0:00:33 > 0:00:35CAR HORN BLARES

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Oh, my stars. Are you all right?

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Yeah. I'm fine.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50THUNDER CLAPS

0:00:59 > 0:01:00So I've got something for you.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01What?

0:01:07 > 0:01:08You kept it?

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Of course I kept it.

0:01:10 > 0:01:11Why?

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Because this exact leaf had to grow in that exact way in that

0:01:14 > 0:01:16exact place so that precise wind

0:01:16 > 0:01:20could tear it from that precise branch and make it fly into this

0:01:20 > 0:01:23exact face at that exact moment.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30And if just one of those tiny little things had never happened,

0:01:30 > 0:01:31I'd never have met you.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Which makes this the most important leaf in human history.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Oh, my stars! Are you all right?

0:02:05 > 0:02:10Fine! Marvellous. Refulgent. Possibly a touch embarrassed.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- That's not dangerous, is it? - What's not?- Embarrassment.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Not usually. Not to my knowledge.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Good. Hey, phew!

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Mate, I'm so sorry. She wants to be Bryan Robson.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21No worries, my fault. No harm done.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Hello, there.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Clara.- Ah.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29Hello there, Clara.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07She's just a girl.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08How can she be?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12She can't be. She is.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13She can't be.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17She's not possible.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01METALLIC THRUMMING

0:04:07 > 0:04:08DOOR BELL

0:04:08 > 0:04:11So we're moving through actual time?

0:04:14 > 0:04:16So what's it made of? Time?

0:04:16 > 0:04:18If you can just rotor through it, it must be made of stuff,

0:04:18 > 0:04:20like jam's made of strawberries. So what's it made of?

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Well. Not strawberries. No. No, no, no.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24That would be unacceptable.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- And we can go anywhere? - Within reason. Well, I say reason.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31- So, we could go backwards in time? - And space. Yes.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- And forwards in time. - And space. Totally.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36So, where do you want to go? What do you want to see?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43I don't know. You know when someone asks you

0:04:43 > 0:04:46your favourite book and you forget every book you've read?

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- No. Totally not. - Well. That's a thing. That happens.

0:04:49 > 0:04:50And? Back to the question.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54OK. So... So...

0:04:54 > 0:04:55So...

0:04:57 > 0:05:01So, I'd like to see... I would like to see...

0:05:01 > 0:05:02What I would like to see is...

0:05:06 > 0:05:09..something awesome.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Can you feel the light on your eyelids?- Mm-hm.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26That's the light of an alien sun.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Forward a couple of steps.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30OK.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34Are you ready?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Yes. No. Yes.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Welcome to the Rings of Akhaten.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55- It's... - It is. It so completely is.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- But wait! There's more.- More what? - Wait, wait, wait.

0:05:58 > 0:06:05In about five, four, three, two...

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- What is it? - The Pyramid of the Rings of Akhaten.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18It's a holy site for the Sun-singers of Akhet.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21- The who of what? - Seven worlds orbiting the same star.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24All of them sharing a belief that life in the universe

0:06:24 > 0:06:27originated here.

0:06:27 > 0:06:28On that planet.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- All life?- In the universe.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Did it?- Well. It's what they believe.

0:06:37 > 0:06:38It's a nice story.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Can we see it? Up close?

0:07:01 > 0:07:03CHATTER OF VARIOUS ALIEN TONGUES

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Where are they from?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Oh, you know, the local system mostly.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22What do I call them?

0:07:22 > 0:07:27Well, let's see. There go some Panbabylonians.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29A Lugal-Irra-Kush.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Some Lucanians.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33A Hooloovoo.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Ah! Qom VoTivig.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40IT GRUNTS

0:07:40 > 0:07:42That chap's a Terraberserker of the Kodion Belt.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47You don't see many of them around any more. Oh! That's an Ultramancer.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50You know, I forget how much I like it here,

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- we should come here more often. - You've been here before?

0:07:53 > 0:07:57Yes, I came here a long time ago with my granddaughter.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Hang on.

0:08:09 > 0:08:15Exotic fruit of some description. Non-toxic. Non-hallucinogenic.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16High in free radicals.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20And low in other stuff, I shouldn't wonder. No?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23So, why's everyone here?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25For the Festival of Offerings.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Takes place every thousand years or so, when the rings align.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31It's quite a big thing, locally. Like Pancake Tuesday.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35Whoa!

0:08:35 > 0:08:37IT BARKS AND SNARLS

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Erm, Doctor?

0:08:39 > 0:08:42HE YAPS

0:08:42 > 0:08:44What's happening? Why's it angry?

0:08:44 > 0:08:45This isn't an it. It's a she.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Dor'een, meet Clara. Clara, meet Dor'een.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49- Doreen?- Loose translation.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52She sounds a bit grumpy but she's a total love, actually, aren't you?

0:08:52 > 0:08:56Yes, you are. She's just asking if we fancy renting a moped.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Rrrruff!

0:09:02 > 0:09:03SHE BARKS

0:09:03 > 0:09:05So, how much does it cost?

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Not money. Something valuable. Sentimental value. A photograph,

0:09:09 > 0:09:11love letter, something like that.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13That's what's used for currency here.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Psychometry. Objects psychically imprinted with their history.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18The more treasured they are, the more value they hold.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- That's horrible. - Better than using bits of paper.

0:09:21 > 0:09:22- Then you pay.- With what?

0:09:22 > 0:09:26You're a thousand years old. You must have something you care about.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Doctor?

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Doctor?

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Are you OK?

0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Have you seen her? - Who?- The Queen of Years.- Who?

0:10:19 > 0:10:20Hello?

0:10:27 > 0:10:29CRASHING THUD

0:10:40 > 0:10:41Hey!

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Are you OK? Are you lost?

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Are you all right?

0:11:20 > 0:11:24- What are you doing? - Hiding.- Oh. Why?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26You don't know me?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Sorry, actually not.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32So, why did you follow me?

0:11:32 > 0:11:33To help. You looked lost.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36I don't believe you.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44I've got no idea who you might be. I've never been here before,

0:11:44 > 0:11:47I've never even been anywhere like here before.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49I just saw a little girl who looked like she needed help.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Really?- Really, really.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Can you help me? - That's why I'm still here.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Because I need to hide.

0:12:01 > 0:12:06- SINISTER VOICE: - Merry, where are you?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10I know the perfect box.

0:12:13 > 0:12:20Merry, where are you?

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Merry.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Merry. Merry.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48SHE WHISTLES

0:12:55 > 0:12:59- What's this? - A space-shippy thing. Timey, spacey.

0:12:59 > 0:13:00It's teeny.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01You wait!

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Oh, come on.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07What's wrong?

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I don't know.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13I don't think it likes me.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Come on. Let me in.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Hey! Hey, little girl!

0:13:20 > 0:13:21My name's Merry.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35So what's happening?

0:13:35 > 0:13:36Is someone trying to hurt you?

0:13:36 > 0:13:37No.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41- I'm just scared.- Of what?

0:13:41 > 0:13:42Getting it wrong.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46OK. Can you pretend like I'm totally a space alien and explain?

0:13:47 > 0:13:48I'm Merry Gejelh.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Really not local. Sorry.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53The Queen of Years?

0:13:53 > 0:13:57They chose me when I was a baby, the day the last Queen of Years died.

0:13:57 > 0:14:02- OK.- I'm the vessel of our history. I know every chronicle. Every poem.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Every legend. Every song.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Every single one?

0:14:07 > 0:14:08Blimey. I hated history.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10And now I have to sing a song in front of everyone.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13A special song. I have to sing it to a God.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17And I'm really scared.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Everyone's scared when they're little.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27I used to be terrified of getting lost.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32Used to have nightmares about it. And then I got lost.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Blackpool beach, bank holiday Monday. About ten billion people.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38I was about six. My worst nightmare come true.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40What happened?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43The world ended. My heart broke.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47And then my mum found me.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51We had fish and chips and she drove me home and she tucked me up

0:14:51 > 0:14:52and she told me a story.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55'It doesn't matter where you are'

0:14:55 > 0:14:59in the jungle or the desert or on the moon.

0:15:00 > 0:15:06However lost you may feel, you'll never really be lost. Not really.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11Because I'll always be here. And I'll always come and find you.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15Every single time.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20'Every single time.'

0:15:23 > 0:15:25And you were never scared again?

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Oh, I was scared lots of times.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31But never of being lost.

0:15:33 > 0:15:38So, this special song. What are you scared of, exactly?

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Getting it wrong. Making Grandfather angry.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44And do you think you'll get it wrong?

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Because I don't. I don't think you'll get it wrong.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51I think you, Merry Gejelh, will get it very, very right.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- What have you been doing? - Exploring.

0:16:29 > 0:16:30Where are we going now?

0:16:33 > 0:16:40# Sleep, my precious, sleep

0:16:40 > 0:16:46# Lay down

0:16:46 > 0:16:52# My warrior

0:16:55 > 0:17:03# Now, my king.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Shh! Shh! Sorry, Sorry, excuse me.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Sorry. Excuse me.- Sorry. Sorry.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36- Are we even supposed to be here? - Shh.- But are we?- Shh! Sorry.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43They're singing to the Mummy in the Temple.

0:18:43 > 0:18:48They call it the Old God. Sometimes Grandfather.

0:18:48 > 0:18:55# Oh, god of Akhaaaten... #

0:18:55 > 0:18:57What are they singing?

0:18:57 > 0:19:04The Long Song. A lullaby without end. To feed the old god.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Keep him asleep.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's been going for millions of years.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Chorister handing over to Chorister.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Generation after generation after generation.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17# Akhaten... #

0:19:20 > 0:19:21What are they doing?

0:19:21 > 0:19:25Those are offerings. Gifts of value.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Mementoes to feed the Old God.

0:19:30 > 0:19:35# Oh, god of... Oh, god of...

0:19:35 > 0:19:42- # Oh god of Akhaaaten... - Sleep, my precious king

0:20:46 > 0:20:49OK. What's happening? Is this supposed to happen?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Help!- Is somebody going to do something?

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Excuse me? Is somebody going to help her?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Why are we walking away?

0:21:00 > 0:21:03We can't just walk away. This is my fault!

0:21:03 > 0:21:06- I talked her into doing this! - Listen.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08There's one thing you need to know about travelling with me -

0:21:08 > 0:21:11well, one thing apart from the blue box and the two hearts.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12We don't walk away.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22HE YAPS

0:21:22 > 0:21:24SHE BARKS AND SNARLS

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I need something precious.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Well, you must have something, all the places you've seen.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33This. I don't want to give it away. It comes in handy.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- You're 1,000 years old. And that's it, your spanner?- Screwdriver.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43It's my Mum's.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21Merry!

0:22:27 > 0:22:30MERRY SCREAMS

0:22:30 > 0:22:31Brakes! Brakes!

0:22:31 > 0:22:34THEY SCREAM

0:22:38 > 0:22:40- OK, time to let go.- I can't.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Clara, you have to.- Why?

0:22:42 > 0:22:43- Because it really hurts.- Sorry.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Oh, that's interesting. A frequency modulated acoustic lock.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52The key changes ten million, zillion, squillion times a second.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Can you open it?- Technically, no. In reality, also no. But still...

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- let's give it a stab. - SHE SQUEALS

0:22:59 > 0:23:02# Don't ever wake from slumber

0:23:02 > 0:23:05# Old god, never wake from slumber... #

0:23:05 > 0:23:07How can they just stand there and watch?

0:23:07 > 0:23:08Because this is sacred ground.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10And she's a child.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13And he's a God. Well, he is to them, anyway.

0:23:13 > 0:23:19# Do not wake from slumber Old god, do not wake from slumber

0:23:19 > 0:23:25# Rest your weary, holy head and cast our lives asunder

0:23:25 > 0:23:27# Do not wake from slumber... #

0:23:27 > 0:23:29I don't know what to do next.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33What happens?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Aaargh!

0:23:35 > 0:23:39Merry! Merry, hold on! We'll be there soon! Doctor?

0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Oh! Hello! - Hello what?

0:23:41 > 0:23:43- The sonic's locked on to the acoustic tumblers.- Meaning?

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Meaning, I get to do this.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Hello there. I'm the Doctor. And you've met Clara.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03She was supposed to be having a nice day out. Still, it's early yet.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Are you coming, then?

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Did I mention that the door is immensely heavy?

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Leave. You'll wake him!

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Really quite extraordinarily heavy.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Clara?- Uh-huh?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19# Never wake from slumber... #

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- Merry, we need to leave. - No. Go away!- Not without you.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26You said I wouldn't get it wrong and then I got it wrong!

0:24:26 > 0:24:28And now this has happened. Look!

0:24:28 > 0:24:29You didn't get it wrong.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32How do you know? You don't know anything! You have to go!

0:24:32 > 0:24:36- Go now! Or he'll eat us all. - Well, he's ugly.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37But, you know, to be honest...

0:24:41 > 0:24:42..I don't think he looks big enough.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Not our meat. Our souls.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00He doesn't want you, he wants me.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02If you don't leave, he'll eat you all up too.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Yes and you don't want that, do you? You want us to walk out

0:25:05 > 0:25:09of this really quite astonishingly heavy door

0:25:09 > 0:25:11and never come back.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Yes.- I see. Right. Clara's right.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Absolutely never going to happen.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Oooh-ooh-ooh.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Did you just lock us in?- Yep.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31- With the soul-eating monster.- Yep.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33And is there actually a way to get out?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35- What? Before it eats our souls? - Ideally, yes.

0:25:35 > 0:25:40Possibly. Probably. There usually seems to be.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41Doctor,

0:25:41 > 0:25:43why is he still singing?

0:25:43 > 0:25:45# ..rest your weary, holy head... #

0:25:45 > 0:25:47He's trying to sing the Old God back to sleep.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's not going to happen. He's waking up, mate.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52He coming, ready or not.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54- You want to run. - # ..holy head and. #

0:25:59 > 0:26:01That's it, then? Song's over?

0:26:01 > 0:26:02The song is over.

0:26:07 > 0:26:14My name is Chorister Rezh Baphix, and the Long Song ended with me.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21That's it, then! Song's over!

0:26:21 > 0:26:23AKHATEN ROARS

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Ha-ha! Look at that.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26You've woken him!

0:26:26 > 0:26:28It's awake? What's it doing?

0:26:28 > 0:26:32Oh, you know, having a nice stretch. No, we didn't wake him.

0:26:32 > 0:26:33And you didn't wake him, either.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36He's waking because it's his time to wake. And feed.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38On you, apparently. On your stories.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40She didn't say stories, She said souls.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Same thing. The soul's made of stories, not atoms.

0:26:43 > 0:26:47Everything that ever happened to us. People we love. People we lost.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49People we found again, against all the odds.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52He threatens to wake, they offer him a pure soul.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54- The Soul of the Queen of Years. - Stop it. You're scaring her.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Good. She should be scared! She's sacrificing herself.

0:26:57 > 0:27:01She should know what that means. Do you know what it means, Merry?

0:27:01 > 0:27:02A God chose me.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04It's not a God!

0:27:04 > 0:27:06It'll feed on your soul, but that doesn't make it a God.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08It is a vampire.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11And you don't need to give yourself to it.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Hey, do you mind if I tell you a story?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15One you might not have heard?

0:27:15 > 0:27:18All the elements in your body were forged many, many millions

0:27:18 > 0:27:23of years ago, in the heart of a far away star that exploded and died.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28That explosion scattered those

0:27:28 > 0:27:31elements across the desolations of deep space.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35After so, so many millions of years,

0:27:35 > 0:27:39these elements came together to form new stars and new planets.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44And on and on it went. The elements came together and burst apart,

0:27:44 > 0:27:48forming shoes and ships and sealing-wax and cabbages and kings.

0:27:49 > 0:27:54Until eventually, they came together to make you.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59You're unique in the universe.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03There is only one Merry Gejelh.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07And there will never be another.

0:28:09 > 0:28:14Getting rid of that existence isn't a sacrifice. It is a waste.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21So, if I don't, then everyone else...

0:28:21 > 0:28:22Will be fine.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27- How?- There's always a way.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29You promise?

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Cross my hearts.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Having a nice stretch?!

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Something's coming. What's coming?

0:28:55 > 0:28:56The Vigil.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58And what's the Vigil?

0:28:58 > 0:29:02- If the Queen of Years is unwilling to be feasted upon...- Yes?

0:29:02 > 0:29:05..it's their job to feed her to Grandfather.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

0:29:14 > 0:29:15Don't you dare.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Yeah, stay back. I'm armed.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19With a screwdriver.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34IT ROARS

0:29:43 > 0:29:48IT ROARS

0:29:50 > 0:29:52Clara. Sonic.

0:30:05 > 0:30:06Aargh!

0:30:06 > 0:30:10You know all the stories. You must know if there's another way out.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13There's the tale. A secret song.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15The Thief of the Temple and the Nimmer's Door.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18And the secret songs open the secret door? How does it go?

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Can you sing it?

0:30:21 > 0:30:28# Ah-ah-ah-ah-aah-ah-ah. #

0:30:32 > 0:30:33Go!

0:30:50 > 0:30:51ROARING

0:30:57 > 0:30:58Doctor!

0:31:19 > 0:31:21IT ROARS

0:31:21 > 0:31:25- BREATHY VOICE:- Where are you? Where are you?

0:31:31 > 0:31:33Where did they go?

0:31:33 > 0:31:37Grandfather's awake. They're of no function any more.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Well, you could sound happier about it.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41DISTANT EXPLOSION

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Actually, I think I may have made a tactical boo-boo.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50- More of a semantics mix-up, really. - What boo-boo?

0:31:50 > 0:31:53I thought the Old God was Grandfather but he wasn't.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56- It was just the Grandfather's alarm clock.- Sorry, a bit lost.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Who's the Old God? Is there an Old God?- Unfortunately, yes.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10Oh, my stars.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13What do we do?

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Against that? I don't know.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17Do you know? I don't know. Any ideas?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19But you promised!

0:32:19 > 0:32:22- You promised! - I did. I did promise.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24He'll eat us all.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27He'll spread across the system, consuming the Seven Worlds.

0:32:27 > 0:32:28And when there's no more to eat,

0:32:28 > 0:32:31he'll embark on a new odyssey among the stars.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38- I say leg it.- Leg it where, exactly?

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Don't know. Lake District?

0:32:40 > 0:32:42Oh, the Lake District's lovely. Let's definitely go there.

0:32:42 > 0:32:46We can eat scones. They do great scones in 19...27.

0:32:48 > 0:32:50You're going to fight it, aren't you?

0:32:50 > 0:32:52Regrettably, yes. I think I may be about to do that.

0:32:52 > 0:32:54- It's really big.- I've seen bigger. - Really?

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Are you joking? It's massive.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58- I'm staying with you.- No, you're not.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00Yes, I am. I can...assist.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- No, you can't. - What about that stuff you said?

0:33:03 > 0:33:04"We don't walk away."

0:33:11 > 0:33:13No. We don't walk away.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16But when we're holding on to something precious,

0:33:16 > 0:33:20we run. We run and run as fast as we can

0:33:20 > 0:33:24and we don't stop running until we're out from under the shadow.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Now, off you pop. Take the moped.

0:33:30 > 0:33:31I'll walk.

0:33:42 > 0:33:43Any ideas?

0:33:45 > 0:33:47No, didn't think so.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50Righty-ho, then.

0:34:07 > 0:34:08Lordy.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11Isn't he frightened?

0:34:11 > 0:34:13I think he is.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15I think he's very frightened.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17- I want to help.- So do I.

0:34:26 > 0:34:31# Rest now

0:34:32 > 0:34:40# My warrior... #

0:34:43 > 0:34:46OK, then. That's what I'll do.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50I'll tell you a story.

0:34:50 > 0:34:55# Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh... #

0:34:59 > 0:35:04# Way-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

0:35:04 > 0:35:08# Wake up

0:35:08 > 0:35:11- CROWD JOIN IN:- # Wake up

0:35:11 > 0:35:16# And let the cloak

0:35:16 > 0:35:23# Of life cling to your bones... #

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Can you hear them?

0:35:25 > 0:35:30All these people who've lived in terror of you and your judgement?

0:35:30 > 0:35:33All these people whose ancestors devoted themselves.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Sacrificed themselves. To you.

0:35:38 > 0:35:39Can you hear them singing?

0:35:39 > 0:35:44# Way-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

0:35:44 > 0:35:47# Wake up... #

0:35:47 > 0:35:50You like to think you're a God.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52But you're not a God.

0:35:52 > 0:35:57You're just a parasite eaten out with jealousy and envy

0:35:57 > 0:36:00and longing for the lives of others.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02You feed on them.

0:36:02 > 0:36:07On the memory of love and loss and birth and death and joy and sorrow.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09So...

0:36:09 > 0:36:11So...

0:36:11 > 0:36:15come on, then. Take mine.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20Take my memories.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23But I hope you've got a big appetite.

0:36:24 > 0:36:30Because I've lived a long life and I've seen a few things.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34# Wake up

0:36:34 > 0:36:38# And let the cloak

0:36:38 > 0:36:43# Of life cling to your bones... #

0:36:43 > 0:36:46I walked away from the Last Great Time War.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49I marked the passing of the Time Lords.

0:36:49 > 0:36:54I saw the birth of the universe and I watched as time ran out,

0:36:54 > 0:36:57moment by moment, until nothing remained.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59No time. No space.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Just me.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05I've walked in universes where the laws of physics were

0:37:05 > 0:37:08devised by the mind of a madman.

0:37:10 > 0:37:15I've watched universes freeze and creations burn.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18I've seen things you wouldn't believe.

0:37:18 > 0:37:22I've lost things you'll never understand.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25And I know things. Secrets that must never be told.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28Knowledge that must never be spoken.

0:37:28 > 0:37:33Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36So come on then!

0:37:36 > 0:37:40Take it! Take it all, baby!

0:37:40 > 0:37:43Have it! You have it all!

0:37:48 > 0:37:52# Wake up

0:37:52 > 0:37:57# Wake u-u-u-up. #

0:38:01 > 0:38:04RUMBLING EXPLOSIONS

0:38:14 > 0:38:17And I will always come and find you.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21Every single time.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26We don't walk away.

0:38:54 > 0:38:55Still hungry?

0:38:59 > 0:39:01Well, I brought something for you.

0:39:04 > 0:39:08This. The most important leaf in human history.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15The most important leaf in human history.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23It's full of stories, full of history.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29And full of a future that never got lived.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33Days that should have been that never were.

0:39:35 > 0:39:36Passed onto me.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47This leaf isn't just the past, it's a whole future that never happened.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50There are billions and millions of unlived days for every day we live.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52An infinity. All the days that never came.

0:39:54 > 0:39:55And these are all my mum's.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57Well, come on then.

0:39:59 > 0:40:00Eat up.

0:40:02 > 0:40:03Are you full?

0:40:04 > 0:40:07I expect so

0:40:07 > 0:40:11because there's quite a difference, isn't there, between what was

0:40:11 > 0:40:13and what should have been?

0:40:15 > 0:40:19There's an awful lot of one, but there's an infinity of the other.

0:40:26 > 0:40:28And infinity's too much.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Even for your appetite.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52METALLIC THRUMMING

0:40:57 > 0:41:01Home again, home again, jiggity jig!

0:41:06 > 0:41:08It looks different.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11Nope. Same house. Same city. Same planet.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14Same day, actually. Not bad.

0:41:16 > 0:41:17Hole in one!

0:41:17 > 0:41:20You were there. At mum's grave.

0:41:20 > 0:41:21You were watching.

0:41:25 > 0:41:26What were you doing there?

0:41:26 > 0:41:28I don't know. I was just...

0:41:28 > 0:41:30- making sure.- Of what?

0:41:37 > 0:41:38You remind me of someone.

0:41:38 > 0:41:39Who?

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Someone who died.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50Well, whoever she was, I'm not her, OK?

0:41:50 > 0:41:53If you want me to travel with you, that's fine.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56But as me. Not a bargain basement stand-in for someone else.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58- I not going to compete with a ghost. - No.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11- They wanted you to have it. - Who did?

0:42:11 > 0:42:14Everyone. All the people you saved.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23You. No-one else.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Clara.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49Aargh!

0:42:49 > 0:42:52- How many are left?- 12.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55This sub's stuffed with nuclear missiles.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57What's he going to do when he finds that out?

0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Bring her up!- Who's there!

0:42:59 > 0:43:01We are all that stands between this creature

0:43:01 > 0:43:04and the destruction of the world.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06He's arming the warheads.

0:43:06 > 0:43:09Clara, get out of there. Get out!

0:43:09 > 0:43:13I will blow this sub up before you can even reach that button.
