An Adventure in Space and Time Page #5

Thank you.

So, what do you make of him?

Oh, I've always been a fan.

Wonderful screen actor.

He frightens the life out of me.

I think he's sweet. Bless him.

Bless him?

He's not as old as he looks.

Must've had a tough life.

Are you okay?

Scared to death! Me too.

How about one of just

the three of you then?

Oh, well. Goodbye, real world!

One more.

Patience.

I have the patience of a saint.

But it's wearing very thin!

We need the inside of the TARDIS

right now!

I'm busy.

You'll get your time machine

when I can find a moment...

Too busy for a children's

programme, is that it?

Patience.

"If you could touch the alien sand

and listen to the sound of... "

Bugger!

"If you could touch the alien sand

and hear the cry of strange birds

"and watch them wheel in

another sky, would that satisfy you?

"Susan and I are cut off

from our own people.

"But one day we shall get back.

Yes. One day.

"One day. "

- Who's Susan?

- My granddaughter.

I'm your granddaughter.

Yes. Yes, of course you are, darling.

But she's my granddaughter in the

story I'm doing on the television.

I play a funny old man

who lives inside a magic box.

Like a jack-in-the-box, Sampa?

A little like that, yes.

But, this is a machine in disguise.

A time machine.

Do you know how to fly

a time machine, Sampa?

Hm? Yes! Yes, of course I do!

You'll see.

You'll see

when I'm on the television.

We'll be going back through history

to meet kings and queens.

And off to distant planets

where the Doctor will have

all kinds of adventures.

The Doctor?

He's the old man I'm playing.

A doctor?

Does he make people better?

No! I have... Don't you think you're

being rather high-handed, young man?

You thought you saw a young girl

enter the yard.

You imagine you heard music

or her voice?

You believe she might be in there?

Not very substantial, is it?

But why won't you help us?

I'm not hindering you.

You intrude here...

- He's tetchy as hell. - ... start

making accusations and implications.

If you both want to make

fools of yourselves,

I suggest you do what

you said you'd do.

Go and ask a policeman...

Bugger! Fetch a policeman.

While you nip off quietly

in the other direction, I suppose.

Come on, Barbara.

What are you doing out there,

Grandfather?

Go back inside! Shut the door!

Shut that door!

Barbara!

OK! OK, everyone.

Fantastic. That's where we stop the

tape and go inside the spaceship.

When it's built!

OK. Good. Well done.

Everyone happy?

No, I'm not happy. Not at all.

Er, Miss Lambert.

A word, if you please.

Coffee? Good idea. Thank you.

The set for the machine? TARDIS?

When is it arriving?

There's, er, there's been
