0:00:55 > 0:00:57'Zero.'
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- You got a zero, didn't you? - Yeah. So?
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- You'll have to walk home, then. - Walk to London? That's 20 decks!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10You can't ride a Vator with a zero. You know what happens.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12You'll get sent below.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I'll wait for you.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34'Welcome to Vator Verse,

0:01:42 > 0:01:45'One has a plan, but both must go

0:02:04 > 0:02:05Help!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Help me!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12HE YELLS
0:02:56 > 0:02:58My name is Amy Pond.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05When I was seven, I had an imaginary friend.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Last night was the night before my wedding...- Come on, Pond.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10..and my imaginary friend came back.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- NOW do you believe me? - OK, your box is a spaceship.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20It's really, really a spaceship.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23We are in space! Whoo!
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- What are we breathing?- I've extended the air shell - we're fine.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Now, that's interesting.
0:03:32 > 0:03:3529th Century. Solar flares roast the earth,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and the entire human race packs its bags
0:03:38 > 0:03:41and moves out till the weather improves.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Whole nations...- Doctor? - ..migrating to the stars.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Doctor?- Isn't that amazing?
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Doctor!
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Well, come on.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56I've found us a spaceship.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01This is the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland -
0:04:01 > 0:04:04all of it, bolted together and floating in the sky.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Starship UK. It's Britain,
0:04:07 > 0:04:08but metal.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12That's not just a ship - that's an idea.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14That's a whole country,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18living and laughing and...
0:04:18 > 0:04:19shopping.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20SHE CHUCKLES
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Searching the stars for a new home.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- Can we go out and see?- Course we can but first, there's a thing.- A thing?
0:04:28 > 0:04:29An important thing.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31In fact, thing one -
0:04:31 > 0:04:35we are observers only. That's the one rule I've always stuck to in my travels.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I never get involved in the affairs of other peoples or planets. Ooh!
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- That's interesting.- So we're like a wildlife documentary, yeah?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Cos if they see a wounded cub or something, they can't just save it -
0:04:45 > 0:04:48they've got to keep filming and let it die.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51That's got to be hard.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I don't think I could do that.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Don't you find that hard - being all, like, detached and cold?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Doctor?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- TANNOY:- 'Welcome to London Market.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15'You are being monitored.'
0:05:15 > 0:05:16I'm in the future.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Like hundreds...of years in the future.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- I've been dead for centuries. - Oh, lovely.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26You're a cheery one.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Never mind dead, look at this place. Isn't it wrong?- What's wrong?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Use your eyes, notice everything. What's wrong with this picture?
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Is it...the bicycles?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Bit unusual on a spaceship, bicycles. - Says the girl in the nightie.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Oh, my God! I'm in my nightie.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Now, come on, look around you. Actually look.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- TANNOY:- 'London Market is a crime-free zone.'
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Life on a giant starship, back to basics.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Bicycles, washing lines, wind-up street lamps.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55But look closer. Secrets and shadows, lives led in fear.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Society bent out of shape, on the brink of collapse. A police state.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Excuse me.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01What are you doing?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Sorry.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Checking all the water in this area.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16There's an escaped fish.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Where was I?- Why did you just do that with the water?
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Don't know. I think a lot. It's hard to keep track. Now, police state - do you see it yet?- Where?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25There.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27SHE CRIES
0:06:39 > 0:06:41PHONE RINGS
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Are you sure?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Saw it myself.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51'Are you going to tell her?'
0:06:51 > 0:06:54We're under orders to tell her.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57'Well done. Keep tabs on him.'
0:07:03 > 0:07:05PHONE RINGS
0:07:09 > 0:07:12'Sorry to interrupt. There's been a sighting.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15'London block, Oxford Street.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16'A man.'
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Did he do the thing?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19'Apparently.'
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I'll have a look on the monitors.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41One little girl crying. So?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Crying silently.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I mean, children cry cos they want attention,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48cos they're hurt or afraid.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50When they cry silently, it's cos they just can't stop.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Any parent knows that. - Are you a parent?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Hundreds of parents walking past and not one of them's asking her what's wrong,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02which means...they already know, and it's something they don't talk about.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Secrets. They're not helping her, so it's something they're afraid of.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Shadows - whatever they're afraid of - it's nowhere to be seen,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11which means it's everywhere.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Police state.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20- Where'd she go?- Deck 207, Apple Sesame block, Dwelling 54A. You're looking for Mandy Tanner.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Oh, this fell out of her pocket when I accidentally bumped into her.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Took me four goes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Ask her about those things - the smiling fellows in the booths. They're everywhere.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31But they're just things.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34They're clean.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Everything else here is battered and filthy - look at this place.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41But no-one's laid a finger on those booths. Not a footprint within two feet of them.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Ask Mandy, "Why are people scared of the things in the booths?"
0:08:44 > 0:08:48No. Hang on - what do I do? I don't know what I'm doing here and I'm not even dressed!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50It's this or Leadworth. What do you think?
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Let's see. What will Amy Pond choose?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Ha-ha, gotcha!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Meet me back here in half an hour.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- What are you going to do? - What I always do.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Stay out of trouble.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Badly.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14So is this how it works, Doctor?
0:09:14 > 0:09:19You never interfere in the affairs of other peoples or planets, unless there's children crying?
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Yes.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42You're following me.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Saw you watching me at the marketplace.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46You dropped this.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Yeah, when your friend kept bumping into me.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55What's that?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57There's a hole. We have to go back.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59A what? A hole?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Are you stupid? There's a hole in the road. We can't go that way.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06There's a travel pipe down by the airlocks, if you've got stamps. What are you doing?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Oh, don't mind me.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Never could resist a "keep out" sign.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13What's through there? What's so scary about a hole?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Something under the road?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Nobody knows.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19We're not supposed to talk about it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21About what?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Below.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25And because you're not supposed to, you don't?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Watch and learn.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- You sound Scottish.- I am Scottish. What's wrong with that?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Scotland's got to be here somewhere.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37No.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38They wanted their own ship.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Hmm. Good for them. Nothing changes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44So...how did you get here?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Oh, just passing through, you know, with a guy.- Your boyfriend?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Oh.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- What?- Nothing.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's just...I'm getting married.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Funny how things slip your mind.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Married?- Yeah, shut up, married.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Really, actually married.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Almost definitely.- When?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Well, it's kind of weird.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09A long time ago, tomorrow morning.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I wonder what I did.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Hey-hey, result!
0:11:16 > 0:11:17- Coming?- No.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Suit yourself. < WHIRRING
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Stop! You mustn't do that!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oh, my God.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55That's weird. That's...
0:11:57 > 0:11:59SHE SQUEALS
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Can't be.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:12:45 > 0:12:47The impossible truth
0:12:47 > 0:12:49in a glass of water.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Not many people see it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55But you do, don't you, Doctor?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- You know me?- Keep your voice down.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02They're everywhere.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Tell me what you see in the glass.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Who says I see anything?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Don't waste time. At the marketplace,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12you placed a glass of water on the floor, looked at it,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15then came straight here to the engine room. Why?
0:13:16 > 0:13:22No engine vibration on deck. Ship this size, engine this big, you'd feel it. The water would move.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25So...I thought I'd take a look.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It doesn't make sense.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32These power couplings, they're not connected. Look.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Look - they're dummies, see?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And behind this wall, nothing. It's hollow.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- If I didn't know better, I'd say there was...- No engine at all.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44But it's working. This ship is travelling though space. I saw it.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45The impossible truth, Doctor.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49We're travelling among the stars in a spaceship that could never fly.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- How?- I don't know.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54There's a darkness at the heart of this nation.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It threatens every one of us.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Help us, Doctor.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00You're our only hope.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Your friend is safe.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06This will take you to her. Now go, quickly!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Who are you?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12How do I find you again?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17I am Liz 10. And I will find you.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51'May God have mercy on our souls.'
0:17:14 > 0:17:18'This isn't a trick. You've got to find the Doctor and get him back to the TARDIS.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Yeah, your basic memory wipe job. Must have erased about 20 minutes.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- But why would I choose to forget? - Cos everyone does. >
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Everyone chooses the "forget" button.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Did you?
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I'm not eligible to vote yet. I'm 12.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Any time after you're 16, you're allowed to the see the film and make your choice.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05And then, once every five years...
0:18:05 > 0:18:09And once every five years, everyone chooses to forget what they've learned.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Democracy in action.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16How do you not know about this? Are you Scottish too?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Oh, I'm way worse than Scottish.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- I can't even see the movie. Won't play for me.- It played for me.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- The difference being the computer doesn't accept me as human.- Why not?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29You look human.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32No, you look Time Lord.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- We came first. - So there are other Time Lords, yeah?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39No.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41There were, but there aren't...
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Just me now.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Long story. There was a bad day. Bad stuff happened, and you know what?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I'd love to forget it all, every last bit of it, but I don't. Not ever.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Cos this is what I do - every time, every day, every second. This.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Hold tight.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03We're bringing down the government.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Say, "Wheee!"
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Aaargh!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- SHE CHUCKLES - It's all right, love.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It's only me.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48- Where are we?- 600 feet down, 20 miles laterally - puts us at the heart of the ship.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'd say... Lancashire.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54What's this, then - a cave? Can't be a cave. Looks like a cave.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57It's a rubbish dump, and it's minging!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Yes, but only food refuse.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Organic, coming through feeder tubes from all over the ship.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- The floor's all squidgy, like a water bed.- But feeding what, though?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11It's sort of rubbery, feel it. Wet and slimy. DISTANT MOANING
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Er... It's not a floor, it's a...
0:20:18 > 0:20:19So...
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- It's a what?- The next word is kind of the scary word.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Take a moment. Get yourself in a calm place.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Go "omm".
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Omm.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30It's a tongue.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- A tongue? - A tongue. A great big tongue.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36This is a mouth?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39This whole place is a mouth?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- We're in a mouth?!- Yes, yes, yes, but on the plus side, roomy.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- How do we get out? - How big is this beastie?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46It's gorgeous!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Blimey! if this is just the mouth, I'd love to see the stomach. - GRUNTING
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Though not right now. Doctor, how do we get out?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56OK, it's being fed through surgically implanted feeder tubes,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59so the normal entrance is...
0:21:01 > 0:21:03..closed for business.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08We can try, though.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- No! Stop, don't move! Too late. It's started.- What has?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Swallow reflex. - SHE YELLS
0:21:14 > 0:21:19- What are you doing?- I'm vibrating the chemo-receptors.- Chemo-what?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- The eject button.- How does a mouth have an eject button? - Think about it!
0:21:23 > 0:21:26CREATURE GROWLS
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Right, then.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35This isn't going to be big on dignity.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Geronimo! - AMY YELLS
0:21:39 > 0:21:42GRUNTING AND SPLASHING
0:21:46 > 0:21:51There's nothing broken, there's no sign of concussion and yes, you are covered in sick.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Where are we? - Overspill pipe, at a guess.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Oh, God, it stinks. - That's not the pipe.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Oh.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Whoo!
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Can we get out?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07One door, one door switch, one condition.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10We forget everything we saw.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Look familiar?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15That's the carrot.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Ooh, here's the stick.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20There's a creature living in the heart of this ship. What's it doing there?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24No, that's not going to work on me, so come on.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Big old beast below decks, and everyone who protests gets shoved down its throat. That how it works?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Oh, stop it. I'm not leaving and I'm not forgetting
0:22:35 > 0:22:38and what are you fellows going to do about it? Stick out your tongues?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42SHE GASPS
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Doctor?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Look who it is.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59You look a lot better without your mask.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02You must be Amy. Liz.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- Liz 10.- Hi.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Eurgh!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Lovely hair, Amy. Shame about the sick.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11You know Mandy, yeah?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- She's very brave. - How did you find us?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Stuck my gizmo on you.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Been listening in. Nice moves on the hurl escape.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22So, what's the big fella doing here?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24You're over 16, you've voted.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Whatever this is, you've chosen to forget about it.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31No. Never forgot, never voted. Not technically a British subject.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Then who and what are you, and how do you know me?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37You're a bit hard to miss, love. Mysterious stranger,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41MO consistent with higher alien intelligence, hair of an idiot...
0:23:42 > 0:23:45I've been brought up on the stories.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46My whole family was.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Your family?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51They're repairing. Doesn't take them long. Let's move.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59The Doctor. Old drinking buddy of Henry XII.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Tea and scones with Liz II. Vicky was a bit on the fence about you, weren't she?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Knighted and exiled you on the same day.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09And so much for the Virgin Queen, you bad, bad boy!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Liz 10?- Liz 10, yeah.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Elizabeth X. And down!
0:24:22 > 0:24:23I'm the bloody Queen, mate.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Basically, I rule.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34There's a high-speed Vator through there.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35BANGING
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Oh, yeah. There's these things.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Any ideas? - Doctor, I saw one of these up top.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- There was a hole in the road, like it had burst through, like a root.- Exactly like a root.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49It's all one creature - the same one we were inside - reaching out.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It must be growing through the mechanisms of the entire ship.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55What? Like an infestation?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Someone's helping it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Feeding it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Feeding my subjects to it. Come on. We've got to keep moving.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Doctor?
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Oh, Amy.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13BANGING CONTINUES
0:25:13 > 0:25:15We should never have come here.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20'Don't let him investigate.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22'Stop him. Do whatever you have to.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25'Just please, please get the Doctor off this ship.'
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Winder division one.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Ten has penetrated to the lower levels.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Initiate the protocol.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41God save the Queen.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Why all the glasses?
0:25:47 > 0:25:51To remind me every single day that my government is up to something,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and it's my duty to find out what.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58A queen going undercover to investigate her own kingdom?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Secrets are being kept from me.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I don't have a choice.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Ten years I've been at this - my entire reign -
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and you've achieved more in one afternoon.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13How old were you when you came to the throne?
0:26:14 > 0:26:1540. Why?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19What, you're 50 now? No way!
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Yeah, they slowed my body clock. Keeps me looking like the stamps.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- And you always wear this in public? - Undercover's not easy when you're me.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30The autographs, the bunting.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Air-balanced porcelain.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Stays on by itself, cos it's perfectly sculpted to your face.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yeah. So what?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Oh, Liz.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44So everything.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46DOOR OPENS >
0:26:46 > 0:26:48What are you doing?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51How dare you come in here?
0:26:51 > 0:26:55Ma'am, you have expressed interest in the interior workings of Starship UK.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You will come with us now.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Why would I do that?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07How can they be Smilers?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Half Smiler, half human.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Whatever you creatures are,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I am still your queen.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17On whose authority is this done?
0:27:17 > 0:27:18The highest authority, Ma'am.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- I AM the highest authority. - Yes, ma'am.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- You must go now, Ma'am.- Where?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26The tower, Ma'am.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Doctor, where are we?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43The lowest point of Starship UK.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- The dungeon.- Ma'am.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Hawthorne!
0:27:48 > 0:27:51So this is where you hid yourself away.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- I think you've got some explaining to do.- There's children down here. What's all that about?
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Protesters and citizens of limited value are fed to the beast.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03For some reason, it won't eat the children.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06You're the first adults it's spared. You're very lucky.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Yeah, look at us. Torture chamber of the Tower of London.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Lucky, lucky, lucky.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Except it's not a torture chamber, is it?
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Well, except it is.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Except it isn't.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Depends on your angle.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22What's that?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Well, like I say, depends on the angle.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- It's either the exposed pain centre of big fella's brain, being tortured relentlessly...- Or?
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Or it's the gas pedal, the accelerator - Starship UK's go-faster button.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- I don't understand.- Don't you?
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Try, go on. The spaceship that could never fly, no vibration on deck.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43This creature - this poor, trapped, terrified creature.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47It's not infesting you, it's not invading -
0:28:47 > 0:28:50it's what you have instead of an engine.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52And this place down here is where you hurt it,
0:28:52 > 0:28:55where you torture it, day after day, just to keep it moving.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03Tell you what.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Normally, it's above the range of human hearing.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14This is the sound none of you wanted to hear.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18ROARING & HIGH-PITCHED SHRIEKING
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Stop it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31RHYTHMIC BANGING
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Who did this?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43We act on instructions from the highest authority.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- I- am the highest authority.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50The creature will be released, now.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54I said now!
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Is anyone listening to me?- Liz.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Your mask.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02What about my mask?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Look at it. It's old.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08At least 200 years old, I'd say.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Yeah, it's an antique, so?
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Yeah, an antique made by craftsmen over 200 years ago and perfectly sculpted to your face.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21They slowed your body clock, all right, but you're not 50.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Nearer 300.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27And it's been a long old reign.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Nah, it's ten years.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I've been on this throne ten years.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Ten years.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36And the same ten years over and over again,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39always leading you...
0:30:39 > 0:30:40here.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53What have you done?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Only what you have ordered.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58We work for you, Ma'am.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03The Winders, the Smilers, all of us.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05'If you are watching this...
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- 'If- I- am watching this,
0:31:07 > 0:31:11'then I have found my way to the Tower Of London.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14'The creature you are looking at
0:31:14 > 0:31:16'is called a Star Whale.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20'Once, there were millions of them.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24'They lived in the depths of space and, according to legend,
0:31:24 > 0:31:28'guided the early space travellers through the asteroid belts.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30'This one,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32'as far as we are aware,
0:31:32 > 0:31:34'is the last of its kind.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37'And what we have done to it
0:31:37 > 0:31:40'breaks my heart.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44'The Earth was burning.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49'Our sun had turned on us, and every other nation had fled to the skies.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51'Our children screamed
0:31:51 > 0:31:53'as the skies grew hotter.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56'And then it came,
0:31:56 > 0:31:58'like a miracle.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00'The last of the star whales.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03'We trapped it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05'We built our ship around it,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08'and we rode on its back to safety.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12'If you wish our voyage to continue,
0:32:12 > 0:32:15'then you must press the "forget" button.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19'Be again the heart of this nation,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21'untainted.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24'If not,
0:32:24 > 0:32:26'press the other button.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31'Your reign will end, the Star Whale will be released,
0:32:31 > 0:32:33'and our ship will disintegrate.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38'I hope I keep the strength to make the right decision.'
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I voted for this?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Why would I do that?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Because you knew if we stayed here,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51I'd be faced with an impossible choice.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Humanity or the alien.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58You took it upon yourself to save me from that.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00And that was wrong.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02You don't ever decide what I need to know.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04I don't even remember doing it.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06You did it. That's what counts.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09I'm... I'm sorry.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Oh, I don't care.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15When I'm done here, you're going home.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Why?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Because I made a mistake?
0:33:23 > 0:33:24One mistake?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I don't even remember doing it. Doctor!
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Yeah. I know.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31You're only human.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33What are you doing?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37The worst thing I'll ever do.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41I'm going to pass a massive electrical charge through the Star Whale's brain.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Should knock out all its higher functions, leave it a vegetable.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47The ship will still fly, but the whale won't feel it.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- That'll be like killing it. - Look, three options.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55One - I let the Star Whale continue in unendurable agony
0:33:55 > 0:33:56for hundreds more years.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Two - I kill everyone on this ship.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04Three - I murder a beautiful, innocent creature as painlessly as I can.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07And then I find a new name, cos I won't be the Doctor any more.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09There must be something we can do, some other way.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14Nobody talk to me. Nobody human has anything to say to me today!
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Timmy!
0:34:40 > 0:34:42You made it, you're OK!
0:34:42 > 0:34:44It's me - Mandy.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00'Come on, use your eyes. Notice everything.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01'Notice everything.'
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Our children screamed.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- It came, like a miracle. - It won't eat the children.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Children screamed. Then it came. It's the last of its kind.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14- Just me now.- The last of its kind. - Is this how it works, Doctor?
0:35:14 > 0:35:19- Never interfere with other peoples or planets...- Children screamed. - ..unless it's children crying.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- The last of its kind.- Just me now.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Unless there's children crying.- Yes.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- 'It won't eat the children.' - 'Then it came.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29'Like a miracle.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32'The last of the Star Whales.'
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Doctor, stop.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Whatever you're doing, stop it now!
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Sorry, Your Majesty, going to need a hand.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Amy, no! No!
0:35:46 > 0:35:49WHALE ROARS
0:35:49 > 0:35:52CRASHING AND SCREAMING
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Amy, what have you done?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Nothing at all.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Am I right?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- We've INCREASED speed.- Yeah, well, you've stopped torturing the pilot.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Gotta help.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13It's still here?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17I don't understand.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20The Star Whale didn't come like a miracle all those years ago.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22It volunteered.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25You didn't have to trap it or torture it -
0:36:25 > 0:36:27that was all just you.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30It came because it couldn't stand to watch your children cry.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36What if you were really old, and really kind and alone?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Your whole race dead, no future.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41What couldn't you do then?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45If you were that old, and that kind,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48and the very last of your kind...
0:36:48 > 0:36:52you couldn't just stand there and watch children cry.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15From Her Majesty.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18She says there will be no more secrets on Starship UK.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28Amy, you could have killed everyone on this ship.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33You could have killed a Star Whale.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37And you saved it.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39I know, I know.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Amazing, though, don't you think?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51The Star Whale.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55All that pain and misery...
0:37:57 > 0:37:59..and loneliness.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04And it just made it kind.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08- But you couldn't have known how it would react.- YOU couldn't.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11But I've seen it before.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Very old and very kind, and the very, very last.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Sound a bit familiar?
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Hey.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27What?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Gotcha.- Ha!
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Gotcha.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Shouldn't we say goodbye? Won't they wonder where we went?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43For the rest of their lives.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Oh, the songs they'll write!
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Never mind them. Big day tomorrow.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Sorry, what?- Well, it's always a big day tomorrow.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53We've got a time machine. I skip the little ones.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57You know what I said about getting back for tomorrow morning...
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Have you ever run away from something because you were scared,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07or not ready, or just...
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Just because you could?
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Once...a long time ago.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16What happened?
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Hello! - PHONE RINGS
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Right.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Doctor, there's something I haven't told you.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29No. Hang on, is that a phone ringing?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32People phone you?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Well, it's a phone box. Would you mind?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36PHONE CONTINUES TO RING
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Hello?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Sorry, who?

0:39:50 > 0:39:54Says he's Prime Minister. First the Queen, now the Prime Minister. Get about, don't you?
0:39:54 > 0:39:55Which Prime Minister?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Er, which Prime Minister?
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- The British one. - Which British one?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Which British one?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Winston Churchill for you.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Oh! Hello, dear. What's up?
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Tricky situation, Doctor.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Potentially very dangerous.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20I think I'm going to need you.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Don't worry about a thing, Prime Minister. We're on our way.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29METALLIC THRUMMING
0:40:29 > 0:40:31In bed above, we're deep asleep
0:40:31 > 0:40:35While greater love lies further deep
0:40:35 > 0:40:37This dream must end
0:40:37 > 0:40:38This world must know
0:40:38 > 0:40:41We all depend on the beast below.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Winston Churchill. - Doctor, is it you?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Cabinet War Rooms, right?
0:41:00 > 0:41:04I have something to show you. Our new secret weapon.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- This is one of my ironsides. - Your what?

0:41:10 > 0:41:13- You didn't invent them, they're alien.- They'll win me rewards.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16They're up to something, but what is it? What are they after?
0:41:16 > 0:41:20I've defeated you time and again. I've saved the whole of reality from you.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23I am the Doctor, and you are the Daleks.
