Back on the Tardis the Doctor slowly walks around the console, setting controls, then goes to comfort his wife. The Doctor leans in and kisses Rose after an moment she looks over to see a golden energy fly into the Tardis and solidify into the bride, figure in white, complete with veil. Rose was shocked and she said "What?" Donna Noble turns around. Donna yelps in surprise the Doctor as surprised as Rose "What?" Donna asked them disdainfully "Who are both of you?"Doctor and Rose were looking around, dumbfounded The Doctor said "But" Donna asked both Gallifreyans "Where am I, eh?" Rose said again"What?"Donna yelled at both of them "What the hell is this place?" Doctor and Rose said at the same time "What?"
The Doctor said "You can't do that. I wasn't. We're in flight. That is, that is physically impossible! How did-"Donna said demanding "Tell me where I am. I demand you tell me right now where am I?"Rose tells the redhead "You're inside the Tardis."Donna ask confused "The what?" The Doctor repeats his wife "The Tardis."Donna ask still confused "The what?" Both the Doctor and Rose at the same time starting to get fed up exclaimed at Donna "The Tardis!" Donna asked again "The what?" Rose "told her calmly It's called the Tardis." Donna said "That's not even a proper word. You're just saying things." The Doctor asked her "How did you get in here?" Donna told him "Well, obviously, when you and Blondie kidnapped me. Who was it? Who's paying you? Is it Nerys? Oh my God, she's finally got me back. This has got Nerys written all over it."Rose asked the ginger "Who the hell is Nerys?"Donna said "Your best friend." The Doctor said and asked "Hold on, wait a minute. What are you dressed like that for?"Donna said sarcastically then going seriously "I'm going ten pin bowling. Why do you think, dumbo? I was halfway up the aisle! I've been waiting all my life for this. I was just seconds away, and then you, I don't know, you drugged me or something!"Rose confessed "We haven't done anything!" Donna told the two time lords "I'm having the police on you! Me and my husband, as soon as he is my husband, we're going to sue the living backside off you!" Donna runs down the ramp to the doors. Both the Doctor and Rose protest holding up a hand as if that will stop the bride "No, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Don't!" She opens the doors and looks at a pretty gaseous nebula. The The Doctor says "You're in space. Outer space. This is our spaceship. It's called the Tardis."Donna asked both Gallifreyans "How am I breathing?"Rose answered "The Tardis is protecting us."Donna asked "Who are you two?" The Doctor told her"I'm the Doctor." Rose told her "And I'm the Bad Wolf, but you can call me Wolf for " The Doctor telepathically asks his wife why didn't you tell her your birth name,why did you tell her your title? Rose telepathically replies her husband theta,I am not going be Rose anymore too painful to use my birth name. He replies I understand love Donna said "Donna." The Doctor asks "Human?"Donna asks "Yeah. Is that optional?" Rose tells donna "Well, it is for us."Donna "Both of you are aliens." the Doctor said "Yeah." Donna said "It's freezing with these doors open." Rose goes and slams the doors shut then goes back to the console where her husband is standing.The Doctor said "I don't understand that and I understand everything. This this can't happen! There is no way a human being can lock itself onto the Tardis and transport itself inside. It must be-" He grabs an ophthalmoscope and uses it to look into Donna's eyes. "Impossible. Some sort of subatomic connection? Something in the temporal field? Maybe something pulling you into alignment with the Chronon shell. Maybe something macro mining your DNA within the interior matrix. Maybe a genetic-" Donna slaps the Doctor. Rose exclaimed at Donna "Oi that's my job!" The Doctor asks the redhead "What was that for?" Donna yelled at them "Get me to the church!" Rose told her "Right! Fine! Me and my husband don't want you here anyway! Where is this wedding?" Donna said "Saint Mary's, Hayden Road, Chiswick, London, England, Earth, the Solar System." Donna grabs a blouse that is hanging over the railing. "I knew it, acting all innocent. I'm not the first, am I? How many women have you abducted?"Rose "That's mine rose said remembering when she and her mother were on the tardis while the doctor was outside trying to capture one of the Ghost(cybermen) she spilt some tea on her shirt so she went to the her and The Doctor's wardrobe room in their bedroom for a new shirt.
The Doctor said "Right, Chiswick." The Doctor and Rose start working at the controls and the Rotor jumps into Tardis materializes near a street in an area surrounded by buildings. When Donna got out she told them "I said, Saint Mary's. What sort of Martians are you two? Where's this? The Doctor said "Something's wrong with her." Rose said "The Tardis, it's like she's"
In the Tardis The Doctor finishes What she was saying "Recalibrating! She's digesting. What is it? What have you eaten? What's wrong?"Donna? You've really got to think. Is there anything that might've caused this? Donna is making the traditional circuit of the Tardis. the DOCTOR said "Anything you might've done? Any sort of alien contacts? I can't let you go wandering off. What if you're dangerous. I mean, have you, have you seen lights in the sky, or did you touch something like something, something different, something strange? Or something made out of a, box of metal or. Who're you getting married to? Are you sure he's human? He's not a bit overweight with a zip around his forehead, is he?" Both Time Lords notices she wasn't talking and wasn't even in their tardis both Rose and her husband exclaimed "Donna!"
Outside the tardis in the Courtyard Donna cannot cope with the reality of dimensional transcendentalism and is walking away. Rose said "Donna." Donna tells both Time lords "both of you just Leave me alone. I just want to get married." The Doctor told her "Come back to the Tardis." Donna told them "No way. That box is too weird. Rose said "It's bigger on the inside, that's all." Donna asked "Oh! That's all? Ten past three. I'm going to miss it." Rose said "You can phone them. Tell them where you are." Donna asked the Time Lady "How do I do that?" Rose told her "You can use my mobile." DONNA asks her as she barrows Rose's phone "Since when do Martians have phones?" The Doctor asks "This man you're marrying. What's his name?"Donna said lovingly "Lance." The Doctor said "Good luck, Lance." Donna snapped at him and said "Oi! No stupid Martians is going to stop me from getting married. To hell with both of you!" Donna runs away. The Doctor and Rose said "We're , were not, we're not, we're not from Mars." Both Gallifreyans ran after her.
On a Street Donna yelled "Taxi!" It drives past. Donna asks "Why's his light on?" Rose said "There's another one!" Donna shouted "Taxi! Oi Another drives past with its For Hire light on. The Doctor said "There's one!"Donna shouted "Oi!" The Doctor and Rose asked "Do you have this effect on everyone? Why aren't they stopping?" Donna said "They think I'm in fancy dress." A driver said "Stay off the sauce, darling!" Donna said "They think I'm drunk." Men in a car said thinking Donna is a man Crossdressing "You're fooling no one, mate!"
Donna said "They think I'm in drag!" The Doctor said "Hold on, hold on." The Doctor does a very piercing whistle and a taxi does a quick U turn to pick them up.
The two time lords and the bossy redhead got in the taxi and Donna said "Saint Mary's in Chiswick, just off Hayden Road. It's an emergency. I'm getting married. Just hurry up!" The driver said "You know it'll cost you, sweetheart? Double rates today." Donna said shocked "Oh, my God. Have you Doctor got any money? how about you Wolf they both said "Er, no. Haven't you?" Donna told them "Pockets!"
Back on the Street The taxi driver dumps them back where he picked them up.
Donna shouted at the driver and said "And that goes double for your mother! I'll have him. I've got his number. I'll have him. Talk about the Christmas spirit." Rose and the Doctor asks "Is it Christmas?" Donna told them "Well, duh. Maybe not on Mars, but here it's Christmas Eve. Phone box! We can reverse the charges!" The Doctor asked her "How come you're getting married on Christmas Eve?" Donna told him "Can't bear it. I hate Christmas. Honeymoon, Morocco. Sunshine, lovely. What's the operator? I've not done this in years. What do you dial? 100?" Donna uses Rose's mobile phone Rose tells Donna "Once you're done with my phone give it back to me. The Doctor and Rose said "we'll get money!" The Doctor and Rose joins the queue at a cash machine. Donna said muttering to herself said "Oh, answer the phone!"
On the Street Donna was talking to her mother on Rose's phone Donna said "Mum, get off the phone and listen. I'm in. Oh, my God, I don't know where I am! It's a street, and there's WH Smith but it's definitely Earth." Rose gives the London Credit Bank ATM the sonic treatment, and goes straight to Please Take Your Cash without the rest of the preamble. Donna accosts a woman in the street. Donna tells the Woman "Excuse me. I'm begging you. I'm getting married, I really am and I'm late and I just need to borrow a tenner and I'll pay you back I promise and it's Christmas." The Doctor and Rose takes the money from the ATM then spots a trio of Santas playing God Rest Ye Merry on brass said "Taxi! St Mary's Chiswick. Thanks for nothing, spaceman and Spacewoman I'll see you both in Court." Donna gets into the taxi, which is driven by another Santa. The Doctor and Rose yelled "Donna!" Donna drives away. The Santas point their instruments at the Doctor and Rose, so they both zaps the ATM, which sends banknotes flying across the street. Lots of people rush to grab the money and he runs away.
In the Taxi that is being driven by a Robo-Santa DONNA said "I promise you, mate, I'll give you the rest when we get there. Oh, I look a mess." She takes off her veil Donna told the robot "Hurry up." The Doctor and Rose returned to the Tardis. Donna said "Hold on a minute. I said Chiswick. You've missed the turning. Excuse me, we should've turned off back there. We're going the wrong way!" The Doctor starts the Tardis going as the taxi pulls onto the flyover, missing another car by inches. Donna said and yelled "What the hell are you doing? I'm late for the wedding. My own wedding. Do you get that?" The Tardis is tracking Donna. Donna yelled "Turn around! Turn this cab around right now! Are you deaf or what?" Donna tugs at the Santa's hood and its mask falls off to reveal that it is a robot. Donna gasped "Oh, my God." Donna tried to open a window. Donna said "Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Get me out! Help me! Help me! I'm being driven by a robot!"
In the Tardis Sparks are flying. Rose hits the console with a hammer. The Doctor said "Behave!"
Outside the Taxi The Tardis swoops down and bounces off the tarmac. Donna muttered "You are kidding me." The Tardis weaves through the traffic as the Doctor ties a piece of string around a control lever. It comes alongside the taxi. Rose opened the doors Rose shouted "Open the door!" Donna "Do what?" Rose repeated herself "Open the door!" Donna informed the Time Lady "I can't, it's locked!" Rose uses her sonic screwdriver. Donna gets the window open.
DONNA told her "Santa's a robot." Rose told her "Donna, open the door." Donna askes "What for?" Rose said "You've got to jump!" Donna told Rose I'm not blinking flip jumping. I'm supposed to be getting married! The robot accelerates away. The there are more bangs from the console and the Tardis gives chase, bouncing off the roof of a car. When it is close enough, Rose tries the screwdriver on the robot driver. It clamps its hands onto the steering wheel.
Rose said "Listen to me. You've got to jump." Donna told her "I'm not jumping on a motorway."
Rose told her "Whatever that thing is, it needs you. And whatever it needs you for, it's not good! Now, come on!" Donna told her "I'm in my wedding dress!" Rose said sarcastically "Yes, you look lovely! Come on!" Donna opens the door. Rose reaches out for her. The kids in the Range Rover ahead shout jump! DONNA told her "I can't do it." Rose said "Trust me." Donna said said and asked Rose "Wolf,I can tell lost someone. Whoever it was did they trust you?" Rose said "Yes, she did. And she is not dead. She is so alive. Now, jump!" Donna launches herself out of the taxi and lands on top of Rose. The children celebrate. The Tardis doors slam shut and it zooms upwards.
On Shoe Lane rooftop at 3:30. The Doctor is emptying a fire extinguisher in through the Tardis doors. While Rose was sitting with Donna A lot of smoke was coming out. The Doctor and Rose told her "The funny thing is, for a spaceship, she doesn't really do that much flying. We'd better give her a couple of hours. You all right?" Donna told them "Doesn't matter." DOCTOR: Did we miss it? Donna told both Time Lords "Yeah." The Doctor said "Well, you can book another date."
Donna said "Course we can." Rose said "You've still got the honeymoon.' Donna said "It's just a holiday now." The Doctor and Rose said "Yeah. Yeah. Sorry." Donna told both of them It's not any of your fault you two. (I can't thinking how to state it better for the plural form of It's not your fault.) The Doctor and Rose told her "Oh? That's a change." Donna told them "I Wish you two had a time machine, then we could go back and get it right." The Doctor and Rose said "Yeah, yeah. But even if I did, I couldn't go back on someone's personal timeline. Apparently." Donna sits on the edge of the roof, looking towards St Paul's Cathedral and the City beyond. The Doctor takes off his jacket and puts it around her "God, you're skinny. This wouldn't fit a rat." The Doctor said "Oh and you'd better put this on." A gold ring. Donna asks "Oh, do you have to rub it in?" The Doctor said "Oi, I'm married to Wolf." Rose told her "Those creatures can trace you. This is a bio-damper. Should keep you hidden." Donna asks "For better or for worse. So, come on then. Robot santas, what are they for?" Rose said Ah, your basic robo scavenger. The Father Christmas stuff is just a disguise. They're trying to blend in. we met them last Christmas." Donna asks "Why, what happened then?" The Doctor said "Great big spaceship hovering over London? You didn't notice?" Donna said "I had a bit of a hangover." Rose said "We spent Christmas Day just over there, the Powell Estate, with my family. she was family Well, she , gone now." Donna asks Rose "Your family member,that you lost who was she"The Doctor knows that Rose doesn't want to answer asked Donna "Question is, what do camouflaged robot mercenaries want with you? And how did you get inside the Tardis? I don't know. What's your job?" Donna said "I'm a secretary." The Doctor scans her with his sonic screwdriver. The Doctor said "It's weird. I mean, you're not special, you're not powerful, you're not connected, you're not clever, you're not important." Donna asked Rose getting annoyed by the Doctor with his Sonic Screwdriver This family member of yours. Just before she left, did she punch your husband in the face? Stop bleeping me!" The Doctor asks "What kind of secretary?" Donna told Rose and the Doctor "I'm at HC Clements. It's where I met Lance. I was temping."
Donna was remembering Memory while she told them "I mean, it was all a bit posh really. I'd spent the last two years at a double glazing firm. Well, I thought I'm never going to fit in here. And then he made me a coffee. I mean, that just doesn't happen. Nobody gets the secretaries a coffee."
On Shoe Lane rooftop in the present Donna said "And Lance, he's the head of HR! He don't need to bother with me. But he was nice, he was funny."
Donna was remembering a time on a staircase with her fiance Lance said "She's not that bad!" Donna told him "She is!"
Back on Shoe Lane rooftop in the present Donna told both of Gallifreyans "And it turns out he thought everyone else was really snotty too. So that's how it started, me and him. One cup of coffee. That was it." The Doctor asks "When was this?" Donna told him "Six months ago." The Doctor said "Bit quick to get married." Rose told the doctor "We were together for a year till we got married and that's quick so what Love!" Donna said "Well, he insisted."
Donna was remembering a time of when she was in a bar with Lance and asked him "Will you marry me?"
On Shoe Lane rooftop in the present Donna said "And he nagged, and he nagged me"
On a stairwell in one of her memories Lance is trying to run away. Donna said Go on, just think about it. We'd make a great couple. And I'd get rid of the dog, and we could do up that back bedroom."
Back in the present on Shoe Lane rooftop Donna said "And he just wore me down. And then finally, I just gave in."
On a Street in her memories Donna was begging Lace she said "Please? Oh, please? Please? Please, please, please, please, please."
Back in the present on Shoe Lane rooftop The Doctor and Rose asked "What does HC Clements do?" Donna said "Oh, security systems. You know, entry codes, ID cards, that sort of thing. If you ask me, it's a posh name for locksmiths." The DOCTOR said "Keys." Donna was said "Anyway, enough of my CV. Come on, it's time to face the consequences. Oh, this is going to be so shaming. One of You two can do the explaining, Martian boy and Martian Girl." The Doctor and Rose said "Yeah. we're not from Mars." Donna said "Oh, I had this great big reception all planned. Everyone's going to be heartbroken."
At the Reception Everyone is bopping to Slade, under a big disco ball, and having a great time when the Doctor,Rose and Donna enter. Donna's entrance stops the fun. Donna asked shouting "You had the reception without me?" Lance a black man asked her "Donna, what happened to you?" Donna said "You had the reception without me?" The Doctor greeted himself "Hello. I'm the Doctor and this is my wife." Rose greeted herself and said ?Hello I'm The Bad Wolf but you can call me 'Wolf' For short." Donna told both Time lords "They had the reception without me." The Doctor said "Yes, me and Wolf gathered Right love." Rose nodded Nerys said "Well, it was all paid for. Why not?" Donna said sarcastically "Thank you, Nerys." Sylvia said to her daughter "Well, what were we supposed to do? I got your silly little message in the end. I'm on Earth? Very funny. What the hell happened? How did you do it? I mean, what's the trick, because I'd love to know." They all start talking at once. Lance asked her "Where were you the whole time?" They finally shut up with Donna bursts into tears. Lance hugs her and everyone applauds, except Nerys. Donna winks at the Doctor. Later, as Lance and Donna are dancing together, all happy again. A Singer was singing Love don't Roam by Neil Hannon "I have wandered, I have rambled, I have crossed this crowded sphere. And I've seen " Rose got her Phone back from Donna when the doctor and Rose were taking Donna back to her wedding Rose was on her phone, to look up HC Clements. The Singer continued "Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl, what is this man to do. So reel me in, my precious girl." On her phone the screen said 'HC Clements, sole proprietor - Torchwood.' The Singer continued "Come on, take me home. Cos my body's tired of travelling and my heart don't wish to roam." Rose shows The Doctor what came up on her phone 'HC Clements, sole proprietor - Torchwood.' As they both watch the dancers, they both remembers the fun times with her mother and The Doctor's mother-in-law The Singer continued "Well, you took me in, you stole my heart, I cannot roam no more. Cos love it stays within you, it doesn't wash up on a shore. Then a fighting man forgets each cut, each knock, each bruise, each fall. But a fighting man cannot forget" The Doctor and Rose spots the man making the video record of the wedding. The Cameraman told both of them "Oh, I taped the whole thing. They've all had a look. They said sell it to You've Been Framed. I said, more like the News. Here we are."
they both watch the replay of when Donna turned into gold energy and flew off. The Doctor and Rose said "Can't be. Play it again?" The Cameraman said "Clever, minds you two. Good trick, I'll give her that. I was clapping." Rose said "But that looks like Huon Particles." The Cameraman asks "What's that then?" Rose told him "That's impossible. That's ancient. Huon energy doesn't exist anymore, not for billions of years. Right Honey" The Doctor said "Yep Wolf Love So old that it can't be hidden by a biodamper!" The Doctor and Rose runs outside to see robot Santas approaching. The Doctor and Rose went to Donna and said "Donna! Donna, they've found you."
Donna said confused "But you said I was safe." The Doctor explained The bio-damper doesn't work because whatever is in you is older than the biodamper but is supposes to be extinct. We've got to get everyone out." Donna said "My God, it's all my family." The Doctor said "Out the back door!" There are robots out there as well. Rose said "Maybe not." both the Time Lord,Time Lady and the bossy ginger human looked through the French windows. Donna said scared "We're trapped." A robot has a remote control. The Doctor said "Christmas trees." Donna asked the two gallifreyans "What about them?" Rose answered "They kill. Get away from the tree!" Donna ordered loudly as well "Don't touch the trees!" The Doctor and Rose shouted and ordered "Get away from the Christmas trees! Everyone get away from them! Everyone stay away from the trees! Stay away from the trees!" Sylvia exclaimed "Oh, for God's sakes, the man and woman are idiots. Why? What harm's a Christmas tree going to. Oh." The plastic baubles are floating off the trees, which are real. Then they start to zoom at the people and go Bang! when they hit something. Panic, the presents go tumbling, and one man gets thrown into the air and lands squarely on the wedding cake. Donna and Lance hide underneath a table. The Doctor looks up over the DJ's sound desk to see six Santa's all lined up in front of the bar. The Doctor and Rose said "Oi! Santa! Word of advice. If you're attacking a man and a Woman with sonic screwdrivers, don't let them near the sound system." Both The Doctor and Rose jams the screwdriver into the deck, and the resulting harmonics shake the robots to (Donna's father) said "It's all right, Stan. You'll be all right. It's all over." Donna said "Michael? Connie? Oh, Senita, do something useful." Lance asked "What is it? What were they?"
Donna told him "Just stop wittering. Just help them." The Doctor and rose dissect the Robot santas and Rose said "Look at that. Remote control for the decorations, but there's a second remote control for the robots." The Doctor finishes and said "They're not scavengers anymore. We think someone's taken possession." Donna said "Never mind all that. You're a doctor. People have been hurt." The Doctor said "Nah, they wanted you alive. Look." He throws a bauble to Donna. Rose told her "They're not active now." Donna said "All I'm saying, you both could help." The Doctor said "Got to think of the bigger picture. There's still a signal!"
SYLVIA asks her daughter "Donna, who are they? Who is that man and woman?
Outside the reception hotel Rose said "There's someone behind this, directing the roboforms."
Donna asked "But why is it me? What have I done?"
The Doctor told her "If and when all three of us find the controller, we'll find that out. Ooo! It's up there. Something in the sky."
At HC Clements office Rose said "To you lot this might just be a locksmiths, but H C Clements was brought up twenty three years ago by the Torchwood Institute." Donna asks "Who are they?" The Doctor explained "They were behind the battle of Canary Wharf. Cyberman invasion. Skies over London full of Daleks?" Donna said "Oh, I was in Spain." Rose told her "They had Cybermen in Spain." Donna told the two Time Lords "Scuba diving." Rose said "That big picture, Donna. You keep on missing it. Torchwood was destroyed, but HC Clements stayed in business. I think someone else came in and took over the operation." Donna asked both of them But what do they want with me? The Doctor said "Somehow you've been dosed with Huon energy. And that's a problem, because Huon energy hasn't existed since the Dark Times. The only place you'd find a Huon particle now is a remnant in the heart of the Tardis. See? That's what happened. Say, that's the Tardis." He picks up a coffee mug. The Doctor said "And that's you." He picked up A pencil. The Doctor said "The particles inside you activated. The two sets of particles magnetised and whap." He shakes the mug and the pencil, then drops the pencil into the mug. Rose said "You were pulled inside the Tardis." Donna asks "I'm a pencil inside a mug?"
The Doctor said "Yes, you are. 4H. Sums you up. Lance? What was HC Clements working on? Anything top secret? Special operations? Do not enter?" Lance said "I don't know, I'm in charge of personnel. I wasn't project manager. Why am I even explaining myself? What the hell are we talking about?" The Doctor gets a computer screen to work. It shows a plan of the building. Rose said "They make keys, that's the point. And look at this. We're on the third floor."
The two Time lords,and two humans got in a Lift or elevator The Doctor said "Underneath reception, there's a basement, yes?" Rose asked "Then how come when you look on the lift, there's a button marked lower basement? There's a whole floor which doesn't exist on the official plans. So what's down there, then?" Lance asked them "Are you two telling me this building's got a secret floor?" The Doctor said No, we're showing you this building's got a secret floor." Donna said "It needs a key." The Doctor and Rose said "We don't" Rose sonics the LB button. The Doctor said "Right then. Thanks, you two. We can handle this. See you later."
Donna said "No chance, Martian man and Martian girl. You're the man and woman who're keeps saving my life. I ain't letting you both out of my sight." Rose said "Going down." Donna said "Lance?" Lance said "Maybe I should go to the police." Donna ordered her fiance "Inside." Lance gets in the lift. The Doctor said "To honour and obey?" Lance said "Tell me about it, mate." Donna said feeling like she was being offended sais "Oi."
In the Lower basement corridor Lit in eerie green. Donna asked "Where are we? Well, what goes on down here?" The Doctor said "Let's find out." Donna asked "Do you think Mister Clements knows about this place?" Rose said "The mysterious HC Clements? I think he's part of it. Oh, look. Transport." Rose said "Fantastic." (That is going to be Rose's catchphrase till she regenerates) there were 4 of Those weird two wheel electric stand up jobs. Donna can't help laughing. They arrive at a bulkhead door labelled Torchwood. Authorised personnel only. The Doctor turns the wheel to open it to reveal a ladder. The Doctor said "Wait here. Me and my wife will be back. Don't do anything. Honey you go up first" Donna said "You two better come back." Rose starts up the ladder The Doctor followed. The Doctor replied "We couldn't get rid of you if we tried." Lance asked Donna "Donna, have you thought about this? Properly? I mean, this is serious! What the hell are we going to do?" Donna said "Oh, I thought July." Rose and The Doctor climbs up to another sealed cover operated by a wheel, like in a submarine. Rose opens it and climbs out onto the top of number 8 in the Thames Barrier. Back with Lance and Donna Rose said "Thames flood barrier right on top of us. Torchwood snuck in and built this place underneath." Donna asks "What, there's like a secret base hidden underneath a major London landmark?" The Doctor said "Oh, I know. Unheard of."
In a Laboratory with Lots of bubbling tubes. The Doctor said "Oo, look at this. Stunning!" Donna asks the time lord and Time lady "What does it do?" Rose said "Particle extrusion. Hold on. Brilliant. They've been manufacturing Huon particles. Course, my people got rid of Huons. They unravel the atomic structure." Lace asks both The Doctor and Rose "Your people? Who are they? What company do you both represent?" The Doctor said "Oh, me and my wife are freelancers. But this lot are rebuilding them. They've been using the river. Extruding them through a flat hydrogen base so they've got the end result, Huon particles in liquid form." Donna asked "And that's what's inside me?" Rose turns a knob on top of the container, and the liquid glows gold. So does Donna. Donna said freaked out"Oh, my God!" The Doctor said "Genius. Because the particles are inert, they need something living to catalyse inside and that's you. Saturate the body and then. Ha!" The Doctor jumps backwards. The Doctor said "The wedding! Yes, you're getting married, that's it! Best day of your life, walking down the aisle. Oh, your body's a battleground! There's a chemical war inside! Adrenaline, acetylcholine. Wham! go the endorphins. Oh, you're cooking! Yeah, you're like a walking oven. A pressure cooker, a microwave, all churning away. The particles reach boiling point. Shazam!" Donna slaps him. Rose told Donna "That's still my job." The Doctor asked "What did I do this time?" Donna asked The Doctor "Are you enjoying this?" Donna asked both Gallifreyans "Right, just tell me. These particles, are they dangerous? Am I safe?" The Doctor said lying "Yes." Donna asked them "Doctor,Wolf if your lot got rid of Huon particles, why did they do that?" Rose answered "Because they were deadly." Donna said scared "Oh, my God." The Doctor said "I'll sort it out, Donna. Whatever's been done to you, I'll reverse it. We're not about to lose someone else." The Empress Of The Racnoss said from the intercom "Oh, she is long since lost." The wall in front of them slides up to reveal a tiered hole descending into the earth. The Empress said "I have waited so long, hibernating at the edge of the universe until the secret heart was uncovered and called out to waken!"
Lance runs away. Black robed robots turn their guns on the Doctor, Rose and Donna.
Both Time lords and Donna looked over Drilling site The Doctor said "Someone's been digging. Oh, very Torchwood. Drilled by laser. How far down does it go?" The Empress said "Down and down, all the way to the centre of the Earth!" Rose asked Really? Seriously? What for? Donna said "Dinosaurs." Rose starts laughing The Doctor asks Donna "What?"Donna repeated herself "Dinosaurs?" The Doctor asks confused "What are you on about, dinosaurs?" Donna said "That film, Under the Earth, with dinosaurs. Trying to help." The Doctor said "That's not helping." The Empress said "Such a sweet couple." The Doctor said "Only a madman talks to thin air and trust me, you don't want to make me mad. Where are you?" The Empress told him "High in the sky. Floating so high on Christmas night."
On her Spaceship Rose said on screen "I didn't come all this way to talk on the intercom. Come on, let's have a look at you!" The Empress asked "Who are you with such command?" Rose on screen said I'm the Bad Wolf and my husband is the Doctor." The Empress told them "Prepare your best medicines, doctor man, for you will be sick at heart."
In the Drilling site The Empress transports herself in she look like a humanoid Spider. The DOCTOR said "Racnoss?" Rose said "But that's impossible. You're one of the Racnoss?" The Empress corrected her "Empress of the Racnoss." Lance climbs the ladder, then runs. The Doctor asked "If you're the Empress, where's the rest of the Racnoss? Or, are you the only one?" The Empress said "You two have Such sharp minds." Rose said "That's it, the last of your kind. The Racnoss come from the Dark Times, billions of years ago. Billions. They were carnivores, omnivores. They devoured whole planets." The Empress said "Racnoss are born starving. Is that our fault?" Donna asked scared and horrified "They eat people?" Rose asked "HC Clements, did he wear those, those er, black and white shoes?" Donna said "He did. We used to laugh. We used to call him the fat cat in spats." The Doctor points to a pair of feet sticking out of the web across the ceiling, wearing black and white shoes. Donna said scared "Oh, my God!" The Empress said "Mmm. My Christmas dinner." The Doctor started "You shouldn't even exist." Rose finished what he was saying "Way back in history, the fledgling Empires went to war against the Racnoss they were wiped out." Lance is on a balcony above the Empress. He makes the shush gesture. The Empress stated "Except for me."Donna said "But that's what I've got inside me, that Huon energy thing. Oi! Look at me, lady, I'm talking. Where do I fit in? How comes I get all stacked up with these Huon particles? Look at me, you! Look me in the eye and tell me." The Empress said "The bride is so feisty."Lance is sneaking up behind the giant Empress with a fire axe. Donna said "Yes, I am! And I don't know what you are, you big thing, but a spider's just a spider and an axe is an axe! Now, do it!" Lance starts to swing the axe. The Empress turns and hisses at him. Lance laughs, and the Empress joins in. Lance said "That was a good one. Your face."The Empress said "Lance is funny." Donna said being confused "What?" The Doctor and Rose said I'm sorry. Donna asked them "Sorry for what? Lance, don't be so stupid! Get her!" Lance said "God, she's thick. Months I've had to put up with her. Months. A woman who can't even point to Germany on a map." Donna said "I don't understand." Rose asked "How did you meet him?"Donna said "In the office." The Doctor said "He made you coffee." Donna asked "What?"!Lance said "Every day, I made you coffee." Rose told her "You had to be dosed with liquid particles over six months." Donna said "He was poisoning me." The Doctor said"It was all there in the job title. The Head of Human Resources." Lance said "This time, it's personnel." Donna said "But, we were getting married." Lance said "Well, I couldn't risk you running off. I had to say yes. And then I was stuck with a woman who thinks the height of excitement is a new flavour Pringle. Oh, I had to sit there and listen to all that yap yap yap. Oh, Brad and Angelina. Is Posh pregnant? X Factor, Atkins Diet, Feng Shui, split ends, text me, text me, text me. Dear God, the never ending fountain of fat, stupid trivia. I deserve a medal." Rose asked "Oh, is that what she's offered you? The Empress of the Racnoss? What are you, her consort?" Lance said "It's better than a night with her." Donna said "But I love you."Lance told her "That's what made it easy. It's like you said, Doctor and Wolf. The big picture. There I was working in the city. Everyday I was climbing that ladder. Then it happened. Your Cybermen, your Daleks in the sky. Everything I've spent my life doing seemed so small. What's the point of it all if the human race is nothing? But the chance to go out there, to see it, the size of it all… I think you understand that, don't you, Doctor and Wolf?"The Empress asked "Who is this little physician and Wolf?" Lance said "She said Martians."The Doctor said "Oh, me and my wife are sort of homeless. But the point is, what's down here? The Racnoss are extinct. What's going to help you four thousand miles down? That's just the molten core of the Earth, isn't it?" Lance said "I think he wants us to talk." The Empress said "I think so, too." Lance told them "Well, tough! All we need is Donna." The Empress said Kill this chattering little doctor man and Wolf girl." Donna said "Don't you hurt them!" The Doctor said "No, no, Donna. It's all right."Donna said "No, I won't let them." The Empress ordered "At arms!" The robots point their guns at the Doctor. Rose said "Ah, now. Except." The Empress "Take aim!" The Doctor said "Well, I just want to point out the obvious." The Empress said "They won't hit the bride. They're such very good shots." Rose said Just, just, just, just, just hold on. Hold on just a tick. Just a tiny little, just a little tick. If you think about it, the particles activated in Donna and drew her inside our spaceship. So reverse it, and the spaceship comes to her."Rose telepathically tells her husband Theta take the Huon container and turn the knob. The Doctor picks up and turns the knob on the Huon container. The Empress ordered "Fire!"
In the Tardis The Doctor and Rose's Tardis builds itself like smoke around Donna and the Doctor and Rose. The Doctor and Rose said "Off we go."
At the Drilling site The Empress Exclaimed "My key! My key!"The Tardis dematerialises.
In the Tardis The Doctor said "Oh, do you know what I said before about time machines? Well, I lied. And now we're going to use it. We need to find out what the Empress of the Racnoss is digging up. If something's buried at the planet's core, it must've been there since the beginning. That's just brilliant. Molto bene. we've always wanted to see this. Donna, we're going further back than I've ever been before."
Back at the Drilling site The Empress said "If a key is lost, then another must be cut. At arms!" The robots turn their guns onto Lance.
Back in the Tardis Rose said "We've arrived. Want to see?" Donna said "I suppose." The Doctor said "Oh, that scanner's a bit small. Maybe your way's best." Rose goes to the door. The Doctor said "Come on. No human's ever seen this. You'll be the first." Donna complained and muttered as she said "All I want to see is my bed." Rose said " Donna Noble, welcome to the creation of the Earth." the two gallifreyans and Donna start watching the creation of Sol3 (Earth) in the galaxy Mutter's spiral according to Time lords but to humans it's called the Milky of rock floating around a dust covered sun. The Doctor said "We've gone back four point six billion years." Rose explained "There's no solar system, not yet. Only dust and rocks and gas. That's the Sun, over there. Brand new. Just beginning to burn." Donna asked "Where's the Earth?" The Doctor said "All around us in the dust." Donna said "Puts the wedding in perspective. Lance was right. We're just tiny." Rose said "No, but that's what you do. The human race makes sense out of chaos. Marking it out with weddings and Christmas and calendars. This whole process is beautiful, but only if it's being observed." Donna asked "So I came out of all this?" The Doctor asked her "Isn't that brilliant?" A large rock drifts past. DONNA said jokingly "I think that's the Isle of Wight."
Rose said "Eventually, gravity takes hold. Say, one big rock, heavier than the others, starts to pull other rocks towards it. All the dust and gas and elements get pulled in. Everything, piling in until you get." Donna said "The Earth." The Doctor and Rose asked in unison "But the question is, what was that first rock?" A seven pointed star spaceship comes out of the dust cloud.
Donna told both the time lord and Time Lady "Look."
Rose and The Doctor breathed "The Racnoss."
Back at the Drilling site
The Empress was poisoning Lance with Huon particles and the Empress said "My wonderful key. Now, my servants, bind him." Lance starts to glow gold.
The Tardis is throwing The Doctor,Rose and Donna about. Donna asks "What the hell's it doing?" Rose said "Remember that little trick of ours, particles pulling particles. Well, it works in reverse. They're pulling us back!" Donna asks the Doctor and Rose "Well, can't you stop it? Hasn't it got a handbrake? Can't you reverse or warp or beam or something?" Rose said as she got out the Extrapolator. "Backseat driver. Oh! Wait a minute! The extrapolator!" The surfboard device from Boom Town and the beginning of The Parting of the ways. The Doctor and Rose said "It can't stop us, but it should give us a good bump!"
Back at the Drilling site Lance is ensnared in web when the Tardis appears.
The Empress said "The bride shall join her groom. What a wedding there shall be."
In The Tardis Rose exclaimed as she hit the extrapolator with a hammer "Now!" The Tardis dematerialises.
Lower basement corridor The Doctor said "We're about two hundred yards to the right. Come on!"
Back at the Drilling site The Emperess said "She is close, the holy bride in white. Find her. Find her!"
Lower basement corridor Donna asked But what do we do? Rose said "we don't know. The doctor will make it up as we go along. But trust me, he's got a history." The Doctor exclaimed at his wife "OI!" The Doctor uses a stethoscope on the Torchwood door. Donna asks them "But I still don't understand. I'm full of particles, but what for?" Rose said "There's a Racnoss web at the centre of the Earth, but my people unravelled their power source. The Huon particles ceased to exist but the Racnoss were stuck." Both Time lords don't notice robot grabbed Donna from behind. The Doctor said "They've just taken hibernation for billions of years. Frozen, dead, kaput. So you're the new key. Brand new particles, living particles! They need you to open it and you have never been so quiet."
Both The Doctor and Rose realises that she is gone. The Doctor and Rose said in unison "Oh!"
Rose sonics the door open to reveal a robot pointing a gun at both her and The Doctor.
Back at the Drilling site Donna is ensnared in the web, next to Lance, directly over the hole. Donna said "I hate you." Lance said "Yeah, I think we've gone a bit beyond that now, sweetheart."The Empress said "My golden couple, together at last. Your awful wedded life. Tell me, do you want to be released?" Both Donna and Lance said "Yes!"The Empress Told Them "You're supposed to say, I do." Lance said "Huh. No chance." The Empress ordered "Say it!" Lance said "I do."Donna said "I do." The Empress said and ordered "I don't. Activate the particles. Purge every last one. Both Donna and Lance glow. The Empress said "And release!" The Huon particles zoom straight down into the hole so kindly dug by Torchwood. The Empress said "The secret heart unlocks, and they will waken from their Sleep of Ages." Donna asked "Who will? What's down there?" Lance said "How thick are you?" The Empress said "My children, the long lost Racnoss, now reborn to feast on flesh! The web star shall come to me." The spaceship starts to move towards the Earth as lots of somethings start to climb up the hole. The Empress said "My babies will be hungry. They need sustenance. Perish the web." Lase shouted "Use her, not me! Use her!" The Empress said "Oh, my funny little Lance! But you are quite impolite to your lady friend. The Empress does not approve."The web releases Lance, and he falls into the exclaimed "Lance!"
In London The spaceship comes down over the city, shining like a star. A little girl said "It's Christmas!"
At the Drilling site The Empress said "Harvest the humans! Reduce them to meat." Energy lances out from the spaceship's lower four arms, wreaking havoc in the streets. The little girl screams as one beam cuts through the road until someone snatches her out of its way. The Empress said "My children are climbing towards me and none shall stop them."
Two robots walks up the steps. The Empress said "So you might as well unmask, my clever little doctor man and Wolf girl." The Doctor removes the robot mask and robe. The Doctor and Rose said "Oh well. Nice try." The Doctor said "I've got you, Donna!"He points his sonic screwdriver at Donna, and the web starts to give said "I'm going to fall!" The Doctor said "You're going to swing! I've got you!" Screaming, Donna swings across the hole, past the Empress and stops underneath the landing where the Doctor is standing. The strand of web was just six feet too long. She drops to the ground with a clang. The Doctor apologized "Oh. Sorry." Donna said "Thanks for nothing."The Empress said "the The doctor man amuses me." Rose said "Me too." Donna thought Rose couldn't be more than 19 and The Doctor to be more than 28 they both look like they have lived for centuries Both The Doctor and Rose said in unison "Empress of the Racnoss, we both give you one last chance. We both can find you a planet. We both can find you and your children a place in the universe to co-exist. Take that offer and end this now. The Empress said "The Doctor and Wolf are so funny." The Doctor and Rose asked "What's your answer?" The Empress told the two time lords "Oh I'm afraid I have to decline." The Doctor and Rose said "What happens next is your own doing." The Empress said "I'll show you what happens next. At arms! Take aim! And" Rose and the Doctor said "Relax." The robots slump. Donna asked The Doctor and Rose "What did you two do?"
Rose said "Guess what I've got, Donna?" They both pull out a robot remote control. From their pockets Rose said "Pockets." Donna asked her "How did that fit in there?" Rose said "They're bigger on the inside of course." The Empress told them "Roboforms are not necessary. My children may feast on Martian flesh." The Doctor informed her "Oh, but we're not from Mars." The Empress asked "Then where?" The Doctor and Rose said "Our home planet is far away and long since gone. But its name lives on. Gallifrey." The Empress told them "They murdered the Racnoss!" The Doctor and Rose tells her "we warned you. You did this. This was your own doing." They both takes some Christmas tree decorations from another pocket.
The Empress exclaimed scared "No! No! Don't! No!" The Doctor and Rose throws the baubles into the air then uses the remote to direct them. They boe use some to blow holes in the corridor wall to let the Thames in, whilst the rest surround the Empress. Fires break out, and manhole covers burst under the pressure. Water comes flooding into the lair and down the hole. Alien screams come Empress wailing "No! No! My children! No! My children! My children!" Donna told the Doctor and Rose "Doctor!,Wolf You both can stop now!" The Empress was still wailing "My children!" The Doctor said "Come on. Time we got you out."
Soaked to the skin, the Doctor,Rose and Donna head up the stairs.
The EMPRESS said "Transport me!"
In the Empress' Spaceship The Empress is beamed up. The Empress said "Oh, they will suffer! So suffer! This planet shall be scorched!"
Ladder Donna asked The Doctor and Rose "But what about the Empress?"
The Doctor And Rose told her "She's used up all her Huon energy. She's defenceless!"
In London An army tank rumbles down a street, then aims its turret at the spaceship. A Commander said to a soldier "Orders from Mister Saxon (The Master) Fire at will!"
The Soldier shouted "Fire!" Missiles pound the spaceship, which falls to pieces then explodes over Canary Wharf.
At Thames Barrier
The Doctor, Rose and Donna stand on gate 8. Donna said "Just there's one problem." The Doctor asked "What is that?" Donna told both Gallifreyans "We've drained the Thames." Rose said "Fantastic!"
Outside the Nobles' home The Tardis is parked across the road. The Doctor said "There we go. Told you she'd be all right. She can survive anything." Donna said "More than I've done." Rose gives her a quick sonic scan. Rose said "No, all the Huon particles have gone. No damage, you're fine." Donna said "Yeah, but apart from that, I missed my wedding, lost my job and became a widow on the same day. Sort of." Rose said "We couldn't save him." Donna said "He deserved it." She then felt sympathy for Lance "No, he didn't. I'd better get inside. They'll be worried."The Doctor and Rose said in unison "Best Christmas present they could have." Sylvia and Geoff hug each other. The Doctor and Rose said "Oh, no. We forgot you hate Christmas." Donna told them "Yes, I do." Rose asked "Even if it snows?" Rose makes the Tardis lamp turn yellow and fire off a bolt of energy into the sky. Instant snow shower. Donna told Rose I can't believe you did that! The Doctor and Rose told her "Oh, basic atmospheric excitation." Donna told both "Merry Christmas."The Doctor asked her "And you. So, what will you do with yourself now?" Donna said "Not getting married, for starters. And I'm not going to temp anymore. I don't know. Travel. See a bit more of planet Earth. Walk in the dust. Just go out there and do something."Rose said "Well, you could always" Donna asked her "What?"Doctor said "Come with us."Donna said "No." The Doctor and Rose looked disappointed The Doctor "Okay." Donna said "I can't." Rose said "No, that's fine." Donna said "No, but really. Everything we did today. Do you both live your life like that?"The Doctor and Rose said in unison "Not all the time."Donna said "I think you both do. And I couldn't." Rose said "But you've seen it out there. It's beautiful."Donna told both of them "And it's terrible. That place was flooding and burning and they were dying, and you both were stood there like, I don't know, strangers. And then you,Wolf made it snow. I mean, you scare me to death. The Doctor and Rose said "Right." Donna said "Tell you what I will do, though. Christmas dinner. Oh, come on." The Doctor look at his wife and Rose who tells him No,we don't do that sort of thing anymore. in his mind. "We don't do that sort of thing.Donna told them "You did it last year. You said so. And you might as well, because Mum always cooks enough for twenty." The Doctor said "Oh, all right then. But you go first. Better warn them. And don't say we're Martians. I just have to park her properly. She might drift off to the Middle Ages. we'll see you in a minute." The Doctor and Rose goes into the Tardis, and the engines start up. Donna shouted for The Doctor and Rose "Doctor! Wolf!" The Doctor told her "Blimey, you can shout." Donna asks him "Am I ever going to see you and Wolf again?" The Doctor said If we're lucky."Donna said "Just promise me one thing. Find someone." The Doctor said "we don't need anyone." Donna told him "Yes, you both do. Because sometimes, I think you both need someone to stop you both." The Doctor said "Yeah. Thanks then, Donna. Good luck. And just be magnificent." Donna told him "I think I will, yeah. Doctor?" The Doctor said "Oh, what is it now?" Donna asked him "Your wife's family member The one she lost who was she and what was the person's name?" The Doctor said "The family member was her mum and name was Jackie." The Tardis starts to dematerialise, then shoots straight up into the sky before vanishing. In the Tardis Rose asks The Doctor "Honey,do you want to have some fun?" The Doctor said I'm Right behind you" after putting their Tardis in Vortex.
