×ÖÄ» Len! Len, for God's sake!
×ÖÄ» You'll go up like a Roman Candle, if you're not careful.
×ÖÄ» Can I take my head off, mate? I'm boiling in here.
×ÖÄ» No. We'll be starting up again in a minute.
×ÖÄ» Why? What's the hold up?
×ÖÄ» You know who.
×ÖÄ» Well, tell him to get his skates on!
×ÖÄ» Some of us have got a bloody planet to invade. Shh! What?
×ÖÄ» Can I see your pass, sir?
×ÖÄ» Ah, come on, Harry. You know my face!
×ÖÄ» That's as maybe, sir. Sydney Newman. Clue's in the name.
×ÖÄ» Better than any mug-shot. Still need to see your pass, sir.
×ÖÄ» Ah, to hell with it!
×ÖÄ» That's not the way we do things at the BBC, sir!
×ÖÄ» You don't say! HE SCOFFS
×ÖÄ» So, we got a great,
×ÖÄ» big thumping audience for Grandstand, but we lose them
×ÖÄ» before the teeny boppers tune in for Juke Box Jury, right?
×ÖÄ» Right. Erm...correct. We got a gap to plug.
×ÖÄ» 25 minutes. How about another Dickens?
×ÖÄ» Fossilised, Mervyn! Fusty. Frowsty.
×ÖÄ» And lots of less polite words beginning with F.
×ÖÄ» Here's a word for you, though - fun!
×ÖÄ» FUN! You heard of fun, Mervyn?
×ÖÄ» It that something else you've brought from ITV?
×ÖÄ» I hope so, I certainly hope so!
×ÖÄ» We need stuff to keep the sports fans hooked and the kids too.
×ÖÄ» Competitive Tiddlywinks?
×ÖÄ» You know what I'm talking about. Science fiction?
×ÖÄ» Is it really that popular? It was last time I took a look.
×ÖÄ» With juvenile boys, perhaps. I like it.
×ÖÄ» â™?Oh, let's have a wonderful time Let's have a wonderful time
×ÖÄ» â™?Come on, everybody and let's have a wonderful time... â™? 50 00:05: 00:05:22,430
×ÖÄ» LAUGHING AND CHATTING She thought the balloon had gone up.
×ÖÄ» What? She thought we'd all had it.
×ÖÄ» Cuba! No point in holding back if the missiles started flying.
×ÖÄ» So she put it about a bit. A lot!
×ÖÄ» So what did they say? "You're only a production assistant, dear.
×ÖÄ» "It's a bit of a leap." I'm giving myself a year, Jackie.
×ÖÄ» Get on in television or get out. Oh. What do I know?
×ÖÄ» I spend my time trying not to bump into the cameras,
×ÖÄ» but don't pack in yet, Verity. Softly, softly, eh?
×ÖÄ» Mmm. You've got a... What? Red wine.
×ÖÄ» Oh. Red wine.
×ÖÄ» Oh, Lord, it's on, isn't it? What?
×ÖÄ» The space shot! The Soviets. Valentina what's-it.
×ÖÄ» First woman in space! Oh, God, yes! SHE SWITCHES ON THE TV
×ÖÄ» And there she is, Valentina Tereshkova looking,
×ÖÄ» appropriately enough, on top of the world.
×ÖÄ» Valentina speaking russian
×ÖÄ» Pop, pop, pop.
×ÖÄ» The first woman in space,
×ÖÄ» a major triumph there for the Soviet Union
×ÖÄ» in the ever-escalating space race.
×ÖÄ» Phone rings
×ÖÄ» Hello? Verity, it's Sydney.
×ÖÄ» What? Sydney! Sydney! Hello, stranger.
×ÖÄ» You know anything about children, Verity? Not a thing.
×ÖÄ» We want to do a science fiction serial. Legitimate stuff, though.
×ÖÄ» No tin robots or BEMs. BEMs?
×ÖÄ» Bug-Eyed Monsters! You know... mutations and Death Rays.
×ÖÄ» Brains in glass jars, that kind of crap.
×ÖÄ» It's going to run all year.
×ÖÄ» So a good-looking guy, a good-looking girl
×ÖÄ» and a kid who gets herself into all kinds of trouble.
×ÖÄ» Plus an older man. Quirky. I'll come back to him.
×ÖÄ» They travel about in space and time getting into scrapes!
×ÖÄ» That's a lovely idea! You know me. Pop! Pop! Pop!
×ÖÄ» And we want history too. Proper history.
×ÖÄ» The kids at home should learn something.
×ÖÄ» And what about this other man? The quirky character?
×ÖÄ» He's a doctor. A doctor? Mm-hmm.
×ÖÄ» He should be a doctor, don't you think?
×ÖÄ» Makes him an authority figure, Sorta, kinda reassuring.
×ÖÄ» So, what do you think?
×ÖÄ» Look, Sydney, I'd love to work with you again. Really I would.
×ÖÄ» It's just... SHE SIGHS
×ÖÄ» I gave myself a year. Get on in TV or get out...
×ÖÄ» Hey, hey, hey, hey.
×ÖÄ» I don't want you to be my assistant again, kid!
×ÖÄ» I want you to produce it!
×ÖÄ» Produce it?
×ÖÄ» Sure. They've never had a female producer here! Sit down!
×ÖÄ» You're just what this place needs!
×ÖÄ» Someone with piss and vinegar in their veins! Thanks! I think.
×ÖÄ» I did a show called Pathfinders at ITV. You see it? Um...
×ÖÄ» We had an old guy as the hero. A grumpy old guy.
×ÖÄ» That's what we want here.
×ÖÄ» THE ARMY GANG PLAYS ON THE TV Wait for it! Attention!
×ÖÄ» Oh, my stars! What did I do to deserve you lot?
×ÖÄ» Drivel.
×ÖÄ» We'll make her a skirt... No-one rung?
×ÖÄ» SHE SCOFFS Not since you last asked. All right.
×ÖÄ» Five minutes ago. All right, all right!
×ÖÄ» You've only been out of work a couple of weeks.
×ÖÄ» Well, I'm not built for lazing around, am I?
×ÖÄ» I've got to graft or I'll go round the twist.
×ÖÄ» What about that play?
×ÖÄ» Another ruddy army part! No fear. That's all they ever offer me.
×ÖÄ» Crooks and perishing Sergeant Majors!
×ÖÄ» But that's how casting people see you,
×ÖÄ» isn't it, love? Authority figures.
×ÖÄ» â™?My grandfather's a funny 'un... â™? Don't do that.
×ÖÄ» â™?He's got a face like a pickled onion. â™? 120 00:09: 00:09:37,990
×ÖÄ» Stop it! Bloody rubbish. Bill! Not in front of Judi.
×ÖÄ» â™?My Grandfather's a funny 'un. â™? I said stop it!
×ÖÄ» Why are you always so grumpy, Sampa?
×ÖÄ» What? What's it got to do with you? Silly girl!
×ÖÄ» Judi? Judi-poodi, darling? For goodness' sake, Bill!
×ÖÄ» Go after her! I told the girl once. What's wrong with her?
×ÖÄ» Cloth-ears? Urgh! Don't you like being successful?
×ÖÄ» That's not success! I'm legitimate! A legitimate character actor
×ÖÄ» of the stage and film! This is variety!
×ÖÄ» I only asked.
×ÖÄ» What about Leslie French? He'd be marvellous.
×ÖÄ» He's working with Visconti. Gave us a polite no.
×ÖÄ» Cyril Cusack? A less polite no.
×ÖÄ» Ahem. Can I help you? I think you're in my office.
×ÖÄ» That's a rather interesting way of looking at it.
×ÖÄ» I'm rather an interesting person. I don't doubt it. Rex Tucker.
×ÖÄ» I'm looking after Doctor Who.
×ÖÄ» Pending the appointment of the permanent producer.
×ÖÄ» Oh. Is he with you? You're looking at him.
×ÖÄ» I keep coming back to Hugh David. Who?
×ÖÄ» He was in Knight Errant on ITV. Lovely actor.
×ÖÄ» Not old enough for the Doctor, surely?
×ÖÄ» Well, we don't want Grandpa Moses, do we?
×ÖÄ» We need someone who can play older.
×ÖÄ» The shooting schedule's going to be pretty punishing.
×ÖÄ» I've got some ideas. I'll call Hugh. See what he thinks.
×ÖÄ» I'd rather you didn't. Is that a fact? Waste of time!
×ÖÄ» We need someone like Frank Morgan in the Wizard Of Oz. He's dead.
×ÖÄ» Rex... And American. I said "Like".
×ÖÄ» Well, perhaps we should all sleep on it.
×ÖÄ» After all, it took them months to find Scarlet O'Hara!
×ÖÄ» Um...dear lady, may I have a word?
×ÖÄ» Phone rings
×ÖÄ» Hello?
×ÖÄ» Yes.
×ÖÄ» Oh, yes?
×ÖÄ» Is it right you were Sydney's
×ÖÄ» production assistant on the other channel? Yes.
×ÖÄ» So this is quite a promotion.
×ÖÄ» Apparently. Bound to ruffle a few feathers.
×ÖÄ» If feathers don't ruffle, nothing flies.
×ÖÄ» This show is going to be a terrific challenge, you know.
×ÖÄ» Outer space. Time travel.
×ÖÄ» In the first script, they go back to the Stone Age.
×ÖÄ» You'll need all the help you can get.
×ÖÄ» So, Rex is going to act as a sort of mentor to you.
×ÖÄ» A ship can't have two captains.
×ÖÄ» Dear lady... Please don't call me that. Sorry.
×ÖÄ» And what about you, Mervyn? What's your function?
×ÖÄ» I'm to be your sort of technical boffin.
×ÖÄ» Help you through the mire of all this.
×ÖÄ» Sydney obviously thinks he's got the right person for the job.
×ÖÄ» That's what he wants for Doctor Who.
×ÖÄ» Someone with piss and vinegar in their veins.
×ÖÄ» Did he say that? He's very blunt.
×ÖÄ» Yes.
×ÖÄ» Look, all I'm saying is, dear la...
×ÖÄ» Verity. All I'm saying is that experience is not a dirty word.
×ÖÄ» Don't fight us.
×ÖÄ» Perhaps you could add a few drops of warm beer in with your...
×ÖÄ» Piss and... Mixture. Just for the time being.
×ÖÄ» Well. We'd better clear out, we'll have the news team in here.
×ÖÄ» That's clever.
×ÖÄ» So they don't have to look down at their words all the time.
×ÖÄ» Yes. Quite a wheeze.
×ÖÄ» Someone'll make a fortune out of that.
×ÖÄ» I suppose so. Shame I
×ÖÄ» didn't get to the patent office faster. Why?
×ÖÄ» I invented it!
×ÖÄ» Well, have a look at it, Bill.
×ÖÄ» It certainly sounds different.
×ÖÄ» And it's an old man part, you know. Is it?
×ÖÄ» Yeah! It's like This Sporting Life.
×ÖÄ» Well, I love playing older!
×ÖÄ» I know.
×ÖÄ» Well? What next?
×ÖÄ» He's going to set up a meeting.
×ÖÄ» He sounded ever so upbeat on the phone.
×ÖÄ» He says it's a smashing role.
×ÖÄ» For the BBC.
×ÖÄ» Yeah, yeah...
×ÖÄ» and it's for kiddies!
×ÖÄ» Come on, Stumpy!
×ÖÄ» Off to Madame Bovary.
×ÖÄ» Well, I'm sure he'll be happier away from us.
×ÖÄ» Any news from the design department?
×ÖÄ» They're not being very helpful, I'm afraid.
×ÖÄ» Knock on door
×ÖÄ» What is this?! What're we going to do with this?
×ÖÄ» Stone Age Man going, "Ug"! It's crazy!
×ÖÄ» Cavemen and doctors and disappearing bloody police boxes!
×ÖÄ» What're we going to do? Waris Hussein. Our director.
×ÖÄ» Verity. Hi.
×ÖÄ» What have you just been working on?
×ÖÄ» Er, Compact.
×ÖÄ» Oh. High art indeed.
×ÖÄ» Shut up.
×ÖÄ» Don't people say "Ug" In Compact?
×ÖÄ» Frequently. Mostly after a liquid lunch.
×ÖÄ» The cavemen script is the only one ready to go.
×ÖÄ» We have to start with it.
×ÖÄ» Right, and where are we shooting?
×ÖÄ» Lime Grove. Studio D.
×ÖÄ» Oh, God, not there! We can't do anything there.
×ÖÄ» It's a broom cupboard. It's smaller on the inside.
×ÖÄ» It's the wrong shape and the sprinklers go off when it gets hot.
×ÖÄ» Well, you'll make it brilliantly, won't you?
×ÖÄ» Oh. I see. Simple as that.
×ÖÄ» It'll never work.
×ÖÄ» When do we start?
×ÖÄ» Excuse me.
×ÖÄ» Hello?
×ÖÄ» Yes, sir? Gin and tonic...
×ÖÄ» Vodka and tonic and a red wine, please.
×ÖÄ» Sorry, love, I'm serving...
×ÖÄ» Vodka and tonic and a red wine, please.
×ÖÄ» Vodka tonic, red wine.
×ÖÄ» Thank you. I'd have been stood here all night.
×ÖÄ» "We are all strangers in a strange land."
×ÖÄ» Very profound.
×ÖÄ» Isn't it? You'll find I'm generally pretty profound.
×ÖÄ» I wish I had your front. I wish I had your behind.
×ÖÄ» Shh! Like a little peach. Shut up!
×ÖÄ» Don't be fooled, Waris. That's all it is.
×ÖÄ» Front. Inside, I'm shaking like a leaf.
×ÖÄ» I'm here by the skin of my bloody teeth.
×ÖÄ» First Indian director this place has ever had.
×ÖÄ» So, we've got to stick together, haven't we?
×ÖÄ» Make our little show work. That'll teach them.
×ÖÄ» Who? The old guard.
×ÖÄ» This - sea of fag smoke, tweed and sweaty men.
×ÖÄ» Not that I'm knocking sweaty men.
×ÖÄ» I should hope not.
×ÖÄ» Listen, I overheard a
×ÖÄ» couple of old horrors standing by the tea urn.
×ÖÄ» They said, "Well, she didn't get here standing up, did she?"
×ÖÄ» Sydney's bit of fluff, am I?
×ÖÄ» Well, that seems to be the impression.
×ÖÄ» How else could you get a promotion like this?
×ÖÄ» A promotion like what?
×ÖÄ» I'm trying to recreate the Stone Age with Airfix glue
×ÖÄ» and bloody BacoFoil!
×ÖÄ» We're trying to.
×ÖÄ» Yes. Sorry.
×ÖÄ» Here's to us. The posh wog!
×ÖÄ» And the pushy Jewish bird!
×ÖÄ» L'chaim! Cheers.
×ÖÄ» We could have our own series! We do!
×ÖÄ» I don't want any of this muck,
×ÖÄ» thanks very much. I'll have a drink.
×ÖÄ» Right.
×ÖÄ» You the director, son?
×ÖÄ» Yes.
×ÖÄ» Hardly out of the cradle, the pair of you.
×ÖÄ» Right. Let's talk turkey.
×ÖÄ» I'm not sure about this. Not sure at all. No?
×ÖÄ» Apart from anything else,
×ÖÄ» I don't want to take on another long run.
×ÖÄ» Had enough of that on The Army Game. Nearly killed me.
×ÖÄ» Weekly bloody rep! Would you like to order drinks?
×ÖÄ» Whisky and soda. Chopee, chopee.
×ÖÄ» Whose idea was all this? That fella from ITV?
×ÖÄ» Sydney Newman, yes.
×ÖÄ» But so many people have been
×ÖÄ» at the birth of the thing, we'd be here all day...
×ÖÄ» Doctor who theme plays
×ÖÄ» Tell me about the characters.
×ÖÄ» Two school teachers.
×ÖÄ» Ian and Barbara. They're intrigued about one of their pupils.
×ÖÄ» A young girl called Susan.
×ÖÄ» She seems to have impossible knowledge for a girl from 1963.
×ÖÄ» So the schoolteachers follow her home.
×ÖÄ» But "Home" Is a junkyard...
×ÖÄ» Yes, yes, yes. Scripts. I need to see scripts.
×ÖÄ» Oh, they're going wonderfully. Wonderfully!
×ÖÄ» The BBC are really excited about the show. They're throwing...
×ÖÄ» everything at it. State of the art facilities.
×ÖÄ» How do they get about? Flying saucer or something?
×ÖÄ» Ours is a space and time
×ÖÄ» machine that can blend in with its background.
×ÖÄ» You mean it's covered in invisible paint or something?
×ÖÄ» No, no... it adapts to suit its environment.
×ÖÄ» It gets stuck in one shape.
×ÖÄ» A police box. A police box?
×ÖÄ» How gorgeous would that be? An ordinary 20th-century object
×ÖÄ» on the surface of an alien planet! Fantastic!
×ÖÄ» And the opening titles are like nothing you've ever seen. Yes.
×ÖÄ» You see, if you point a camera down its own monitor,
×ÖÄ» it creates the most wonderful shapes, patterns...
×ÖÄ» Like mirrors, endlessly reflecting.
×ÖÄ» Swooping and pulsing, like butterfly wings.
×ÖÄ» Maybe I could be in them?
×ÖÄ» Just pop in front of the camera would you, Tony?
×ÖÄ» Let's see how that looks.
×ÖÄ» Oh, Christ, no! That's terrifying!
×ÖÄ» ..And wait till you hear the music,
×ÖÄ» we're using the latest technology.
×ÖÄ» How did you do it?
×ÖÄ» Brian's house keys.
×ÖÄ» Scraping noise
×ÖÄ» And what about the Doctor himself?
×ÖÄ» He's something like 600 years old.
×ÖÄ» Looks like a senile old man but he's tough.
×ÖÄ» Tough and wiry like an old turkey.
×ÖÄ» It's what you do so well, Mr Hartnell. Stern and scary...
×ÖÄ» but with a twinkle. Trust me, Bill. You're perfect for it.
×ÖÄ» No-one will be able to resist you.
×ÖÄ» You really think so?
×ÖÄ» CS Lewis meets HG Wells meets Father Christmas.
×ÖÄ» That's the Doctor.
×ÖÄ» Doctor who, hmm?
×ÖÄ» Come on, big smiles!
×ÖÄ» And again.
×ÖÄ» Come on, big smiles. Cheers! Lovely.
×ÖÄ» Come on, one more.
×ÖÄ» Lovely stuff. That's it!
×ÖÄ» You're a brick for doing this.
×ÖÄ» Contractually obliged, darling. No, no! I mean the show.
×ÖÄ» You'll all give it such gravitas. Thank you.
×ÖÄ» So, what do you make of him?
×ÖÄ» Oh, I've always been a fan. Wonderful screen actor.
×ÖÄ» He frightens the life out of me.
×ÖÄ» I think he's sweet. Bless him.
×ÖÄ» Bless him? He's not as old as he looks.
×ÖÄ» Must've had a tough life.
×ÖÄ» Are you OK?
×ÖÄ» Scared to death! Me too.
×ÖÄ» How about one of just the three of you then?
×ÖÄ» Oh, well. Goodbye, real world!
×ÖÄ» One more.
×ÖÄ» Patience.
×ÖÄ» I have the patience of a saint. But it's wearing very thin!
×ÖÄ» We need the inside of the TARDIS right now!
×ÖÄ» I'm busy.
×ÖÄ» You'll get your time machine when I can find a moment...
×ÖÄ» Too busy for a children's programme, is that it?
×ÖÄ» Patience.
×ÖÄ» "If you could touch the alien sand and listen to the sound of..."
×ÖÄ» Bugger!
×ÖÄ» "If you could touch the
×ÖÄ» alien sand and hear the cry of strange birds
×ÖÄ» "And watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?
×ÖÄ» "Susan and I are cut off from our own people.
×ÖÄ» "But one day we shall get back. Yes. One day.
×ÖÄ» "One day."
×ÖÄ» Who's Susan? My granddaughter.
×ÖÄ» I'm your granddaughter.
×ÖÄ» Yes. Yes, of course you are, darling.
×ÖÄ» But she's my granddaughter
×ÖÄ» in the story I'm doing on the television.
×ÖÄ» I play a funny old man who lives inside a magic box.
×ÖÄ» Like a jack-in-the-box, Sampa?
×ÖÄ» A little like that, yes.
×ÖÄ» But, this is a machine in disguise. A time machine.
×ÖÄ» Do you know how to fly a time machine, Sampa?
×ÖÄ» Hm? Yes! Yes, of course I do! You'll see.
×ÖÄ» You'll see when I'm on the television.
×ÖÄ» We'll be going back through history to meet kings and queens.
×ÖÄ» And off to distant planets
×ÖÄ» where the Doctor will have all kinds of adventures.
×ÖÄ» The Doctor?
×ÖÄ» He's the old man I'm playing.
×ÖÄ» A doctor? Does he make people better?
×ÖÄ» No! I have... Don't you think
×ÖÄ» you're being rather high-handed, young man?
×ÖÄ» You thought you saw a young girl enter the yard.
×ÖÄ» You imagine you heard music or her voice?
×ÖÄ» You believe she might be in there? Not very substantial, is it?
×ÖÄ» But why won't you help us?
×ÖÄ» I'm not hindering you. You intrude here....
×ÖÄ» He's tetchy as hell. ..Start making accusations and implications.
×ÖÄ» If you both want to make fools of yourselves,
×ÖÄ» I suggest you do what you said you'd do.
×ÖÄ» Go and ask a policeman... Bugger! FETCH a policeman.
×ÖÄ» While you nip off quietly in the other direction, I suppose.
×ÖÄ» Come on, Barbara.
×ÖÄ» What are you doing out there, Grandfather?
×ÖÄ» Go back inside! Shut the door! Shut that door!
×ÖÄ» Barbara!
×ÖÄ» OK! OK, everyone.
×ÖÄ» Fantastic. That's where
×ÖÄ» we stop the tape and go inside the spaceship.
×ÖÄ» When it's built!
×ÖÄ» OK. Good. Well done.
×ÖÄ» Everyone happy?
×ÖÄ» No, I'm not happy. Not at all. Er, Miss Lambert.
×ÖÄ» A word, if you please.
×ÖÄ» Coffee? Good idea. Thank you.
×ÖÄ» The set for the machine? TARDIS?
×ÖÄ» When is it arriving?
×ÖÄ» There's, er, there's been a...delay.
×ÖÄ» It won't do. It just won't do.
×ÖÄ» I don't know how I'm expected to cope
×ÖÄ» with all the technical gibberish I have to spout
×ÖÄ» without a bloody set to work on. I'm sorry, Bill.
×ÖÄ» II need time to plot out all the buttons, you see.
×ÖÄ» Buttons? On the controls! All the switches and dials.
×ÖÄ» I need to know what they all do.
×ÖÄ» What if I press something to open the doors
×ÖÄ» and the next week I use it to blow us all up!
×ÖÄ» You must see that?
×ÖÄ» The children will spot it, you see, if we try and fudge it.
×ÖÄ» And we must discuss my character.
×ÖÄ» Absolutely.
×ÖÄ» He's too abrasive. Too nasty. Do you see?
×ÖÄ» Where's that twinkle you talked about?
×ÖÄ» The thing that made me so right for it?
×ÖÄ» I... Oh, Sydney!
×ÖÄ» Sydney Newman, Head Of Drama,
×ÖÄ» let me introduce you to Mr William Hartnell.
×ÖÄ» Right! Our Doctor! Great choice.
×ÖÄ» I'm a big fan. Big fan.
×ÖÄ» Oh, thank you. But I do need to discuss...
×ÖÄ» What was that terrific war picture, you were in? What was that?
×ÖÄ» Well, I've done a few. The Way Ahead?
×ÖÄ» Yeah! Hell of a picture. You were sensational!
×ÖÄ» Oh! Do you really think so?
×ÖÄ» Oh, yes. Absolutely extraordinary.
×ÖÄ» I did get some very nice notices. Yes.
×ÖÄ» Was that before or after Brighton Rock?
×ÖÄ» Oh, before...
×ÖÄ» Of course! You were in Brighton Rock! Wow!
×ÖÄ» What a performance!
×ÖÄ» Oh. Well. Ha-ha. You're very kind.
×ÖÄ» It should have led to much bigger and better things, you know,
×ÖÄ» but, erm...I wasn't blessed.
×ÖÄ» Not blessed? What the hell are you talking about?
×ÖÄ» Of course you're blessed.
×ÖÄ» You're going to be Doctor Who, aren't you?
×ÖÄ» Well, yes... Perfect choice for my little show. My idea anyway.
×ÖÄ» That's what I do. Ideas! One day I came into ITV.
×ÖÄ» "I got an idea," I said.
×ÖÄ» "The Avengers!" "What's it about?" They said.
×ÖÄ» "How the hell should I know," I said. "But what a title!"
×ÖÄ» Pop! Pop! Pop!
×ÖÄ» You, sir, are going to make a huge impact with this character.
×ÖÄ» I am?
×ÖÄ» Only a movie star could do it. So nuanced.
×ÖÄ» So many layers.
×ÖÄ» Well, you know. One tries.
×ÖÄ» And these kids are perfect for it.
×ÖÄ» You couldn't be in safer hands. Fun! Energy!
×ÖÄ» Youth! Pop! Pop! Pop!
×ÖÄ» Freaks.
×ÖÄ» Thank you so much, Sydney.
×ÖÄ» You've no idea what a difference it makes...
×ÖÄ» Be a producer, Verity. Find a way to deal with this stuff.
×ÖÄ» Or are you out of your depth?
×ÖÄ» What are you doing?
×ÖÄ» Being patient. What? I can be very patient.
×ÖÄ» You can't stay here! Now,
×ÖÄ» what shall we talk about? I've got all day.
×ÖÄ» Don't be ridiculous!
×ÖÄ» The Old Curiosity Shop! The Roman Forum!
×ÖÄ» The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon!
×ÖÄ» Symphonies in pencil and ink.
×ÖÄ» So, surely you can turn
×ÖÄ» your hand to my teeny little time machine?
×ÖÄ» Just turn that blazing talent of yours to my little kiddies' show
×ÖÄ» and who knows what might happen?
×ÖÄ» Won't take you more than half an hour.
×ÖÄ» You are a very trying woman.
×ÖÄ» Then I'll get out of your hair.
×ÖÄ» Maybe the muse will be with you!
×ÖÄ» Maybe it will be the best thing you've ever thought of.
×ÖÄ» Very well! Very well!
×ÖÄ» Here. Here, madam.
×ÖÄ» Here's your bloody TARDIS!
×ÖÄ» Turned out rather well, hasn't it?
×ÖÄ» Through the cupboard doors and into Narnia!
×ÖÄ» It's too bloody big. Takes up half the studio.
×ÖÄ» Yes, yes?
×ÖÄ» Yes, yes, Waris, I heard him. Thank you.
×ÖÄ» Right. Can you pass me my script, please?
×ÖÄ» This is ridiculous! Sorry, boys and girls.
×ÖÄ» He says he won't have his teeth blacked out, Guv.
×ÖÄ» Dougie, it's 100,000 BC! Yeah, I know.
×ÖÄ» It's the Tribe Of Gum.
×ÖÄ» He says he got them whitened to get onto the telly.
×ÖÄ» Well, does it matter? We only see his bloody shadow.
×ÖÄ» I'll do it! What?
×ÖÄ» I don't mind blacking my teeth.
×ÖÄ» I've already got sand fleas in my Y-fronts. Can't get much worse.
×ÖÄ» OK, stout man! I think we're sorted then, Guv.
×ÖÄ» Thank you, Duggie.
×ÖÄ» Red light, bell... BELL RINGS
×ÖÄ» OK, into position, everyone,
×ÖÄ» and roll to record in 15...
×ÖÄ» God, it's hot in here. Anyone else hot? Yeah.
×ÖÄ» Can we do something about the heat?
×ÖÄ» I thought he'd be used to it. What?
×ÖÄ» Nothing. Watch it, Arthur.
×ÖÄ» Five minutes, chum. Then they turn the lights out.
×ÖÄ» Them's the rules.
×ÖÄ» OK, everyone. Quiet, please.
×ÖÄ» Quiet!
×ÖÄ» Five...four...three...
×ÖÄ» OK, come in to camera one, on one.
×ÖÄ» OK, clear two.
×ÖÄ» These people are known to you, I believe.
×ÖÄ» What are you doing here?
×ÖÄ» They're two of my schoolteachers.
×ÖÄ» Is that your excuse for this unwarrantable...
×ÖÄ» Unwarranted intrusion?
×ÖÄ» You had no right to invite them here.
×ÖÄ» I blame you for this, Susan.
×ÖÄ» You will insist on... OK, come in on, er...
×ÖÄ» Come in on three.
×ÖÄ» I warned you. But, Grandfather, I...
×ÖÄ» Is this really where you live, Susan? Yes!
×ÖÄ» On three. Coming on one.
×ÖÄ» It was just a box!
×ÖÄ» On one, on three.
×ÖÄ» Come in on two.
×ÖÄ» You see, I knew this would happen.
×ÖÄ» Move the camera.
×ÖÄ» Get hold of the cable! Get the cable!
×ÖÄ» Move the bloody camera! Arthur, what the hell is he doing?
×ÖÄ» Why doesn't he have a go?
×ÖÄ» Now we are here, I'd just like to...
×ÖÄ» I know this is absurd, but...
×ÖÄ» Doors creak
×ÖÄ» The doors! What's happening to the doors?
×ÖÄ» It moves. The TARDIS can go anywhere.
×ÖÄ» TARDIS? I don't know what you mean, Susan.
×ÖÄ» I made up TARDIS from the initials.
×ÖÄ» Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.
×ÖÄ» I thought you'd both realise when you came inside
×ÖÄ» and saw the different dimensions from outside.
×ÖÄ» What's... What's happening to the bloody doors?
×ÖÄ» A thing that looks like a police box, stuck in a junk yard,
×ÖÄ» can move anywhere in time and space?
×ÖÄ» Oh, Susan, don't be ridiculous!
×ÖÄ» Oh, Christ, stiff as Scotchman's wallet!
×ÖÄ» But you are one of us. You look like us.
×ÖÄ» You sound like us.
×ÖÄ» I was born in the 49th century.
×ÖÄ» Alarm bell rings
×ÖÄ» Oh...
×ÖÄ» Covers! Get the covers!
×ÖÄ» Everybody out.
×ÖÄ» Am I on yet?
×ÖÄ» Anyone?
×ÖÄ» I've done me teeth.
×ÖÄ» Wish I knew what bloody dimension I was in.
×ÖÄ» Hello?
×ÖÄ» Anyone?
×ÖÄ» No, my child, we both know we cannot let our secret loose
×ÖÄ» into the world of the 20th century.
×ÖÄ» But you can't keep them prisoner here!
×ÖÄ» He can't keep us prisoners anywhere.
×ÖÄ» I cannot let you go, schoolteacher.
×ÖÄ» Whether you believe what you have been told is of no importance.
×ÖÄ» You and your companion would be footprints in a time
×ÖÄ» we were not supposed to walk.
×ÖÄ» If I have to use force to get out of here, I will, you know.
×ÖÄ» Maybe we've stumbled on something beyond our understanding.
×ÖÄ» Oh, why did you come here, why?!
×ÖÄ» Grandfather, no!
×ÖÄ» No, you don't!
×ÖÄ» Oh, stop it! Let him go!
×ÖÄ» Let me go!
×ÖÄ» Doctor who theme plays
×ÖÄ» Let's go to lunch.
×ÖÄ» Not hungry?
×ÖÄ» Don't seem to have much of an appetite.
×ÖÄ» Not surprised.
×ÖÄ» I should fire the pair of you.
×ÖÄ» Right. Take out the
×ÖÄ» reference to the future time they've come from.
×ÖÄ» The 49th Century? Too specific. It's Doctor Who, remember.
×ÖÄ» And the old guy's too nasty. He should be cuter. Funnier.
×ÖÄ» And the kid needs to be cheeky too. Like a regular teenager.
×ÖÄ» Did you like any of it?
×ÖÄ» Not much. Hate the opening titles. You're joking?
×ÖÄ» Too weird. It's sensational! Just because it's new.
×ÖÄ» Hey! Hey! I like new. I do new, remember?!
×ÖÄ» It's too scary for the kids.
×ÖÄ» I-I thought we were trying to scare them.
×ÖÄ» Scare them, not traumatise them! Change it.
×ÖÄ» Over my dead body.
×ÖÄ» It can be arranged.
×ÖÄ» It'll cost. And they'll crucify me for it.
×ÖÄ» What?
×ÖÄ» Do the whole thing again.
×ÖÄ» I'm not right for the part.
×ÖÄ» Bill... Just not right for it. It... It isn't me. Bill!
×ÖÄ» Isn't me at all! Listen to me. Sydney thought it was good.
×ÖÄ» He's over the moon! I let you down.
×ÖÄ» You let me down?
×ÖÄ» You were right. You were so right.
×ÖÄ» Look, we've made the Doctor too abrasive.
×ÖÄ» We need much more of you in him.
×ÖÄ» Much more charm and warmth and twinkle.
×ÖÄ» You knew it, I couldn't see it.
×ÖÄ» You sure you've got the right man?
×ÖÄ» Of course I am.
×ÖÄ» I'm-I'm frightened, you see,
×ÖÄ» I've...never really done anything like this before.
×ÖÄ» The...pressure, the schedule and all those ruddy words...
×ÖÄ» I'm here for you, Bill.
×ÖÄ» Promise?
×ÖÄ» Every step.
×ÖÄ» Right...
×ÖÄ» I've got to tell the others now.
×ÖÄ» Time and tide wait for no man, eh?
×ÖÄ» Time and space, Bill. And they wait for no woman either.
×ÖÄ» I'm not hindering you.
×ÖÄ» If you both want to make fools of yourselves,
×ÖÄ» I suggest you do what you said you'd do.
×ÖÄ» Go and find a policeman.
×ÖÄ» Clear three, clear three.
×ÖÄ» Move to shot two. Tighter on two.
×ÖÄ» I shall be here when you get back.
×ÖÄ» I want to see your faces when you try and explain...
×ÖÄ» Tighter on one.
×ÖÄ» ..Chesserman... Chesterton.
×ÖÄ» He got the name wrong. He got the name wrong.
×ÖÄ» Can we go back? Can we go back?
×ÖÄ» We've already stopped recording three times.
×ÖÄ» Only one more edit allowed, son.
×ÖÄ» Thank you, Mervyn. Four edits in the whole show!
×ÖÄ» It's so bloody primitive!
×ÖÄ» Young man speak truth! BBC equipment from Stone Age!
×ÖÄ» We have no choice, do we? Onwards, Waris. Onwards!
×ÖÄ» OK, stand by one
×ÖÄ» Oh, no, Grandfather! No!
×ÖÄ» Let me through. Get back to the ship, child!
×ÖÄ» It could be anywhere.... Dear, dear, dear, dear.
×ÖÄ» It's of no help to us at all.
×ÖÄ» I suggest before we go outside and explore,
×ÖÄ» let us clean ourselves up.
×ÖÄ» Oh, yes. What does the radiation read, Susan?
×ÖÄ» It's reading normal, Grandfather.
×ÖÄ» Doctor who theme plays
×ÖÄ» OK. Good.
×ÖÄ» I'll tell them we can make the transmission date.
×ÖÄ» How are the other scripts coming along?
×ÖÄ» Your Canadian pal is doing us one about Marco Polo.
×ÖÄ» Terrific! That's more like my brief.
×ÖÄ» Get the kids hooked on real history.
×ÖÄ» We're also trying one of Tony Hancock's writers - Terry Nation.
×ÖÄ» You got a script?
×ÖÄ» Yes. It's good. What's it about?
×ÖÄ» Robots. No, no, no. They're not robots.
×ÖÄ» Rule one - no robots!
×ÖÄ» Rule two... No bug-eyed monsters!
×ÖÄ» I know. But I promise you they're not.
×ÖÄ» It's a really interesting story.
×ÖÄ» Set on a distant planet after a nuclear war...
×ÖÄ» OK, OK. Whatever. Send it straight up to me.
×ÖÄ» Then we'll see.
×ÖÄ» This time in a few of weeks, episode one will have aired.
×ÖÄ» Hm.
×ÖÄ» Brave heart, darling. I think we'll be a smash.
×ÖÄ» Fingers crossed. We could do with a bit of luck.
×ÖÄ» She sighs
×ÖÄ» Bleeping
×ÖÄ» "Hideous machine-like creatures...
×ÖÄ» "A lens on a flexible shaft...
×ÖÄ» "Acts as an eye...?
×ÖÄ» "You will move ahead of us and follow my directions!
×ÖÄ» "Ian breaks away and dashes for it...
×ÖÄ» "Exterminate!" GUNSHOT AND SCREAMING
×ÖÄ» "Exterminate!"
×ÖÄ» 'It is with deep regret that we announce
×ÖÄ» 'that President Kennedy is dead.
×ÖÄ» 'He was shot down as he was driving in an open car
×ÖÄ» 'through the city of Dallas, Texas.
×ÖÄ» 'The identity of the assassin remains unconfirmed at this time.'
×ÖÄ» Doctor who theme plays
×ÖÄ» It was very good, Bill.
×ÖÄ» 'And now we return to the news.
×ÖÄ» 'Vice President Lyndon Johnson was yesterday sworn in
×ÖÄ» 'as the 36th President of the United States
×ÖÄ» 'following the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Da...'
×ÖÄ» They'll all be watching the news.
×ÖÄ» She's way over budget.
×ÖÄ» No, no - it's more than that.
×ÖÄ» I'm afraid Miss Lambert doesn't know what she's doing.
×ÖÄ» First cavemen, now these silly robots.
×ÖÄ» What are you saying?
×ÖÄ» That you're not to do any more than these four episodes
×ÖÄ» you've already got in production.
×ÖÄ» Kill it, Sydney.
×ÖÄ» Kill Doctor Who.
×ÖÄ» In the village where I lived down there...
×ÖÄ» Reviews were respectable. VERITY: Uh-huh.
×ÖÄ» Ratings too. Respectable.
×ÖÄ» Considering what happened. Mm.
×ÖÄ» Knock at door
×ÖÄ» Sydney wants to see you, Verity.
×ÖÄ» Waris sighs
×ÖÄ» It's my fault. I promoted you too soon.
×ÖÄ» I don't much like the way the show's going.
×ÖÄ» First, goddamn cavemen...
×ÖÄ» No choice, the... And then these...Dayleks. Daleks.
×ÖÄ» Exactly what I wanted to avoid.
×ÖÄ» Cheapjack science fiction trash.
×ÖÄ» Have you read the script? Yes!
×ÖÄ» Really? Well, enough to know garbage when I see it.
×ÖÄ» Jesus. Dorloks. Daleks!
×ÖÄ» Whatever! Bug-eyed...
×ÖÄ» They're not bug-eyed monsters!
×ÖÄ» They used to be like us.
×ÖÄ» Radiation has made them retreat
×ÖÄ» inside these impregnable metal shells,
×ÖÄ» and now they hate everything that isn't like them.
×ÖÄ» All they know how to do is lash out.
×ÖÄ» The Doctor and his friends turn up
×ÖÄ» and try to make them see differently.
×ÖÄ» To understand other people and make peace. It's good stuff!
×ÖÄ» It's strong stuff, Sydney, and I really, truly believe in it.
×ÖÄ» Well, I wanted someone with piss and vinegar.
×ÖÄ» I think we've got something really special here, Sydney.
×ÖÄ» A knockout.
×ÖÄ» We've just got to hold our nerve.
×ÖÄ» Ok.
×ÖÄ» I'll talk to the high-ups.
×ÖÄ» And I want a repeat. What?
×ÖÄ» On Saturday. Repeat episode one before episode two.
×ÖÄ» No-one was watching because of the assassination. Oh, I see!
×ÖÄ» This is Kennedy's fault?
×ÖÄ» We deserve a fair crack of the whip, Sydney.
×ÖÄ» You'd better be right about these...Daleks.
×ÖÄ» Let me be very clear, young lady.
×ÖÄ» Your neck's on the block.
×ÖÄ» Come on, get a move on. It's like a rabbit hutch in here.
×ÖÄ» OK, are you nice and snug?
×ÖÄ» What the hell's that?
×ÖÄ» Monster for the next story.
×ÖÄ» What, a sink plunger and an egg whisk? Oh, well.
×ÖÄ» If they can't take over the universe,
×ÖÄ» might be able whip up a decent omelette.
×ÖÄ» Roll to record in 15, 14...
×ÖÄ» Quiet, please, everyone.
×ÖÄ» Ten, nine, eight, seven,
×ÖÄ» six, five, four...
×ÖÄ» Action!
×ÖÄ» She yelps
×ÖÄ» You will move ahead of us and follow my directions.
×ÖÄ» 'On two.' Immediately!
×ÖÄ» 'Tighter on one.'
×ÖÄ» No, tighter!
×ÖÄ» Stand by, one.
×ÖÄ» 'On one.
×ÖÄ» 'Near three.
×ÖÄ» 'Stand by, two.
×ÖÄ» 'Two.' DALEK: I said immediately!
×ÖÄ» Fire! WEAPON FIRED
×ÖÄ» My legs! DIRECTOR: On two.
×ÖÄ» My legs! DALEK: Your legs are paralysed.
×ÖÄ» You will recover shortly
×ÖÄ» unless you force us to use our weapons again.
×ÖÄ» Well, everyone, meet the Daleks.
×ÖÄ» Gosh, they're creepy, aren't they?
×ÖÄ» They're actually really creepy.
×ÖÄ» Dalek continues speaking on monitor
×ÖÄ» Michael! Dennis!
×ÖÄ» Your tea's getting cold.
×ÖÄ» And that thing you wanted to watch, it's on!
×ÖÄ» Dalek voices emanating from tv
×ÖÄ» THE DOCTOR: Why? Because we weren't
×ÖÄ» aware of it until it was too late, that's why.
×ÖÄ» The truth is that your supply of drugs has failed
×ÖÄ» and you came into the city to see if you could find more.
×ÖÄ» Thals? What are you talking about?
×ÖÄ» We're not Thals, or whatever you may call them.
×ÖÄ» Can't you see we're very ill?
×ÖÄ» You and your companions
×ÖÄ» need a drug to stay alive. We have no gloves.
×ÖÄ» Drugs.
×ÖÄ» You said "Gloves". Eh?
×ÖÄ» Yes, yes. I...I did.
×ÖÄ» Because the Daleks are nasty
×ÖÄ» and you need special gloves to touch them.
×ÖÄ» Y-y-yes.
×ÖÄ» Yes. You know things like that because you're Doctor Who.
×ÖÄ» That's...that's right.
×ÖÄ» Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
×ÖÄ» You will be my prisoner!
×ÖÄ» You won't believe what I
×ÖÄ» saw on the bus this morning. It's...thrilling.
×ÖÄ» Sydney wants you, Verity.
×ÖÄ» Ten million viewers for your bug-eyed monsters.
×ÖÄ» Ten million.
×ÖÄ» So...
×ÖÄ» What do I know about anything?
×ÖÄ» Well done, kid.
×ÖÄ» A bus? What were you doing on a bus?
×ÖÄ» Getting in touch with our audience.
×ÖÄ» Our great, big, fat, enormous bloody audience.
×ÖÄ» They scream and laugh
×ÖÄ» Whoo-hoo!
×ÖÄ» He cheers
×ÖÄ» â™?Walking back to happiness
×ÖÄ» â™?Woopah, oh, yeah-yeah
×ÖÄ» â™?Said goodbye to loneliness... â™? 795 00:49: 00:49:52,230
×ÖÄ» Quickly, child! We're running out of time! Check the fornicator!
×ÖÄ» Fault locator.
×ÖÄ» Laughter
×ÖÄ» OK, I think we'd better hold it there, please.
×ÖÄ» First positions again.
×ÖÄ» Verity. Verity! Look at this.
×ÖÄ» Just look at this.
×ÖÄ» General De Gaulle.
×ÖÄ» "DeGaullek"!
×ÖÄ» That's wonderful! "No! No! No!"
×ÖÄ» We've really got something here. They love us.
×ÖÄ» Lovely stuff, this, you know. Shame it's not in colour.
×ÖÄ» Come on, how much have I won?
×ÖÄ» Ah...
×ÖÄ» 35 elephants, 4,000 white stallions, 25 tigers...
×ÖÄ» And ten bob, you old devil.
×ÖÄ» Right, make-up are nearly done with Kublai Khan's digits,
×ÖÄ» so we'd best press on. What do you think?
×ÖÄ» Whistles of appreciation
×ÖÄ» Wow. Very swish.
×ÖÄ» Do you like it? Gorgeous,
×ÖÄ» Carol. I wonder if they'll let me buy it.
×ÖÄ» It'll turn a few heads on the Kings Road. Oh, God.
×ÖÄ» Something the matter, Bill?
×ÖÄ» You should be more careful, sweetheart,
×ÖÄ» throwing your money around like that.
×ÖÄ» It's an insecure profession, you know.
×ÖÄ» We should all bear that in mind.
×ÖÄ» Fancy anything at Newmarket, Bill?
×ÖÄ» You know what I mean. I'm just saying.
×ÖÄ» Splashing out on new togs all the time,
×ÖÄ» you don't know you're bloody born!
×ÖÄ» I'm not a child. I'll spend it how I like.
×ÖÄ» You're right, of course, Bill.
×ÖÄ» None of us knows how long this is going to last.
×ÖÄ» No-one's irreplaceable.
×ÖÄ» Who told you that? Everyone mentions it.
×ÖÄ» So, you didn't go to RADA?
×ÖÄ» Roedean, darling. Eh? The girls' school.
×ÖÄ» Must have been a typo on my CV.
×ÖÄ» I've not got the heart to tell Sydney.
×ÖÄ» Bill, thank you so much for the flowers.
×ÖÄ» Sorry to see you go, son.
×ÖÄ» So, what's next for you?
×ÖÄ» I've been offered A Passage To India. One-way?
×ÖÄ» Bill, I hope you never change. Bill, Bill, come on.
×ÖÄ» Quiet, please, everybody. Oh, yes. Bit of hush, ladies and gents.
×ÖÄ» Sure you won't stay? Do some more with us? Pastures new.
×ÖÄ» It's been a bloody blast, Verity.
×ÖÄ» Couldn't have done it without you, darling. Shoulder-to-shoulder.
×ÖÄ» I saw you interfering with some dials only last night,
×ÖÄ» so I've decided to show you all the things that you mustn't touch
×ÖÄ» under any circumstances.
×ÖÄ» Exterminate, exterminate!
×ÖÄ» What the bloody hell?!
×ÖÄ» Hello, my darling.
×ÖÄ» What do you think?
×ÖÄ» "Thrills galore.
×ÖÄ» "Full-size, real-life Dalek
×ÖÄ» playsuit from the BBC TV series Doctor Who."
×ÖÄ» Strike a light! "Only 66 shillings and sixpence."
×ÖÄ» Laughter
×ÖÄ» And we have these. Goodness!
×ÖÄ» Man and boy, I've been at this lark.
×ÖÄ» But I've never known anything like it.
×ÖÄ» Incredible.
×ÖÄ» No-one's irreplaceable, eh?
×ÖÄ» So much for softly-softly.
×ÖÄ» At this rate, you'll be running the place.
×ÖÄ» "Dear Uncle Who." Uncle Who!
×ÖÄ» "I've got my...
×ÖÄ» "Physics O-level coming up and I need your help."
×ÖÄ» I don't know why they think I can help them.
×ÖÄ» It's all gobbledygook to me.
×ÖÄ» Please.
×ÖÄ» Doctor Who, can I please have your autograph?
×ÖÄ» Now, then, what's this?
×ÖÄ» An autograph? Teacher said it would be all right.
×ÖÄ» Well, that must make you a very special little boy, um... Alan.
×ÖÄ» Thank you.
×ÖÄ» Please, Doctor?
×ÖÄ» Yes, what is it, um... What is it, Alan?
×ÖÄ» Please, when are them Daleks coming back? Daleks?
×ÖÄ» They're taking over the ruddy world.
×ÖÄ» It's what they do best, isn't it?
×ÖÄ» Oh!
×ÖÄ» Wow! Oh, wow!
×ÖÄ» Goodness me!
×ÖÄ» Come along, come along. Keep up!
×ÖÄ» We must all get back to the TARDIS.
×ÖÄ» What's this? What's this?
×ÖÄ» Look out! What?! Look out! Run, run!
×ÖÄ» Exterminate! Exterminate!
×ÖÄ» Children scream
×ÖÄ» Take three.
×ÖÄ» Cut!
×ÖÄ» Cut! Right, one more, please. Quick as you can.
×ÖÄ» Len, you were nearly off the kerb.
×ÖÄ» Why is it we always seem to have to go again because of YOU?
×ÖÄ» I need a wee, don't I? You try being in here.
×ÖÄ» Reset, let's go again! It's not my fault!
×ÖÄ» Bill. Bill, I thought I might try something
×ÖÄ» when I'm carrying you down the ramp. What?
×ÖÄ» I thought maybe I just throw a look towards you,
×ÖÄ» showing the Roboman's inner turmoil.
×ÖÄ» You know, I was a man once
×ÖÄ» sort of thing, before the Daleks made me like this.
×ÖÄ» What do you think?
×ÖÄ» Don't be so bloody ridiculous. It was just a suggestion.
×ÖÄ» Yes, well, stow it.
×ÖÄ» What's up with you? Mind your own business.
×ÖÄ» Oi, Len! Over here!
×ÖÄ» It's not too late, you know. No, I've made up my mind.
×ÖÄ» They can rewrite this stuff in a shot.
×ÖÄ» It's time to move on, Bill.
×ÖÄ» There's lots of other things I want to do. Well, of course.
×ÖÄ» And there's more to life than just screaming at nasty monsters.
×ÖÄ» That's no way to talk about me.
×ÖÄ» THE DOCTOR: One day, I shall come back.
×ÖÄ» Yes, I shall come back.
×ÖÄ» Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.
×ÖÄ» Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me
×ÖÄ» that I am not mistaken in mine.
×ÖÄ» Goodbye, Susan.
×ÖÄ» Goodbye, my dear.
×ÖÄ» That's lovely, Bill. Really lovely.
×ÖÄ» Doesn't like farewells, does he?
×ÖÄ» Just stepping off for a minute, Waris.
×ÖÄ» Waris? He's been doing that a lot lately.
×ÖÄ» That's it. Look over towards Bill, Maureen.
×ÖÄ» That's it. Smile over here, please. Big smile!
×ÖÄ» Cheers!
×ÖÄ» One more. One more! Just look at Bill.
×ÖÄ» Dog barks
×ÖÄ» You look all-in.
×ÖÄ» Mm.
×ÖÄ» Come on, love. Why don't you get your head down?
×ÖÄ» We can go through this in the morning.
×ÖÄ» No, no. Got to get 'em in.
×ÖÄ» Got to.
×ÖÄ» Maybe it's time you thought about moving on, love.
×ÖÄ» Moving on?
×ÖÄ» You're shattered all the time.
×ÖÄ» I can't! Even if I wanted to. They're all relying on me.
×ÖÄ» Hundreds of people, aren't they? And all those kiddies out there.
×ÖÄ» You can't have Doctor Who without Doctor Who, can you? Come on.
×ÖÄ» Vortis? What galaxy is that in?
×ÖÄ» The Isop Galaxy, Chesterton.
×ÖÄ» It's many... Many. ..Many...light years... Away...away.
×ÖÄ» Owl hoots
×ÖÄ» Coughing
×ÖÄ» 'He is becoming delirious. I do not understand his words.'
×ÖÄ» Bill mustn't know I've spoken to you. He'd play merry hell.
×ÖÄ» What's the matter?
×ÖÄ» Our GP rang.
×ÖÄ» Bill's not very well.
×ÖÄ» Oh, dear. Nothing serious?
×ÖÄ» Not in the short-term. It's, um...
×ÖÄ» er...arteriosclerosis.
×ÖÄ» It's a hardening of the arteries.
×ÖÄ» I see.
×ÖÄ» He smokes too much. Drinks too much.
×ÖÄ» And these days, the only exercise he gets is walking the dog.
×ÖÄ» That, plus doing Doctor Who virtually all year...
×ÖÄ» Do you think he should stop?
×ÖÄ» No. No, he couldn't bear that. He loves the programme.
×ÖÄ» He's so proud of it. And all of you. You should hear him.
×ÖÄ» But if there's anything you can do
×ÖÄ» to lift the burden from his shoulders,
×ÖÄ» you know, let him slow down a little.
×ÖÄ» Well...I'll have a quiet word with my successor.
×ÖÄ» Oh.
×ÖÄ» Oh. I see.
×ÖÄ» Vortis? What galaxy is that in?
×ÖÄ» The Isop Galaxy, Chesterfield. Chesterton!
×ÖÄ» Many, many light earths... light years...
×ÖÄ» from us.
×ÖÄ» From...from Earth. And yet the...Vortis...
×ÖÄ» Vortis planet hasn't a moon.
×ÖÄ» Hm? Eh?
×ÖÄ» Right, hold it there, please!
×ÖÄ» All this stuff, I can do it with a look.
×ÖÄ» Bill, I really think we should stick with what's on the page.
×ÖÄ» Verity. I can do all this with a look, you know.
×ÖÄ» I don't need all these lines.
×ÖÄ» It's like ruddy King Lear!
×ÖÄ» I remember Lindsay Anderson saying the same thing about me
×ÖÄ» on Sporting Life.
×ÖÄ» He just ripped a couple of pages out of the script.
×ÖÄ» "Bill can do all this with a gesture," You see.
×ÖÄ» "A raised eyebrow." Do you see what I mean?
×ÖÄ» Of course.
×ÖÄ» Bless you.
×ÖÄ» Actually, I'm glad to have the chance to talk to you, Bill...
×ÖÄ» You're my rock, Verity. Oh... You know that. My rock.
×ÖÄ» I don't know about that...
×ÖÄ» Since that day you first started telling me about Doctor Who,
×ÖÄ» I've been spellbound.
×ÖÄ» Spellbound! But look at us now, eh? Just look at us!
×ÖÄ» Our arses are in butter!
×ÖÄ» What did you want to tell me?
×ÖÄ» Laughter
×ÖÄ» ..Which, of course, was her way of saying take a hike!
×ÖÄ» So, I am justifiably proud of myself.
×ÖÄ» I can spot talent light years away.
×ÖÄ» Ladies and gentlemen, Verity.
×ÖÄ» Best goddamn appointment I've ever made.
×ÖÄ» Cheering and applause
×ÖÄ» Verity!
×ÖÄ» â™?For she's a jolly good fellow
×ÖÄ» â™?And so say all of us!
×ÖÄ» â™?For she's a jolly good fellow
×ÖÄ» â™?And so say all of us. â™?
×ÖÄ» 1008 01:04: 01:04:43,150 Not joining us?
×ÖÄ» Perhaps in a minute.
×ÖÄ» Bill, I wanted to say thank you.
×ÖÄ» For everything you've done.
×ÖÄ» I'm in demand and it's all down to you. Oh, nonsense.
×ÖÄ» In no small measure, Bill. Doctor Who has made me.
×ÖÄ» But why does it have to change?
×ÖÄ» Why do things always have to change?
×ÖÄ» Why can't we just go on as we are?
×ÖÄ» Life.
×ÖÄ» What about you? Not ready for a rest?
×ÖÄ» Me? No. No. Not a bit.
×ÖÄ» This old body of mine is good for a few years yet!
×ÖÄ» SHE SIGHS I'm going to miss all this.
×ÖÄ» You've got, erm...
×ÖÄ» Oh.
×ÖÄ» Let me.
×ÖÄ» What am I going to do without you?
×ÖÄ» Till we meet again.
×ÖÄ» That's it. Everybody ready?
×ÖÄ» Smile! Mr Purves... Jackie... Look at each other.
×ÖÄ» That's it. Lovely! Peter, give us a smile. Lovely.
×ÖÄ» All right, when you're ready, Bill.
×ÖÄ» Mr Hartnell to you, sonny.
×ÖÄ» Sorry.
×ÖÄ» You might call me by my
×ÖÄ» first name if we get to know each other better.
×ÖÄ» If you... if you last on my show, that is.
×ÖÄ» Can we go from the top of the scene, Mr Hartnell?
×ÖÄ» You make the TV screen come on. The scanner.
×ÖÄ» Scanner, right.
×ÖÄ» And then you flick the switch and the doors open.
×ÖÄ» No, no. Can't do that. Beg pardon?
×ÖÄ» I'd have to move round to the other side.
×ÖÄ» That's where the door switch is.
×ÖÄ» Does it matter? Of course it matters!
×ÖÄ» All right. We'll work around it. You move where you like...
×ÖÄ» Mr Hartnell. Thank you. I will.
×ÖÄ» OK. Top of the scene, then.
×ÖÄ» The glass cylinder should be going up and down.
×ÖÄ» The ship is in flight. Right. Yes. Sorry.
×ÖÄ» Well? Sorry. Be right with you.
×ÖÄ» Anybody know how to make it go?
×ÖÄ» For Christ's sake! Doesn't anyone know how to do anything?
×ÖÄ» Out you go, out, out. I'll sort it myself.
×ÖÄ» He breathes heavily
×ÖÄ» Red light, and bell. BELL RINGS
×ÖÄ» Roll to record.
×ÖÄ» In 15, 14...
×ÖÄ» Quiet, please, everyone.
×ÖÄ» OK, everyone ready? Ready now.
×ÖÄ» There's a... Ten...
×ÖÄ» ..A lot of people dancing about in my eyeline.
×ÖÄ» It's very off-putting. Do you mind? Thank you...five, four...
×ÖÄ» Now...they've all gone.
×ÖÄ» All gone.
×ÖÄ» None of them ever understood. Not even young Susan, or...
×ÖÄ» ..Or V-V-Vicki.
×ÖÄ» And then there's Barbara and Chatterton...
×ÖÄ» Ch-Ch-Chesterton!
×ÖÄ» Perhaps I should go back to my own time.
×ÖÄ» To my own planet.
×ÖÄ» But I...
×ÖÄ» I can't...
×ÖÄ» Is everything OK?
×ÖÄ» I, er...I can't...
×ÖÄ» Are you all right?
×ÖÄ» I...
×ÖÄ» I can't...
×ÖÄ» Mr Hartnell? I, er...
×ÖÄ» Mr Hartnell?
×ÖÄ» Anneke! Anneke, turn to me, love. Turn to me. Thanks, love.
×ÖÄ» I could get used to this. How about you?
×ÖÄ» As you can see... Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
×ÖÄ» It can't go on. He's become so difficult to work with.
×ÖÄ» And his lines... I hear you!
×ÖÄ» The poor man's worn out.
×ÖÄ» Shame. Goddamn shame.
×ÖÄ» So, that's that, I suppose. What do you mean?
×ÖÄ» Well, we can't have Doctor Who without Doctor Who, can we?
×ÖÄ» Pop, pop, pop.
×ÖÄ» Sampa! Sampa! Sampa! Oh, hello there.
×ÖÄ» Where are you going to take the TARDIS next, Sampa?
×ÖÄ» Oh, I don't know, darling.
×ÖÄ» Miss says you should go back in time and see Oliver Cromwell
×ÖÄ» and tell him not to be so horrible.
×ÖÄ» Yes, maybe I should.
×ÖÄ» But I want the butterfly men to come back! They were pretty.
×ÖÄ» We did them at school and I was a Zarbi.
×ÖÄ» Listen, Judi... They could have a big fight with the Daleks
×ÖÄ» and you could fly on their backs with a bow and arrow.
×ÖÄ» Listen, darling.
×ÖÄ» You mustn't expect too much from your old grandfather, you know.
×ÖÄ» I get very tired these days and, er...
×ÖÄ» Graham Potter says the TARDIS will run out of petrol soon.
×ÖÄ» I need to take things a bit easier. But I told him he was stupid.
×ÖÄ» The TARDIS will go on and
×ÖÄ» on for ever because it's special and magic.
×ÖÄ» Like my Sampa. Well, I...
×ÖÄ» My Sampa's Doctor Who and he can do anything.
×ÖÄ» I hope you don't think it presumptuous of me
×ÖÄ» to ask for this meeting, Sydney...
×ÖÄ» Presumptuous? Hell, no, Bill.
×ÖÄ» I was going to ask you to come in, as it happens. Oh, yes?
×ÖÄ» Yeah. Yeah. Things...
×ÖÄ» Things can't go on the way they are.
×ÖÄ» Exactly! Exactly, Sydney!
×ÖÄ» I'm committed to Doctor Who, 100% committed, but...
×ÖÄ» ..Well, I need more time off.
×ÖÄ» Bloody schedule would kill a man half my age.
×ÖÄ» A-ha. All those lines they give me.
×ÖÄ» The kiddies don't want to hear all that waffle.
×ÖÄ» But perhaps it would be best if the writers just...
×ÖÄ» sort of sketched in the story and left me to make up the rest.
×ÖÄ» No, no. That's probably a step too far.
×ÖÄ» But you take my meaning. I'm the star of the show.
×ÖÄ» I'm the Doctor.
×ÖÄ» And, er, if we're to continue, you have to take account of that.
×ÖÄ» Proper account.
×ÖÄ» We've got great plans for Doctor Who, Bill, believe you me.
×ÖÄ» Great plans. Well, I'm, er...
×ÖÄ» We're 100% committed too. Very glad to hear it.
×ÖÄ» But we're looking at ways of refreshing it.
×ÖÄ» Um...regenerating it.
×ÖÄ» Well, yes. Quite right. Spice things up a bit. Bill...
×ÖÄ» I'm glad we're on the same wavelength anyway.
×ÖÄ» Ah, hell, Bill, there's no easy way of saying this. Um...
×ÖÄ» We want Doctor Who to go on.
×ÖÄ» Yes.
×ÖÄ» But not with you.
×ÖÄ» Like you said, things have got to change.
×ÖÄ» I see.
×ÖÄ» Who...who have you got in mind?
×ÖÄ» You're a hard act to follow, Bill.
×ÖÄ» No need for soft soap, Sydney. You know me better.
×ÖÄ» Who?
×ÖÄ» You approve?
×ÖÄ» Oh, yes, yes, quite. Patrick Troughton.
×ÖÄ» Excellent choice.
×ÖÄ» I'm so sorry, Bill.
×ÖÄ» "Fortune, good night, smile once more, turn thy wheel."
×ÖÄ» Huh?
×ÖÄ» King Lear. I did it once. Carried a spear.
×ÖÄ» Long time ago.
×ÖÄ» Long, long time ago.
×ÖÄ» Footsteps approach
×ÖÄ» Everything all right, sir?
×ÖÄ» Are you OK?
×ÖÄ» You need to move along now, sir.
×ÖÄ» Sir? HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
×ÖÄ» You're in the way.
×ÖÄ» I'm sorry, sir, but... 'Ere, aren't you...?
×ÖÄ» I'm, er, sorry, very sorry, officer.
×ÖÄ» You're him, aren't you? Very sorry, officer.
×ÖÄ» You're Doctor Who.
×ÖÄ» Wait till I tell the kids. They bloomin' love you!
×ÖÄ» Well, it's, er, been agreed by, um...
×ÖÄ» by mutual consent that I should, er...pack it in.
×ÖÄ» Er...
×ÖÄ» Oh, right. Give it up.
×ÖÄ» I see.
×ÖÄ» Well...I think it's for the best, love. Truly, I do.
×ÖÄ» You can't go on like this.
×ÖÄ» And I've made my mark. Shown everyone I can do it.
×ÖÄ» I'm sure it'll lead to lots more interesting stuff, hm?
×ÖÄ» Yes.
×ÖÄ» Well, I'll make us a nice cup of tea.
×ÖÄ» I...i...
×ÖÄ» I don't want to go.
×ÖÄ» I...I don't want to go.
×ÖÄ» Oh...
×ÖÄ» Oh, Bill.
×ÖÄ» He sobs
×ÖÄ» He clears his throat
×ÖÄ» Well, then. Who's Who? HE CHUCKLES
×ÖÄ» I won't lie to you. I'm scared stiff.
×ÖÄ» Oh, you'll be fine. In fact, you'll be wonderful.
×ÖÄ» I...I told them, you know,
×ÖÄ» there's only one man in England who can take over.
×ÖÄ» Oh? Couldn't they get him?
×ÖÄ» Laughter
×ÖÄ» Red light, and bell. BELL RINGS
×ÖÄ» OK, positions, everyone, please. And roll to record in 15...
×ÖÄ» Metallic thrumming
×ÖÄ» 'I want you to belong somewhere, to have roots of your own.
×ÖÄ» 'With David, you'll be able to find those roots,
×ÖÄ» 'live normally, like any woman should do.
×ÖÄ» 'Believe me, my dear, your future lies with David
×ÖÄ» 'and not with a silly old buffer like me.
×ÖÄ» 'One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back.
×ÖÄ» 'Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.
×ÖÄ» 'Just go forward in all your beliefs
×ÖÄ» 'and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.'
×ÖÄ» This is your debut in pantomime.
×ÖÄ» Do you see your future in pantomime?
×ÖÄ» No, no.
×ÖÄ» What qualities are there
×ÖÄ» in pantomime that you feel you haven't got?
×ÖÄ» It's a different technique which lends itself only
×ÖÄ» to what I call a variety type of actor,
×ÖÄ» the actor who is used to playing on his own in a front cloth,
×ÖÄ» which is a variety actor.
×ÖÄ» But I'm not. I'm legitimate. I'm a legitimate character actor.
×ÖÄ» It was kind of a strange thing to do after the show,
×ÖÄ» but there were so many kids, I suppose,
×ÖÄ» who wanted to see the character again
×ÖÄ» and I remember just being in the audience
×ÖÄ» when all the kids go up to the
×ÖÄ» front and he threw sweets out to the children,
×ÖÄ» and I remember catching his eye and catching a sweet.
×ÖÄ» My memories of him are really muddled up with Doctor Who.
×ÖÄ» The character that we saw on the television screen
×ÖÄ» was my grandfather.
×ÖÄ» I think he came to love playing the Doctor.
×ÖÄ» But it so much captured
×ÖÄ» the public imagination. I know it did, yes.
×ÖÄ» Do you think you'll ever shake it off? Oh, yeah. How? Of course.
×ÖÄ» By making a success in something else.
×ÖÄ» SHE CHUCKLES Why do you think children like you?
×ÖÄ» Because you're rather a grumpy sort of person.
×ÖÄ» They find me a cross between the Wizard of Oz
×ÖÄ» and Father Christmas, you know.
×ÖÄ» He was a grumpy old man.
×ÖÄ» We were rehearsing and something happened and he went totally
×ÖÄ» and they cancelled the rest of the rehearsal.
×ÖÄ» He came in the next day
×ÖÄ» and he came in with three
×ÖÄ» little posies of flowers for the ladies.
×ÖÄ» He obviously thought, "What can I take the chaps?"
×ÖÄ» And he came in with a tin of biscuits.
×ÖÄ» I found that so moving, somehow.
×ÖÄ» It was his grumpy way of saying, "I'm sorry."
×ÖÄ» The difficulty is asking an actor to play eccentric
×ÖÄ» because then they start to be ACTING.
×ÖÄ» Bill Hartnell wasn't acting it.
×ÖÄ» He was just implicitly, in his own way, eccentric.
×ÖÄ» The whole thing about Bill was that he was so unpredictable.
×ÖÄ» You'd didn't know what he was going to do.
×ÖÄ» There was this mystery about him.
×ÖÄ» I knew he wasn't well when he was working with me.
×ÖÄ» You could really see the stress and strain on him.
×ÖÄ» I discovered later that he had
×ÖÄ» really been suffering from
×ÖÄ» something which caused him to have memory loss.
×ÖÄ» I was very sad that he left the show.
×ÖÄ» That must have been an absolute body blow to him.
×ÖÄ» Oh, so you're my replacements. A dandy and a clown.
×ÖÄ» When they decided to make the 10th anniversary programme,
×ÖÄ» my grandfather had deteriorated quite a lot.
×ÖÄ» He was not fully aware of how poorly he was.
×ÖÄ» Barry Letts, my producer, and I contacted Patrick Troughton
×ÖÄ» and he rang up William Hartnell
×ÖÄ» and William Hartnell was very keen too.
×ÖÄ» He said, "Yes, yes, be very happy to do it, love to do it."
×ÖÄ» I believe my grandmother had to intervene and say,
×ÖÄ» "Look, he's not really well enough to cope with learning lines
×ÖÄ» "And all that," But they devised a way to make it possible.
×ÖÄ» There were prompt boards in front of him for every line
×ÖÄ» and somebody would hold it up and Billy would say the line
×ÖÄ» and then there would be another line and another line.
×ÖÄ» Yes, well, the party's over now.
×ÖÄ» You young men and I go back to our time zones.
×ÖÄ» Though, considering the way things have been going, well,
×ÖÄ» I shudder to think what you will do without me.
×ÖÄ» I think Doctor Who gave him the opportunity to spread his wings,
×ÖÄ» to be childlike and to
×ÖÄ» expand and to play around with the eccentricity
×ÖÄ» and the wonder of it all.
×ÖÄ» It's clear that he actually loved it.
×ÖÄ» The funny thing to think of is that up until the point
×ÖÄ» Patrick Troughton took over, there was only a Doctor.
×ÖÄ» He is the original.
×ÖÄ» The legacy of the way that
×ÖÄ» he established the Doctor is still with us.
×ÖÄ» Absolutely nobody else has been anything like him.
×ÖÄ» A magic, a mystery.
×ÖÄ» You were never quite sure what was going to happen next with him.
×ÖÄ» Those of us who watched him over those first three years,
×ÖÄ» even though he was grumpy and rather distant,
×ÖÄ» he was still our Doctor.
×ÖÄ» The fact that Doctor Who
×ÖÄ» is still being made today, as we speak...
×ÖÄ» extraordinary, really.
×ÖÄ» I think it's a testament to William's Doctor
×ÖÄ» and I'm very proud to be part of it.
×ÖÄ» I think he would be so tickled pink that the character
×ÖÄ» he helped create is still thrilling audiences today.
×ÖÄ» He'd have been so, so thrilled by that.
