0:00:08 > 0:00:10Ooh, smell that air!

0:00:10 > 0:00:14Grass and lemonade and a little bit of mint,

0:00:14 > 0:00:16a hint of mint, must be the 1920s.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20You can tell what year it is just by smelling?

0:00:20 > 0:00:25- Oh, yeah! - Or maybe that big vintage car coming up the drive gave it away(!)

0:00:27 > 0:00:29HORN TOOTS

0:00:32 > 0:00:35The professor's luggage, Richard, step lively.

0:00:37 > 0:00:38Good afternoon, Professor Peach.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Hello, Greeves old man.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Ah... Reverend!

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Professor Peach! Beautiful day.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49- The Lord's in his heaven, all's right with the world. - Reverend Golightly.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Lady Eddison requests that you make yourselves comfortable in your rooms.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Cocktails will be served on the lawn from half past four.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59You go on up. I need to check something in the library. Alone.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00It's supposed to be a party.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03All this work, it'll be the death of you!

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Never mind Planet Zog...

0:01:05 > 0:01:08A party in the 1920s, that's more like it!

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Trouble is, we haven't been invited.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Oh, I forgot, yes, we have!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19I was right. Kept secret all these years...

0:01:19 > 0:01:22It's unbelievable!

0:01:22 > 0:01:24But why didn't they ask...? Heavens!

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Oh, it's you.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28I was just doing a little research...

0:01:28 > 0:01:32I say, what are you doing with that lead piping?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37But that's impossible... No! No-!

0:02:14 > 0:02:17We'll be late for cocktails!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22What d'you think? Flapper or slapper?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Flapper. You look lovely!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35SLOW PIANO MUSIC PLAYS

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Look sharp, we have guests!

0:02:37 > 0:02:38Good afternoon!

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Drinks, sir? Ma'am?

0:02:41 > 0:02:42Sidecar please.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44And a lime and soda, thank you.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47May I announce Lady Clemency Eddison!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Lady Eddison!

0:02:49 > 0:02:54Forgive me, but who exactly might you be and what are you doing here?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'm the Doctor, and this is Miss Donna Noble, of the Chiswick Nobles.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01IN POSH VOICE: Good afternoon, my lady. Topping day, what?

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Spiffing! Top hole!

0:03:03 > 0:03:05No, no, no, no. No. Don't do that, don't.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09We were thrilled to receive your invitation, my lady.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11We met at the Ambassador's reception.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Doctor, how could I forget you?

0:03:13 > 0:03:15But one must be sure with the Unicorn on the loose.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18A unicorn? Brilliant! Where?

0:03:18 > 0:03:21The Unicorn. The jewel thief.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Nobody knows who he is.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27He's just struck again, snatched Lady Babbington's pearls right from under her nose.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Funny place to wear pearls.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34May I announce the Colonel Hugh Curbishley, the Honourable Roger Curbishley.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36My husband

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- and my son. - Forgive me for not rising.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Never been the same ever since that flu epidemic back in '18.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46My word, you are a super lady.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Oh, I like the cut of your jib.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Chin, chin.- Hello, I'm the Doctor.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- How do you do?- Very well. - Your usual, sir?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Ah, thank you, Davenport. Just how I like it.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59How come she's an Eddison but her husband and son are Curbishleys?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02The Eddison title ascends through her.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04One day Roger will be a lord.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07..Miss Robina Redmond!

0:04:07 > 0:04:11She's the absolute hit of the social scene. A must! Miss Redmond!

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Spiffing to meet you at last, my lady!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- What super fun! - Reverend Arnold Golightly!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Reverend, how are you?

0:04:19 > 0:04:24I heard about the church last Thursday night, those ruffians breaking in.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- You apprehended them.- As the Christian Fathers taught me,

0:04:26 > 0:04:29we must forgive them their trespasses, quite literally.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Some of these young boys deserve a decent thrashing.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Couldn't agree more, sir. - Typical.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40- All the decent men are on the other bus.- Or Time Lords.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42What about this special guest you promised us?

0:04:42 > 0:04:43Here she is!

0:04:43 > 0:04:47A lady who needs no introduction.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Oh, no, please don't.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Thank you, Lady Eddison.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Honestly, there's no need.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Agatha Christie.- What about her?

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- That's me.- No!

0:04:58 > 0:05:00You're kidding!

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Agatha Christie!

0:05:02 > 0:05:04I was just talking about. I said, I bet she's brilliant!

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'm the Doctor, this is Donna. Oh! I love your stuff! What a mind!

0:05:07 > 0:05:15You fool me every time, well, almost every time, well, once or twice, well, once. But it was a good once!

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- You make a rather unusual couple. - No, we're not married!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21- We're not a couple! - Obviously not. No wedding ring.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Oh, you don't miss a trick.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29And I'd stay that way, if I were you. The thrill is in the chase, never in the capture.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34Mrs Christie! I'm so glad you could come, I'm one of your greatest followers.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37I've read all six of your books!

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Is Mr Christie not joining us?

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Is he needed?

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Can't a woman make her own way in the world?

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Don't give my wife ideas!

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Now, Mrs Christie, I've a question. Why a Belgian detective?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Belgians make such lovely buns!

0:05:55 > 0:05:58I say, where on earth's Professor Peach?

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- He'd love to meet Mrs Christie. - Said he was going to the library.

0:06:01 > 0:06:06Miss Chandrakala. Would you go and collect the Professor?

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- At once, my lady. - The date on this newspaper.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12What about it?

0:06:12 > 0:06:14It's the day Agatha Christie disappeared.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Professor Peach?

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Professor?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32She'd just discovered her husband was having an affair.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34You'd never think to look at her. Smiling away.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Well, she's British and moneyed.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40That's what they do, they carry on.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Except for this one time.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46No-one knows exactly what happened, she just vanished...

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Her car will be found by the side of a lake.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Ten days later, Agatha Christie turns up in a hotel in Harrogate.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Said she'd lost her memory.

0:07:00 > 0:07:05She never spoke about the disappearance, till the day she died. But whatever it was...

0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's about to happen.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Right here, right now.- Professor...

0:07:10 > 0:07:11The library!

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Murder! Murder!

0:07:17 > 0:07:18Oh, my goodness!

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Bashed on the head.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22A blunt instrument.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26Watch broke as he fell, time of death was a quarter past four.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Bit of pipe.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Call me Hercule Poirot, but I reckon that's blunt enough.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39Nothing worth killing for in that lot. Dry as dust.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Hold on. The body in the library?

0:07:42 > 0:07:47I mean, Professor Peach, in the library, with the lead piping?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Let me see.- Out of my way!- Gerald!

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Saints preserve us!- Oh, how awful! - Someone should call the police.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56No need. Chief Inspector Smith, known as 'the Doctor'.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Miss Noble's the plucky young girl who helps me out.- I say!

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Go into the sitting room. I will question each of you in turn.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Come along. Do as the Doctor says, leave the room undisturbed.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08"The plucky young girl who helps me out?"

0:08:08 > 0:08:10No policewomen in 1926.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13I'll pluck you in a minute. Why don't we phone the real police?

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well, the last thing we want is PC Plod sticking his nose in.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Especially now I've found this.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Morphic residue.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Morphic? Doesn't sound very 1926.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Gets left behind when certain species genetically re-encode.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30The murderer's an alien?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Which means one of that lot is an alien in human form.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Yeah, but think about it.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37There's a murder, a mystery, and Agatha Christie.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40So? Happens to me all the time.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43No, but isn't that a bit weird?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Agatha Christie didn't walk around surrounded by murders.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50Not really. I mean, that's like meeting Charles Dickens

0:08:50 > 0:08:53and he's surrounded by ghosts, at Christmas.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Well... - Oh, come on! It's not like we

0:08:56 > 0:08:59could drive across country and find Enid Blyton having tea with Noddy.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Could we? Noddy's not real, is he?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Tell me there's no Noddy. - There's no Noddy.

0:09:06 > 0:09:12Next thing you know, you'll be telling me it's like Murder On The Orient Express, and they all did it!

0:09:12 > 0:09:13Murder on the Orient Express?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Oh, yeah, one of your best!

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- But not yet.- Marvellous idea though.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Yeah, tell you what, copyright Donna Noble, OK?

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Anyway! Agatha and I will question the suspects, Donna, you search the bedrooms.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Look for clues, any more residue. You'll need this.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Is that for real?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Go on, you're ever so plucky.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Right then! Solving a murder mystery with Agatha Christie, brilliant!

0:09:39 > 0:09:43How like a man to have fun, while there's disaster all around him.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Sorry, yeah. - I'll work with you, gladly.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47But for the sake of justice.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Not your own amusement.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57Now then, Reverend.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Where were you at a quarter past four?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Let me think.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Why yes, I remember.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07I was unpacking in my room...

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- No alibi then. - CHRISTIE: You were alone?

0:10:10 > 0:10:16- With the Lord one is never truly alone.- And where were you?

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Let me think... I was...

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Oh, yes, I was taking a...

0:10:19 > 0:10:21constitutional, in the fields behind the house.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Just taking a stroll, that's all.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Alone?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Oh, yes, all alone.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Totally alone! Absolutely alone.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Completely, all of the time, I wandered lonely as the proverbial

0:10:35 > 0:10:41cloud, there was no-one else with me not at all. Not ever!

0:10:41 > 0:10:42And where were you?

0:10:42 > 0:10:48At a quarter past four? Well, I went to the toilet when I arrived, and then erm...

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Oh, yes, I remember.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57I was preparing myself, positively buzzing with excitement about the party...

0:10:57 > 0:10:59and the super fun of meeting Lady Eddy...

0:10:59 > 0:11:01We've only got your word for it.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03That's your problem. Not mine.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05And where were you, sir?

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Quarter past four? Dear me, let me think...

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Ah yes, I remember...

0:11:12 > 0:11:16I was in me study reading through military memoirs.

0:11:16 > 0:11:22Fascinating stuff. Took me back to my days in the army.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Started reminiscing...

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Mafeking, you know...

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Terrible war.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Colonel, snap out of it!

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- I was in my study...- No no no, right out of it!- Oh, sorry.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Got a bit carried away there.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43And where were you at a quarter past four, my lady?

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Now let me see...

0:11:47 > 0:11:52Yes, I remember. I was sitting in the Blue Room, taking my afternoon tea.

0:11:52 > 0:11:58It's a ritual of mine, I needed to gather strength for the duty of hostess.

0:11:58 > 0:12:03I then proceeded to the lawn where I met you, Doctor.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07And I said, "And who exactly might you be and what are you doing here?"

0:12:07 > 0:12:12And you said, "I'm the Doctor and this is Miss Donna Noble."

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Yes, yes, you can stop now, I was there for that bit.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Of course. - SHE HICCUPS

0:12:18 > 0:12:20- SHE BURPS - Excuse me.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22No alibis for any of them.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26The secret adversary remains hidden!

0:12:27 > 0:12:32We must look for a motive, use "the little grey cells."

0:12:32 > 0:12:36Oh, yes, little grey cells, good old Poirot.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Do you know, I've been to Belgium, yeah.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I remember...

0:12:43 > 0:12:47I was deep in the Ardennes, trying to find Charlemagne.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50He'd been kidnapped by an insane computer.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Doctor! Doctor!- Sorry.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Charlemagne lived centuries ago.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57I've got a very good memory.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00For such an experienced detective, you missed a big clue.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02That bit of paper on the fire?

0:13:02 > 0:13:06- You were looking the other way! - Yeah, but I saw your reflection.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12You crafty man, and this is all that was left.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19- What's that first letter? N or M? - It's an M. The word is maiden.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22MAIDEN! What does that mean?

0:13:22 > 0:13:23We're still no further forward.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Our nemesis remains at large.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Unless Miss Noble's found something.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39You won't find anything in there.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44- How come it's locked? - Lady Eddison commands it to be so.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46And I "command it" to be otherwise.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Scotland Yard, pip-pip.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Why's it locked in the first place?

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Many years ago, when my father was butler to the family,

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Lady Eddison returned from India with malaria.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04She locked herself in this room for six months until she recovered.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Since then, the room has remained undisturbed.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14There's nothing in here.

0:14:14 > 0:14:19- How long's it been empty? - Forty years.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Why would she seal it off?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25All right, I need to investigate, you just...

0:14:25 > 0:14:26buttle off.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44BUZZING >

0:14:46 > 0:14:491926, they've still got bees...

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Oh, what a noise! All right, busy bee, I'll let you out. Hold on.

0:14:55 > 0:15:01I shall find you with my amazing powers of detection.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13DONNA SCREAMS

0:15:13 > 0:15:16That's impossible!

0:15:16 > 0:15:17Doctor!

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Doctor!

0:15:29 > 0:15:31SHE SCREAMS AGAIN

0:15:31 > 0:15:35It's a giant wasp!

0:15:35 > 0:15:39- What d'you mean, a giant wasp? - I mean a wasp that's giant!

0:15:39 > 0:15:41It's only a silly little insect.

0:15:41 > 0:15:47When I say giant, I don't mean big! I mean flippin' enormous!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Look at its sting!

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Let me see.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53It's gone.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Buzzed off.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59But that's fascinating...

0:15:59 > 0:16:01D-D-D-on't touch it, don't touch it!

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Let me...

0:16:03 > 0:16:09Giant wasp... well, tons of amorphous insectivorous lifeforms,

0:16:09 > 0:16:11but none in this galactic vector.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14I think I understood some of those words.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Enough to know that you're completely potty.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Lost its sting though, that makes it defenceless.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Creature this size, got to be able to grow a new one.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Can we return to sanity?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25There are no such things as giant wasps!

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Exactly. So the question is...

0:16:28 > 0:16:30what's it doing here?

0:16:32 > 0:16:36A murder! That's put the cat among the pigeons, and no mistake!

0:16:36 > 0:16:39It's not the stuff of gossip, Mrs Hart. Continue with your work.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41But who'd want to do in the old Professor?

0:16:41 > 0:16:45He was always asking questions about that book of his, what was all that about?

0:16:45 > 0:16:48A dead man's folly, nothing more.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Though perhaps, if he asked about...

0:16:52 > 0:16:55I must go and see my lady.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05AR-GG-GH-HH!

0:17:05 > 0:17:07THUMP!

0:17:15 > 0:17:16The poor

0:17:16 > 0:17:20little child...

0:17:20 > 0:17:22BUZZING >

0:17:22 > 0:17:24There!

0:17:27 > 0:17:28Come on!

0:17:28 > 0:17:32Hey, this makes a change... there's a monster, and we're chasing IT.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Can't be a monster! It's a trick, they do it with mirrors!

0:17:40 > 0:17:44- By all that's holy! - Oh, but you are wonderful!

0:17:47 > 0:17:51Now just stop, stop there...

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Oi! Fly boy!

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Don't let it get away! Quick, before it reverts back to human form.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04Where are you?

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Come on, there's nowhere to run! Show yourself!

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Oh...

0:18:14 > 0:18:17..that's just cheating!

0:18:17 > 0:18:20My faithful companion. This is terrible.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Excuse me, my lady, but... She was on her way to tell you something.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26She never found me.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29She had an appointment with death instead.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32She said, "The poor little child." Does that mean anything to anyone?

0:18:32 > 0:18:35No children in this house for years.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Highly unlikely there will be.

0:18:38 > 0:18:43Mrs Christie, you must have twigged something!

0:18:43 > 0:18:46You've written simply the best detective stories.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Tell us, what would Poirot do?

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Heaven's sake, cards on the table woman! You should be helping us!

0:18:53 > 0:18:56But... I'm merely a writer.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59Surely you can crack it.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02These events, they're exactly like one of your plots.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05That's what I've been saying! Agatha, that's gotta mean something.

0:19:05 > 0:19:10But what? I've no answers. None.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I'm sorry, all of you, I'm truly sorry.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15But I've failed.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17If anyone can help us, then it's the Doctor, not me.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28Do you know what I think?

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Those books of yours, one day, they could turn them into films!

0:19:32 > 0:19:35They could be talking pictures!

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Talking pictures? Pictures that talk?

0:19:38 > 0:19:43- What do you mean? - Oh, blimey, I've done it again. - I appreciate you trying to be kind.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45But you're right,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48these murders are like my own creations.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's as though someone's mocking me.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- And I've had enough scorn for one lifetime.- Yeah...

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Thing is,

0:19:55 > 0:20:01I had this bloke once, I was engaged, and I loved him, I really did.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05Turns out, he was lying through his teeth. But d'you know what?

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I moved on.

0:20:07 > 0:20:08I was lucky, I found the Doctor.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10It's changed my life.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13There's always someone else.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16I see. Is my marriage the stuff of gossip, now?

0:20:16 > 0:20:17No, I just...

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Sorry.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22No matter.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25The stories are true. I found my husband with another woman.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28A younger, prettier woman. Isn't it always the way?

0:20:28 > 0:20:33Well, mine was with a Giant Spider, but same difference.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37You and the Doctor talk such wonderful nonsense.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Agatha, people love your books, they really do.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43They're gonna be reading them for years to come.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46If only. Try as I might, it's hardly great literature.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Now that's beyond me.

0:20:48 > 0:20:53I'm afraid my books will be forgotten, like ephemera.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Hello, what's that?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Those flower beds were perfectly neat earlier.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Now some of the stalks are bent over.

0:21:07 > 0:21:12There you go! Who'd ever notice that? You're brilliant!

0:21:12 > 0:21:17Oh, someone came here tooled up.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20The sort of stuff a thief would use.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22The Unicorn? He's here!

0:21:22 > 0:21:23The Unicorn and the wasp...

0:21:23 > 0:21:27Your drinks, ladies. Doctor.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Very good, Greeves.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34How about the science stuff? What did you find?

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Vespiform sting.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Vespiforms have got hives in the Silfrax galaxy.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Again, you talk like Edward Lear.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44But for some reason, this one's behaving like a character in one of your books.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Come on, Agatha, what would Miss Marple do?

0:21:47 > 0:21:51She'd have overheard something vital because the murderer thinks she's a harmless old lady.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Clever idea.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Miss Marple? Who writes those?

0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Um... Copyright Donna Noble, add it to the list.- Donna...

0:22:00 > 0:22:03OK, we could split the copyright.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06No. Something's inhibiting my enzymes.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09Ah! I've been poisoned!

0:22:09 > 0:22:11What do we do?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- What do we do?!- Bitter almonds!

0:22:13 > 0:22:16It's cyanide! Sparkling cyanide!

0:22:24 > 0:22:25- Ginger beer!- I beg your pardon? - I need ginger beer!

0:22:25 > 0:22:28The gentleman's gone mad!

0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'm an expert in poisons, Doctor.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33There's no cure! It's fatal!

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Not for me! I can stimulate the inhibited enzymes into reversal...

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Protein! I need protein!

0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Walnuts?- Brilliant!

0:22:43 > 0:22:47I can't understand you! How many words? One! One word!

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Shake, milk shake, milk?

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Milk? No, not milk? Um! Shake shake shake... Cocktail shaker!

0:22:52 > 0:22:55- What do you want, a Harvey Wallbanger?- Harvey Wallbanger?!

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Well, I don't know! - How is Harvey Wallbanger one word?!

0:22:58 > 0:23:00What do you need, Doctor?!

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Salt, I was miming salt! Salt! I need something salty!

0:23:02 > 0:23:04What about this?

0:23:04 > 0:23:06- What is it?- Salt!- That's too salty!

0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Oh, that's too salty! - What about this?!

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- What's that?- Anchovies!

0:23:11 > 0:23:13What is it? What else?

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Um. It's a song? Mammy?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18I don't know, Camptown Races?

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Camptown Races?

0:23:20 > 0:23:23All right then, Towering Inferno!

0:23:23 > 0:23:25It's a shock! Look! Shock! I need a shock!

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Right then, big shock coming up.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Detox!

0:23:44 > 0:23:47I must do that more often!

0:23:47 > 0:23:49I mean the detox.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Doctor, you are impossible! Who are you?

0:23:53 > 0:23:58THUNDER CLAP

0:23:58 > 0:24:01A terrible day for all of us.

0:24:01 > 0:24:07The Professor struck down. Miss Chandrakala, cruelly taken from us.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09And yet, we still take dinner.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11We are British, Doctor.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13What else must we do?

0:24:13 > 0:24:17Then, someone tried to poison me.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Any one of you had the chance to put cyanide in my drink.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22But it rather gave me an idea.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24And what would that be?

0:24:24 > 0:24:25Well.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Poison. Drink up!

0:24:30 > 0:24:34I've laced the soup with pepper.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Ah, I thought it was jolly spicy.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39But the active ingredient of pepper is piperine.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Traditionally used as an insecticide.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48So... Anyone got the shivers?

0:24:49 > 0:24:52THUNDERCLAP

0:24:52 > 0:24:54What the deuce is that?!

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Listen! Listen!

0:24:55 > 0:24:56BUZZING

0:24:56 > 0:24:58No, it can't be...

0:24:58 > 0:25:02BUZZING CONTINUES

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Show yourself, demon!

0:25:09 > 0:25:13No, don't... stay where you are!

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Out, out, out!

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Not you, Agatha. You've got a long life to lead yet.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28Well, we know the butler didn't do it!

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Then who did?

0:25:38 > 0:25:42My jewellery. The Firestone, it's gone!

0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Stolen!- Roger.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48A-A-RR-GGH-HH!

0:25:50 > 0:25:56- My son. My child! - SHE WEEPS

0:25:56 > 0:25:59THUNDER CONTINUES

0:26:13 > 0:26:19That poor footman. Roger's dead and he can't even mourn him.

0:26:19 > 0:26:231926, it's more like the Dark Ages.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Did you enquire after the necklace?

0:26:25 > 0:26:28Lady Eddison brought it back from India. It's worth thousands.

0:26:28 > 0:26:32This thing can sting, it can fly,

0:26:32 > 0:26:36it could wipe us all out in seconds. Why's it playing this game?

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Every murder is essentially the same.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41They are committed because somebody wants something.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44- But what does a Vespiform want? - Doctor, stop it.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47The murderer is as human as you or I.

0:26:47 > 0:26:53You're right... I've been so caught up with Giant Wasps, I've forgotten.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55- You're the expert! - I'm not, I've told you.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58I'm just a purveyor of nonsense.

0:26:58 > 0:27:03No, no, no, cos plenty of people write detective stories, but yours are the best, and why?

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Why are you so good, Agatha Christie?

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Because you understand!

0:27:08 > 0:27:10You've lived,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13you've fought, you've had your heart broken.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15You know about people,

0:27:15 > 0:27:19their passions, their hope and despair and anger, all of those

0:27:19 > 0:27:24tiny, huge things that can turn the most ordinary person into a killer.

0:27:26 > 0:27:27Just think, Agatha!

0:27:27 > 0:27:29If anyone can solve this,

0:27:29 > 0:27:31it's you!

0:27:31 > 0:27:35THUNDERCLAP

0:27:35 > 0:27:38I've called you here, on this endless night,

0:27:38 > 0:27:44because we have a murderer in our midst. And when it comes to detection, there's none finer.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Ladies and gentlemen. I give you...

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Agatha Christie.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53This is a crooked house.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56A house of secrets.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00To understand the solution we must examine them all.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Starting with you,

0:28:02 > 0:28:04Miss Redmond.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08But I'm innocent, surely?

0:28:08 > 0:28:10You've never met these people.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13And these people had never met you!

0:28:13 > 0:28:18I think the real Robina Redmond never left London. You're impersonating her!

0:28:18 > 0:28:21How silly! What proof do you have?

0:28:21 > 0:28:23You said you'd been to the toilet.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27Oh, I know this! If she was really posh, she'd say loo.

0:28:27 > 0:28:32Earlier today, Miss Noble and I found this on the lawn.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Right beneath your bathroom window.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37You heard Miss Noble was searching the bedrooms and panicked.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40You ran upstairs and disposed of the evidence...

0:28:44 > 0:28:46I've never seen that thing before in my life!

0:28:46 > 0:28:52- What's inside it?- The tools of your trade, Miss Redmond.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Or should I say...

0:28:54 > 0:28:57the Unicorn!

0:28:57 > 0:29:00You came to this house with one sole intention.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02To steal the Firestone!

0:29:03 > 0:29:07Oh, all right then. It's a fair cop.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11Yes, I'm the bleedin' Unicorn!

0:29:11 > 0:29:15Ever so nice to meet ya, I don't fink. I took my chance in the dark, and nabbed it.

0:29:15 > 0:29:19Well, go on then, you knobs.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22Arrest me, sling me in jail!

0:29:22 > 0:29:26- So is she the murderer? - Don't be so thick!

0:29:26 > 0:29:30- I might be a thief, but I ain't no killer.- Quite.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32There are darker motives at work.

0:29:32 > 0:29:37And in examining this household, we come to you,

0:29:37 > 0:29:39Colonel!

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Damn it, woman!

0:29:44 > 0:29:46You with your perspicacity!

0:29:46 > 0:29:49You've rumbled me!

0:29:49 > 0:29:53Hugh! You can walk! But why?!

0:29:53 > 0:29:59My darling, how else could I be certain of keeping you by my side?

0:29:59 > 0:30:02- I don't understand.- You're still a beautiful woman, Clemency.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04Sooner or later some chap will turn your head.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07I couldn't bear that.

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Staying in the chair was the only way I could be certain of keeping you.

0:30:11 > 0:30:16Confound it, Mrs Christie, how did you discover the truth?

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Um. Actually, I had no idea.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21- I was just going to say you're completely innocent.- Oh!

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Sorry.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26- Shall I sit down then? - I think you better had.

0:30:28 > 0:30:29So he's not the murderer?

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Indeed not. To find the truth,

0:30:32 > 0:30:37let's return to this.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Far more than the Unicorn's object of desire.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45The Firestone has quite a history.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Lady Eddison...- I've done nothing!

0:30:50 > 0:30:52You brought it back from India, did you not?

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Before you met the Colonel.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58You came home with malaria, and confined yourself to this

0:30:58 > 0:31:04house for six months, in a room that has been kept locked ever since. Which I rather think means...

0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Stop. Please.- I'm so sorry.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08But you had fallen pregnant in India.

0:31:08 > 0:31:13Unmarried and ashamed, you hurried back to England with your confidante, a young maid,

0:31:13 > 0:31:16later to become housekeeper. Miss Chandrakala.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Clemency, is this true?

0:31:18 > 0:31:20My poor baby.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22I had to give him away.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25- The shame of it. - But you've never said a word...

0:31:25 > 0:31:28I had no choice. Imagine the scandal.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30The family name!

0:31:30 > 0:31:32I'm British, I carry on!

0:31:32 > 0:31:35And it was no ordinary pregnancy.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38How can you know that?

0:31:38 > 0:31:39Scuse me, Agatha, this is my territory.

0:31:39 > 0:31:44But when you heard that buzzing sound in the dining room, you said, "It can't be."

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Why did you say that?

0:31:46 > 0:31:48You'd never believe it.

0:31:48 > 0:31:53The Doctor has opened my mind to believe many things.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56It was forty years ago in the heat of Delhi, late one night...

0:32:00 > 0:32:03I was alone. And that's when I saw it...

0:32:03 > 0:32:05A dazzling light in the sky.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08The next day, he came to the house...

0:32:08 > 0:32:12Christopher. The most handsome man I'd ever seen.

0:32:12 > 0:32:17Our love blazed like a wildfire.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19I held nothing back.

0:32:22 > 0:32:28And in return he showed me the incredible truth about himself...

0:32:28 > 0:32:32He'd made himself human, to learn about us. This was his true shape.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38I loved him so much, it didn't matter.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40But he was stolen from me.

0:32:40 > 0:32:441885, the year of the great monsoon.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47The River Jumna rose up and broke its banks.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50He was taken at the flood.

0:32:51 > 0:32:55But Christopher left me a gift, a jewel like no other.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58I wore it always. Part of me never forgot.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01I kept it close.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03Always.

0:33:03 > 0:33:07Just like a man, flashes his family jewels, and you end up with a bun in the oven!

0:33:07 > 0:33:10A "poor little child."

0:33:10 > 0:33:14Forty years ago, Miss Chandrakala took that newborn babe to an orphanage.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16But Professor Peach worked it out.

0:33:16 > 0:33:18He found the birth certificate.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20Oh, that's Maiden... maiden name!

0:33:20 > 0:33:22- Precisely.- So she killed him?

0:33:22 > 0:33:26- I did not! - Miss Chandrakala feared that the Professor had unearthed your secret.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28She was coming to warn you.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31- So she killed her? - I did not!- Lady Eddison

0:33:31 > 0:33:34is innocent.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Because at this point... Doctor.

0:33:36 > 0:33:42Thank you. At this point, when we consider the lies and the secrets,

0:33:42 > 0:33:46and the key to these events, then we have to consider...

0:33:46 > 0:33:49It was you, Donna Noble!

0:33:49 > 0:33:54- What?! Who did I kill?! - No, but you said it, all along, the vital clue...

0:33:54 > 0:33:58That this whole thing is being acted out like a murder mystery.

0:33:58 > 0:33:59Which means...

0:33:59 > 0:34:02It was you, Agatha Christie!

0:34:02 > 0:34:06- I beg your pardon, sir! - So she killed them?

0:34:06 > 0:34:11No, but she wrote! She wrote those brilliant, clever books! And who's her greatest admirer?

0:34:11 > 0:34:13The moving finger points...

0:34:13 > 0:34:16At you, Lady Eddison!

0:34:16 > 0:34:19- Leave me alone! - So she did kill them?

0:34:19 > 0:34:21No! But just think...

0:34:21 > 0:34:25Last Thursday night, what were you doing?

0:34:25 > 0:34:27I was... I was in the library...

0:34:30 > 0:34:35I was reading my favourite Agatha Christie, thinking about her plots, and how clever she must be.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38- How is that relevant?- Just think.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41What else happened on Thursday night?

0:34:43 > 0:34:45I'm sorry?

0:34:45 > 0:34:51You said, on the lawn, this afternoon. Last Thursday night, those boys broke into your church.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53That's correct,

0:34:53 > 0:34:54they did...

0:34:58 > 0:34:59I discovered the two of them.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02Thieves in the night, I was most perturbed...

0:35:04 > 0:35:07What the blazes are you doing boys?

0:35:09 > 0:35:11But I apprehended them.

0:35:11 > 0:35:17Really? A man of God, against two strong lads? A man in his forties?

0:35:17 > 0:35:22Or should I say, forty years old, exactly?

0:35:22 > 0:35:23Oh, my God..!

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Lady Eddison. Your child,

0:35:27 > 0:35:30how old would he be now?

0:35:30 > 0:35:33Forty. He's forty!

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Your child has come home.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37This is poppycock!

0:35:37 > 0:35:43Oh? You said you were taught by the Christian Fathers. Meaning, raised in an orphanage!

0:35:43 > 0:35:46My son... Can it be?

0:35:46 > 0:35:48You found those thieves, Reverend.

0:35:48 > 0:35:54And you got angry! A proper, deep anger, for the first time in your life, and it broke the genetic lock!

0:35:54 > 0:35:56You've changed!

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Put tho-z-z-ze thing-z-z-z

0:36:02 > 0:36:07back where you found them. ZZ-zz-z-zz-z-zz-zz...

0:36:16 > 0:36:18You realised your inheritance!

0:36:18 > 0:36:20After all those years,

0:36:20 > 0:36:22you knew who you were.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24Oh, and then it all kicks off.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Cos this isn't just a jewel, it's a Vespiform Telepathic Recorder!

0:36:27 > 0:36:32It's part of you, your brain, your very essence.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34And when you activated...

0:36:34 > 0:36:40so did the Firestone! It beamed your full identity directly into your mind, and at the same time...

0:36:40 > 0:36:45It absorbed the works of Agatha Christie, directly from Lady Eddison.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47It all became part of you!

0:36:47 > 0:36:51The mechanics of those novels formed a template in your brain!

0:36:51 > 0:36:56You've killed, in this pattern, because that's what you think the world is!

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Turns out we are in the middle of a murder mystery!

0:36:59 > 0:37:00One of yours, Dame Agatha!

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Dame?

0:37:02 > 0:37:07- Oh, sorry, not yet. - So he killed them, yes? Definitely?

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Yes.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Well...

0:37:11 > 0:37:15This has certainly been an entertaining evening.

0:37:15 > 0:37:20Really, you can't believe any of this surely, Lady Eddiz-z-z-z-on?

0:37:20 > 0:37:22Lady who?

0:37:22 > 0:37:24Lady Eddiz-z-z-z-on.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Little bit of buzzing there, Vicar. - Don't make me angry!

0:37:27 > 0:37:30Why, what happens then?

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Damn it, you humanz-z-z-z-z-z-z!

0:37:34 > 0:37:37Worshipping your tribal sky godz-z-z-z!

0:37:37 > 0:37:40I am so much more! That night...

0:37:40 > 0:37:42the universe exploded in my mind!

0:37:42 > 0:37:45I wanted to take what waz-z-z mine.

0:37:45 > 0:37:46And you,

0:37:46 > 0:37:51Agatha Christie, with your railway station bookstall romancez-z-z...

0:37:51 > 0:37:54What'z-z-z- to stop me killing you?

0:37:54 > 0:37:56Oh, my dear God, my child!

0:37:56 > 0:38:00What'z-z-z to stop me killing you all?

0:38:03 > 0:38:05Forgive me!

0:38:05 > 0:38:08No, no Clemency, come back! Keep away, keep away my darling!

0:38:08 > 0:38:10No! No more murder!

0:38:10 > 0:38:16If my imagination made you kill, then my imagination will find a way to stop you, foul creature!

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Great! Now it's chasing us!

0:38:25 > 0:38:28TOOTS HORN

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Over here! Come and get me, Reverend!

0:38:32 > 0:38:37- Agatha, what are you doing? - If I started this, Doctor, then I must stop it!

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Come on!

0:38:53 > 0:38:58It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!

0:38:58 > 0:39:01You said this is the night Agatha Christie loses her memory.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Time is in flux, Donna!

0:39:03 > 0:39:06This could be the night Agatha Christie loses her life

0:39:06 > 0:39:08- and history gets changed! - Where's she going?

0:39:19 > 0:39:22The lake! She's heading for the lake. What's she doing?

0:39:31 > 0:39:34Here I am! The honey in the trap!

0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Come to me, Vespiform... - She's controlling it.

0:39:37 > 0:39:40Its mind is based on her thought processes, they're linked.

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Quite so, Doctor! If I die, then this creature might die with me.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Don't hurt her! You're not meant to be like this,

0:39:47 > 0:39:51- you've got the wrong template in your mind.- It's not listening.

0:40:14 > 0:40:18How do you kill a wasp?

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Drown it. Just like his father.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23Donna, that thing couldn't help itself.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25Neither could I.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34Death comes as the end. And justice is served.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37Murder at the Vicar's Rage.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40Needs a bit of work.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Just one mystery left, Doctor.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46Who exactly are you?

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Ar-gh-hh!

0:40:49 > 0:40:54Oh, it's the Firestone, it's part of the Vespiform's mind! It's dying, and it's connected to Agatha.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06It let her go.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09Right at the end, the Vespiform chose to save someone's life.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Is she all right, though?

0:41:11 > 0:41:12Oh, of course. The amnesia!

0:41:12 > 0:41:16Wiped her mind of everything - the wasp, the murders...

0:41:16 > 0:41:17And us.

0:41:17 > 0:41:22- She'll forget about us.- Yeah but we've solved another riddle. The Mystery of Agatha Christie.

0:41:22 > 0:41:28And tomorrow morning, her car gets found by the side of a lake.

0:41:28 > 0:41:34A few days later she turns up in a hotel in Harrogate with no idea of what just happened.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42No-one'll ever know.

0:41:43 > 0:41:47Lady Eddison, and the Colonel and all the staff, what about them?

0:41:47 > 0:41:50A shameful story. They'd never talk of it. Too British.

0:41:50 > 0:41:54While the Unicorn does a bunk, back to London town.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56She could never even say she was there.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00- But what happens to Agatha? - Oh, great life!

0:42:00 > 0:42:06Met another man, married again, saw the world, wrote and wrote and wrote.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08She never thought her books were any good, though.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10And she must've spent all those years wondering...

0:42:13 > 0:42:18Thing is, I don't think she ever quite forgot.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22A great mind like that! Some of the details kept bleeding through,

0:42:22 > 0:42:24all the stuff her imagination could use.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27- Like Miss Marple!- I should've made her sign a contract.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29And where is it, where is it?

0:42:29 > 0:42:30Hold on...

0:42:30 > 0:42:33Here we go.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38C...

0:42:39 > 0:42:42..that is C for Cybermen,

0:42:42 > 0:42:44C for Carrionites...

0:42:44 > 0:42:48And...

0:42:48 > 0:42:52Christie, Agatha! Look at that.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54She did remember.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57Somewhere in the back of her mind, it all lingered.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59And that's not all.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01Look at the copyright page.

0:43:05 > 0:43:09Facsimile edition... published in the year..

0:43:11 > 0:43:15- 5 billion! - People never stop reading them.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19She is the best selling novelist of all time.

0:43:21 > 0:43:25- But she never knew. - Well, no-one knows how they're going to be remembered.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28All you can do is hope for the best. Maybe that's what kept her writing.

0:43:28 > 0:43:31Same thing keeps me travelling.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33Onwards?

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Onwards!

0:43:40 > 0:43:43This is the biggest library in the universe. So where is everyone?

0:43:46 > 0:43:49- Run, for God's sake run.- Run!

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Professor River Song, archaeologist.

0:43:57 > 0:43:58The shadows are moving again.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01- How could a shadow be infected? - It's Vashta Nerada.

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Run!

0:44:03 > 0:44:06Something came to this library and killed everything in it. Donna?

0:44:06 > 0:44:08Yeah?

0:44:08 > 0:44:10Stay out of the shadows.
