(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(CROWD CHEERING)
What?
(ALL CHEERING LOUDLY)
All right, now. Please be quiet just for one moment, huh?
I am delighted to be in the province this afternoon.
I am delighted, actually, by my reception.
It's quite nice to be received like this.
(CHILDREN CHEERING AND WHISTLING)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Whose is that?
I believe for a time traveller you had some difficulty getting here.
I did, yes, the aeroplane was strangely late taking off
and then the mayor's car mysteriously seized up on the way.
(LAUGHING)
Where is the Tardis heading to next?
Do you know, I don't know. I never know, you see.
I work on four or six scripts at a time.
I don't know where I'm going at all.
Are you delighted with the welcome you've got here with your Tardis?
Oh, yes, wow. Look at it. Isn't that amazing?
Wonderful! Wonderful.
Are you impressed by Derry?
I'm impressed by the people of Derry, I don't really much...
I'm not really much impressed by places. It's very pretty round here.
I think the whole province is very pretty.
Over the water, it's not realised how beautiful the whole province is,
actually, but the people,
which is what's important about Derry, yes, they're wonderful.
Well, I'm sure they're delighted to have you. You're welcome back any time.
That's it. Mersey Street Primary School.
- Good morning. - Good morning, Doctor.
BAKER: Here we are.
Ooh!
I'm very excited to be here.
(LAUGHING)
Why are you all smiling?
(CHILDREN LAUGHING)
Gosh, I can hardly believe it.
- (CHILDREN GIGGLING) - Can you believe it?
- Yes. - You can?
- How old are you tomorrow? - MARK: Eleven.
Eleven. That's a good age, 11, isn't it?
Are you the oldest in the class?
BAKER: You don't know? All right.
Here's a birthday present for you, Mark.
Happy Birthday. Eleven tomorrow.
Eleven tomorrow.
- TEACHER: What do you say, Mark? - Thank you.
Oh, you're very welcome.
They're all looking terribly suspicious.
- (CHILDREN LAUGHING) - BAKER: What did you say?
BOY: Put it on me and I'll be a cowboy.
Put it on you and you'll be a cowboy? There we are.
There we are. Yeah. It looks very good.
(LAUGHS)
You can have more if you want to. (LAUGHS)
- Are you going to take that? - Thank you very much.
Well, it's so nice to see you. Can I have my hat?
- We'll put that up on our wall. - Good.
Goodbye.
- TEACHER: Bye-bye. Thank you. - Goodbye, Jen.
It was nice to see you. (LAUGHS)
Well, it was just marvellous.
The children all seemed very pleased about it.
And I was very pleased to see them. We were both very pleased. (LAUGHS)
Were you actually mauled in the process?
No, no, I wasn't. They're very, uh... They were a bit
overawed at first and then suddenly in a few seconds,
they suddenly come to life and begin to laugh and ask questions.
- What sort of questions? - They always ask the same questions.
They ask about the dog and they ask me about my scarf
and they ask me how tall I am and how old I am.
Let me see how long that scarf is.
It's 19 feet 1.
Can I come in?
Come on, right now.
(CHILDREN LAUGHING)
(CHILDREN CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)
(LADIES LAUGHING)
(INAUDIBLE)
All the bad news we get out of Belfast and I come to Belfast
and feel more welcome than anywhere else I've ever been.
- Isn't that lovely, yes? - WOMAN: We're not all bad.
When you're on your travels, you never seem to me
to know exactly where you're going.
Have you come here by accident, in fact?
No, no, I haven't come here by accident. I've never been to Northern Ireland.
And I got three days off work.
I start back on Saturday, I think.
And, um, I thought, with the office I work for,
- let's go to Belfast and see the people. - (CROWD LAUGHING)
Have you seen any prospective travelling companions
on your tour around Belfast today?
Oh, yes, I have, actually, yes.
I've had several offers, as a matter of fact.
I bet Mrs Simpson would have come with me like a shot!
Yeah. Maybe that would be a very good idea.
To have a pensioner as a companion.
INTERVIEWER: What about yourself? Are you going to be reincarnated again?
We've had three different-looking Doctor Whos, all the same person of course.
Yeah. No, no. I am with it forever, I suppose.
I'm on a 22-year contract. I think it's 22 years, or perhaps not.
But I'm on for a long time yet.
- But time is nothing to a Time Lord. - Nothing! Nothing at all.
May I come in, then?
- Hello. - WOMAN: Hi, nice to meet you.
Please.
- Mrs Little. - Mrs Little?
(CROWD LAUGHING)
That's not at all unflattering.
Thanks a lot.
WOMAN: Bye-bye. BAKER: Goodbye, Mrs Little.
You with freckles?
Whose is that one there?
Okay.
One for Jane.
- Who's this? - This is Leslie Deveney.
Leslie Deveney. Hello, Leslie. How are you?
You're looking not bad at all.
Do you want to try my hat on while I get you a badge out?
