FADES TO:
INT: SALLY SPARROW'S FLAT – NIGHT
SALLY SPARROW is seen watching television in her flat.
The lights in the flat begin to flicker.
SALLY looks up at her light.
SALLY SPARROW
Bloody lights.
SALLY gets up from the sofa.
SALLY walks over to the electricity box in the hallway.
Before SALLY opens the cover to the box, all the electricity turns off. The lights fade out dramatically.
It's pitch black. Only the heavy breathing from SALLY can be heard.
SALLY SPARROW
Now what?
SALLY stumbles her way into the kitchen to find a torch.
She gets one out of the cupboard.
SALLY attempts to turn it on.
The torch does not turn on. Even though there are batteries in it.
SALLY sighs.
SALLY SPARROW
You've got to be kidding.
CUTS TO:
INT: BASE UNDER THE RIVER THAMES – NIGHT
THE CYBERMEN are seen in a laboratory.
A ring is inserted to a socket on the desk with blue flashing lights around it.
The CYBERMAN in charge walks towards the ring.
CYBER LEADER
Section 1 of London is complete.
CYBERMAN 1
The electricity is stored in the system. It is ready to be transferred into the ring itself.
CONTINUED:
CYBER LEADER
Not yet. The time will come. First all of London must be drained. Then the entire world. Soon the world will be upgraded into a Cyber Army.
FADES TO:
OPENING TITLES
CUTS TO:
EXT: TRAFALGAR SQUARE - DAY
The TARDIS begins to materialise next to Nelsons Column.
The sun is beaming down on the TARDIS showing it off.
The TARDIS doors open.
THE DOCTOR steps out.
THE DOCTOR looks confused.
THE DOCTOR
Wrong place.
THE DOCTOR walks back into the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR steps out again slowly and intriguingly.
THE DOCTOR
Is this England?
CLARA quickly walks out the TARDIS.
CLARA
Wow. It's a bit sunny.
THE DOCTOR
But it's England. It's supposed to be raining.
CLARA
Not all the time.
THE DOCTOR
Humans…
THE DOCTOR
Earth, England, London, Present Day. It's 2016 Clara.
CLARA
2016?
CONTINUED:
THE DOCTOR
Happy New Year!
CLARA smiles at THE DOCTOR.
SALLY quickly brushes past THE DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR is looking confused.
CLARA is concerned.
CLARA
Doctor? Doctor what is it?
THE DOCTOR looks round and smiles at CLARA.
THE DOCTOR
Nothing.
CUTS TO:
SALLY is quickly walking through the square.
SALLY stops.
SALLY spins around on the spot. Examining the people of the square.
SALLY notices something strange.
SALLY
No one is using their phones. Or cameras. Nothing. Just looking. What's going on?
SALLY grabs out a notebook and pen from her bag.
SALLY writes down "Saturday 02 January 2016: Not a single person is using technology across Trafalgar Square.
SALLY returns the notepad and pen to her bag.
CUTS TO:
THE DOCTOR and CLARA have moved on slightly.
THE DOCTOR freezes.
A sudden flash occurs on screen.
THE DOCTOR is in deep thought in his head.
Just THE DOCTOR is seen in the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR
You notice the slightest of things when you don't intend to.
CONTINUED:
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
Not a phone, camera, laptop, you name it is in sight. It's 2016, where is the technology? They're talking. They're Socialising. Something's wrong.
A sudden flash happens on screen.
THE DOCTOR has exited deep thought.
CLARA looks at THE DOCTOR with a confused smile on her face.
CLARA
Doctor are you okay?
THE DOCTOR
Yes. Why wouldn't I be?
CLARA
You zoned out.
THE DOCTOR
I do that. Come on.
CLARA
Where are we going?
THE DOCTOR
Following her.
CLARA
Who?
THE DOCTOR
Big coat, fluffy. You can't miss her.
CLARA
Why?
THE DOCTOR
No questions.
THE DOCTOR and CLARA head off to follow SALLY.
CUTS TO:
SALLY is sat on a bench gazing across the Square.
THE DOCTOR and CLARA quickly walk on by.
SALLY sits and watches them.
SALLY
Them. They're up to something.
SALLY grabs out her notepad and pen again.
CONTINUED:
SALLY writes down "Strange man in purpleish velvet jacket acting strange with young looking lady.
SALLY puts the notepad and pen away again.
THE DOCTOR and CLARA sit on a bench opposite SALLY.
CUTS TO:
THE DOCTOR looks at CLARA.
THE DOCTOR
It's her. I've seen her before.
CLARA
What? Where?
A flashback occurs on screen.
VOICE OF THE DOCTOR
Her name is Sally Sparrow. I was stuck in 1969 with Martha. Martha Jones. Lovely lady. We were sent back in time by the Weeping Angels. Sally and her friend saved us by brining the TARDIS to us. I never thought I'd see her again.
The screen is now back at present day.
THE DOCTOR
She doesn't recognize me. Not with this face. She met me when I was a dashing young man.
CLARA
Well go talk to her.
THE DOCTOR
Not yet, Clara. Look around you. What are the people doing?
CLARA
They're talking. Just like us.
THE DOCTOR
What aren't they doing?
SALLY gets up and starts to walk towards THE DOCTOR and CLARA.
CLARA
I don't know.
SALLY sits next to THE DOCTOR.
SALLY
May I interrupt? I overheard you talking and can't help myself by saying, I have realised the exact same as you.
CONTINUED:
THE DOCTOR
What's that then?
SALLY
Look. Not a phone or camera is in sight. Which is unusual.
THE DOCTOR
Exactly! What was your name sorry?
SALLY
Sally Sparrow. You?
CLARA
I'm Clara Oswald and this is th-
THE DOCTOR
Smith. John Smith.
SALLY
Good to meet you Mr. Smith. Tell me, do you like a good mystery?
THE DOCTOR
Is it like Scooby Doo?
SALLY
I'm not going back to that house. That was Scooby Doo.
CLARA looks at THE DOCTOR with confusion.
THE DOCTOR winks at CLARA.
THE DOCTOR
Please continue.
SALLY
It happened last night.
The scene flashes back to previous events with SALLY narrating.
SALLY (Continued)
I was watching TV and the light started flickering. I went to go to the electricity box. Before I even opened it, all the electricity just suddenly turned off. I tried using a torch. Nothing.
The scene now flashes forward to present day.
THE DOCTOR
Was there batteries in the torch?
CONTINUED:
SALLY
Obviously.
THE DOCTOR
Show me.
CUTS TO:
INT. BASE UNDER THE RIVER THAMES – DAY
THE CYBERMEN prepare to upgrade the first part of London.
CYBER LEADER
Prepare to upgrade.
THE CYBERMEN gather round the console where the ring is. They begin to form a circle around it and connect hands.
A really bright blue light begins to appear on the chest of all THE CYBERMEN. The beam then whizzes into the ring.
The beams now suddenly disappear.
CYBER LEADER
Process complete. Now we wait.
CUTS TO:
EXT. TRAFALGAR SQUARE – DAY
A sudden blue flash happens around every person in Trafalgar Square. They have all been put in a trance.
Everyone begins to head towards the River Thames.
The square suddenly becomes empty as it has been evacuated. The only thing left in the square that isn't usually there, is the TARDIS.
CUTS TO:
EXT. BY THE RIVER THAMES – DAY
Everyone begins to line up by a wall by the Thames. Everyone begins to connect hands.
Everyone then disappears. They have been teleported away.
INT. BASE UNDER THE RIVER THAMES – DAY
CYBER LEADER
You have all been chosen as part of the upgrade system. You are all required as part of the process of the Cyber God.
CONTINUED:
CYBERMEN (Together)
Rise of the Cyber God! Rise of the Cyber God!
CYBER LEADER
The Cyber God will rise!
CYBERMAN 1 starts to lead the people for upgrading into the upgrading room. Everyone slowly walks out the room.
CYBERMAN 2 walks over to the CYBER LEADER.
CYBERMAN 2
One section of London is not enough to complete the process. More electricity is required in order to upgrade the rest of London.
CYBER LEADER
Tonight all the electricity across London will be drained. That will be enough to upgrade the control settings and drain out the entire world. The Cyber God will rise tomorrow night.
CYBERMAN 2
What about the Doctor?
CYBER LEADER
The Doctor? Doctor Who?
CYBERMAN 2
I've hacked into the cameras in Trafalgar Square. A suspicious man was sighted. A photograph was taken on the camera an analysed. It has been recognized as a man with 2 hearts. A Time Lord. The Doctor has returned.
CYBER LEADER
Find out where he is! Find him and delete him.
CYBERMAN 2 leaves the room.
The CYBER LEADER turns to the controls.
CYBER LEADER (Continued)
The process is ready to take place. London will blackout tonight.
CUTS TO:
INT. SALLY SPARROW'S FLAT – DAY
THE DOCTOR is sat on SALLY'S flat with his feet up on the table and his arms crossed. CLARA and SALLY are stood in front of him.
CONTINUED:
THE DOCTOR
You were sat here and the lights were flickering, yes? Weeping Angel? No they would've done more damage. Flickering lig-
SALLY intriguingly interrupts THE DOCTOR.
SALLY SPARROW
Sorry what did you say? Weeping Angels? How do you know about them?
THE DOCTOR
Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey thing.
SALLY SPARROW
He said that.
THE DOCTOR
Who's he?
SALLY SPARROW
The Doctor.
THE DOCTOR gets up.
THE DOCTOR
Never heard of him. Anyway more to the point. Flickering lights and your electric blows out, yes?
THE DOCTOR quickly walks to the electric box in the hallway.
SALLY turns to CLARA.
SALLY SPARROW
It's him isn't it. Oh my God it is.
CLARA nods at SALLY and smiles.
SALLY SPARROW
But. He has a different face.
CLARA
Hell of a long story.
THE DOCTOR mumbles to himself.
THE DOCTOR
Regenerated.
CLARA
Sorry Doctor?
THE DOCTOR
I said, Sally do you have any biscuits?
CONTINUED:
SALLY SPARROW
Yes.
THE DOCTOR
I need one.
SALLY walks towards the cupboard in the kitchen.
SALLY gets a biscuit out from the packet.
SALLY walks back over to THE DOCTOR and hands the biscuit to him.
CLARA
Do I question why?
THE DOCTOR is standing up straight holding the biscuit in one hand.
THE DOCTOR
This biscuit resembles your electricity box. One moment it's active. The next minute, it isn't. The electricity in this house has been turned to dust. It's flying in the air
THE DOCTOR crumbles up the biscuit in his hand and drops the crumbs on the floor.
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
Or in this case, crumbs. Someone has messed with the electricity. But why?
THE DOCTOR starts pacing round the room.
CLARA
Can't you trace it Doctor? Find out where it's gone?
SALLY SPARROW
That's too obvious.
THE DOCTOR
Being obvious is the way to go sometimes.
SALLY SPARROW
Then do it.
THE DOCTOR
We need to go somewhere with electricity. Sally, have you got somewhere we can go?
SALLY SPARROW
You remember Larry? We could go to his?
THE DOCTOR
Where's that?
SALLY SPARROW
About an hour and a half away.
THE DOCTOR
It'll be quicker to take the TARDIS. But we have to wait until this evening.
CUTS TO:
EXT. TRAFALGAR SQUARE – DAY
THE DOCTOR, CLARA AND SALLY walk towards Trafalgar Square.
The three of them stop.
CLARA
Doctor look. Everyone has gone. The square is empty.
SALLY SPARROW
They couldn't have just gone home. Could they?
THE DOCTOR
Of course not. It's a sunny day. They'd make the most of it.
SALLY runs forwards. She spins around to get a glance of the square.
SALLY is shocked.
SALLY begins to shout.
SALLY SPARROW
Doctor!
THE DOCTOR and CLARA quickly walk towards SALLY.
SALLY is no longer shouting.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
Look around you.
THE DOCTOR
I see Trafalgar Square. Lovely place. Could have a bit more to it.
SALLY SPARROW
No Doctor. Look harder.
CLARA
Bags.
THE DOCTOR
Bags?
CONTINUED:
SALLY SPARROW
Exactly. The people have gone, but their bags and belongings haven't.
THE DOCTOR
Someone has taken them. Sally, Get to Larry's place. Stay there.
THE DOCTOR gets out his Sonic Screwdriver and hands it to CLARA.
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
Take this. You'll need it. Any sign of anything unusual, use the Sonic Screwdriver and it will collect information and store it. Have candles or something ready if the light go out. Stick together, don't leave each other. This can be dangerous. 2 brains is better than 1. Good luck.
CLARA
But what about you?
THE DOCTOR
I have something to do. I'll come find you when I'm finished.
SALLY SPARROW
How will you know where we are?
THE DOCTOR
The Sonic Screwdriver has a tracking device in it. I can see where you are at any point in time. Now go.
CLARA
Good luck Doctor. Come on Sally.
THE DOCTOR smiles at CLARA.
CLARA smiles back.
CLARA and SALLY both turn away and run together.
THE DOCTOR heads towards the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR enters the TARDIS.
INT. INSIDE THE TARDIS – DAY
THE DOCTOR enters some coordinates into the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR
Time to see some old friends.
INT. A ROOM AT THE SHADOW PROCLAMATION - SPACE
The SHADOW ARCHITECT is looking out the window in a medium sized room.
The room is empty.
A member of the JUDOON comes marching into the room.
JUDOON 1
The TARDIS has been tracked and is heading straight for here.
Still looking out the window.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
So he returns again.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM AT THE SHADOW PROCLAMATION – SPACE
The TARDIS materializes in the room.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT walks into the room with the JUDOON member next to her.
THE DOCTOR steps out of the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR
Ah just the person I want to see.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
Or hello as most people say.
THE DOCTOR
Sorry. Yes. Hello I'm the Doctor.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
What do you want Doctor?
THE DOCTOR
Your help…
THE SHADOW ARCHITECT pauses for a moment.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
You want my help?
THE DOCTOR
That is what I asked wasn't it? The people of London on Earth are slowly disappearing.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
I'm sorry Doctor. That's nothing to do with us. We can't help you there.
THE DOCTOR is now looking furious.
THE DOCTOR now furiously walks towards the SHADOW ARCHITECT.
THE DOCTOR
I didn't come here to get no as an answer! You will help me. Or you will never see daylight again.
CONTINUED:
JUDOON 1 raises his gun at THE DOCTOR.
JUDOON 1
That is a threat. Anyone that makes a threat will be executed.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
Do not kill him!
JUDOON 1 lowers his gun.
SHADOW ARCHITECT (Continued)
The last of the Time Lords needs to live. He's important.
THE DOCTOR
If you're not going to help, then never expect help from me again. Ever.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT stares at the Doctor in the eye.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
Alright.
THE DOCTOR
Thank you.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
Come with me.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT leaves the room with JUDOON 1.
THE DOCTOR follows promptly.
INT. OBSERVATION ROOM – SHADOW PROCLAMATION – SPACE
The SHADOW ARCHITECT enters the observation room and JUDOON 1 and THE DOCTOR follows afterwards.
The room has a computer linked up to a big screen on the wall. There is a staircase that leads to a balcony that overlooks the room. The room has no windows and has a big open space in the middle.
THE DOCTOR
Ah this is lovely isn't it?
SHADOW ARCHITECT
This is the observation room. Rarely used. Only in emergencies.
THE DOCTOR
Like what?
CONTINUED:
SHADOW ARCHITECT
That's confidential.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT walks over to the computer.
THE DOCTOR starts spinning round to observe the room.
THE DOCTOR then walks up the stairs to the balcony.
THE DOCTOR leans on the bars to talk to the SHADOW ARCHITECT.
THE DOCTOR
It's a bit plain in here, isn't it? Hang some painting up. Make it more home like.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
That's irrelevant. What's relevant is that we've been watching over Earth and noticed that people in London have been disappearing. Which is what you said.
THE DOCTOR
Where have they gone and why?
SHADOW ARCHITECT
The River Thames. CCTV saw the people of Trafalgar Square heading for the River Thames. They all just suddenly dropped their belongings and started to head towards the Thames.
THE DOCTOR
Stop. Rewind it.
THE DOCTOR quickly walks down the stairs and looks at the screen head on.
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
Can you put it in slow motion?
SHADOW ARCHITECT
No. The system isn't compatible with it.
THE DOCTOR gets his Sonic Sunglasses out and uses them on the computer to activate the slow motion system.
The computer sparks and the SHADOW ARCHITECT quickly backs away from the computer.
THE DOCTOR
There you go.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
What have you done?
CONTINUED:
THE DOCTOR
Slow motion can be done now. Easy. Now replay the footage in slow motion.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT flicks a few buttons and plays the footage in slow motion.
THE DOCTOR
Pause it! Quickly!
The SHADOW ARCHITECT quickly pauses the video.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
What is it Doctor?
THE DOCTOR
Look. The people all have some kind of blue glow around them.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
Is that significant?
THE DOCTOR
Of course it is. Don't talk mumbo jumbo. Can you trace the glow and analyse it on the computer?
SHADOW ARCHITECT
I can try.
FADES TO:
HALF AN HOUR LATER
THE DOCTOR is seen sat on the floor with a yoyo and a spinning top. He is still wearing his Sonic Sunglasses.
THE DOCTOR
Are you done yet? I'm getting rather bored sat here.
SHADOW ARCHTIECT.
It's a teleport. The blue glow is a teleport.
THE DOCTOR jumps onto his feet.
THE DOCTOR
Where does it go?
SHADOW ARCHITECT
Underneath the River Thames
THE DOCTOR
Why? Is there anything else?
CONTINUED:
SHADOW ARCHTIECT
The teleport has traces of technology from the planet Mondas.
THE DOCTOR
Mondas? Mondas! The Cybermen! Can you get into their systems?
SHADOW ARCHITECT
I can try. No promises.
THE DOCTOR
They're bound to have cameras. They always do.
The SHADOW ARHITECT loads up a hacking system. She writes in the coordinates of where the Cybermen are based.
Loads of different camera screens come up.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
There's so many. What are we looking for?
THE DOCTOR
Big metal men!
The SHADOW ARCHITECT points to the centre of the screen.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
There!
THE DOCTOR
Enlarge it.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT clicks the centre camera screen.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
That's the best possible quality.
THE DOCTOR
Quality doesn't matter. Is there sound?
SHADOW ARCHITECT
Yes I believe so.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT clicks the sound button on the computer.
VOICE OF THE CYBER LEADER
Tonight all the male humans will be transported here ready for upgrading. We will then have enough power to generate into the ring.
VOICE OF CYBERMAN 1
The Cyber God will rise tonight.
VOICE OF THE CYBER LEADER
The Cyber God will rise!
CONTINUED:
THE DOCTOR
I need to get back to Clara.
THE DOCTOR quickly runs out the room.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT is shocked and quickly runs after him.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM AT THE SHADOW PROCLAMATION – SPACE
THE DOCTOR is heading for the TARDIS.
The SHADOW ARCHITECT is shouting.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
DOCTOR!
THE DOCTOR freezes and turns around.
THE DOCTOR
What?
SHADOW ACRHITECT
You're just going to leave like that? You come barging in here without warning and you just suddenly leave?
THE DOCTOR takes off his Sonic Sunglasses and puts them back in his jacket.
THE DOCTOR
You're right. Thank you!
THE DOCTOR step inside the TARDIS.
The TARDIS begins to dematerialize.
The TARDIS causes a big gust of wind across the room causing paperwork to fly across the room.
SHADOW ARCHITECT
We will get our revenge, Doctor!
INT. INSIDE THE TARDIS – NIGHT
THE DOCTOR races round to the monitor.
THE DOCTOR lifts up a floorboard of the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR has a bit of a rummage.
THE DOCTOR lifts out a Cyberman's head.
THE DOCTOR is excited.
THE DOCTOR
Handles the Second!
HANDLES is placed on the TARDIS console on the other side.
HANDLES
Systems starting.
THE DOCTOR
Handles, get a lock onto Clara. Take me to her.
HANDLES
Certainly Doctor.
The TARDIS begins to encounter a bit of turbulence as it locks onto CLARA.
THE DOCTOR looks up at HANDLES.
THE DOCTOR
Careful Handles. I don't want any damage done.
HANDLES
Don't worry Doctor. No damage will be done.
THE DOCTOR is quickly monitoring the activity of London to see if any unusual events have happened.
HANDLES (Continued)
Clara has been located. Locking on.
THE DOCTOR
Then let's go!
INT. LARRY NIGHTINGALE'S FLAT - KITCHEN – NIGHT
LARRY, SALLY and CLARA are all sat round the kitchen table.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
So let me get this straight. You're coming here because you have no electricity at home because it's turned to dust?
SALLY SPARROW
How many more times, yes!
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
How?
CLARA
Basically, someone or something has drained the electricity of parts of London and we don't know why.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Then how long until it reaches here?
SALLY SPARROW
I don't know, Larry. Otherwise we'd be ready for it.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
I'm not sure if I believe you or not. Who said this?
SALLY SPARROW
The Doctor.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
The Doctor? Doctor Wh-. No way? He's back?
SALLY SPARROW nods.
SALLY SPARROW
Clara is his companion. He doesn't travel with Martha anymore.
The light in the kitchen begins to flicker.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
Clara, quick! The Sonic Screwdriver.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
The Sonic what?
CONTINUED:
CLARA quickly gets out the Sonic Screwdriver.
She points it at the light and presses the button.
CLARA
I think it's working.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE is sat at the table looking confused.
A yellow light appears from the Sonic Screwdriver and flies out the window.
SALLY SPARROW
What was that?
CLARA
I… don't' know.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Can someone please tell me what is going on?
SALLY SPARROW
Not now.
CUTS TO:
INT. BASE UNDER THE RIVER THAMES – NIGHT
The CYBER LEADER is seen round the console where the ring is located.

CYBERMAN ONE
We have been tracked!
CYBER LEADER
Find the location!
CYBERMAN ONE
Yes sir.
CYBERMAN ONE stomps over to the computer.
CYBERMAN ONE begins to use the computer.
CYBERMAN ONE
A little flat in London. Sonic technology.
CYBER LEADER
Gather up an army. Delete the people of the flat. The Cyber God must rise tonight.

CUTS TO:
The TARDIS crashes onto the street by LARRY NIGHTINGALE'S flat.
CUTS TO:
THE DOCTOR sighs.
THE DOCTOR
Well that was a bit rough. Don't ever do that again.
HANDLES
My apologies Doctor.
THE DOCTOR
I wasn't talking to you Handles.
HANDLES
My apologies Doctor.
THE DOCTOR
Will you stop saying that.
HANDLES
My apologies Doctor.
THE DOCTOR
I'll throw you in a River in a minute.
HANDLES
Will it sing me a song?
THE DOCTOR
Yes because River can si- Oh. I see! Enough of this. We need to help Clara. You're coming with me.
HANDLES
Certainly.
THE DOCTOR pulls HANDLES off the TARDIS console.
THE DOCTOR walks out of the TARDIS.
CUTS TO:
EXT. OUTSIDE A BLOCK OF FLATS WHERE LARRY LIVES – NIGHT
THE DOCTOR looks a bit confused.
THE DOCTOR
It was daytime when we left. Wasn't it?
HANDLES
Confirmed. It was daytime when we left.
THE DOCTOR
How long were we gone?
HANDLES
About 5 hours.
THE DOCTOR
Oh. Ummm. Whoops. Never mind. Let's find Clara.
HANDLES
Cybermen detected heading for this area.
THE DOCTOR
How do you know?
HANDLES
I am Cyber technology.
THE DOCTOR
Obviously. We need to get Clara out of there.
THE DOCTOR runs towards the building.

INT. INSIDE THE BUILDING OF FLATS - NIGHT
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
I don't even know what floor she is on.
HANDLES
I can communicate with her using your Sonic Screwdriver.
THE DOCTOR
Do it.
HANDLES
Calling Clara Oswald. Calling Clara Oswald. Calling Clara Osw-

THE DOCTOR
What floor?
VOICE OF CLARA
Eight.
THE DOCTOR
Right. What number flat.
VOICE OF CLARA
Hang on.
THE DOCTOR
Anytime today. I mean it's not like we're being followed or anything.
VOICE OF CLARA
Flat number 29.
THE DOCTOR
Thank you.
HANDLES
Call ended.
THE DOCTOR presses the button for the lift.
The lift takes a while to reach the ground floor.
THE DOCTOR
Oh forget it.
THE DOCTOR starts to run up the stairs.
The lift goes ding and the doors open.
THE DOCTOR is seen quickly running down the stairs.
THE DOCTOR enters the lift.
INT. INSIDE THE LIFT - NIGHT
THE DOCTOR
Typical.
The lift doors close.

Eighth floor.
THE DOCTOR
Finally. Well come on then. Open!
The lift doors open.
INT. EIGHTH FLOOR OF THE BUILDING – NIGHT
THE DOCTOR and HANDLES start looking for flat number 29.
THE DOCTOR finds it and knocks the door.
SALLY answers the door.
SALLY SPARROW
Doctor. You're back.
THE DOCTOR
Yes. We need to leave. Now!
SALLY SPARROW
Why?
THE DOCTOR
I'll explain later.
THE DOCTOR starts to shout.
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
Clara, Larry, we need to leave!
CLARA and LARRY come rushing to the door.
CLARA
What's up?
THE DOCTOR
Ah good, you're all here. Let's go.
CLARA, LARRY and SALLY are all looking confused.
LARRY shuts the door behind him as he is last to leave.
THE DOCTOR looks out the window.
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
Ah. Too late.
LARRY whispers to CLARA.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What's the Doctor holding?
CLARA whispers back.
CLARA
A Cyberman head.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
A what?
CLARA
Doesn't matter.
THE DOCTOR
Cybermen are heading for the entrance. We need to get out of here.
SALLY SPARROW
How?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
The lift?
SALLY SPARROW
Don't be stupid.
CLARA
The fire escape.
LARRY NIGHTINAGLE
There's one the other side of the building. You just walk out the door and go down the stairs. You end up behind the building.
THE DOCTOR
Let's do that. Larry lead us there.
HANDLES
Cybermen are located in the building.
CLARA
We need to move fast.
THE DOCTOR
Then let's go.
LARRY starts to run for the fire escape.
THE DOCTOR, CLARA and SALLY follow quickly.
They are all running down the corridor. Turning a few corners on the way.
The fire escape is now in sight.
They all reach the fire escape.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
It's locked.
THE DOCTOR puts his Sonic Sunglasses on.
He uses them on the door.
THE DOCTOR
Go. Go. Go.
LARRY opens the door. CLARA and SALLY follow him. THE DOCTOR is last to exit.
EXT. THE FIRE ESCAPE STAIRS – NIGHT
THE DOCTOR closes the door.
THE DOCTOR sonics the door to lock it.
SALLY, LARRY and CLARA are at the bottom of the stairs.
SALLY shouts up the stairs.
SALLY SPARROW
Come on Doctor!
THE DOCTOR
Alright! I'm coming!
THE DOCTOR puts his Sonic Sunglasses away.
THE DOCTOR runs down the stairs.
Everyone is at the bottom of the stairs now.
CLARA
What now?
THE DOCTOR
We need to find out what they're up to. Sally, you and Larry go to the TARDIS. It's located about 100 metres away. Clara. You're coming with me.
CLARA
Where?
THE DOCTOR
To see where the Cybermen are going and what they are doing. Sally, Larry, once you get to the TARDIS, make yourself at home. It's changed since you were last in it. But you'll find your way round. Actually take Handles with you.
THE DOCTOR hands HANDLES to SALLY.
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
If anything happens, ask him to contact me. I'll receive a signal on my Sonic Screwdriver. Eventually Handles will bring the TARDIS to me. Don't worry. It's all good.
SALLY SPARROW
Of course Doctor. Come on Larry. Good luck you two.
CLARA
You too.
SALLY and LARRY turn around and start to walk away.
THE DOCTOR
Oh. Sally.
SALLY and LARRY turn around.
SALLY SPARROW
Yes Doctor?
THE DOCTOR
Lock the door behind you.
SALLY SPARROW
I will.
SALLY and LARRY turn around and carry on walking towards the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR looks at CLARA.
THE DOCTOR
We need to find a Cyberman.
CLARA
What for?
THE DOCTOR
We can't get into their base if we don't know where it is, can we?
CLARA
Oh yeah.
THE DOCTOR
They're all in the building. Come on, we're going back in.
THE DOCTOR and CLARA both start to walk round to the front of the building to find the front door.
CUTS TO:
SALLY and LARRY are both walking towards the TARDIS which is now in sight.
What they didn't see was a Cyberman hiding behind a wall.
They both continue to walk towards the TARDIS.
SALLY approaches the TARDIS and LARRY follows promptly.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Here we are then. The TARDIS. We meet again.
SALLY SPARROW
You ready?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Oh yeah!
SALLY opens the TARDIS door and walks in.
SALLY SPARROW
Wow!
LARRY quickly walks in the TARDIS.
CUTS TO:
INT. INSIDE THE TARDIS – NIGHT
SALLY and LARRY are both looking shocked.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Awesome design!
HANDLES
Please place me on the flashing light on the console so I can recharge.
SALLY SPARROW
Sorry Handles.
SALLY looks round the TARDIS console looking for a flashing light.
SALLY finds the spot and places HANDLES on it.
HANDLES
Systems recharging. Charging time required. 1 hour 38 minutes and 32 seconds.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
That's him sorted. What about us?
SALLY SPARROW
I guess we look round. Come on, it's bigger on the inside, who knows what we find.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Hopefully a kitchen. I'm starving.
LARRY and SALLY walk up the TARDIS stairs that lead to the balcony. They walk through a door and go out of site.
LARRY never locked the door behind him.
The TARDIS door slowly opens.
A silhouette of a CYBERMAN appears in the window.
The CYBERMAN enters the TARDIS and stands in the doorway.
CUTS TO:
INT. INSIDE THE BUILDING OF FLATS – NIGHT
THE DOCTOR and CLARA are both stood by the lifts.
CLARA
Do you think they took the lift up?
THE DOCTOR
Who says they went up?
CLARA
I did.
THE DOCTOR
Fair enough.
THE DOCTOR presses the button to call the lift.
The lift dings and the doors open and reveals 2 Cybermen stood in there.
THE DOCTOR looks round to CLARA.
THE DOCTOR
Told you.
THE DOCTOR looks up at the CYBERMEN.
THE DOCTOR is grinning at them.
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
Hello. My name is Fred Jones. My friend here is called Daphne Blake. We're solving a mystery.
CYBERMAN ONE
You are the Doctor and this is your companion.
THE DOCTOR
Well that didn't work as I hoped it would. You are correct. I am the Doctor. How may I be an assistance?
The two CYBERMEN step out of the lift.
CYBERMAN TWO
The DOCTOR and CLARA
THE DOCTOR
Oh will we? What if we said no?
CYBERMAN ONE
Then you will both be deleted.
THE DOCTOR
Well we don't want that. Looks like we're going with them Clara.
CLARA
You don't say!
THE DOCTOR
Well come on then. I don't have all day.
THE DOCTOR and CLARA exit the building and the two CYBERMEN follow them.
CUTS TO:
INT. INSIDE THE TARDIS CORRIDORS – NIGHT
SALLY and LARRY are seen walking down a corridor of the TARDIS.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Okay. We new it was bigger on the inside, but this is something completely new.
SALLY SPARROW
Imagine living in here.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
I can't.
A loud crash is heard in the distance.
SALLY SPARROW
What was that?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
I don't know. Might just be the TARDIS.
SALLY SPARROW
It wasn't that. It sounded like something fell or got smashed. Did you lock the door behind you?
LARRY has a worried look on his face.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
Oh my god you didn't did you?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
I'm really sorry Sally.
SALLY SPARROW
You idiot. Who knows what is out there. We have to go and find out.
LARRY NIGHTINALE
Seriously?
SALLY SPARROW
Yes seriously. Come on.
LARRY and SALLY both turn around and head back for the TARDIS console.
LARRY and SALLY have returned to the TARDIS console. They are stood up on the balcony hiding by the side of a bookcase hoping they don't get seen.
LARRY and SALLY are whispering to each other.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
It's a Cyberman.
SALLY SPARROW
You see. That's what happens when you don't lock the door. A Cyberman comes barging in and starts destroying the TARDIS console.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What do we do?
SALLY SPARROW
We need to get Handles. He can help us surely.
LARRY NIGTINGALE
How do you plan to get Handles. The Cyberman is guarding the TARDIS. We can't go down there.
SALLY reaches for her bag and opens it.
SALLY pulls a wind up toy out of her bag.
SALLY SPARROW
Rule One about being an investigator. Always carry bait on you.
SALLY slowly walks down the steps towards the TARDIS console.
The CYBERMAN is facing towards the TARDIS doors to make sure no one enters.
SALLY quietly winds up the toy.
SALLY places it on the floor.
The wind up toy heads for the Cyberman and goes down a little ramp in the TARDIS.
The CYBERMAN looks at the wind up toy and starts to follow it.
SALLY quickly runs towards Handles.
The CYBERMAN turns around.
TARDIS CYBERMAN
Humans detected. They will be deleted.
The CYBERMAN shoots towards SALLY.
SALLY ducks as she reaches for HANDLES.
SALLY grabs HANDLES and runs round the console and back up the stairs.
TARDIS CYBERMAN
Delete! Delete! Delete!
SALLY rushes towards LARRY.
The CYBERMAN shoots another laser.
SALLY and LARRY duck to avoid the laser.
The laser hits the TARDIS wall.
SALLY SPARROW
Quick Larry! Go!
SALLY and LARRY start to run down the corridor they were down before.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Smooth move, Sally! Smooth move!
The CYBERMAN quickly follows SALLY and LARRY.
SALLY and LARRY are still running down a corridor.
HANDLES
In 10 metres, turn left.
SALLY SPARROW
What?
HANDLES
Turn left.
SALLY and LARRY quickly turn left.
CUTS TO:
INT. THE SMALL VILLAGE OF GALLIFREY - NIGHT
A double door suddenly slam shut behind them.
The CYBERMAN stands in the window and stares in.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Where are we?
SALLY and LARRY start to spin round to get a glance of where they are.
HANDLES
Welcome to The Small Village Of Gallifrey. You are perfectly safe here. My systems are not fully charged so I won't be around much longer to help you. The Cyberman will not get in here. All enemies of the Doctor automatically get blocked from entering in here.
SALLY SPARROW
How long is the village?
HANDLES
Approximately 30 meters long.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
It even has a sky
HANDLES
I'm afraid it doesn't. It's just a screen that creates different weather.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
A pretend sky then. Good enough for me.
SALLY SPARROW
What do we do now then? We're stuck in here, and can't go out those doors as there's a killer Cyberman out there.
HANDLES
Located at the top of the village is… a… building… a teleport is… located… in there…
SALLY SPARROW
Where abouts in the building?
HANDLES
In the b… Systems shutting down.
SALLY SPARROW
No no no no no. Handles!
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
We need to get moving. The Doctor needs the TARDIS. We need to find the portal back to the TARDIS console.
SALLY puts HANDLES in her bag.
SALLY SPARROW
Let's get going then.
LARRY looks incredibly confused.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
How… How did you get that in there?
SALLY SPARROW
Doesn't matter. Come one.
LARRY quickly follows SALLY.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
The Small VILLAGE Of Gallifrey. Where on Earth is Gallifrey?
SALLY SPARROW
By the looks of this place, I don't think it is on Earth. Has Look. The buildings are all wooden, and tall. It's like someone has left and never came back.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Should we look in one of them. It could leave us a clue.
SALLY and LARRY walk towards a large and wide building.
SALLY SPARROW
This one looks like a Town Hall. Let's look in here.
LARRY and SALLY enter the building.
CUTS TO:
INT. THE SMALL VILLAGE OF GALLIFREY TOWN HALL – NIGHT
The town hall is fairly dark and abandoned. A big table is sat in the middle of the room. Chairs are chucked around the table as if the building was quickly evacuated.
A pinboard is sat at the front of the table as if a meeting had happened.
SALLY and LARRY are both looking scared.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What happened here?
SALLY SPARROW
It looks as though an air raid siren sounded. Whatever happened here must've happened years ago. This place is a mess and falling apart.
LARRY walks to the pinboard.
SALLY starts to look at the papers on the table.
SALLY SPARROW
We were right. A meeting has happened here. They left their minutes behind.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What do they say?
SALLY SPARROW
I don't know. It's too dark. Have you got your phone on you?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Yeah I do.
LARRY gets out his phone and chucks it to SALLY.
SALLY catches the phone.
SALLY turns on the flashlight.
SALLY SPARROWN
It is titled "protecting Gallifrey".
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Is that all it says?
SALLY SPARROW
It's all in squiggly writing. It's hard to read. A lot of it is symbols. Gallifrey. The home planet of the Time Lords must be saved from the Daleks.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Daleks? This is one crazy day.
SALLY SPARROW
By the looks of it, the Doctor's home planet is set to be destroyed in a great war.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Sally.
SALLY SPARROW
What?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Come here.
SALLY walks over to LARRY standing by the pinboard.
SALLY SPARROW
What is it?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
It says here a teleport is to be built in a barn at the top of the village.
SALLY SPARROW
Does it say where abouts?
LARRY NIGHTINAGLE
No. Just says in a barn.
SALLY SPARROW
We still don't actually know what we're looking for.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
A teleport.
SALLY SPARROW
Obviously. But it must be in the form of something. Does it say how they are going to create it?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Wait. I says underneath. "Every door has a lock".
SALLY SPARROW
So we're looking for a lock?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
I guess so. Or a door?
SALLY SPARROW
Look. It has 3 dots after it.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Meaning?
SALLY SPARROW
Meaning the riddle is to be continued.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Well I don't know.
SALLY starts to pace round the room.
SALLY SPARROW
Every door has a lock. Every door… has a lock! Every door has a lock!
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Please stop saying that.
SALLY SPARROW
You don't understand! Every door has a lock! A lock! What turns the lock?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
A key.
SALLY SPARROW
Exactly! We're looking for a key. Assuming it's in the barn. Come on!
SALLY runs out of the town hall and LARRY stumbles after her.
CUTS TO:
INT. THE SMALL VILLAGE OF GALLIFREY – NIGHT
SALLY is running up the hill towards the barn.
LARRY is struggling to keep up with her.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Sally how can you be sure?
SALLY SPARROW
I just am. Trust me.
SALLY reaches the top of the hill and is in front of the barn.
LARRY gradually catches up with her and is out of breath.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
I am never running again.
SALLY SPARROW
Here we are.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Do we go in?
SALLY SPARROW
Of course we do.
SALLY goes to open the barn door.
It's locked.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Maybe we're not going in.
SALLY starts to look around for a key.
SALLY SPARROW
There's bound to be a key somewhere.
SALLY lifts up a plant pot.
LARRY looks impressed.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
Told you.
SALLY smiles at LARRY as she goes to unlock the barn.
CUTS TO:
INT. THE SMALL VILLAGE OF GALLIFREY – INSIDE THE BARN – NIGHT
SALLY enters the barn and LARRY follows.
A slight beeping sound can be heard in the background. SALLY and LARRY don't notice it.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
So what are we looking for?
SALLY SPARROW
A key obviously.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
You're holding a key.
SALLY SPARROW
Yes clearly. It unlocked the barn. You just stood there and watched me.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Oh yeah. Whoops. Okay. Where is the key likely to be located?
SALLY SPARROW
Anywhere! Who knows where? You look over there. I'll have a look round these hay bales.
LARRY walks over to an old carriage and has a look around.
SALLY walks over to a giant hay bale.
SALLY has a good rummage around.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
It's like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
SALLY springs up to her feet.
SALLY SPARROW
Larry you are a genius! That's it.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What?
SALLY SPARROW
The key is bound to be hidden inside the hay somewhere. Come and help.
LARRY quickly walks over to help SALLY look through the hay.
They both start chucking hay around.
The key now becomes visible.
SALLY goes to grab the key.
LARRY goes to grab the key.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Look at that. We found the key together. A team.
The scene starts to become all romantic as the both smile at each other with love in their eyes.
SALLY leans towards LARRY and LARRY leans toward SALLY.
They both kiss.
SALLY SPARROW
A team.
They both stand up.
LARRY whispers to himself.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Good kisser.
SALLY SPARROW
Now we have the key, what does it unlock?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
A chest? A cupboard? Probably a door!
SALLY SPARROW
What doo- Do you hear that?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Here what?
SALLY SPARROW
There's something beeping.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
So there is.
SALLY SPARROW
It's underneath us.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What's underneath us?
SALLY SPARROW
Let's find out.
SALLY kneels down.
SALLY starts to push the hay on the floor to one side.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
A trap door.
LARRY kneels down.
SALLY SPARROW
It's locked.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Unlock it. See if that key fits.
SALLY puts the key in the lock and turns the lock.
SALLY SPARROW
Well that was simple.
SALLY pulls up the trap door.
A disc type object is placed underneath the trap door.
The beep is now louder.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What even is it?
SALLY SPARROW
I don't know.
SALLY picks up the object.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
It looks like it has a button on it.
LARRY pushes the button.
The disc type object begins to flash blue and red and beep incredibly loud.
LARRY and SALLY begin to disappear from the room.
SALLY is shouting.
SALLY SPARROW
What's happening?
SALLY and LARRY have both disappeared from the room. The disc type object is left behind.
CUTS TO:
INT. INSIDE THE TARDIS – NIGHT
SALLY and LARRY reappear appear around the TARDIS console.
They had been teleported by the disc type object.
SALLY and LARRY are both shocked.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Guessing we were teleported? Oh my God. What about that Cyberman?
SALLY gets up and runs up the stairs.
SALLY shouts down the stairs.
SALLY SPARROW
He's still outside the door to the village. I can just about see him.
LAARY NIGHTINGALE
Well quickly get away from him.
SALLY SPARROW
No wait. He's not moving.
SALLY shouts down the corridor.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
Oi!
SALLY turns to LARRY.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
He won't move.
SALLY opens her bag and has a dig.
SALLY pulls out HANDLES.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
Here, catch.
SALLY chucks HANDLES to LARRY.
LARRY catches HANDLES.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
Find Handles' socket and plug him in. He should turn on. Maybe he knows what is going on.
LARRY finds the socket and puts HANDLES on it.
HANDLES powers up.
HANDLES
Systems restarting… Systems restarting… Systems restarting… Hello Larry. How can I help?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
You remember that village you took us too?
HANDLES
The Small Village Of Gallifrey, yes.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
That Cyberman who followed us won't move from where he is stood. Why?
HANDLES
Is he looking through the windows?
SALLY SPARROW
Yes! Yes he is!
HANDLES
Then he shall not move. He is dead. Any enemy of the Doctor who even looks at the village has their memories or systems destroyed and they die. The only way he will move is if you move him.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Well that takes a lot of weight off our shoulders.
SALLY SPARROW
What about the Doctor? We need to get to him and help him and Clara.
HANDLES
Searching for the Doctor. The Doctor is at the River Thames.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What's he doing there?
HANDLES
I can detect that he is underneath it.
SALLY SPARROW
A base?
HANDLES
Yes a base.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
The Cybermen! The Cybermen have him. Can you take us to him Handles?
HANDLES
I detect the TARDIS is damaged. Repairing the TARDIS… Repairing the TARDIS… Repairing the TARDIS…
The TARDIS starts to repair itself and the broken parts become good as new.
HANDLES
TARDIS repaired.
SALLY SPARROW
Then let's go.
HANDLES
Locking onto the Doctor… Taking you to the Doctor. Please hold on.
SALLY and LARRY quickly grab onto the barriers in the TARDIS.
The TARDIS starts to make a funny sound as it moves to the location of THE DOCTOR and CLARA.
The TARDIS begins to shake and vibrate as it crash lands.
HANDLES
You have reached your destination. Please take all belongings with you.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What's out there?
SALLY SPARROW
£20 says it's the Cybermen's base.
HANDLES
Correct. I cannot come with you. I need to recharge fully. Please do not disconnect me. I will warn you now. There is Cybermen directly out the door and the Doctor and Clara are there too.
The TARDIS monitor turns on.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Sally come look at the screen.
On the screen a room can be seen. THE DOCTOR and CLARA are both sat round a table surrounded by CYBERMEN.
SALLY SPARROW
How close to the Cybermen are we?
HANDLES
The TARDIS landed silently and the Cybermen did not notice the TARDIS. I have cloaked the TARDIS. You are about 10 metres away from them. Leave as quietly as possible.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Come on.
HANDLES
Good luck.
SALLY SPARROW
Thanks Handles.
LARRY and SALLY walk towards the TARDIS doors.
LARRY quietly opens the door.
CUTS TO:
INT. BASE UNDERNEATH THE RIVER THAMES. THE MAIN CONTROL ROOM – INT
THE DOCTOR and CLARA are sat round the table still.
The CYBERMEN and the CYBERLEADER have their backs to the TARDIS.
LARRY silently steps out the TARDIS and leaps behind a wall.
THE DOCTOR notices LARRY and winks at him as if he has a plan.
LARRY signals to SALLY that it is safe to leap across.
SALLY silently steps out of the TARDIS and shuts the door.
SALLY leaps towards LARRY.
LARRY catches SALLY.
LARRY is whispering to SALLY.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What are we supposed to do now?
SALLY SPARROW
I guess we wait.
CUTS TO:
CYBERLEADER
With the help from you Doctor, the CyberGod will rise!
THE DOCTOR
What is my role in this exactly?
CYBERLEADER
You will give us the ability to drain the entire world's electricity.
THE DOCTOR
Oh really? How?
CYBERLEADER
By being upgraded.
THE DOCTOR looks over to SALLY and LARRY.
He mouths the word 'Handles' to them.
CUTS TO:
LARRY and SALLY both look confused.
LARRY whispers.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What did he say?
SALLY SPARROW
I think he said Handles.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
What about Handles?
The TARDIS door slightly opens.
SALLY and LARRY turn around.
SALLY SPARROW
Go and grab Handles from the TARDIS. But quietly!
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
He won't be fully charged.
SALLY SPARROW
I don't care. Go and get him.
LARRY quietly goes to get HANDLES.
CUTS TO:
THE DOCTOR stands up.
THE DOCTOR
Come on then. Upgrade me.
CLARA
Doctor! What are you doing?
THE DOCTOR
Shush Clara, I know what I'm doing.
CUTS TO:
LARRY steps out of the cloaked TARDIS holding HANDLES.
THE DOCTOR smiles at LARRY.
THE DOCTOR
Now before you upgrade me there's one thing you should know.
CYBER LEADER
That is what?
THE DOCTOR
I'm in possession of Cyber Technology. I can stop your plans this very second. That scares you doesn't it? Larry, Handles!
LARRY chucks HANDLES over to THE DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR (Continued)
You see. I can wipe out you, your friends down here and your systems. Just with one Cyberman's head. Hello Handles. How're you?
HANDLES
Greetings Doctor. I am very well.
THE DOCTOR
Good. You can either put the Electricity back and leave this world. Or I will destroy you. What do you choose?
CYBERLEADER
The electricity is irreversible. It cannot be returned.
THE DOCTOR
Why? What have you done?
CYBERLEADER
The ring is at maximum potential. It is destructible.
THE DOCTOR
Well guess what!
THE DOCTOR puts HANDLES down on the table.
THE DOCTOR pulls out the exact same ring from his jacket.
THE DOCTOR
I have a ring exactly like that. Care to explain where you discovered the ring?
CYBERLEADER
It was located on the streets of London.
THE DOCTOR
With a flick of a switch, the electricity will be passed through London as it should be and the Cybermen will go with it.
CYBERLEADER
Explain!
THE DOCTOR places the ring on the console next to the other one.
THE DOCTOR
Clara, Sally, Larry, take Handles and get inside the TARDIS now!
CLARA grabs HANDLES off the table and runs for the TARDIS.
SALLY enters the TARDIS. Followed by LARRY and then followed by CLARA with HANDLES.
CLARA shuts the door of the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR flicks a switch on the Cyber Console.
The systems begin to spark and vibrate.
An alarm begins to sound in the room.
CYBERLEADER
What have you done Doctor?
THE DOCTOR
It was very nice to meet you. I hope the death isn't too painful. Oh and did I mention that your Cyber God won't be rising. Never. Bye!
THE DOCTOR runs towards the TARDIS.
The TARDIS is still cloaked.
THE DOCTOR runs right into the TARDIS.
THE DOCTOR
Karma is a bastard.
CLARA opens the TARDIS door.
CLARA
You idiot Doctor.
THE DOCTOR
Yes I know.
THE DOCTOR gets up.
THE DOCTOR enters the TARDIS.
The base is now on fire.
CYBERLEADER
We will get revenge Doctor! We will get revenge!
INT. INSIDE THE TARDIS – NIGHT
THE DOCTOR, CLARA, SALLY and LARRY are all around the TARDIS console.
THE DOCTOR
Best get you two home.
SALLY SPARROW
Oh there's a Cyberman up the stairs and round the corner. Sorry Doctor. It's dead though.
THE DOCTOR
It's alright. I'll use it as a statue.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Sally come with me.
LARRY sits SALLY down on the stairs.
LARRY gets down on one knee.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
From the Weeping Angels to the Cybermen. We've been through a lot together. We've even run a shop together. There's not been a day where I've stopped loving you. The kiss earlier changed the way I look at you. I look at you as my lover.
LARRY pull out a ring from his coat.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE (Continued)
Sally, will you do the honours of being my wife?
THE DOCTOR and CLARA both smile at SALLY.
SALLY SPARROW
Oh wow. I don't know what to say.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Yes?
SALLY SPARROW
Yes. Yes I will.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
I… I…
LARRY sheds a tear.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE (Continued)
I didn't think you'd say yes.
SALLY hugs LARRY.
SALLY SPARROW
Together or not at all.
CLARA
Looks like you two have a wedding to plan.
THE DOCTOR
I have an idea. Do you two want to get married today?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
We haven't got any rings.
THE DOCTOR
I can sort that.
SALLY SPARROW
Or a dress.
THE DOCTOR
It won't be needed. I have an idea that will make your wedding incredibly special. You two go and get yourselves ready.
The happy couple walk up the stairs and out of site to prepare themselves.
CLARA
What's your plan?
THE DOCTOR
Larry's sister, Kathy, was sent back in time to 1920 by a Weeping Angel. I'm taking them to her time period so they can be at their wedding.
CLARA
This is why you're loveable.
THE DOCTOR
There's the rings in a chest over there. Get them out and make sure the other two are okay. We're going to see Kathy. Do not tell them or let them leave the TARDIS.
CLARA
Sure.
THE DOCTOR sets the coordinates to Hull between 1920 and 1980.
THE DOCTOR
Here we go.
The TARDIS has landed in 1960 in Hull.
THE DOCTOR leaves the TARDIS.
CUTS TO:
EXT. A STREET IN HULL – 1960- OUTSIDE KATHY NIGHTINGALE'S HOUSE – DAY
THE DOCTOR walks out of the TARDIS.
A woman walks past THE DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR
Excuse me. Does Kathy Nightingale live in that house?
WOMAN
Yeah she does.
The WOMAN walks away.
THE DOCTOR walks up the pathway.
THE DOCTOR knocks the house door.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE answers the door.
THE DOCTOR
Hello. You must be Kathy?
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
Yes. How do you know?
THE DOCTOR
You remember the Doctor?
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
Yes of course I do.
THE DOCTOR
That's me.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
No. He had a different face.
THE DOCTOR
Long story. I'm obviously him. No one else would knock on your door knowing your name and start talking about the Doctor.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
Good point. What do you want?
THE DOCTOR
I have an engaged couple in my TARDIS. Any guesses who?
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
No. No. No you haven't.
THE DOCTOR
That's right. Sally and Larry.
KATHY starts to cry.
THE DOCTOR
I've brought them here so you can see them get married. It's my wedding present to them. They don't know.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
When's the wedding?
THE DOCTOR
Today.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
There's a church down the road. It's free today. My husband, Ben, is a vicar. He could marry them.
THE DOCTOR
That would be good. What's the time?
KATHY looks at the clock in her hallway.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
2:30pm.
THE DOCTOR
Shall we make the wedding in an hour?
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
I'll tell my family.
THE DOCTOR
Great. See you there.
THE DOCTOR turns around walks away.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
Doctor.
THE DOCTOR turns around.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE (Continued)
Thank you.
THE DOCTOR smiles and walks towards the TARDIS.
KATHY shuts her front door.
THE DOCTOR enters the TARDIS.
CUTS TO:
INT. INSIDE THE TARDIS – DAY
SALLY has found the wardrobe of the TARDIS and found a dress she likes. LARRY is stood their in a suit.
THE DOCTOR
So then. Are you ready?
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Where are we?
THE DOCTOR
Doesn't matter. Do you have the rings?
SALLY SPARROW
Yes. They're beautiful. Thank you Doctor.
THE DOCTOR
No worries. Look after them. Come on.
THE DOCTOR walks out of the TARDIS.

LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Kathy? But…
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
Congratulations.
SALLY sheds a tear.
SALLY SPARROW
We're not in present day are we Doctor?
THE DOCTOR gets up and walks towards KATHY.
THE DOCTOR
No. We're in 1960. It's my wedding present to you. Kathy being at your wedding.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
I never thought I'd see you two again. In fact I knew I wouldn't. But this just shows how wrong I was.
LARRY goes to hug KATHY.
SALLY then hugs KATHY.
SALLY SPARROW
Can't she come back with us Doctor?
THE DOCTOR
No.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Why not?
THE DOCTOR
She wrote to you. Remember? She has a grave stone. I'm sorry Kathy. Time would go wrong and create a paradox that could damage the world itself.
SALLY SPARROW
Time can be rewritten.
THE DOCTOR
When it is possible. We can't change this. She was sent here by the Weeping Angels. It's a fixed point in time.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
I'm better off here. I've got my children and my husband, Ben. He just married you in case you didn't know. My life is here now. I can't let it go.
SALLY SPARROW
I understand.
THE DOCTOR
We need to be getting back to 2016.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
Wow. Time flies. Go on. You guys get going.
SALLY, LARRY and KATHY create one big hug.

Take care of yourself. We're all family no matter what point in time we are.

Always.

SALLY kneels down.
SALLY SPARROW
You'll look after your mummy and daddy won't you? They're precious to you. You don't ever want to lose them.
The children nod at SALLY.
SALLY SPARROW (Continued)
That's good.
SALLY kisses every child gently on the head and walks towards LARRY.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
Thank you again Doctor.
THE DOCTOR
Anytime.
LARRY NIGHTINGALE
Goodbye Kathy.
SALLY SPARROW
Bye Kathy.
KATHY stands and smiles at them as tears gradually fall from her eyes.
THE DOCTOR, SALLY and LARRY leave the church.
KATHY walks over to her children and BEN follows her.
KATHY NIGHTINGALE
We're all a family and we're going to have the best possible lives. We're never going to leave each other.
