

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- I can't!- Then tomorrow's performance is cancelled.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02- It's all go around here! - I am returning to my Office for a banning order!

0:11:02 > 0:11:09If it's the last thing I do - Love's Labours Won will never be played!

0:11:11 > 0:11:17Sorry, sir, begging your pardon, sir. Mind you don't hurt that handsome head of yours, sir...

0:11:17 > 0:11:18Hold hard, wanton woman!

0:11:19 > 0:11:22I shall return later.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Oh, my mothers!

0:11:32 > 0:11:35There's one seeks to stop the performance tomorrow!

0:11:37 > 0:11:41- But it must be tomorrow. - Love's Labours Won must be performed!

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Fear not!

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Chant with me.

0:11:45 > 0:11:52ALL: Water damps the fiercest flame, drowns down girls and boys the same!

0:12:02 > 0:12:07Well then, mystery solved! That's Love's Labours Won over and done with.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Thought it might be something more, you know, more mysterious?

0:12:10 > 0:12:13GROANING AND WOMAN'S SCREAMS

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Help me! >

0:12:15 > 0:12:20CONTINUED SCREAMING

0:12:29 > 0:12:32- It's that Lynley bloke. - What's wrong with him?

0:12:32 > 0:12:37- Leave it to me, I'm a doctor. - So am I, near enough.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42WITCHES: Now to halt the vital part, stab the flesh...

0:12:42 > 0:12:44And stop the heart!

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Eternal sleep is thine.

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Get the heart going, Mr Lynley, come on, can you hear me?

0:12:57 > 0:13:01You're gonna be all right.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03What the hell is that?!

0:13:03 > 0:13:06I've never seen a death like it. His lungs are full of water, he drowned.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13I dunno, like a...blow to the heart? An invisible blow.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19Good mistress, this poor fellow has died from a sudden imbalance of the humours.

0:13:19 > 0:13:24- A natural, if unfortunate demise. Call a constable, have him taken away.- Yes, sir.- I'll do it, ma'am.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29And why are you telling them that?

0:13:29 > 0:13:33They're still in the Dark Ages. If I tell them the truth they'll think it was witchcraft.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35OK, what was it then?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Witchcraft.

0:13:38 > 0:13:43The potion is prepared, now take it.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Magic words for the playwright's fevered mind.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Shakespeare will release us!

0:13:49 > 0:13:53The mind of a genius will unlock the Tide of Blood!

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Upon this night, the work is done,

0:13:57 > 0:14:00a muse to pen Love's Labours Won!

0:14:12 > 0:14:17I've got you a room, Sir Doctor, you and Miss Jones are just across the landing.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20Poor Lynley. So many strange events.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Not least of all, this land of Freedonia, where a woman can be a doctor?

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Where a woman can do what she likes.

0:14:26 > 0:14:30And you, Sir Doctor. How can a man so young have eyes so old?

0:14:30 > 0:14:33I do a lot of reading.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37A trite reply, yeah, that's what I do.

0:14:37 > 0:14:42And you, you look at him like you're surprised he exists.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45He's as much of a puzzle to you as he is to me.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47I think we should say goodnight.

0:14:50 > 0:14:55I must to work, I have a play to complete.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58But I'll get my answers tomorrow, Doctor,

0:14:58 > 0:15:03and I'll discover more about you, and why this constant performance of yours.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- All the world's a stage.- Hmm.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09I might use that. Good night, Doctor.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Nighty night, Shakespeare.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22It's not exactly five star, is it?

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Oh, it'll do, I've seen worse.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26I haven't even got a toothbrush.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Oh, contains Venusian spearmint.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35- So, who's going where? I mean, there's only one bed.- We'll manage!

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Come on...

0:15:40 > 0:15:44So, magic and stuff, that's a surprise. It's all a bit Harry Potter.

0:15:44 > 0:15:49Wait till you read book seven. Oh, I cried.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52But is it real? I mean, witches, Black magic and all that, it's real?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Of course it isn't(!) - How am I supposed to know?

0:15:55 > 0:15:58I've only just started believing in time travel.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01It looks like witchcraft. But it isn't, it can't be...

0:16:01 > 0:16:03You gonna stand there all night?

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Budge up a bit then.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15Sorry. Not much room. Us two here.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Same bed. Tongues will wag.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20There's psychic energy, but a human couldn't channel it,

0:16:20 > 0:16:24not without a generator the size of Taunton, and we'd have spotted that. No.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29There's something I'm missing, Martha.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Something really close...

0:16:34 > 0:16:37staring me right in the face, and I can't see it.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42Rose would know.

0:16:44 > 0:16:49That friend of mine, Rose, right now, she'd say exactly the right thing.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Still, can't be helped, you're a novice. Never mind!

0:16:54 > 0:16:57I'll take you back home tomorrow.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Great!

0:17:37 > 0:17:43EERIE WHISPERING

0:17:49 > 0:17:53Bind the mind and take the man,

0:17:53 > 0:17:56speed the words

0:17:56 > 0:17:59to writer's hand!

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Will!

0:18:41 > 0:18:47I've finished cleaning, just in time for your special treat... Oh aye, I'm not the first then!

0:18:49 > 0:18:54I'll take that, to aid my flight and you shall speak no more, this night.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03What...?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06What was that?

0:19:08 > 0:19:10- DISTANT CACKLING - Her heart gave out.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- She died of fright.- Doctor...

0:19:14 > 0:19:16What did you see?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18A witch.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21COCKEREL CROWS

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Oh, sweet Dolly Bailey.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31She sat out three bouts of the plague in this place. We all ran like rats.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34But what could have scared her so? She had such enormous spirit.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40- I might use that. - You can't, it's someone else's.

0:19:40 > 0:19:46But the thing is, Lynley drowned on dry land, Dolly died of fright, and they were both connected to you.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- You're accusing me? - No, but I saw a witch -

0:19:49 > 0:19:51big as you like,

0:19:51 > 0:19:55- flying, cackling away - and you've written about witches. - I have? When was that?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Not...quite yet.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Peter Streete spoke of witches. - Who's Peter Streete?- Our builder.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03- He sketched the plans to the Globe. - The architect.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Hold on, the architect! The Globe! Come on!

0:20:07 > 0:20:12The columns there, right, and 14 sides...

0:20:12 > 0:20:15I've always wondered but I've never asked, Will, why 14 sides?

0:20:15 > 0:20:18It was the shape Peter Streete thought best, that's all.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- He said it carried the sound well. - But 14?Why does that ring a bell?

0:20:21 > 0:20:25- 14?- There's 14 lines in a sonnet. - So there is.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Good point! Words, and shapes, following the same design.

0:20:28 > 0:20:3114 lines, 14 sides, 14 facets.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35Oh, my head! Tetradecagon! Think! Words, letters, numbers, lines...

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- But this is just a theatre.- Yes, but a theatre's magic, isn't it?

0:20:38 > 0:20:41You should know! Stand on this stage.

0:20:41 > 0:20:46Say the right words, with the right emphasis, at the right time. Oh, you can make men weep.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51Or cry with joy. Change them...

0:20:51 > 0:20:56Yu can change people's minds, just with words in this place!

0:20:57 > 0:21:03- And if you exaggerate that...- It's like your police box. Small wooden box, but with all that power inside.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Oh! Oh, Martha Jones, I like you! Tell you what though,

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Peter would know, can I talk to him? - You won't get an answer.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14- A month after finishing this place, lost his mind.- Why, what happened?

0:21:14 > 0:21:17He started raving about witches, hearing voices, babbling.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- His mind was addled.- Where is he now? - Bedlam.- What's Bedlam? - Bethlem Hospital, the madhouse.

0:21:21 > 0:21:27- We've gotta go there, right now, come on!- I'm coming with you! I want to witness this at first hand. Ralph,

0:21:27 > 0:21:31the last scene, as promised, copy it, hand it round, learn it, speak it.

0:21:31 > 0:21:37Back before curtain-up, and remember, kid, project, eyes and teeth, you never know the Queen might turn up!

0:21:37 > 0:21:40As if! She never does.

0:21:40 > 0:21:45So tell me of Freedonia - where women can be doctors, writers, actors?

0:21:45 > 0:21:48- This country's ruled by a woman. - She's Royal, that's God's business.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Though you are a Royal beauty.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54Whoa, Nelly. I know for a fact you've got a wife in the country.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56- But Martha, this is town.- Come on!

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- We can all have a good flirt later! - Is that a promise, Doctor?

0:22:00 > 0:22:04Oh, 57 academics just punched the air, now move!

0:22:07 > 0:22:12Love's Labours Won. I don't think much of sequels, they're never as good as the original.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14Have you seen this bit? He must've been dozing off!

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- I don't even know what it means. - That goes for most of his stuff.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Ah, but at least it's my speech!

0:22:20 > 0:22:22I get centre stage!

0:22:24 > 0:22:29"The light of Shadmoch's hollow moon, doth shine on to a point in space,

0:22:29 > 0:22:31"betwixt Dravidian shores..."

0:22:31 > 0:22:34HOWLING WIND

0:22:34 > 0:22:36What was that?

0:22:36 > 0:22:42"..Dravidian shores and linear five, nine three o one six."

0:22:42 > 0:22:44A spirit stirs the ether!

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Too soon! Too soon!

0:22:48 > 0:22:52Naught to fear, my mothers,

0:22:52 > 0:22:55it is merely a rehearsal of what's to come.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00"And strikes the fulsome grove of Rexel Four..."

0:23:03 > 0:23:05By all the saints!

0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's a spirit!

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- CREATURE SHRIEKS - It's a vile shade.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20I think we should never speak of this again,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23else we'll end up in Bedlam ourselves.

0:23:24 > 0:23:29MOANS, WAILS AND CLATTER OF SHACKLES

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Does my Lord Doctor wish some entertainment while he waits?

0:23:34 > 0:23:37I can whip these mad men, they'll put on a good show for you.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Bandog and Bedlam!- No. I don't.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Wait here, my lords while I...

0:23:43 > 0:23:45make him decent for the lady.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49So, you call this a hospital?! Where patients are whipped to entertain the gentry.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53- And you put your friend in here?- Oh, it's all so different in Freedonia.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56But you're clever! D'you honestly think this place does any good?

0:23:56 > 0:24:01I've been mad, I've lost my mind. The fear of this place set me right again, it serves its purpose.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Mad in what way?- You lost your son.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05My only boy.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08The Black Death took him. I wasn't even there.

0:24:08 > 0:24:09I didn't know, I'm sorry.

0:24:09 > 0:24:15It made me question everything. The futility of this fleeting existence. To be or not to be...

0:24:15 > 0:24:16Ooh...

0:24:16 > 0:24:18that's quite good.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20You should write that down.

0:24:20 > 0:24:21Maybe not, bit pretentious.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23This way, my lord.

0:24:25 > 0:24:30WAILING

0:24:39 > 0:24:44- They can be dangerous. Don't know their own strength.- It helps if you don't whip them. Now, get out.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Peter...

0:24:51 > 0:24:53Peter Streete?

0:24:53 > 0:24:56He's the same as he was.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58You'll get nothing out of him.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Peter?

0:25:06 > 0:25:10What is this? I must see.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17That stranger!

0:25:17 > 0:25:21He was at the inn with Shakespeare.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23I thought then, he smelt of something new.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Now he visits the madhouse - the architect!

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Peter, I'm the Doctor.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Go into the past.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43One year ago.

0:25:43 > 0:25:48Let your mind go back. Back, to when everything was fine and shining.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53Everything that happened in this year since, happened to somebody else.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57It was just a story,

0:25:57 > 0:25:59a winter's tale.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Let go...

0:26:01 > 0:26:03That's it.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05That's it.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Just let go...

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Tell me the story, Peter.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Tell me about the witches.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17Who is this Doctor?

0:26:17 > 0:26:21Why does he come now, at our time of glory?

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Doomfinger! Transport yourself!

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Doom the Doctor,

0:26:26 > 0:26:28doom his hide!

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Hide...

0:26:31 > 0:26:34The witches...spoke to Peter.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37In the night, they whispered.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Whispered...

0:26:43 > 0:26:47Got Peter to build the Globe to their design. THEIR design.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49The 14 walls.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53Always 14.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55When the work was done...

0:26:57 > 0:27:01..they snapped poor Peter's wits...

0:27:01 > 0:27:04But where did Peter see the witches? Where in the city?

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Peter, tell me.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09You've got to tell me, where were they?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Allhallows Street...

0:27:14 > 0:27:19- Too many words...- What the hell? Just one touch of the heart.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22NO!

0:27:24 > 0:27:26WITCH WAILS

0:27:26 > 0:27:28A witch, I'm seeing a witch!

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Who would be next, mmm?

0:27:30 > 0:27:34Just one touch...

0:27:34 > 0:27:36WITCHES CACKLE

0:27:36 > 0:27:40I'll stop your frantic hearts.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Poor fragile mortals.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Let us out!- That's not gonna work, the whole building's shouting that!

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Who would die first? Mmm?

0:27:49 > 0:27:54- Well, if you're looking for volunteers.- No don't! - Doctor, can you stop her?

0:27:54 > 0:27:57- No mortal has power over me.- Oh, but there's a power in words.

0:27:57 > 0:28:03- If I can find the right one, if I could just know you... - None on Earth has knowledge of us.

0:28:03 > 0:28:08Then it's a good thing I'm here. Now, think. Humanoid, female, uses shapes and words to channel energy.

0:28:08 > 0:28:09Ah! 14!

0:28:09 > 0:28:14That's it! 14! The 14 stars of the Rexel Planetary Configuration!

0:28:14 > 0:28:18Creature, I name you...Carrionite!

0:28:18 > 0:28:22CREATURE SCREAMS

0:28:23 > 0:28:26What did you do?

0:28:26 > 0:28:30I named her. The power of a name. That's old magic.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32But there's no such thing as magic!

0:28:32 > 0:28:35It's a different sort of science. You chose mathematics.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39The right numbers, the right equation, can split the atom. Carrionites use words.

0:28:39 > 0:28:40Use them for what?

0:28:42 > 0:28:44The end of the world.

0:28:45 > 0:28:49CARRIONITE GASPS

0:28:49 > 0:28:52He knows us!

0:28:52 > 0:28:54He spoke our name!

0:28:54 > 0:28:57Then he will know death!

0:28:57 > 0:28:59He will perish at my hand!

0:28:59 > 0:29:05- BELL TOLLS - My mothers, the time approaches, you must away to the Globe, go!

0:29:05 > 0:29:10I will join you, as soon as this Doctor screams his last!

0:29:10 > 0:29:14The Carrionites disappeared way back at the dawn of the universe.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18- Nobody was sure if they were real or legend.- I'm going for real. - But what do they want?

0:29:18 > 0:29:21A new empire on Earth.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25- A world of bones and blood and witchcraft.- But how?

0:29:25 > 0:29:29I'm looking at the man with the words.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Me? But I've done nothing.

0:29:31 > 0:29:35Hold on, what were you doing last night, when that Carrionite was in the room?

0:29:35 > 0:29:36Finishing the play.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39What happens on the last page?

0:29:39 > 0:29:44The boys get the girls, they have a bit of a dance, it's all as funny and thought-provoking as usual.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Except those last few line.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51Funny thing is, I don't actually remember writing them.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54That's it!

0:29:54 > 0:29:56They used you!

0:29:56 > 0:30:01They gave you the final words, like a spell, like a code! Love's Labour's Won, it's a weapon!

0:30:01 > 0:30:06The right words, spoken in the right place, with the shape of the Globe as an energy-converter!

0:30:06 > 0:30:08The play's the thing! And yes, you can have that!

0:30:10 > 0:30:14FANFARE PLAYS

0:30:17 > 0:30:21We left the lovers of Navarre by cruel chance sep'rated,

0:30:21 > 0:30:27none to claim his heart, their labours lost, now will they find Love's Labours Won?

0:30:27 > 0:30:29CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:30:34 > 0:30:38Allhallows Street, there it is. Martha, we'll track them down, Will, get to the Globe.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Whatever you do, stop that play!

0:30:40 > 0:30:45I'll do it! All these years I've been the cleverest man around. Next to you, I know nothing!

0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Oh, don't complain(!)- I'm not, it's marvellous! Good luck, Doctor!

0:30:48 > 0:30:52- Good luck, Shakespeare! Once more unto the breach!- I like that...

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Wait a minute, that's one of mine!

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Oh, just shift!

0:30:57 > 0:30:59The eye should have contentment where it rests.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02This spun-out year I watch on...

0:31:02 > 0:31:06Patience, my sisters, patience...

0:31:06 > 0:31:09- And mewling poor, drooped men in stench'd...- Stop the play!

0:31:09 > 0:31:15I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but stop! This performance must end, immediately.

0:31:15 > 0:31:16Oh, everyone's a critic.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19- The wordsmith!- Fear not!

0:31:19 > 0:31:20I have the doll!

0:31:20 > 0:31:26I'm sorry, you'll get a refund, but this play must not be performed.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32- Is he drunk or what? - Get him out of the way!

0:31:36 > 0:31:39You must forgive, our irksome Will,

0:31:39 > 0:31:42he's been on the beer and feeling ill.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:31:48 > 0:31:51There is naught can stop us now!

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Allhallows Street.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57But which house?

0:31:57 > 0:32:00Thing is though, am I missing something here?

0:32:00 > 0:32:04The world didn't end in 1599, it just didn't. Look at me, I'm living proof.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07Oh, how to explain the mechanics of the Infinite Temporal Flux? I know!

0:32:07 > 0:32:11- Back to the Future! It's like Back to the Future!- The film?

0:32:11 > 0:32:15No, the novelisation, yes the film! Marty McFly goes back and changes history...

0:32:15 > 0:32:19And he starts fading away! Oh, my God, am I gonna fade?

0:32:19 > 0:32:23You and the entire future of the human race - it ends, right now,

0:32:23 > 0:32:25in 1599, if we don't stop it.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27But which house?

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Make that "witch" house.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49I take it we're expected?

0:32:49 > 0:32:53Oh, I think death has been waiting for you a very long time.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Right then! It's my turn.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57I know how to do this.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00I name thee, Carrionite!

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Argh! Huh...

0:33:02 > 0:33:04What was wrong? The finger?

0:33:04 > 0:33:06The power of a name works only once.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07Observe.

0:33:07 > 0:33:12I gaze upon this bag of bones, and now I name thee Martha Jones!

0:33:12 > 0:33:13What have you done?

0:33:15 > 0:33:18Only sleeping, alas. It's curious,

0:33:18 > 0:33:22the name has less impact, she's somehow out of her time.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25And as for you, Sir Doctor...

0:33:26 > 0:33:27Fascinating.

0:33:29 > 0:33:30There is no name.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34Why would a man hide his title in such despair?

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Oh! But look!

0:33:38 > 0:33:42- There's still one word with a power that aches... - The naming won't work on me.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46But your heart grows cold, the north wind blows

0:33:46 > 0:33:48and carries down, the distant...

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Rose.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53Oh, big mistake

0:33:53 > 0:33:55cos that name keeps me fighting.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58The Carrionites vanished, where did you go?

0:33:58 > 0:34:02The Eternals found the right word to banish us into Deep Darkness.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Then how did you escape? - New words, new and glittering.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08From a mind like no other.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Shakespeare?

0:34:11 > 0:34:13His son perished!

0:34:13 > 0:34:16The grief of a genius -

0:34:16 > 0:34:18grief without measure,

0:34:18 > 0:34:21madness enough to allow us entrance.

0:34:21 > 0:34:26- How many of you?- Just the three. But the play tonight shall restore the rest.

0:34:26 > 0:34:30Then the human race will be purged, as pestilence.

0:34:30 > 0:34:36And from this world, we will lead the universe back into the old ways of blood and magic.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40Mmm, busy schedule. But first...

0:34:40 > 0:34:42you've got to get past me.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Oh, that should be a pleasure...

0:34:45 > 0:34:49considering my enemy has such a handsome shape.

0:34:49 > 0:34:54Now that's one form of magic that's definitely not going to work on me.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56- Oh, we'll see. - SNIP!

0:34:56 > 0:34:58What was that for, what did you do?

0:34:58 > 0:35:00A souvenir.

0:35:00 > 0:35:01Well, give it back!

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Well, that's just cheating.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09Behold, Doctor.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11Men, to Carrionites, are nothing

0:35:11 > 0:35:13but puppets.

0:35:14 > 0:35:19Now, you might call that magic, I'd call that a DNA Replication Module.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21What use is your science now?

0:35:27 > 0:35:31Oh, my God, Doctor! Don't worry, I've got you.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36Hold on, mister.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Two hearts?!

0:35:38 > 0:35:40You're making a habit of this.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Ow!

0:35:42 > 0:35:47I've only got one heart working, how do you people cope?

0:35:47 > 0:35:51I gotta get the other one started, hit me! Hit me on the chest. Argh!

0:35:51 > 0:35:55Other side! Argh! On the back, on the back.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Left a bit. Argh!

0:35:59 > 0:36:05Lovely. There we go! Ba-da-boom! Well what are you standing there for? Come on, the Globe!

0:36:07 > 0:36:10The Doctor?

0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Dead. - The ladies have prepared a show.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17Maria means to present Isis descending from the dewy orb of Heav'n.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Ah, here comes Costard.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21CHEERS

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Masters!

0:36:26 > 0:36:27AUDIENCE WHISTLES

0:36:27 > 0:36:31- We're going the wrong way! - No, we're not!

0:36:31 > 0:36:33We're going the wrong way!

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Behold the swinish sight of woman's love!

0:36:38 > 0:36:42Pish, it's out of season to be heavy disposed.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44It is now, my mothers!

0:36:44 > 0:36:46The final words, to activate the tetradecagon!

0:36:46 > 0:36:53Betwixt Dravidian shores and linear five, nine, three, o, one, six, seven, point, o, two

0:36:53 > 0:36:59and strikes the fulsome grove of Rexel Four. Co-radiating crystal activate!

0:36:59 > 0:37:03The portal opens! It begins!

0:37:03 > 0:37:05THEY CACKLE

0:37:05 > 0:37:08PEOPLE SCREAM

0:37:08 > 0:37:10I told thee so! I told thee!

0:37:13 > 0:37:14Stage door!

0:37:33 > 0:37:37Stop the play! I think that was it. Yes, I said, "Stop the play!"

0:37:37 > 0:37:39- I hit my head.- Yeah, don't rub it, you'll go bald.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42I think that's my cue.

0:37:43 > 0:37:48CARRIONITES: Now begins the Millennium of Blood!

0:37:51 > 0:37:53The Doctor, he lives!

0:37:53 > 0:37:57Then watch this world become a blasted heath!

0:37:57 > 0:37:59They come! They come!

0:38:32 > 0:38:37- Come on, Will! History needs you! - But what can I do?- Reverse it! - How am I supposed to do that?

0:38:37 > 0:38:40The shape of the Globe gives words power, you're the wordsmith -

0:38:40 > 0:38:43the one, true genius, the only man clever enough to do it.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46- What words? I have none. - You're William Shakespeare!

0:38:46 > 0:38:51- But these Carrionite phrases, they need such precision.- Trust yourself.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54With you the words just come like magic!

0:38:54 > 0:38:58The right sound, the right shape, the right rhythm, words that last forever.

0:38:58 > 0:39:03That's what you do, Will, you choose perfect words, do it! Improvise!

0:39:09 > 0:39:13Close up this din of hateful dire decay!

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Decomposition of your witches' plot.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18You thieve my brains, consider me your toy

0:39:18 > 0:39:21my doting Doctor tells me I am not!

0:39:21 > 0:39:24No! Words of power!

0:39:24 > 0:39:30Foul Carrionite spectres cease your show between the points...

0:39:30 > 0:39:32Seven, six, one, three, nine, o...

0:39:32 > 0:39:34Sev'n, six, one, three, nine, o..

0:39:34 > 0:39:39And banished like a tinker's cuss, I say to thee...

0:39:41 > 0:39:44Expelliamus!

0:39:44 > 0:39:48- Expelliamus!- Expelliamus! - Good old JK!

0:39:48 > 0:39:52CARRIONITES SHRIEK

0:39:52 > 0:39:57The Deep Darkness... They are consumed! No...!

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Love's Labours Won!

0:40:13 > 0:40:14There it goes!

0:40:14 > 0:40:18CARRIONITES SCREAM

0:40:23 > 0:40:26AUDIENCE GASPS

0:40:29 > 0:40:32RIPPLE OF APPLAUSE

0:40:36 > 0:40:41CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:40:46 > 0:40:48They think it was all special effects.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51Your effect is special indeed.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53That's not your best line.

0:40:53 > 0:40:57WHISTLES AND WHOOPS

0:41:23 > 0:41:28And I say, a heart for a hart, a dear for a deer.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31- I don't get it. - Then give me a joke from Freedonia.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34OK. Shakespeare walks into a pub

0:41:34 > 0:41:39and the landlord says, "Oi, mate, you're barred."

0:41:39 > 0:41:43Oh, that's brilliant! Doesn't make sense, mind you, but never mind that, come here.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45I've only just met you.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48The Doctor might never kiss you. Why not entertain a man who will?

0:41:50 > 0:41:55I don't know how to tell you this, oh, great genius, but your breath doesn't half stink.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58Good props store, back there.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00Not sure about this, though,

0:42:00 > 0:42:02reminds me of a Sycorax.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05Sycorax? Nice word. I'll have that off you as well.

0:42:05 > 0:42:09- I should be on 10%. How's your head? - Still aching.- 'Ere...

0:42:09 > 0:42:11I got you this...

0:42:11 > 0:42:12Neck brace.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16Wear that for a few days, till it's better. Although,

0:42:16 > 0:42:19- you might want to keep it, suits you.- What about the play?

0:42:19 > 0:42:23Gone. I looked all over, every single copy of Love's Labours Won, went up in the sky.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27- My lost masterpiece. - You could write it up again.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Yeah, better not, Will.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32There's still power in those words, maybe it'd best stay forgotten.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34Oh, but I've got new ideas!

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Perhaps it's time I wrote about fathers and sons.

0:42:37 > 0:42:39In memory of my boy. My precious Hamnet.

0:42:39 > 0:42:43- Hamnet?- That's him.- Ham...net? - What's wrong with that?- Anyway,

0:42:43 > 0:42:49time we were off. I've got a nice attic in the Tardis, where this lot can scream for all eternity.

0:42:49 > 0:42:54- I've gotta take Martha back to Freedonia.- You mean travel on through time and space?

0:42:54 > 0:42:58- You what?- You're from another world, like the Carrionites. Martha's from the future.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00It's not that hard to work out.

0:43:00 > 0:43:05- That's incredible. You are incredible! - We're alike in many ways, Doctor.

0:43:05 > 0:43:09Martha, let me say goodbye to you with a new verse.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12A sonnet for my Dark Lady.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

0:43:16 > 0:43:20Thou art more lovely and more temperate...

0:43:20 > 0:43:24Will! You'll never believe it! She's here! She's turned up!

0:43:24 > 0:43:29We're the talk of the town. She heard about last night, she wants us to perform it again!

0:43:29 > 0:43:31- Who?- Her Majesty, she's here.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33FANFARE PLAYS

0:43:35 > 0:43:36Queen Elizabeth the First!

0:43:36 > 0:43:38Doctor!

0:43:38 > 0:43:41- What?- My sworn enemy!

0:43:41 > 0:43:44- What?- Off with his head!- What?!

0:43:44 > 0:43:49- Never mind what, run! See you, Will! And thanks!- Stop that pernicious Doctor!

0:43:54 > 0:43:56Stop, in the name of the Queen!

0:43:56 > 0:43:59- What have you done to upset her?- I don't know. I haven't met her yet!

0:43:59 > 0:44:03That's time travel for you! Still, can't wait to find out...

0:44:03 > 0:44:05that's something to look forward to!

0:44:05 > 0:44:07Oh...

0:44:12 > 0:44:14We're in the middle of New New York...

0:44:14 > 0:44:16He has arrived.

0:44:20 > 0:44:21You've got to let her go!

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Doctor!- No!

0:44:24 > 0:44:27- I need to talk to the police. - HORNS BEEP

0:44:27 > 0:44:31- You want happy?- Bucket of anger. - How much do you want forgetting?

0:44:31 > 0:44:32Well dressed for a hitch-hiker.

0:44:32 > 0:44:35They say people go missing on the motorway.

0:44:35 > 0:44:38Some cars just vanish, never to be seen again.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40Is there something living down there?

0:44:40 > 0:44:42What the hell are they?
