1. Sneed and Company offer
their sincerest condolences, sir,
in this most trying hour.Copy !req
2. Grandmama had a good innings,
Mr Sneed.Copy !req
3. She was so full of life,Copy !req
4. I can't believe she's gone.Copy !req
5. Not gone, Mr Redpath, sir.Copy !req
6. Merely sleeping.Copy !req
7. May I have a moment?Copy !req
8. Yes, of course.Copy !req
9. I shall be in the next, er, room
should you require anything.Copy !req
10. HE CHOKESCopy !req
11. Oh, no!Copy !req
12. No!Copy !req
13. Gwyneth!Copy !req
14. Get down here now!
We've got another one!Copy !req
15. GHOULISH MOANSCopy !req
16. Hold that one down!
I'm holding this one down!Copy !req
17. Well, hold them both down!
It's not gonna work.Copy !req
18. Oi! I promised you a time machine!Copy !req
19. Now you've seen the future,
let's have a look at the past...
How does 1860 sound?Copy !req
20. What happened in 1860?Copy !req
21. Let's find out!
Hold on... here we go!Copy !req
22. Gwyneth!Copy !req
23. Where are you, girl?Copy !req
24. Gwyneth!Copy !req
25. Where've you been? I was shouting.Copy !req
26. Been in the stable
breaking the ice for Samson.Copy !req
27. Well, get back in there
and harness him up!Copy !req
28. Whatever for, sir?Copy !req
29. The stiffs are getting lively again.
Mr Redpath's grandmother,
she's is up there on her feet,Copy !req
30. and out there somewhere, on the
streets, we've got to find her.Copy !req
31. Mr Sneed, for shame,
how many more times? It's ungodly!Copy !req
32. Don't look at me like it's MY fault.
Now come on, hurry up, she was 86,
she can't have got far!Copy !req
33. What about Mr Redpath?
Did you deal with him?Copy !req
34. No.Copy !req
35. SHE did.Copy !req
36. That's awful, sir.Copy !req
37. I know it's not my place,
and please forgive me for
talking out of turn, sir,Copy !req
38. but this is getting beyond now.Copy !req
39. Something terrible is
happening in this house
and we've got to get help.Copy !req
40. And we will, as soon as
I've got that dead old woman
locked up and safe and sound.Copy !req
41. Now, stop prevaricating, girl.Copy !req
42. Get the hearse ready.
We're going bodysnatching.Copy !req
43. WHOOSH OF THE TARDISCopy !req
44. Blimey! Telling me! You all right?Copy !req
45. Yeah, I think so. Nothing broken.Copy !req
46. Did we make it? Where are we?Copy !req
47. I did it! Give the man a medal.
Earth, Naples, December 24th, 1860.Copy !req
48. That's so weird. It's Christmas.Copy !req
49. All yours.Copy !req
50. But it's like...Copy !req
51. Think about it, though.Copy !req
52. Christmas 1860 happens once,
just once, and then it's...Copy !req
53. gone, it's finished,
it'll never happen again.Copy !req
54. Except for you.Copy !req
55. You can go back and see
days that are dead and gone.Copy !req
56. A hundred thousand sunsets ago.Copy !req
57. No wonder you never stay still.Copy !req
58. Not a bad life.Copy !req
59. Better with two.Copy !req
60. Come on then! Oi, oi, oi!Copy !req
61. Where d'you think you're going?
1860.Copy !req
62. Dressed like that,
you'll start a riot, Barbarella.Copy !req
63. There's a wardrobe through there,
1st left, 2nd right,Copy !req
64. under the stairs, past the bins,
on your left. Hurry up!Copy !req
65. Not a sign.Copy !req
66. Where is she?Copy !req
67. She's vanished into the ether, sir.
Where can she be?Copy !req
68. You tell me, girl. What do you mean?Copy !req
69. Gwyneth, you know full well.Copy !req
70. No, sir, I can't. Use the sight.Copy !req
71. It's not right, sir. Find the
old lady or you're dismissed.Copy !req
72. Now.Copy !req
73. Look inside, girl.Copy !req
74. Look deep.Copy !req
75. Where is she?Copy !req
76. She's lost, sir.Copy !req
77. She's so alone.Copy !req
78. Oh, my Lord.
So many strange things in her head.Copy !req
79. But where?Copy !req
80. She was excited.Copy !req
81. About tonight.Copy !req
82. Before she passed on,
she was going to see him.Copy !req
83. Who's him? The great man.Copy !req
84. All the way from London,
the great, great man.Copy !req
85. Mr Dickens? Mr Dickens?Copy !req
86. Excuse me, sir,
Mr Dickens, this is your call.Copy !req
87. Are you quite well, sir?Copy !req
88. Splendid. Splendid. Sorry!Copy !req
89. Time you were on, sir.Copy !req
90. Absolutely.Copy !req
91. I was just brooding...Copy !req
92. Christmas Eve.Copy !req
93. Not the best of times to be alone.Copy !req
94. Did no-one travel with you, sir?
No lady wife waiting out front?Copy !req
95. I'm afraid not.Copy !req
96. You can have mine if you want.Copy !req
97. Oh, I wouldn't dare.Copy !req
98. I've, I've been rather...
let's say, clumsy,Copy !req
99. with family matters.Copy !req
100. Thank God I'm
too old to cause any more trouble.Copy !req
101. You speak as if it's all over, sir.
Oh, it's never over!Copy !req
102. On and on I go.Copy !req
103. The same old show.Copy !req
104. I'm like a ghost, condemned to repeat
myself through all eternity.Copy !req
105. It's never too late, sir, you could
always think up some new turns.Copy !req
106. No, I can't.Copy !req
107. Even MY imagination grows stale.Copy !req
108. I'm an old man, perhaps I've thought
everything I will ever think.Copy !req
109. Still. The lure of the limelight's
as potent as a pipe, eh?Copy !req
110. On with the motley.Copy !req
111. Blimey. Don't laugh.Copy !req
112. You look beautiful.Copy !req
113. Considering.Copy !req
114. Considering what?Copy !req
115. That you're human.Copy !req
116. I think that's a compliment.
Aren't you gonna change?Copy !req
117. I've changed my jumper! Come on.Copy !req
118. You stay there,
you've done this before.Copy !req
119. This is mine.Copy !req
120. Ready for this?Copy !req
121. Here we go.Copy !req
122. History.Copy !req
123. She's in there, sir,
I'm certain of it.Copy !req
124. Right.Copy !req
125. I got the flight a bit wrong.Copy !req
126. I don't care.
It's not 1860, it's 1869.Copy !req
127. I don't care. And it's not Naples.Copy !req
128. I don't care. It's Cardiff.Copy !req
129. Right.Copy !req
130. Now, it is a fact
that there was nothing particular
at all about the knockerCopy !req
131. on the door of this house but,
let any man explain to me,Copy !req
132. if he can, how it happened
that Scrooge, having his key
in the lock of the door,Copy !req
133. saw in the knocker,
without its undergoing
any intermediate process of change,Copy !req
134. not a knocker, but Marley's face!Copy !req
135. MURMURS OF SURPRISECopy !req
136. Marley's face!Copy !req
137. It looked at ScroogeCopy !req
138. as Marley used to look.Copy !req
139. It looked like...Copy !req
140. .. Oh, my Lord...Copy !req
141. it looked... like that!Copy !req
142. What phantasmagoria is this?Copy !req
143. That's more like it.Copy !req
144. Stay in your seats, I, I beg you!Copy !req
145. It is a lantern show, trickery!Copy !req
146. There she is, sir!Copy !req
147. I can see that!Copy !req
148. Whole bloomin' world can see that!Copy !req
149. POLICE WHISTLESCopy !req
150. Fantastic!Copy !req
151. Did you see where it came from?
Ah! The wag reveals himself, does he?Copy !req
152. I trust you're satisfied, sir!Copy !req
153. Oi! Leave her alone.Copy !req
154. Doctor! I'll get them. Be careful!Copy !req
155. Did it say anything? Can it speak?
I'm the Doctor, by the way.Copy !req
156. Doctor? You look more like a navvy.Copy !req
157. What's wrong with this jumper?Copy !req
158. What are you doing?
A tragedy, miss.Copy !req
159. Don't worry yourself,
me and the master'll deal with it.Copy !req
160. Fact is, this poor lady's been
taken with a brain-fever and we
have to get her to the infirmary.Copy !req
161. She's cold. She's dead.Copy !req
162. Oh, my God, what did you do to her?Copy !req
163. What did you do that for?Copy !req
164. She's seen too much!Copy !req
165. Get her in the hearse! Legs!Copy !req
166. Gas.Copy !req
167. It's made of gas.Copy !req
168. Rose! You're not escaping me, sir!Copy !req
169. What do you know about
that hob-goblin?Copy !req
170. Projection on glass, I suppose.
Who put you up to it?Copy !req
171. Yeah, mate, not now, thanks.Copy !req
172. Oi! You! Follow that hearse!Copy !req
173. Can't do that, sir. Why not?Copy !req
174. I'll give you a very good reason
why not. Because this is my coach.Copy !req
175. Well, get in, then!Copy !req
176. Move!Copy !req
177. You're losing them!
Everything in order, Mr Dickens?Copy !req
178. No, it is not! What did he say?Copy !req
179. I am not without a sense of humour...Copy !req
180. Dickens? Yes. Charles Dickens?Copy !req
181. Yes! THE Charles Dickens?
Should I remove the gentleman, sir?Copy !req
182. You're brilliant, you are!
Completely, 100% brilliant!
I've read 'em all!Copy !req
183. Great Expectations, Oliver Twist
and what's the one with the ghost?
Christmas Carol?Copy !req
184. No, the one with the trains.
The Signalman - terrifying!Copy !req
185. The best short story ever written!Copy !req
186. You're a genius. Do
you want me to get rid of him, sir?Copy !req
187. Er, no, I think he can stay.Copy !req
188. Honestly, Charles... er, can I call
you Charles? I'm such a big fan.Copy !req
189. Eh, you're a what? A big what?
Fan. Number one fan, that's me!Copy !req
190. How exactly are you a "fan"?Copy !req
191. In what way do you resemble
a means of keeping oneself cool?Copy !req
192. No, it means fanatic. Mind you, that
American bit in Martin Chuzzlewit,
what's that about?Copy !req
193. Was that just padding or what?
It's rubbish.
I thought you were my fan?Copy !req
194. Oh, well,
if you can't take criticism...Copy !req
195. Do the death of Little Nell.
It cracks me up. No! Sorry!Copy !req
196. Forget about that. Come on! Faster!Copy !req
197. Who exactly is in that hearse?Copy !req
198. My friend. She's only 19
and it's my fault. She's in
my care, now she's in danger.Copy !req
199. Why are we wasting my time
talking about dry old books?Copy !req
200. This is much more important. Driver!Copy !req
201. Be swift! The chase is on! Yes, sir!Copy !req
202. Attaboy, Charlie.
Nobody calls me Charlie.Copy !req
203. The ladies do. How do you know that?
I told you! I'm your number one...Copy !req
204. Number one fan.Copy !req
205. The poor girl's still alive, sir,
what are we going to do with her?Copy !req
206. I don't know!Copy !req
207. I didn't plan any of this, did I?Copy !req
208. Is it my fault
if the dead won't stay dead?Copy !req
209. Then whose fault is it, sir?Copy !req
210. Why is this happening to us?Copy !req
211. I did the Bishop a favour once.Copy !req
212. Made his nephew look like a cherub
even though he'd been
a fortnight in the weir.Copy !req
213. Hey, perhaps he'll do us
an exorcism on the cheap!Copy !req
214. Say I'm not in.
Tell 'em we're closed.Copy !req
215. Just, just, get rid of 'em.Copy !req
216. I'm sorry sir, we're closed.
Nonsense, since when did
an undertaker keep office hours?Copy !req
217. The dead don't die on schedule,
I demand to see your master.Copy !req
218. He's not in, sir.Copy !req
219. Don't lie to me, child,
summon the master!Copy !req
220. I'm awfully sorry, Mr Dickens,
but the master is indisposed.Copy !req
221. Having trouble with your gas?Copy !req
222. What the Shakespeare is going on?Copy !req
223. Are you all right?Copy !req
224. You're kidding me, yeah?
You're just kidding.Copy !req
225. You are kidding me, aren't you?Copy !req
226. OK, not kidding.Copy !req
227. You're not allowed inside, sir.
There's something inside the walls.Copy !req
228. The gas pipes.Copy !req
229. Something's living inside the gas.Copy !req
230. Let me out! Open the door!Copy !req
231. That's her! Please, let me out!Copy !req
232. How dare you, sir! This is my house.Copy !req
233. I told you...
Let me out, somebody open the door!Copy !req
234. Open the door!Copy !req
235. I think this is my dance.Copy !req
236. It's a prank. Must be.
We're under some mesmeric influence.Copy !req
237. No, the dead are walking.Copy !req
238. Hi. Hi. Who's your friend?Copy !req
239. Charles Dickens.Copy !req
240. OK. My name's the Doctor.
Who are you, then? What do you want?Copy !req
241. Failing! Open the rift. We're dying.Copy !req
242. Trapped in this form.Copy !req
243. Cannot sustain. Help us.Copy !req
244. First you drug me,
then you kidnap me, and don't think
I didn't feel your handsCopy !req
245. having a wander, you dirty old man.
I won't be spoken to like this.Copy !req
246. Then you sent me
in a room full of zombies!Copy !req
247. And if that ain't enough,
you swan off and leave me to die!
So come on! Talk!Copy !req
248. It's not my fault, it's this house!Copy !req
249. It always had a reputation.Copy !req
250. Haunted.Copy !req
251. But I never had much bother,
until about three months back.
And then the stiffs...Copy !req
252. The, erm...Copy !req
253. the dear departed
started getting restless.Copy !req
254. Tommyrot!Copy !req
255. You witnessed it!Copy !req
256. Can't keep the beggars down, sir.Copy !req
257. They walk.Copy !req
258. And it's the queerest thing,
but they hang onto scraps...Copy !req
259. Two sugars, sir,
just how you like it.Copy !req
260. One old fella, used to be a sexton,
almost walked into his own
memorial service.Copy !req
261. Just like the old lady,
going to your performance, sir,
just as she'd planned.Copy !req
262. Morbid fancy.Copy !req
263. Oh, Charles, you were there.
I saw nothing but an illusion.Copy !req
264. If you're going to deny it,
don't waste my time, just shut up.Copy !req
265. What about the gas? That's new, sir.
I never seen anything like that.Copy !req
266. Means it's getting stronger.
The rift's getting wider,
and something's sneaking through.Copy !req
267. What's the rift?
A weak point in time and space.Copy !req
268. A connection between
this place and another.Copy !req
269. That's the cause of ghost stories,
most of the time.Copy !req
270. That's how I got the house so cheap,
stories going back generations.Copy !req
271. Echoes in the dark.
Queer songs in the air.Copy !req
272. And this feeling, like a shadowCopy !req
273. passing over your soul.Copy !req
274. Mind you, truth be told,
it's been good for business,Copy !req
275. just what people expect from
a gloomy old trade like mine.Copy !req
276. Impossible!Copy !req
277. Checking for strings?Copy !req
278. Wires... perhaps.Copy !req
279. There must be some
mechanism behind this fraud.Copy !req
280. Oh, come on, Charles.Copy !req
281. All right, I shouldn't have
told you to shut up. I'm sorry.Copy !req
282. But you've got one of the best minds
in the world and you saw those gas
creatures. I cannot accept that.Copy !req
283. And what does the human body do,
when it decomposes? It breaks down.
Produces gas.Copy !req
284. Perfect home for these gas-things,
they can slip inside,
use it as a vehicle.Copy !req
285. Just like your driver and his coach.
Stop it!Copy !req
286. Can it be that I have the world
entirely wrong?Copy !req
287. Not wrong. There's just more
to learn.Copy !req
288. I've always
railed against the fantasists!Copy !req
289. Oh, I loved an illusion -
revelled in them, but that's
exactly what they were, illusions.Copy !req
290. The real world is something else.Copy !req
291. I dedicated myself to that -
injustices,Copy !req
292. the great social causes.Copy !req
293. I hoped that I was a force for good.Copy !req
294. Now, you tell me
that the real worldCopy !req
295. is a realm of spectres
and jack o'lanterns.Copy !req
296. In which case...Copy !req
297. have I wasted my brief span here,
Doctor?Copy !req
298. Has it all been for nothing?Copy !req
299. Please, miss, you shouldn't
be helping, it's not right.Copy !req
300. Don't be daft, I bet
Sneed works you to death.Copy !req
301. How much do you get paid?Copy !req
302. Eight pound a year, miss.
How much? I know!Copy !req
303. I would've been happy with six.Copy !req
304. So did you even go to school,
or what?Copy !req
305. Of course I did,
what do you think I am, an urchin?Copy !req
306. I went every Sunday,
nice and proper.Copy !req
307. What, once a week?Copy !req
308. We did sums and everything.Copy !req
309. To be honest,Copy !req
310. I hated every second. Me, too!Copy !req
311. Don't tell anyone...Copy !req
312. but one week I didn't go and I ran
down the Heath, all on my own.Copy !req
313. I did plenty of that,
I used to go round
the shops with my mate, Shareen.Copy !req
314. And we used to go and look at boys.Copy !req
315. Well, I don't know
much about that, miss.Copy !req
316. Oh, come on,
times haven't changed that much.Copy !req
317. I bet you've done the same.
I don't think so, miss.Copy !req
318. Gwyneth, you can tell me.Copy !req
319. I bet you've got
your eye on someone.Copy !req
320. I suppose, there is one lad.Copy !req
321. The butcher's boy,
he comes by every Tuesday.Copy !req
322. Such a lovely smile on him.Copy !req
323. I like a nice smile.Copy !req
324. Good smile, nice bum.Copy !req
325. Well, I have never heard the like!Copy !req
326. Ask him out. Give him a cup of
tea or something, that's a start.Copy !req
327. I swear,
it's the strangest thing, miss.Copy !req
328. You've got all the clothes
and the breeding. But you talk
like some sort of wild thing.Copy !req
329. Maybe I am.Copy !req
330. Maybe that's a good thing.Copy !req
331. You need a bit more
in your life than Mr Sneed.Copy !req
332. Oh, now, that's not fair.Copy !req
333. He's not so bad, old Sneed.Copy !req
334. He was very kind to me to take
me in, cos I lost my mam and
dad to the 'flu when I was 12.Copy !req
335. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
336. Thank you, miss. But I'll
be with them again, one day.Copy !req
337. Sitting with them in Paradise.Copy !req
338. I shall be so blessed.Copy !req
339. They're waiting for me.Copy !req
340. Maybe your dad's up there
waiting for you too, miss.Copy !req
341. Maybe.Copy !req
342. Um, who told you he was dead?Copy !req
343. I dunno, must've been the Doctor.Copy !req
344. My father died years back.Copy !req
345. You've been thinking about
him lately. More than ever.Copy !req
346. Suppose so.Copy !req
347. How do you know all this?Copy !req
348. Mr Sneed says I think too much,Copy !req
349. I'm all alone down here.Copy !req
350. I bet you've got dozens of servants.Copy !req
351. No, no servants where I'm from.Copy !req
352. And you've come such a long way.Copy !req
353. What makes you think so?Copy !req
354. You're from London.Copy !req
355. I've seen London in drawings,
but never like that,Copy !req
356. all those people rushing about.Copy !req
357. Half-naked, for shame.Copy !req
358. And the noise...Copy !req
359. and the metal boxes racing past...Copy !req
360. and the birds in the sky!
No, no, they're metal as well.Copy !req
361. Metal birds with people in them.Copy !req
362. People are flying.Copy !req
363. And you. You've flown so far.Copy !req
364. Further than anyone.Copy !req
365. The things you've seen.Copy !req
366. The darkness.Copy !req
367. The big bad wolf.Copy !req
368. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, miss.
It's all right. I can't help it.Copy !req
369. Ever since I was a little girl,
my mam said I had the sight.Copy !req
370. She told me to hide it.
But it's getting stronger.Copy !req
371. More powerful. Is that right?Copy !req
372. All the time, sir.Copy !req
373. Every night,Copy !req
374. voices in my head.Copy !req
375. You grew up on top of the rift.
You're part of it.Copy !req
376. You're the key.
I've tried to make sense of it, sir.Copy !req
377. Consulted with...Copy !req
378. spiritualists, table-rappers,
all sorts. Well, that should help.Copy !req
379. You can show us what to do.Copy !req
380. What to do where, sir?Copy !req
381. We're going to have a seance.Copy !req
382. This is how Madame Mortlock summons
those from the land of mists,
down in Butetown.Copy !req
383. Come. We must all join hands.
I can't take part in this.Copy !req
384. Humbug? Come on. Open mind.Copy !req
385. This is precisely the sort of cheap
mummery I strive to unmask.Copy !req
386. Seances!Copy !req
387. Nothing but luminous tambourines
and a squeeze-box concealed between
the knees. This girl knows nothing!Copy !req
388. Now, don't antagonise her.Copy !req
389. I love a happy medium.Copy !req
390. I can't believe you just said that.Copy !req
391. Come on. We might need you.Copy !req
392. Good man.Copy !req
393. Now, Gwyneth.Copy !req
394. Reach out.Copy !req
395. Speak to us.Copy !req
396. Are you there?Copy !req
397. Spirits, come.Copy !req
398. Speak to us
that we may relieve your burden.Copy !req
399. DISTANT DISTORTED VOICESCopy !req
400. Can you hear that?Copy !req
401. Nothing can happen,
this is sheer folly. Look at her.Copy !req
402. I see them!Copy !req
403. I feel them!Copy !req
404. What's it saying?
It can't get through the rift.Copy !req
405. Gwyneth, it's not controlling you,
you're controlling it.Copy !req
406. Now look deep. Allow them through.
I can't.Copy !req
407. Yes, you can. Just believe it.
I have faith in you, Gwyneth.Copy !req
408. Make the link.Copy !req
409. Yes!Copy !req
410. Great God!Copy !req
411. Spirits from the other side!Copy !req
412. The other side of the universe.Copy !req
413. Pity us!Copy !req
414. Pity the Gelth!Copy !req
415. There is so little time. Help us!Copy !req
416. What do you want us to do? The rift.Copy !req
417. Take the girl to the rift.Copy !req
418. Make the bridge. What for?Copy !req
419. We are so very few.Copy !req
420. The last of our kind.Copy !req
421. We face extinction!
Why, what happened?Copy !req
422. Once we had
a physical form, like you.Copy !req
423. But then the War came.Copy !req
424. - War? What war?
- The Time War.Copy !req
425. The whole universe convulsed.Copy !req
426. The Time War raged,
invisible to smaller species
but devastating to higher forms.Copy !req
427. Our bodies wasted away.Copy !req
428. We're trapped in this gaseous state.Copy !req
429. So that's why you need the corpses.Copy !req
430. We want to stand tall.Copy !req
431. To feel the sunlight.Copy !req
432. To live again.Copy !req
433. We need a physical form
and your dead are abandoned.Copy !req
434. They go to waste. Give them to us.Copy !req
435. But we can't. Why not?Copy !req
436. It's not... I mean,Copy !req
437. it's not... Not decent? Not polite?
It could save their lives.Copy !req
438. Open the rift.Copy !req
439. Let the Gelth through.Copy !req
440. We're dying. Help us.Copy !req
441. Pity the Gelth!Copy !req
442. Gwyneth!Copy !req
443. All true.Copy !req
444. It's all true.Copy !req
445. It's all right. You just sleep.Copy !req
446. But my angels, miss!Copy !req
447. They came, didn't they?
They need me.Copy !req
448. Yes, Gwyneth.
You're their only chance of survivalCopy !req
449. I told you, leave her alone.Copy !req
450. She's exhausted
and she's not fighting your battles.Copy !req
451. Now, drink this.Copy !req
452. But what did you say, Doctor?
Explain it again.Copy !req
453. What are they? Aliens.Copy !req
454. Like, foreigners, you mean?Copy !req
455. Pretty foreign, yeah. From up there.Copy !req
456. Brecon? Close. And they've been
trying to get through from Brecon
to Cardiff but the road's blocked.Copy !req
457. Only a few can get through. Even
then, they're weak. They can only
test-drive the bodies for so long.Copy !req
458. Then they have to revert to
gas and hide in the pipes.Copy !req
459. Which is why they need the girl?Copy !req
460. They're not having her.
But she can help.Copy !req
461. Living on the rift she's become
part of it. She can open it up,
make a bridge and let them through.Copy !req
462. Incredible. Ghosts that are not
ghosts but beings from another world.Copy !req
463. Who can only exist
in our realm by inhabiting cadavers.Copy !req
464. Good system. It might work.Copy !req
465. You can't let them run
around inside of dead people!Copy !req
466. Why not? It's like recycling.Copy !req
467. Seriously though, you can't.
Seriously though, I can.Copy !req
468. But it's just wrong.Copy !req
469. Those bodies were living people. We
should respect them, even in death.Copy !req
470. Do you carry a donor card?Copy !req
471. It's different, that's...
It is different, yeah.Copy !req
472. It's a different morality.
Get used to it. Or go home.Copy !req
473. You heard what they said,
time's short.Copy !req
474. I can't worry about a few corpses
when the last
of the Gelth could be dying.Copy !req
475. I don't care, they're not using her.
Don't I get a say, miss?Copy !req
476. Well, yes... no.Copy !req
477. You don't understand what's going
on. You would say that, miss, cos
that's very clear inside your head.Copy !req
478. That you think I'm stupid.
That's not fair. It's true though.Copy !req
479. Things might be very different
where you're from, but here and now,
I know my own mind.Copy !req
480. And the angels need me.Copy !req
481. Doctor? What do I have to do?Copy !req
482. You don't HAVE to do anything.
They've been singing to me
since I was a child.Copy !req
483. Sent by my mam on holy mission,Copy !req
484. so tell me.Copy !req
485. We need to find the rift.Copy !req
486. This house is on a weak-spot,
so there must be a spot
that's weaker than any other.Copy !req
487. Mr Sneed, what's the weakest
part of this house?Copy !req
488. The place where
most of the ghosts have been seen?Copy !req
489. That would be the morgue.Copy !req
490. No chance you were going
to say gazebo, is there?Copy !req
491. Huh!Copy !req
492. Talk about bleak house.Copy !req
493. The thing is, Doctor,
the Gelth don't succeed,
cos I know they don't.Copy !req
494. I know for a fact that corpses
weren't walking round in 1869.Copy !req
495. Time's in flux, changing every
second. Your cosy little
world could be rewritten like that.Copy !req
496. Nothing is safe. Remember that.Copy !req
497. Nothing. Doctor,
I think the room is getting colder.Copy !req
498. Here they come. You've come to help!Copy !req
499. Praise the Doctor! Praise him.Copy !req
500. Promise you won't hurt her.Copy !req
501. Hurry! Please! So little time.
Pity the Gelth!Copy !req
502. I'll take you somewhere else
after the transfer.Copy !req
503. Somewhere you can build
proper bodies.Copy !req
504. This isn't a permanent solution,
all right?Copy !req
505. My angels! I can help them live.Copy !req
506. OK, where's the weak point?
Here, beneath the arch!Copy !req
507. Beneath the arch.Copy !req
508. You don't have to do this.Copy !req
509. My angels. Establish the bridge!
Reach out to the void.
Let us through!Copy !req
510. Yes!Copy !req
511. I can see you.Copy !req
512. I can see you! Come!Copy !req
513. Bridgehead establishing. Come to me.Copy !req
514. Come to this world. Poor lost souls.Copy !req
515. It has begun! The bridge is made.Copy !req
516. She has given herself
to the Gelth!Copy !req
517. Rather a lot of them, eh?Copy !req
518. The bridge is open. We descend.Copy !req
519. The Gelth will
come through in force.Copy !req
520. You said
that you were few in number!Copy !req
521. A few billion!
And all of us in need of corpses!Copy !req
522. Now, Gwyneth,Copy !req
523. stop this.Copy !req
524. Listen to your master!Copy !req
525. This has gone far enough,
stop dabbling, child, and leave
these things alone, I beg of you.Copy !req
526. Mr Sneed, get back! Don't go near.Copy !req
527. I think it's going
a little bit wrong.Copy !req
528. I have joined the legions
of the Gelth.Copy !req
529. - Come, march with us.
- Oh, Glory!Copy !req
530. We need bodies. All of you, dead.Copy !req
531. The human race, dead.Copy !req
532. Gwyneth, stop them!
Send them back, now!Copy !req
533. Three more bodies! Convert them!Copy !req
534. Make them vessels for the Gelth!Copy !req
535. Doctor, I can't! I'm sorry.Copy !req
536. This new world of yours,
it's too much for me.Copy !req
537. I'm so...Copy !req
538. Give yourself to glory.Copy !req
539. Sacrifice your lives to the Gelth.Copy !req
540. I trusted you. I pitied you!Copy !req
541. We don't want your pity! We want
this world and all its flesh.Copy !req
542. Not while I'm alive.Copy !req
543. Then live no more.Copy !req
544. But I can't die. Tell me I can't.Copy !req
545. I haven't even been born yet,
it's impossible for me to die.Copy !req
546. Isn't it?Copy !req
547. I'm sorry.Copy !req
548. Failing! Atmosphere hostile!Copy !req
549. Gas!Copy !req
550. The gas!Copy !req
551. But it's 1869, how can I die now?Copy !req
552. Time isn't a straight line,
it can twist into any shape.Copy !req
553. You can be born in the 20th century
and die in the 19th.Copy !req
554. And it's all my fault.Copy !req
555. I brought you here.Copy !req
556. It's not your fault.Copy !req
557. I wanted to come. What about me?Copy !req
558. I saw the fall of Troy.
World War Five.Copy !req
559. I pushed boxes
at the Boston Tea Party.Copy !req
560. Now I'm gonna die in a dungeon,Copy !req
561. in Cardiff!Copy !req
562. And it's not just dying.Copy !req
563. We're gonna become one of them.Copy !req
564. We'll go down fighting, yeah?Copy !req
565. Yeah. Together? Yeah.Copy !req
566. I'm so glad I met you.Copy !req
567. Me, too.Copy !req
568. Doctor! Doctor!Copy !req
569. Turn off the flame, turn up the gas.
Now fill the room! All of it, now.Copy !req
570. What are you doing? Turn it all on!Copy !req
571. Flood the place!Copy !req
572. Brilliant, gas!
What, so we choke to death instead?Copy !req
573. Am I correct, Doctor?Copy !req
574. These creatures are gaseous.Copy !req
575. Fill the room with gas. It'll draw
them out of the host, suck them into
the air, like poison from a wound.Copy !req
576. I hope...Copy !req
577. Oh, lord!Copy !req
578. I hope that this theory
will be validated... soon.Copy !req
579. If not immediately.Copy !req
580. Plenty more.Copy !req
581. It's working!Copy !req
582. Gwyneth, send them back.
They lied, they're not angels!Copy !req
583. Liars? Look at them!Copy !req
584. If your mother and father could look
down and see this,
they'd tell you the same.Copy !req
585. They'd give you the strength.
Now send them back!Copy !req
586. Can't breathe. Charles, get her out.Copy !req
587. I'm not leaving her.
They're too strong.Copy !req
588. Remember that world you saw?Copy !req
589. Rose's world? All those people.Copy !req
590. None of it will exist unless you
send them back through the rift!Copy !req
591. I can't send them back.Copy !req
592. But I can hold them.Copy !req
593. Hold them in this place.
Hold them here.Copy !req
594. Get out.Copy !req
595. You can't! Leave this place.Copy !req
596. Rose, get out, go now.Copy !req
597. I won't leave her while
she's still in danger. Now go!Copy !req
598. Come on. Leave that to me.Copy !req
599. I'm sorry.Copy !req
600. Thank you.Copy !req
601. She didn't make it.Copy !req
602. I'm sorry. She closed the rift.Copy !req
603. At such a cost.Copy !req
604. The poor child.Copy !req
605. I did try, Rose,
but Gwyneth was already dead.Copy !req
606. She had been for at least
five minutes. What do you mean?Copy !req
607. I think she was dead from
the minute she stood in that arch.Copy !req
608. But she can't have, she spoke to us,
she helped us, she saved us.Copy !req
609. How could she have done that?Copy !req
610. There are more things
in Heaven and Earth than
are dreamt of in your philosophy.Copy !req
611. Even for you, Doctor.Copy !req
612. She saved the world.Copy !req
613. A servant girl.Copy !req
614. And no-one will ever know.Copy !req
615. Right then, Charlie boy,
I've just got to go into my, erm...Copy !req
616. shed.Copy !req
617. Won't be long.Copy !req
618. What are you going to do now?Copy !req
619. I shall take the mail-coach back to
London, quite literally post-haste.Copy !req
620. This is no time for me
to be on my own.Copy !req
621. I shall spend Christmas with my
family and make amends to them.Copy !req
622. After all I've learnt tonight,
there can be nothing more vital.Copy !req
623. You've cheered up. Exceedingly!Copy !req
624. This morning, I thought I knew
everything in the world.Copy !req
625. Now I know I've just started.Copy !req
626. All these huge
and wonderful notions, Doctor!Copy !req
627. I am inspired,
I must write about them!Copy !req
628. Do you think that's wise?Copy !req
629. I shall be subtle, at first.Copy !req
630. The Mystery Of Edwin Drood
still lacks an ending.Copy !req
631. Perhaps the killer
was not the boy's uncle.Copy !req
632. Perhaps he was not of this earth!Copy !req
633. The Mystery Of Edwin Drood
And The Blue Elementals!Copy !req
634. I can spread the word,
tell the truth!Copy !req
635. Good luck with it.Copy !req
636. Nice to meet you, fantastic.Copy !req
637. Bye, then. And thanks.Copy !req
638. Oh, my dear!Copy !req
639. How modern.Copy !req
640. Thank you. But I don't understand,
in what way is this goodbye?Copy !req
641. Where are you going?
You'll see. In the shed.Copy !req
642. Upon my soul, Doctor, it's one
riddle after another with you.Copy !req
643. But after all these revelations,
there's one mystery
you still haven't explained.Copy !req
644. Answer me this.Copy !req
645. Who are you?Copy !req
646. Just a friend. Passing through.Copy !req
647. But you have such knowledge
of future times.Copy !req
648. I don't wish to impose on you
but I must ask you,Copy !req
649. my books... Doctor.Copy !req
650. Do they last? Oh, yes. For how long?Copy !req
651. Forever.Copy !req
652. Right.Copy !req
653. Shed. Come on, Rose.Copy !req
654. What? In the box?Copy !req
655. Both of you?Copy !req
656. Down, boy.Copy !req
657. See ya.Copy !req
658. Doesn't that change history,
if he writes about blue ghosts?Copy !req
659. In a week's time, it's 1870.Copy !req
660. And that's the year he dies. Sorry.Copy !req
661. He'll never get to tell his story.Copy !req
662. Oh, no. He was so nice.Copy !req
663. But in your time, he was already
dead. We've brought him back to lifeCopy !req
664. and he's more alive now than
he's ever been. Old Charlie Boy.Copy !req
665. Let's give him one last surprise.Copy !req
666. WHOOSH OF TARDIS DISAPPEARINGCopy !req
667. HE CHUCKLES TO HIMSELFCopy !req
668. Merry Christmas, sir.
Merry Christmas to you!Copy !req
669. God bless us.Copy !req
670. Every one.Copy !req
671. Big Ben destroyed as a UFO
crash lands in Central London.Copy !req
672. What is it then? Are they
invading? Funny way to invade,
putting the world on red alert.Copy !req
673. My God, I'll put this country
under marshal law if I have to.Copy !req
674. Defence part Delta!
Come on, move, move!Copy !req
675. Clear!Copy !req
