Shortly after TOMB OF THE CYBERMEN was shown, Kit Pedler had submitted a brief storyline called The Space Wheel. Bryant hoped to use it when he had fully taken over from Innis Lloyd. Because Pedler was unavailable to write for the plotline, Script-editer Derrick Sherwin contracted David Whitaker who agreed to write it into a six-part serial. This is the story that features the Cyber-planner as the boss, and, mainly, two Cybermen are the enemies thoughout the story. The main problem was that two days before production was due to go into studio, the scene-shifters union decided to on strike. Hence most of this was recorded at Ealing and Shepperton studios instead of the BBC ones. The BBC special effects department refused to be involved with production because of the work that they would have to input for this story. While it is remembered for the story that "any monster would do" it also is the first story to introduce the second Doctor`s last female companion - Zoe Herriot. Chosen to star as Zoe was Wendy Padbury, who went on to star with Patrick Troughton and Frazier Hines up to the end of the second Doctor`s era in THE WAR GAMES, in June 1969. ___ Blue Wave/386 v2.30 -*- SF-Quick/BW 1.00r [#48] --- Alexi/Mail 2.02b (#10000) * Origin: COLUMBIA SPITFIRE * Dallas, Texas * (214-275-5040) (1:124/3271) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 270 DR WHO/BRIT SCIF Ref: EFG00003Date: 11/11/97 From: ARTIMUS BROWN Time: 12:48pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: The Wheel In Space 1/6 ___________________________________ THE WHEEL IN SPACE Episode 1 written by David Whitaker from a story by Kit Pedler First Broadcast: 27th April, 1968 ___________________________________ 1. North Sea Coast (The TARDIS hovers motionless over the sea, a few hundred yards from the coastline.) ___________________________________ 2. Interior, the TARDIS JAMIE looks at the scanner, which shows a forlorn VICTORIA waving sadly from the beach. The DOCTOR sets the controls behind him.) JAMIE: We can't just leave her! DOCTOR: We're not leaving her, Jamie. It was her decision to stay. JAMIE: Oh! DOCTOR: She'll be perfectly alright with the Harrises. Now don't worry so much. JAMIE: I'm not, I'm just... och, come on, let's go. DOCTOR: Well, where would you like to go? JAMIE: Hmm? I couldn't care less. (He stares at the DOCTOR for a moment, almost scornfully. The DOCTOR is hurt by the implied accusation.) DOCTOR: I was fond of her too, you know, Jamie! (He operates a control, and the TARDIS dematerialises. As the craft takes off, JAMIE miserably watches VICTORIA's form rapidly diminish.) ___________________________________ 3. Interior, the TARDIS (Some time later. The DOCTOR is at the controls; JAMIE stands nearby, not paying attention.) DOCTOR: Jamie, we're landing... Jamie! JAMIE: Huh? DOCTOR: We're landing! JAMIE: Oh. (He sounds distinctly disinterested.) DOCTOR: Let's have a look at the scanner, shall we? (The DOCTOR turns on the scanner - the screen is totally blank. This does get JAMIE's attention.) JAMIE: I thought you said we'd landed? DOCTOR: Well yes, we are, but I... I seem to have lost the picture. Let's... try a little bit more power, shall we? (He operates another control. Nothing happens.) JAMIE: You sure you're pushing the right one? DOCTOR: Yes, of course I am. Look at the fault indicator, will you? It's round there on the left. (JAMIE looks at the display the DOCTOR is pointing out.) JAMIE: Well it's alright here. DOCTOR: No movement at all? JAMIE: No. (The DOCTOR checks some of the other instruments.) DOCTOR: Well, that's funny - the air's alright, the temperature's perfectly normal... there seems to be rather a lot of metal all around us... JAMIE: What? Oh, you know I can't hear you when you talk to yourself! DOCTOR: There we are, it's coming up now. (They look at the scanner, which is now beginning to register. The picture slowly focuses to show an idyllic lake scene. Sunlight shines down on the crystal-clear water, and a flock of cranes rises from the surface and flies gently away. The DOCTOR chuckles with pleasure.) JAMIE: Hey, now that looks alright! Boy!... Look at it... (The picture changes to an enormous moonlit waterfall.) ...why, what's that?... The size of it! DOCTOR: Well that's funny, it's changed to night now! JAMIE: That's a wee bit quick, isn't it?... (As they watch, the picture changes again, this time to a tropical island scene, with white sand on the beach and palms waving in a gentle breeze.) Look, it's changed again! What's going on? DOCTOR: Oh dear. Those pictures aren't what's happening outside, I'm certain of that. JAMIE: Well why do they keep appearing then? DOCTOR: They're temptations. JAMIE: Eh? DOCTOR: The TARDIS is trying to warn us to get away from here to somewhere more pleasant. I must have pushed the wrong switch. (JAMIE has been glancing back at the console, and quickly interrupts the DOCTOR.) JAMIE: The red light's stopped flashing. DOCTOR: What! JAMIE: Something must be wrong! DOCTOR: What? (He looks at the fault indicator - its oscilloscope reading is showing a chaotic pattern.) Well the power's overloading... The power lines are overloading! (He looks frantically as vapour begins leaking out from the panels under the central column, then something in the console explodes, sending clouds of gas pouring into the control room. The DOCTOR yells.) The fluid link's gone! JAMIE: Doctor, come over here! (They both head for the far wall, coughing and spluttering in the fumes. The gas is now almost filling the room.) DOCTOR: The mercury's vaporising! We've got to get out of here, come on! JAMIE: But how? (They struggle towards the main doors. The DOCTOR presses a panel near the doors, and a concealed wall panel opens. A small, rod-shaped component is connected inside the panel.) DOCTOR: Hold on to me. JAMIE: What are you going to do? (Gas is still flooding into the room, and the DOCTOR and JAMIE can hardly breathe. The DOCTOR disconnects the rod-like component. The control room groans, pulses, and begins to shrink in size; the central console fills more and more of the available space and threatens to crush the two travellers. The doors also shrink; as soon as they are small enough, the DOCTOR pushes them open and he and JAMIE dive through to safety.) ___________________________________ 4. Exterior, the TARDIS (They emerge, still coughing and spluttering, into a narrow metal-walled corridor. The TARDIS stands against one wall; an open hatchway stands a short distance down the corridor.) JAMIE: What happened to the TARDIS? DOCTOR: I disengaged the time vector generator. JAMIE: The what? DOCTOR: Well once removed, it alters the size of the TARDIS. The inside becomes an ordinary telephone box again. Come along, come and sit down. (JAMIE, still suffering the effects of the mercury vapour, sits on a nearby ledge.) If I hadn't have done, the mercury vapour would have killed us. (JAMIE looks around and take in the surroundings.) JAMIE: Well where are we? DOCTOR: Well... it looks like the motor section of some kind of rocket. JAMIE: A rocket? (Now recovered, he gets to his feet again.) DOCTOR: Yes. Yes, there's an artificial gravity system too. JAMIE: What does that do? DOCTOR: Well, it's what keeps us on our feet. Otherwise we'd be floating around. JAMIE: Oh. There's no water around, is there? DOCTOR: Water? No, not in here, Jamie. (He pauses.) There's no movement either, is there? JAMIE: We're on the ground, then. DOCTOR: Yes, I expect so. (He suddenly sucks in his breath.) Oh! JAMIE: What's the matter? (The DOCTOR digs frantically in his pockets.) Well don't keep me in suspense, what's the matter? (The DOCTOR quickly pulls out a paper bag, and hold it out to JAMIE.) DOCTOR: Have a lemon sherbet. It'll quench your thirst. (JAMIE gives the DOCTOR a death stare, and takes a sweet.) ___________________________________ 5. Corridor (Moments later. The DOCTOR and JAMIE investigate another corridor in the rocket.) JAMIE: Doctor, the warning mechanism obviously thought there was something wrong out here, but what? I mean, everything's so... dead, isn't it? (The DOCTOR notices marks on the ground ahead.) DOCTOR: Hey, Jamie! JAMIE: What? DOCTOR: Look! (He examines the mark, which streches in a straight line along the corridor towards a closed hatch.) It's a track! Why, that's oil - it must be some sort of machine! It's recent, too. JAMIE: Well, I wonder what that would... (As he talks, he follows the track to the hatch and absent-mindedly presses a button on the wall. The hatch slides open with a loud electronic hum. JAMIE jumps back in surprise, then cautiously approaches the door. It leads to another section of corridor, similar to this one. They both go through the hatchway.) ___________________________________ 6. Corridor (They emerge into the next corridor. The oil tracks lead to a closed door in the wall at the far end of the corridor. The DOCTOR and JAMIE advance stealthily to the far door, passing two closed hatches in the wall on their right; the DOCTOR listens carefully at the door.) JAMIE: D'you open the door? DOCTOR: No, no. There may be something on the other side. (He turns to examine a bank of monitors just to the left of the door. Here we are. (The DOCTOR fiddles with a few controls, and one of the screens lights up to show the room beyond the door - it appears to be a control room, a large area covered in shadows. A small cockpit is in the foreground, filled with controls and computer banks. The whole room looks deserted.) JAMIE: Looks safe enough. DOCTOR: Yes - now what caused the defence mechanism of the TARDIS to register danger then, hm? And where's the crew? And what's this track? There's plenty of air in there. Let's try and get in. (He tries a number of controls. JAMIE tries to help, but the DOCTOR waves him away with a chuckle.) JAMIE: I'll... look up here, then. (JAMIE goes over to the two closed hatches in the right-hand wall. He pushes a button to open the first - the room beyond is stacked full of metal containers. He glances at a few labels, then shuts the door. Behind him, the DOCTOR gives up with the monitor controls and goes to open the second hatch.) JAMIE: Stores in that one. DOCTOR: It's living quarters here. (They go in, shutting the hatch behind them.) ___________________________________ 7. Cabin (The room they enter is a living cabin for two people. Two bunks are pushed against the right wall, with a table and two padded chairs occupying the middle of the room. Against the far wall is a dispensing machine. JAMIE goes to the machine and reads a label.) JAMIE: Ah - water! ___________________________________ 8. Control Room (Inside the rocket's control room, something emerges from the shadows. It is a small, squat object, metallic but built in a humanoid shape, with head, chest and short legs - clearly a ROBOT. A light on its shoulder starts flashing at some unseen signal and it emits a grating variably-pitched electronic noise. It trundles along the oil tracks to the door; a sensor lights up and the door slides open. It moves silently into the corridor.) ___________________________________ 9. Cabin (The DOCTOR stands by the cabin's observation port, at present covered with a small metal screen, which he is in the process of unscrewing.) JAMIE: I'd have thought a rocket this size would have carried more than two people. DOCTOR: Yes, Jamie, it does. It carries four - two on duty and two resting. JAMIE: Oh, the TARDIS must have gone mad, then. I mean, there's nothing on board here, so there's no danger. (The DOCTOR has now removed the metal cover, and is looking through the port.) DOCTOR: Isn't there? We're just drifting, Jamie - drifting aimlessly in space. (He stands back for JAMIE to look - the observation port shows only distant stars and the blackness of space.) Perhaps that's what the TARDIS was trying to warn us about. JAMIE: What's it matter? DOCTOR: Matter? We're just a piece of space flotsam, don't you realise that? JAMIE: Well alright, stick your rod... dimen- DOCTOR: Time vector generator. JAMIE: Aye, stick it back in, and we'll float off somewhere else! DOCTOR: No, it's not as sa- simple as that, Jamie. The fluid, hm? We need mercury to refill it, don't we? JAMIE: Well there must be some on board here, surely? DOCTOR: Yes - I hope so. JAMIE: Well there's got to be! DOCTOR: What's happened to the crew? They haven't just gone out for a little constitutional, you know. JAMIE: Well, we won't find that out till we look inside that control room, will we? ___________________________________ 10. Corridor (Away from the corridor by the control room, the ROBOT still trundles along the oil tracks, its sensors emitting the occasional electronic bleep.) ___________________________________ 11. Cabin (The DOCTOR returns from the corridor outside to join JAMIE.) DOCTOR: Well I've searched my side; there's not a drop of mercury anywhere. JAMIE: Me too. No, the only place we haven't searched is that control room. DOCTOR: Well, we'll have a breather, and then we'll try in there. JAMIE: And perhaps we'll find some food in that machine as well. (He indicates the dispensing machine.) DOCTOR: I can give you another lemon drop. JAMIE: Er, something a bit more substantial, please! DOCTOR: What d'you fancy? JAMIE: Well right now I'd like a nice plate of roast beef with all the trimmings. DOCTOR: I'll see what I can do, hm? JAMIE: Eh? Ah now Doctor, where are you gonna find a plate of roast beef on this place? (The DOCTOR smiles, walks over to the dispenser and presses some buttons.) What you doing? DOCTOR: Roast beef, you said? (The machine starts humming.) JAMIE: (dubiously) Well yes. DOCTOR: What vegetables, hm? JAMIE: Potatoes and cabbage. DOCTOR: ...And cabbage. (He presses more buttons.) What about a drop of fruit salad? JAMIE: Fruit salad, yes! (The DOCTOR chuckles in anticipation.) DOCTOR: And I'll have some pork, potatoes and carrots. And, uh, I'll have a drop of ice-cream. (The machine hums and whirrs, and two plates with foil-wrapped cubes of food substitute emerge from a slot, complete with paper napkins. The DOCTOR proudly carries the plates to the table. He sits, and stuffs a paper napkin into his collar.) There we are. Now, what about the gravy? JAMIE: I don't think so. (He looks disdainfully at the food cubes.) Am I supposed to eat this? DOCTOR: Yes, of ourse, it'll be delicious. JAMIE: We can't have a square meal, but this is ridiculous! DOCTOR: Sit down and eat up. (JAMIE sits in the vacant chair and starts eating one of the cubes.) JAMIE: Doctor, what do you think Victoria's doing now? DOCTOR: Now?... Time is relative, Jamie. If I knew when 'now' was, I might be able to hazard a guess. JAMIE: You know what I mean. DOCTOR: Well she's decided to stay in a good historical period - very few wars, great prosperity - she'll be happy enough. This is very filling, isn't it? JAMIE: Aye... (He finishes his 'meal'.) Well, what do we do now? DOCTOR: Well, when we've digested our dinner we'll have another try to get into the control room. JAMIE: Oh, well while you do that, I'm going to have a wee lie down. (He spreads himself out on the bottom bunk.) Tell me, though - what do you think happened to the crew? DOCTOR: I don't know, Jamie. Wish I did. I suppose they've been overtaken by some disaster or other. Perhaps we'll find out when we get into the control room. ___________________________________ 12. Corridor (The ROBOT continues along its path. It comes to the door which JAMIE had opened. It stops, as if puzzled; its sensors and shiver and probe the surroundings. Then the ROBOT shuffles on through the doorway and continues along the next corridor.) ___________________________________ 13. Cabin (The DOCTOR looks through a small pocket telescope at the stars outside the observation port.) DOCTOR: Well, uh... at least we don't seem to be in any immediate danger, Jamie. But I would like to know... (He breaks off as he turns and sees JAMIE fast asleep on the bunk.) Oh! ___________________________________ 14. Exterior, the TARDIS (The ROBOT moves through the motor section and comes to the TARDIS. It scans the strange object meticulously with its sensors. Then it moves on, back to the door which JAMIE had opened. It goes through and turns; sensors light up and the door closes. A rod then protrudes from the ROBOT's chest panel; it fires an optical beam around the edge of the doorway, sealing it shut. The ROBOT continues its path back towards the control room.) ___________________________________ 15. Cabin (The DOCTOR moves to the closed cabin door. As he prepares to open it, he pauses and listens, convinced he has heard a noise outside. After a moment, he cautiously opens the door.) ___________________________________ 16. Corridor (The DOCTOR emerges into the deserted corridor. He bends down to examine the oil marks, and finds them covered in fresh oil. Standing up, he moves quietly to the monitor bank, and operates the screen for the control room. This time, the screen shows only static.) ___________________________________ 17. Control Room (The ROBOT, now back in the control room, shuffles into the small cockpit area. There are computer panels ahead and to the side, with an unusually large dial dominating the panel ahead. The ROBOT moves forward, a cable stretching out from its chest to connect with the computers. The control panel comes to life; lights flicker and dials begin to register. A switch flicks automatically, and the craft lurches to one side.) ___________________________________ 18. Corridor (Leaning over the monitor screen, the DOCTOR is caught by surprise by the sudden movement. He is thrown across the corridor with a yell, hits his head on the far wall and falls to the ground.) ___________________________________ 19. Exterior, the Rocket (In the endless depths of space, the rocket can be seen steadily changing course.) ___________________________________ 20. Cabin (JAMIE has been thrown from the bunk by the sudden movement. He picks himself up, looks around, and sees the DOCTOR missing. He staggers over to the open door.) ___________________________________ 21. Corridor (JAMIE emerges from the cabin to find the DOCTOR slumped against the far wall, dazed and nursing his head.) JAMIE: Doctor, what's happening? (The DOCTOR has difficulty speaking, sounding clearly concussed.) DOCTOR: Hit my head... oh! JAMIE: We're moving - the rocket's moving! DOCTOR: Yes, I know, there's someone in the control room. JAMIE: Well, let's have a look. DOCTOR: No, no, Jamie. We've got to get back to the TARDIS - it's the only safe place. JAMIE: But Doctor, the mercury stuff! DOCTOR: Never mind that. (The DOCTOR moved painfully towards the door leading to the motor section. JAMIE helps him, then tries to open the door. It is stuck fast.) JAMIE: It won't open! (He sees the scorch marks left by the ROBOT's ray-like device.) Doctor, someone's sealed the door! DOCTOR: My head! JAMIE: Easy... back here... in the cabin... (JAMIE helps the DOCTOR back to the cabin area.) ___________________________________ 22. Cabin (The DOCTOR is almost unable to move by himself. JAMIE helps him through the door and onto the bunk. The DOCTOR moans in pain and disorientation.) DOCTOR: Lock it, Jamie, lock it! (JAMIE shuts and locks the hatch leading to the corridor outside.) JAMIE: Easy... Doctor, you alright? Doctor? (The DOCTOR has lapsed into unconsciousness.) ___________________________________ 23. Control Room (The course change completes. The rocket stops moving, and the ROBOT disconnects itself from the navigation console. It then shuffles out of the cockpit to the centre of the control room, where a long cylindrical metal pod lies on the floor. The ROBOT's sensors flash, and the pod slowly splits open along its length, revealing its contents - a number of smooth, white egg-shaped objects suspended in a wire frame. A hatchway opens in the wall, and the pod steadily slides into the small airlock beyond. The internal door closes, and another opens on the outside. As air rushes out of the airlock, the eggs slowly float out of the cylinder and out through the open hatchway into space, forming a long procession. The hatchway closes. The ROBOT watches in silence as the eggs form a line and move off towards some destination. It then turns to a monitor screen. Its sensors flash, and the screen lights up. It shows a giant wheel-shaped space station.) ___________________________________ 24. Cabin (The observation port now also shows the Wheel space station. JAMIE looks at the object in amazement, and fails to notice the DOCTOR stirring behind him. Still dazed, the DOCTOR shakes his head, rises unsteadily to his feet and heads for the door.) JAMIE: Doctor, there's a great big silver thing out here! (With JAMIE's attention still fixed on the port, the DOCTOR unlocks and opens the cabin door, and moves into the corridor.) ___________________________________ 25. Corridor (The one confused thought in the DOCTOR's concussed mind is that of JAMIE's safety.) DOCTOR: Into the TARDIS... I've got to get him to safety... oh! (He hold his head and groans. Then, arriving at the still-sealed door, he takes the time vector generator from his pocket and removes the black tip from one end. Inside is a glowing tip, almost like a torch. He points this at the edge of the door - the device hums, and the DOCTOR traces round the outline of the door, melting the ROBOT's sealant. As he finishes, he senses a movement behind him. He turns. The ROBOT is bearing down on him, the rod-like laser extending from its chest. Too weak to resist, the DOCTOR cowers back against the door as the ROBOT advances.) ___________________________________ 26. Cabin (JAMIE is still staring out of the observation port.) JAMIE: Doctor, you must see this! (Hearing no reply, JAMIE finally turns to see the DOCTOR gone, his blanket dumped on the floor by the bunk and the door open. He picks up the blanket, and sets off through the door to find the DOCTOR.) ___________________________________ 27. Corridor (JAMIE emerges to see the ROBOT bearing down on the helpless DOCTOR. Thinking quickly, JAMIE flings the blanket over the squat ROBOT, then shoves it with all his strength against the wall. He runs to drag the DOCTOR back.) JAMIE: Back to the cabin, quick! ___________________________________ 28. Cabin (JAMIE shuts and locks the door behind them, and helps the DOCTOR back to the bunk.) JAMIE: Easy... easy. ___________________________________ 29. Corridor (The ROBOT recovers its balance, and with a blasting noise, the blanket is violently hurled down the corridor in little pieces. It aims its laser at the cabin door and starts burning a hole.) ___________________________________ 30. Cabin (The DOCTOR hears the hole burning in the door. He takes out the time vector generator and hands it to JAMIE.) DOCTOR: Jamie... take this... it's... a gun... like a torch... have to be careful... oh! (He collapses back on the bed.) ___________________________________ 31. Corridor (The ROBOT has melted a small hole in the door. As the hole grows bigger, JAMIE appears on the side of the door. He points the time vector generator at the ROBOT and fires. The results are spectacular - the ROBOT is blown across the corridor at high velocity, hits the far wall and falls apart.) ___________________________________ 32. Cabin (JAMIE admires his handiwork, then turns to the DOCTOR.) JAMIE: Oh, we're alright for the time being. But listen, you, no more gallivanting about till I say so. Alright? Doctor? Doctor? (The DOCTOR has again fallen unconscious. JAMIE returns to the observation port, which still shows the giant space station.) ___________________________________ 33. Wheel Operations Room (The control room of the space station, W3, is a hive of activity. Technicians and scientists monitor an array of instruments; all are standing in the Wheel's artificial gravity. Banks of instruments and computers surround the central floor area. To the right, a raised platform stands in front of the exit. LEO RYAN, an Australian, sits by the monitors, with British doctor GEMMA CORWYN standing just behind him. TANYA LERNOV, a Russian scientist, monitors another set of instruments, while the Italian ENRICO CASALI sits by the radios.) LEO: Hold. Get a fix on that. GEMMA: It's not moving now. TANYA: Crossover zero. LEO: Triangulate it, Rico. How's it now. Tanya? (GEMMA glances at TANYA's instruments.) GEMMA: The same. TANYA: Just a slight drift. LEO: No, no the movement isn't real, it's just an illus_:Ny{RH9 uFfKIQߒ("3?/*oEgv 0 ~yVܞ ɮzL13`C֝_P Yg /t֐jcy1Yt9%Œڳ: U m)eZ*(B VڦVм>|\t>IӪQnsXhX: 3cp 86J5Z㊎A z]o`]J{i PNEY$> KS~0X>v\Q;5qѭ,.

Corridor (The ROBOT recovers its balance, and with a blasting noise, the blanket is violently hurled down the corridor in little pieces. It aims its laser at the cabin door and starts burning a hole.) ___________________________________ 30. Cabin (The DOCTOR hears the hole burning in the door. He takes out the time vector generator and hands it to JAMIE.) DOCTOR: Jamie... take this... it's... a gun... like a torch... have to be careful... oh! (He collapses back on the bed.) ___________________________________ 31. Corridor (The ROBOT has melted a small hole in the door. As the hole grows bigger, JAMIE appears on the side of the door. He points the time vector generator at the ROBOT and fires. The results are spectacular - the ROBOT is blown across the corridor at high velocity, hits the far wall and falls apart.) ___________________________________ 32. Cabin (JAMIE admires his handiwork, then turns to the DOCTOR.) JAMIE: Oh, we're alright for the time being. But listen, you, no more gallivanting about till I say so. Alright? Doctor? Doctor? (The DOCTOR has again fallen unconscious. JAMIE returns to the observation port, which still shows the giant space station.) ___________________________________ 33. Wheel Operations Room (The control room of the space station, W3, is a hive of activity. Technicians and scientists monitor an array of instruments; all are standing in the Wheel's artificial gravity. Banks of instruments and computers surround the central floor area. To the right, a raised platform stands in front of the exit. LEO RYAN, an Australian, sits by the monitors, with British doctor GEMMA CORWYN standing just behind him. TANYA LERNOV, a Russian scientist, monitors another set of instruments, while the Italian ENRICO CASALI sits by the radios.) LEO: Hold. Get a fix on that. GEMMA: It's not moving now. TANYA: Crossover zero. LEO: Triangulate it, Rico. How's it now. Tanya? (GEMMA glances at TANYA's instruments.) GEMMA: The same. TANYA: Just a slight drift. LEO: No, no the movement isn't real, it's just an illusion caused by slight polar precession. (JARVIS BENNETT strides in and stands on the raised command platform. The crew are briefly silent in respect to the Station Commander. BENNETT speaks with an authoritative voice.) BENNETT: How's our mystery rocket? GEMMA: Suddenly lifeless. LEO: Doesn't make sense, sir. It must have been driven by something. GEMMA: No radio contact. BENNETT: I'm not surprised. I've just checked out its description on the register. It's a Phoenix Mark IV. Name 'Silver Carrier'. LEO: Tanya? TANYA: The register's even. No crossover reading now. LEO: No, it's definitely stopped moving. GEMMA: 'Silver Carrier'? BENNETT: Supply ship for Station Five. Reported overdue nine weeks ago. (Laughs) It's only about eighty or ninety million miles off course! LEO: Try radio contact again, Rico. ENRICO: Okay. (He speaks into the radio transmitter.) Station Three to Silver Carrier. Station Three to Silver Carrier. Call sign LX88J, repeat, call sign LX88J. Come in please... Nothing. GEMMA: It couldn't have drifted all that way, Jarvis. BENNETT: No, it couldn't. TANYA: Try the emergency again, Leo? LEO: Station Three to Silver Carrier. Call switched with red band to operate the emergency transmitter. GEMMA: You think their radio's gone? TANYA: In case. BENNETT: Good procedure. I'm afraid we're wasting our time, but waste it we must. LEO: Any reaction, Tanya? TANYA: No. Nothing. No movement at all. GEMMA: How does Silver Carrier end up in this part of the cosmos? BENNETT: Something happens to the crew. One of them puts on the automatic. The rocket's travelled so far now, the power feedback to automatic is probably failing. LEO: Yes, that's possible. BENNETT: It could start up and start moving again at any minute. GEMMA: And the crew? BENNETT: A dozen and one things. LEO: Well, we've tried everything, sir - we can't raise a sound! BENNETT: Trouble is, if I'm right about that automatic - and I think I am - that rocket could suddenly accelerate and whip straight towards us. (He studies the instruments.) There can't be any life on board there, can there? ___________________________________ 34. Space (The Silver Carrier hangs motionless in space, with the Wheel nearby.) ___________________________________ 35. Exterior, the Wheel (The small white egg-like objects float towards the space station, and begin colliding with the outer rim. As they hit, they appear to be drawn in through the station's rim with a popping noise.) ___________________________________ 36. Operations Room (TANYA looks at her instruments.) TANYA: I'm getting something. Like - small meteorites... hitting our outer rim! ___________________________________ 37. Exterior, the Wheel (The eggs continue to collide with the Space Station, each making the same popping sound as it hits.) ___________________________________ 38. Operations Room (As another egg hits, TANYA speaks.) TANYA: There's another drop in air pressure! GEMMA: It can't be meteorites, we'd have had some warning. TANYA: Well, something - look! (She points to a dial.) Jumping all over the place! BENNETT: It's obvious. We must take it some minor objects have es --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 270 DR WHO/BRIT SCIF Ref: EFG00004Date: 11/11/97 From: ARTIMUS BROWN Time: 12:48pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: The Wheel In Space 2/6 ___________________________________ THE WHEEL IN SPACE EPISODE 2 Written by David Whitaker (from a story by Kit Pedler) Transmitted: 4th May 1968 Running Time: 23Mins 50secs ___________________________________ 1. OPERATIONS ROOM (Everybody is running about as the crew awaits the order to destroy the Silver Carrier. We can hear the crew making checks before the laser is fired.) ENRICO: On Red band emergency frequency come in please. Come in please. Station Three to Silver Carrier, Station Three to Silver Carrier, On Red band emergency frequency come in please. JARVIS: All ready Leo? LEO: Yes sir, it's locked on now! JARVIS: That's good. You don't get much fun, better get used to it. LEO: Make a change from blasting meteorites would it? GEMMA: (From across the room.) Jarvis? JARVIS: Hold on a minute. Tanya, can we take a visual recording of it? TANYA: Yes sir, can do. LEO: Still no movement or radio signals sir. JARVIS: Put up the anti-magnetic shield Leo when I give you the word. LEO: Right. ENRICO: Still going to plan, sir. JARVIS: Good, I do an announcement of our operations. GEMMA: Before you do that Jarvis, can I have a word, it's important. (JARVIS and GEMMA move out of the room to go to JARVIS' office.) ENRICO: More bogeys! LEO: (to crew) All systems on green stand-by! (He moves to have a quiet word with TANYA. TANYA notices the big grin that LEO is showing on his face.) TANYA: I don't know what you are grinning about. LEO: Neither do I. TANYA: It isn't funny Leo. The Controller's like a kid with a new toy. LEO: Oh, don't tell me you are going to be a old stick in the mud too? TANYA: If you are referring to Dr. Corwyn, she is known, she is no stick in the mud.She is perfectly right to be cautious. LEO: Come on, Tanya. It's off course about eighty million miles - there can't possibly be anyone alive on that thing. ___________________________________ 2. CABIN (On the Silver Carrier, JAMIE still stands and watches the Space Station through the observation port... The DOCTOR is still concussed...... The DOCTOR turns over and falls off the bed causing something to fall over. JAMIE picks up the object and straightens the DOCTOR before going back to watch the WHEEL through the observation port..) ___________________________________ 3. JARVIS' OFFICE. (A big room showing off that whoever is in here is the boss. JARVIS is sitting down at his desk just holding on to his temper and GEMMA is trying to reason with him and not explode the already enraged Commander.) GEMMA: Yes, I know all that Jarvis. But we still can't be absolutely certain. JARVIS: Gemma, one thing that I beg of you - Don't subject me to psycho- analysis. You think I'm having a wail of a time don't you? All kids again - bang, bang, blow up the balloon! You wrong, you know. GEMMA: Am I? JARVIS: Say what you like, the Silver Carrier is a menace to the Wheel. Now surely you can see that? GEMMA: If you equate menace with automatic power drive, I don't. JARVIS: What else? GEMMA: You want me to believe that some emergency happened on the Silver Carrier. The pilot switched to automatic and then tragedy. JARVIS: Right. GEMMA: And all the crew died? JARVIS: Right again. GEMMA: Where was the Carrier bound for, Jarvis? JARVIS: Servicing Station Five. I told you. GEMMA: Then, isn't it be reasonable to assume that the automatic would take it to Station Five? (This catches JARVIS and makes him think.) JARVIS: Yes. That's a good reason. But you are forgetting the emergency. That could have the control sensors and that what must have happened since the rocket is so far off course. GEMMA: Assumption again, guess work. It would be so easy to check. (That provokes JARVIS again.) JARVIS: (Snarls) We can't risk that rocket turning in on us. Don't you see? It would blast right through us! ___________________________________ 4. CABIN (JAMIE has a idea. He points the illuminated time vector generator and points it at the Wheel and starts pressing it. The generator sends out a signal which makes its way to the Wheel......) ___________________________________ 5. OPERATIONS ROOM (......which overloads the communications panel and causes the communications officer to tear off his headphones because of the loud feedback that he is now getting. Since the noise can now be heard from the communications panel this causes the officer to wither in agony and cry out because of the noise.) LEO: What the matter?! RUDKIN: Noise! Fantastic noise through my headphones. TANYA: Leo! The approach indicators are all at red! LEO: Of course it is! The green system gone crazy! Tanya, get Dr. Corwyn. (To ENRICO while TANYA runs from the room.) Check emergency system yellow! (ENRICO checks his readings.) ENRICO: Emergency yellow negative. (A female crew member takes over the console.) CREW 1: Tell them I take over the telecommunications myself. LEO: Bill! BILL: Yo! LEO: Will you lie down there? (The Communications officer lies down.) ENRICO: Ea, Ea, Ea, I don't want to do that again. (LEO has been listening to the signals.) LEO: Hey, listen! (It now seems to be in a pattern.) ___________________________________ 6. JARVIS' OFFICE JARVIS: Don't argue with me Gemma! The decision is mine! This station and the people in it are my responsibility. (TANYA rushes in) TANYA: Rudkin hurt! GEMMA: What happened? TANYA: Colossal static pulses. It's swamping the detectors. JARVIS: It's the rocket. I knew that it was a menace. (Everybody dashes out.) ___________________________________ 7. CABIN (On the Silver Carrier JAMIE continues to press the button causing it to send the static pulses through space to the Wheel.) ___________________________________ 8. OPERATIONS ROOM (JARVIS, GEMMA and TANYA rush back in.) JARVIS: All right Tanya, get back to the complex, see if you can pin this static down. (TANYA goes to the communications panel, taking over from the female officer.) JARVIS: Vallance, get a lead here. (To GEMMA who is examining the patient) Well? GEMMA: Bad. JARVIS: Can you move him? GEMMA: Yes. JARVIS: Right. (To two officers.) You two, take him to the Medical Bay. (They pick up the patient.) GEMMA: Gently with him now. (GEMMA, two officers and the patient leave the room.) JARVIS: (to room.) Your attention That rocket is giving us enough trouble. Bill, knock it out. BILL: Right. TANYA: Controller! JARVIS: Yes, what is it? TANYA: The static, there is a signal on it! JARVIS: There can't be! (LEO has been listening to the static as well.) LEO: You're right Tanya. Get me a fix on that. TANYA: If I can. (She touches some controls.) TANYA: It's not any code that I have heard before but there is definitely a repetitive order to it. LEO: It no use using Radio or Radar. We will have to use Mini micro-form waves. JARVIS: You think that it is coming from the rocket? LEO: Just checking that it isn't coming from anywhere else. TANYA: The rocket. It is. JARVIS: You're sure? TANYA: Certain. I was fixed on it anyway. There's no doubt. JARVIS: Then somebody is on board. Phil! PHIL: Sir. JARVIS: I want two men to cross over. Organise it will you? PHIL: Right sir. JARVIS: Eighteen million miles off course. If there is life on board, it must be in a pretty bad way. ___________________________________ 9. CABIN (JAMIE still keeps a eye on the DOCTOR. Meanwhile two men from the Wheel have arrived. JAMIE sees them gesturing toward the front end of the ship toward the airlock and JAMIE hurries to comply. The men then enter the Silver Carrier.) JAMIE: Quick, I have somebody injured in here. (All three rush through into the Cabin.) ___________________________________ 10.(A little while later - the Space Wheel has returned to normal. LALEHAM now occupies the vacant seat of radio operator and is presently warning passing travellers of a meteorite storm and plotting alternate courses for the space traffic.) LALEHAM: Voyager five, codesign K-1 to 10-Q, confirm please, Station 3. VOICE: (oov) Receiving you, Station 3. Hello, Hello. LALEHAM: Meteorite storm cross your planned route between 13:00 and 14:00 hours. Co-ordinates: A-ALPHA 2710.4, B-B to 4.7. Do you receive Voyager Five? VOICE: (oov) Yes, thank you for the information Station 3. LALEHAM: We have computed an alternative route for you, Voyager Five. Stand-by for instructions. (Meanwhile LEO and TANYA get together for a talk.) LEO: We have guests. TANYA: Dr. Corwyn examining the older one now. They are both slightly in shock anyway. LEO: What the story? TANYA: I don't know. Quite a mystery isn't it. LEO: Jarvis won't like that. What that on green system three Chang? (CHANG, a Chinaman, looks up from his console.) CHANG: Very odd sir. Been getting one or two funny sign here and there all the time. Soon as you check them out they vanished. LEO: Put them in the log. OK? CHANG: Yes sir. It as if a number of magnets was touching the outer skin of the wheel and then letting go. Argh, localised field effects, that's all. All detector fields are checked out sir. Can't be anything serious. LEO: Keep a log and let me know. CHANG: Right sir. LEO: (to TANYA) More mysteries? TANYA: I know. (Her face is filled with anxiety which doesn't go unnoticed by Leo.) LEO: Something else worrying you, Tanya? TANYA: What about those sudden drops in air pressure levels? They were small enough and soon adjust themselves but.... I didn't like it. LEO: How small? TANYA: Only a few millimetres. One degree sometimes one and a half. LEO: Hmm... some fault in the air supply unit. Or the pumps. TANYA: But it's so much parts of the Wheel. LEO: Did you tell Jarvis? TANYA: (half-laughing) Of course. He bit my head off. LEO: Have you tell ..... told Gemma Corwyn yet? TANYA: No, she was busy with the new arrivals. I didn't want to disturb her. LEO: Well, if I was you Tanya, I start a check on the whole air supply unit. TANYA: That's what I thought. Leo? LEO: Hmm. TANYA: None of these things - your system showing temporary faults, the air pressure levels. Well they all started with the rocket didn't they? LEO: What, do you think that there are little green men on board, do you? TANYA: Well, the two that they bought back wasn't exactly normal were they? LEO: Well, I tell you what hey. If you get sacred, I'll let you hold my hand OK? TANYA: (half-laughing) I'm serious. LEO: (with a grin) So am I. (TANYA's face is now in an affectionate smile which masks her continuing concern.) ___________________________________ 11. EXTERIOR, THE WHEEL. (Meanwhile, the outside of the Wheel is once more under attack. A small egg-like bubble drifts through space, attaching itself to the outer rim of the space station.) ___________________________________ 12. GEMMA'S OFFICE. (In GEMMA's office which looks like a medical Doctor's office, JAMIE is having a physical check-up from GEMMA. JAMIE has got his shirt open and GEMMA has got a stethoscope to his chest.) GEMMA: Breathe in again. (JAMIE breathes in.) GEMMA: Out. (JAMIE breathes out.) GEMMA: And again please. (JAMIE breathes in again.) GEMMA: Out. (JAMIE breathes out again.) GEMMA: Now, I want you to take a deep breath and exhale as slowly as you can. (JAMIE does so.) GEMMA: Good. You can dress now. (GEMMA takes her stethoscope away and JAMIE starts to do up his shirt.) JAMIE: How about the Doctor? GEMMA: Concussion certainly. I am waiting for the X-Rays to see if there is any fracture. What were you both up to? JAMIE: Hey? GEMMA: Fancy dress or something. Your clothes? JAMIE: Look, have you ever thought what you look like walking down the street in those things. People would think you were a wee bit strange as well. GEMMA: I dare say. But I don't understand the allegory. We're both in space.It's you and your friend who aren't conforming to customs. JAMIE: How about the medical; do I pass? GEMMA: You do. If it any comfort to you, you are in fine physical shape. (She takes out a form.) GEMMA: Can you give me your full name please? JAMIE: James Robert McCrimmon. Jamie. (GEMMA writes this down.) GEMMA: Thank you. And your friend? JAMIE: Err. The Doctor. GEMMA: I can't put that down. JAMIE: Err..... (JAMIE is stuck but he is in luck. He spots the lid of Gemma's stethoscope box with the words "JOHN SMITH & ASSOCIATES" on it.) JAMIE: John Smith. GEMMA: (with a bemused look on her face.) Really? JAMIE: Aye. (GEMMA writes this down.) GEMMA: Dr. John Smith. (JAMIE spots the look on GEMMA's face.) JAMIE: They must be a lot of them about. GEMMA: I dare say. You were passengers on board the Carrier were you? JAMIE: Err. Do you think that I can have a drink of water please? (GEMMA gets him the water.) GEMMA: What happened to the crew? JAMIE: I don't know. GEMMA: Can you further than that? JAMIE: Well, I was...... in the cabin you see. Terrible fever. Raving for days. (GEMMA sees that this is a lie. If JAMIE did have a fever, the medical would have shown it up.) JAMIE: Well, when I came to, the door was closed against us, the Doctor was hurt and your people came. GEMMA: All the communicating doors were closed against you? JAMIE: Aye. GEMMA: And your friend didn't tell you what happened? JAMIE: No. GEMMA: (gives up) All right Jamie. That would do for the present. The Controller will want to have a chat with you. We have to get you home somehow. JAMIE: Ah, that would be the day. (He sees GEMMA's inquizzable look.) JAMIE: Oh, of course. GEMMA: There should be another ship passing through in a week or two. JAMIE: Oh, can I go now? GEMMA: You didn't drink your water. JAMIE: No. That's all right. (He turns to leave.) GEMMA: Wait a moment. JAMIE: What? GEMMA: Would you like to see over the Wheel? I could arrange it for you if you like. JAMIE: Oh yes. There is nothing else I can do. GEMMA: Well, if you go along the corridor you will see a door marked Para-psychology library. JAMIE: Para.. what? GEMMA: It's on the other side of the wheel complex. About eight sections on. I tell Zoe to show you round. JAMIE: Zoe? GEMMA: She our... Well the best way to describe her would be to call her our librarian. JAMIE: Zoe, you say? GEMMA: That's right. JAMIE: Oh, you will tell me what happens to the Doctor. GEMMA: Yes, of course. JAMIE: Thank you. (JAMIE leaves the room and GEMMA waits until he has gone and then patches through a visual link to the para-psychology library.) GEMMA: (into communicator) Para-psychology library. Dr. Corwyn calling. (An attractive young dark-haired girl in her late-teens/early-twenties answers her call.) ZOE: (oov) Para-psychology library. What reference do you need, Dr.Corwyn? GEMMA: No reference thank you Zoe. I need your help in another way. ZOE: (oov) Oh? GEMMA: One of the people retrieved from the rogue spaceship is coming to your section. I'd like you to show him over the Wheel and observe him. ZOE: (oov) Observe him? GEMMA: Discreetly of course. ZOE: (oov) Do you want these observations recorded? GEMMA: Yes please. ZOE: (oov) Hmm, should be interesting. Any facts known? GEMMA: Yes. He is a nice lad. His name's Jam.... ZOE: (oov) Just a minute. (She interrupts to conclude the mental analysis of a half-solved problem. GEMMA patiently waits for her to finish) ZOE: Sorry, I was halfway through a REA analysis when you came on. Right.... ___________________________________ 13. CORRIDOR (JAMIE walks down the corridor searching for the right door.) ___________________________________ 14. LIBRARY. (He finds and walks into the circular room as Zoe is completing her delivery of information on nova star predominance.) ZOE: (talking into microphone) With the exception of the Hercules clusters. Confirmation of the information received that one of the stars in the Messa 13 group is entering the nova phase. This would be a repetition of the phenomenon observed in the Peruses cluster last week. Information of the gamma radiation levels is available. (She notices that JAMIE has entered the room.) ZOE: Sorry. You must be...... (She breaks off into uncontrollable giggles on seeing his attire.) JAMIE: Hey, what are you laughing at? ZOE: Your clothes. You're wearing female garments. JAMIE: Female?! Look I have you know this is a kilt. Have you never seen it before? ZOE: (to herself) Kilt? Kilt. A barbaric form of garment as worn by a kiltie! Are you of Scandinavian origin? Danish? JAMIE: (annoyed) No I am not. I am a true bred Scot! And I just stand..... ZOE: Oh, a Scot! Scotland, of course. Pre-century history isn't my field you see. JAMIE: Aye, maybe not but just you watch you lip or I put you across my knee and laddup you. ZOE: (laughing) This is going to be fun! I shall learn a lot from you. Come on James Robert McCrimmon, do you know anything about interstellar flora? JAMIE: (lost) Hey? ___________________________________ 15. POWER ROOM (The first stop on the tour is the Power Room where JAMIE is shown about by BILL DUGGAN.) BILL: And this is my little kingdom. (In the corner there is a greenhouse for various interstellar flowers.) BILL: Here, how do you like the Greenhouse? JAMIE: Oh, you bred these? (BILL laughs) BILL: Apomictic seeds. The only place they flourish is down here in the power room. Of course, the old man kicked up a mad dust over at first but now Doc Corwyn said they was good physiology or something. Anyway I just like flowers. Hey.... (He points to one.) BILL: That one comes all the way from Venus. Imagine that. All that millions of miles away. ZOE: 24,564,000 miles to the perihelion and 161,350,000 miles to the aphelion. (This goes over JAMIE's head.) JAMIE: Oh, I was dying to know that. (BILL laughs and moves to a small machine fixed in the middle of the floor.) BILL: And this is the capacitor bank for the x-ray lasers. JAMIE: The what? BILL: Oh it controls the laser gun. Without it the gun's useless. JAMIE: What do you need a gun for up in space anyway? BILL: Self-defence. We can blot out any attacker up to ten thousand miles in any one direction. Good eh? JAMIE: Reassuring. BILL: And there are the anti-magnetic field generators. They can vend off even a medium-side meteorite up to 50 miles. JAMIE: You know Bill the Doctor will love all this. (This arouses ZOE's curiosity.) ZOE: This Doctor friend of yours. Is he a scientist? JAMIE: He is in a way I suppose, yes. ZOE: What's his speciality? JAMIE: He's what? ZOE: Well, is he a physicist, biochemist, astronomer, biologist. JAMIE: Yes, he is. BILL: Well, he certainly sounds a interesting character, this Doctor friend of yours. When is he going to be up and about? ___________________________________ 16. GEMMA'S OFFICE (That is the question being discussed by JARVIS and GEMMA. GEMMA is sitting on her chair behind her desk while JARVIS sits in her guest chair.) GEMMA: If he is just suffering from concussion, not too long. JARVIS: Oh, it doesn't tell me much. I want facts. GEMMA: I don't blame you. JARVIS: We've landed with a couple of strays. Panic, mysteries from the crew. The routine getting shoddy and I don't like it. GEMMA: What panics? (JARVIS waves this off and stands up pacing about the room..) JARVIS: Oh, nothing, nothing. I tell you if it gets serious. People are just... edgy. Out in space, human beings have got to rely on routines, ordinariness. Confuse them and you got trouble. GEMMA: Yes. JARVIS: I'm used to emergencies. Trained for it. But these things..... oh, I don't know...... GEMMA: What you call mysteries? JARVIS: Exactly, Exactly. I don't want to know, Gemma. I don't want to know. Well.... (He sits down again.) GEMMA: You better hear my preliminary report on the boy. JARVIS: Yes, go ahead. GEMMA: He's lying. Not completely and apparently reluctantly. He's very fit both mentally and physically, has a constructive personality. His blood pressure suggests that he's not been in space very long. JARVIS: Lying about what? GEMMA: He said that he had fever on the Silver Carrier but he hadn't. His gamma globules are normal. JARVIS: Why would he lie about that? GEMMA: I asked him what happened to the crew. Fever was his excuse for not knowing. And then again he lied. At least, I almost sure that he lied about his friend's name. John Smith he called him. JARVIS: Well, they do exist you know. (He points at the "JOHN SMITH" mark.) GEMMA: Yes, he had been looking at that thing for long enough. Convenience possibly. Somehow I doubt it. And then what's the most precious thing in deep space. JARVIS: Air, water, take your pick. GEMMA: Exactly. In space training even for one journey travellers. He asked me for a drink of water and then he left it. He might have been on Earth. That boy has no space travel training Jarvis. He's probably a stowaway or he's maybe an agent. JARVIS: Sabotage? GEMMA: Plenty of people on Earth think that we should suspend the space programme. Some of them have forced their opinions already. (JARVIS stands up again.) JARVIS: You think these two stowed away somehow, even disposed of the crew of the Silver Carrier. Pretend to drift here helplessly, we take them in and they breaking things up! GEMMA: I don't go THAT far. JARVIS: (excited) Of course, it's fits! Everything fits! GEMMA: I only suggested it as a possibility, Jarvis. There are others. JARVIS: (going to the door.) We'll talk about those later. This could be serious. GEMMA: Jarvis, wait, I.... (But JARVIS has charged through the doors.) ___________________________________ 17. OPERATIONS ROOM (ZOE, BILL and JAMIE are just entering the Operations Room.) ZOE: And this is the Operations and Communications room. JAMIE: What does this Wheel thing do up here anyway? ZOE: Well, it has varied functions, but mainly it's a radio/visual relay for Earth, a half-way house for deep space ships, a space research station, stellar early warning station for all types of space phenomena and..... JAMIE: (baffled) Aye and ask a silly question. (He begins to sit down.) ZOE: Not there. That's the Controller's chair. (JAMIE stands up speedily.) LEO: (cheerfully to everyone) Hey, you are in quite a treat. JAMIE: I am? BILL: The old man going ahead then? LEO: Too right he is. TANYA: I thought that Gemma talked him out of it. LEO: Only because she thought they might be somebody on board. (To JAMIE) Just as well for you. JAMIE: Aye, I'm sorry but I lost you in the first part. ZOE: The Controller, Jarvis Bennett, wanted to destroy the rocket. TANYA: And then we got your message. LEO: Only minutes in it too. The laser was all primed and ready to blast. TANYA: (to LEO) Has Jarvis given the go-ahead? LEO: Yes, I run a new co-ordinate fix. Everything programmed and ready. All we need now is the final signal. JAMIE: Oh, you are not going to blow up the rocket. LEO: Oh, it might hit us. So on the safe side we blast it out of existence. TANYA: Jarvis asked me to make a visual recording of it so I better re-position. (She moves away and then turns to Zoe.) TANYA: Zoe, help me do a quick mental calculation would you? You're quicker than me....... LEO: (to everybody) It'll be great to see this at leisure. It should be quite an explosion. (He turns to the console.) TANYA: (to ZOE) Right, Zoe. linearal reading is 198.42 metres at 23 degrees latitude. (JAMIE, unnoticed, leaves the room) TANYA: 190.23 metres. 24 degree latitude... ___________________________________ 18.

What were you both up to? JAMIE: Hey? GEMMA: Fancy dress or something. Your clothes? JAMIE: Look, have you ever thought what you look like walking down the street in those things. People would think you were a wee bit strange as well. GEMMA: I dare say. But I don't understand the allegory. We're both in space.It's you and your friend who aren't conforming to customs. JAMIE: How about the medical; do I pass? GEMMA: You do. If it any comfort to you, you are in fine physical shape. (She takes out a form.) GEMMA: Can you give me your full name please? JAMIE: James Robert McCrimmon. Jamie. (GEMMA writes this down.) GEMMA: Thank you. And your friend? JAMIE: Err. The Doctor. GEMMA: I can't put that down. JAMIE: Err..... (JAMIE is stuck but he is in luck. He spots the lid of Gemma's stethoscope box with the words "JOHN SMITH & ASSOCIATES" on it.) JAMIE: John Smith. GEMMA: (with a bemused look on her face.) Really? JAMIE: Aye. (GEMMA writes this down.) GEMMA: Dr. John Smith. (JAMIE spots the look on GEMMA's face.) JAMIE: They must be a lot of them about. GEMMA: I dare say. You were passengers on board the Carrier were you? JAMIE: Err. Do you think that I can have a drink of water please? (GEMMA gets him the water.) GEMMA: What happened to the crew? JAMIE: I don't know. GEMMA: Can you further than that? JAMIE: Well, I was...... in the cabin you see. Terrible fever. Raving for days. (GEMMA sees that this is a lie. If JAMIE did have a fever, the medical would have shown it up.) JAMIE: Well, when I came to, the door was closed against us, the Doctor was hurt and your people came. GEMMA: All the communicating doors were closed against you? JAMIE: Aye. GEMMA: And your friend didn't tell you what happened? JAMIE: No. GEMMA: (gives up) All right Jamie. That would do for the present. The Controller will want to have a chat with you. We have to get you home somehow. JAMIE: Ah, that would be the day. (He sees GEMMA's inquizzable look.) JAMIE: Oh, of course. GEMMA: There should be another ship passing through in a week or two. JAMIE: Oh, can I go now? GEMMA: You didn't drink your water. JAMIE: No. That's all right. (He turns to leave.) GEMMA: Wait a moment. JAMIE: What? GEMMA: Would you like to see over the Wheel? I could arrange it for you if you like. JAMIE: Oh yes. There is nothing else I can do. GEMMA: Well, if you go along the corridor you will see a door marked Para-psychology library. JAMIE: Para.. what? GEMMA: It's on the other side of the wheel complex. About eight sections on. I tell Zoe to show you round. JAMIE: Zoe? GEMMA: She our... Well the best way to describe her would be to call her our librarian. JAMIE: Zoe, you say? GEMMA: That's right. JAMIE: Oh, you will tell me what happens to the Doctor. GEMMA: Yes, of course. JAMIE: Thank you. (JAMIE leaves the room and GEMMA waits until he has gone and then patches through a visual link to the para-psychology library.) GEMMA: (into communicator) Para-psychology library. Dr. Corwyn calling. (An attractive young dark-haired girl in her late-teens/early-twenties answers her call.) ZOE: (oov) Para-psychology library. What reference do you need, Dr.Corwyn? GEMMA: No reference thank you Zoe. I need your help in another way. ZOE: (oov) Oh? GEMMA: One of the people retrieved from the rogue spaceship is coming to your section. I'd like you to show him over the Wheel and observe him. ZOE: (oov) Observe him? GEMMA: Discreetly of course. ZOE: (oov) Do you want these observations recorded? GEMMA: Yes please. ZOE: (oov) Hmm, should be interesting. Any facts known? GEMMA: Yes. He is a nice lad. His name's Jam.... ZOE: (oov) Just a minute.

CABIN (The two hypnotised men turn to their new masters.) CYBERMAN1: You will take us to the Wheel. CYBERMAN 2: Obey. Inside the Wheel you will help us. You will obey. (LALEHAM and VALLANCE nod in agreement.) ___________________________________ 2. DOCTOR'S ROOM (ZOE has got JARVIS and GEMMA and they have been listening to the Doctor as he explains about the Cybermen and show them the Cybermat.) JARVIS: And what's all that supposed to mean? DOCTOR: The Cybermen are threatening this space Wheel. JARVIS: Cybermen!? Where did you dream up a name like that. (ZOE, ever wanting to be useful, pitches in) ZOE: The study of assistmous. Control and communication in animals and devices such as Cybernetic machines. JARVIS: (talking to Zoe) What are you talking about? ZOE: Cybernetics. JARVIS: (snaps) I know everything about Cybernetics. I don't need a lecture from you. DOCTOR: But the Cybermen exist. You got to believe me, you got to! JARVIS: What on the evidence of one faked-up X-ray shot. ZOE: It is not faked-up. I took it myself Controller. (This takes the sting out of JARVIS.) JARVIS: Well.... what are these Cybermen then? DOCTOR: They were once men, human beings, like yourself, from the planet Mondas. But now they're more robot then man. JARVIS: You mean half and half? DOCTOR: Oh no, more than that. Their entire body are mechanical and their brains have been treated neuro-surgery to remove all human emotion. All sense of pain. They're ruthless inhuman killers! (JARVIS greets this with mocking laughter.) JARVIS: You really expect me to believe that rubbish! DOCTOR: It's not rubbish! They kill anyone that stands in their path. You got to believe me. You just got to! ___________________________________ 3. CABIN (The two crewmen get their instructions.) CYBERMAN 1: You will ferry us to the Wheel. Obey. Inside the Wheel you will help us. (The CYBERMEN then climb into a huge empty crate and two men then duly fit false bottoms. They then stack Bernalium rods above the prostrate Cybermen.) ___________________________________ 4. DOCTOR'S ROOM DOCTOR: But don't you understand. The Cybermen will get inside this space Wheel. JARVIS: Nothing just comes in and out of this Wheel, What do you think this is - a jet heliport? DOCTOR: They already sent their Cybermats in to weaken you. JAMIE: Well, listen to him. He's telling you the truth! JARVIS: No, I telling you what he's doing. What too many people are doing. I don't know why - must be space sickness. They're spreading fear - alarm - terror. You think I can't see it. GEMMA: He's sincere Jarvis. At least...... JARVIS: How can anything get inside the Wheel, Gemma, How? How can it get through the airlock. Perhaps it'll float through the loading bay in full view of everybody. GEMMA: Still worth listening and taking precautions just in case there is anything.... JARVIS: Don't tell me my job, Gemma. I am still Controller of this Wheel and this will be run my way. Any orders to the contrary can come from Earth central. That's what.... (The increasing pressure begins to show on the frantic man's face as he storms out.) DOCTOR: Oh dear. How can you convince a man like that? GEMMA: That X-ray. I think that Bill Duggan should see it. Go and find him, will you Zoe? ZOE: Isn't he confined to his quarters? GEMMA: Have him bought here, under guard if necessary, but get him here - I'll be responsible. (ZOE leaves) GEMMA: Jarvis was right about one thing, Doctor. These Cybermen of yours can't just walk into the Wheel you know. DOCTOR: (grim) They will find a way. ___________________________________ 5. SPACE (VALLANCE and LALEHAM space walk back to the Wheel trailing the big crate behind them.) ___________________________________ 6. OPERATIONS ROOM (Enrico now mans the communication console.) ENRICO: (into communicator) Rainbow flux normal. That completes the advance weather information. This is Station W-3 signing out. VOICE: (oov) Thank you W-3. Thanks for the good news. Signing out. ENRICO: Survey party calling in. (into communicator) Yes, come in survey party. VALLANCE: (dull and oov) Coming in through loading bay, Control. TANYA: Ask why. Airlock five is all ready. ENRICO: (into communicator) Is anything wrong? Airlock five is ready for you. VALLANCE: (oov) We found a whole crate of Bernalium on the rocket. Bringing it over with us. Approval please Control. ENRICO: This should buck the old man up a bit. TANYA: Yes. I'll just check. (She goes to the communicator and calls up JARVIS.) ENRICO: (into communicator) Just checking with control Armand, Await confirmation. JARVIS: (oov) Yes? TANYA: Survey party reports a find of Bernalium. They are bringing it over from the rocket. Can I give them the go-ahead? JARVIS: (oov) Somebody using their brains as last. Yes, yes. We need it badly. Good work, good work. TANYA: All right, Enrico. ENRICO: Hello, survey party. All clear on the cargo run. Am clearing the loading bay for your arrival. TANYA: Close off airlock five and clear loading bay....... ___________________________________ 7. DOCTOR'S ROOM (BILL has arrived and has been shown the picture.) BILL: Well, that's it all right. GEMMA: What you called "billy-bug" BILL: Yea. GEMMA: You're sure about this? BILL: I'm definite. I thought that I had come across some strange space-creature. DOCTOR: It's an alien machine. Destructive. Capable of killing. BILL: It seems like a space-rodent. Look, I know, you all think I'm crazy..... GEMMA: 'Corse not Bill. After all you discovered space flora. When you found the Cybermat you obviously thought that it was space flora. DOCTOR: Yes, it's a pity you didn't somebody sooner. BILL: Maybe so, Doc, but look at what happened when I did tell the old man. DOCTOR: Yes. ZOE: (to BILL) I better take you back Bill. (to the others) I got some new calculations to do on those meteorites. Half of the space-fleet might be flying straight into them. (She leaves with BILL.) DOCTOR: Meteorites. Now the Cybermats must have sent in to destroy the laser gun. GEMMA: They nearly did. DOCTOR: What? GEMMA: Well, I assume they did. They seem to have taken a liking to all of the stock of Bernalium we have on board. The laser needs a constant supply of Bernalium rods. DOCTOR: You see, Jamie. JAMIE: I see right enough. If I haven't put the laser out of action, the Cybermat would have. DOCTOR: Yes, but why? JAMIE: But that's oblivious. Put the Wheel out of action and make it defenceless. DOCTOR: But the Wheel must have other defences. GEMMA: Magnetic field deflectors. The messiah shield. They can counter-act small meteorites. DOCTOR: No, I think the Bernalium was destroyed for another purpose but what? What? ___________________________________ 8. LOADING BAY (LALEHAM and VALLANCE's space walk nears it's end Bringing the large crate behind them, they enter the loading bay doors of the Wheel with their deadly cargo.) ___________________________________ 9. LIBRARY ZOE: (into microphone) Progress readings on the star Hercules 208 in Messa 13. Radar computes..... JAMIE: What are you doing? (ZOE carries on like nothing as happened.) ZOE: Bank A-208.16, Bank B-321.64. Lateral...... JAMIE: Are you talking to yourself. (ZOE gives up and switches off the tape.) ZOE: James Robert McCrimmon, do you realise what you have done? JAMIE: What have I done? ZOE: Well I was recording some very important readings. Well now, you're on my tape. JAMIE: (lost) Hey? (ZOE rewinds the tape and plays it back.) JAMIE: How did you do that without moving your lips? (ZOE points to the recorder. We hear JAMIE interrupt ZOE again.) JAMIE: That's me. Sorry have I ruined it? ZOE: No, not really. (She turns and moves further down the library. JAMIE follows her and she turns round.) ZOE: Is there anything you want? JAMIE: No. I'm all right. ZOE: Well, I've got some new calculations to do on those new readings. JAMIE: Aye, everybody's so busy. Not that they would talk to me anyway. ZOE: Well, you did get off to a bad start. JAMIE: You mean ruining the laser. Aye, I suppose I did. Hey, anyway I had to do that. ZOE: Why? JAMIE: Because the...... (JAMIE is torn between lying and telling ZOE about the TARDIS.) Well, I can't really tell you. ___________________________________ 10. POWER ROOM (FLANNIGAN, LEO and another crew-member are trying to mend the laser.) LEO: Will you hold that light still, Flannigan. FLANNIGAN: My arm's getting tired. LEO: Oh, you are a great help. CREW-MEMBER: Just another few seconds, sir. LEO: Will you get me that driver. (The crew-member goes over and gets it.) LEO: Come on, hurry up. (He is handed the driver.) Right. (He attempts to get something out......) Ah, my beauty. (.....which he succeeds in doing. JARVIS and BILL enter the room.) JARVIS: How's it going? LEO: Ah, hello sir. (To the Crew-Member) Al right Penny. (To JARVIS) Well, the boys can do with a break, they worked non-stop. JARVIS: I'm giving you Bill Duggan, No reason why he can't make himself useful. You others take a break. Keep up the good work. LEO: Al right sir. JARVIS: Yes. (JARVIS leaves.) LEO: Oh boy, am I glad to see you Bill. BILL: How's it look? LEO: Oh, we just had a bit of luck. The central deployment didn't get any plastic. BILL: Oh, that's great. What about the Bernalium? LEO: I haven't got around to that yet. (To the crew-member and FLANNIGAN.) Go on you two, hop it. FLANNIGAN: If it's all the same with you sir, we'll just grab a snack and be back in five minutes. LEO: You take 45 minutes and like it. FLANNIGAN: Right. (They leave.) BILL: What about you - you look done in. LEO: Oh, I can't leave you on your own. It needs at least two to handle this thing. (CHANG walks by FLANNIGAN at the door and enters the room.) CHANG: Some people have all the luck. The Controller said that you needed some help. Of course, I have only done two watches in a row. LEO: Congratulations. I done three. BILL: Oh, go and shove off Leo, Chang and I can handle this. LEO: Well, I.... BILL: Come on, I know how to get the Bernalium done, hey. ___________________________________ 11. DOCTOR'S ROOM GEMMA: It's an extraordinary X-ray. DOCTOR: Extraordinary! Extraordinary? GEMMA: I dare say your ache will ache for a quite a while yet but at least there's no damage. DOCTOR: Oh, I am so glad there is no damage. Mrs. Corwyn. GEMMA: Miss. DOCTOR: Oh, oh forgive me. GEMMA: My husband died in the asteroid belt three years ago. DOCTOR: Oh. I'm so sorry. GEMMA: My name's Gemma. DOCTOR: Gemma.... How nice. Hmm, Gemma. Tell me.... tell me about the Controller, Jarvis. GEMMA: Tell you what? DOCTOR: He is a strange man to be in a position like this? GEMMA: In any ordinary circumstances no. DOCTOR: Are there any ordinary circumstances in space? GEMMA: Jarvis is simply a man that can't accept phenomena outside the laws of physics. DOCTOR: Yes, that is a very accurate..... GEMMA: Were you going to say diagnosis? DOCTOR: You're very perspective. GEMMA: You see this failing of his as a medical reason. DOCTOR: Don't you? GEMMA: Normally he is more than capable of commandeering this station. It's a continuous and merciless responsibility. DOCTOR: Exactly. One does wonder what a man like that will do when faced with a problem for which he has no solution. GEMMA: I must confess I have been concerned.Jarvis shows sign of blocking off his mind. He can't face the truth. ___________________________________ 12. OPERATIONS ROOM (JARVIS enters the room and walks up to TANYA.) JARVIS: Everything in order here? (He jumps in before TANYA can say a word.) JARVIS: Yes, yes. I see it is. Good, good. (He goes, leaving TANYA with suspicions about his behaviour.) ___________________________________ 13. CORRIDOR (JARVIS breezes through the Wheel on his way to the Medical unit.) ___________________________________ 14. DOCTOR'S ROOM (The DOCTOR is out of bed and is putting on his black frock-coat against GEMMA's advice.) GEMMA: But you need rest, you really shouldn't get up yet. DOCTOR: Of course I have to get up. (JAMIE enters the room, GEMMA turns to him.) GEMMA: Can you persuade him to rest? JAMIE: Och, there's no good trying to stop him. GEMMA: But it's much too soon. DOCTOR: Gemma, be reasonable. I know the dangers. The Cybermen need to colonise. They must have the treasures of Earth. GEMMA: You can't leave this room. Jarvis has given orders. DOCTOR: He is not in control of himself. GEMMA: I'm sorry, Doctor. I can counter-command any order that the controller has issued. JAMIE: (to DOCTOR) He is as stubborn as you are. ___________________________________ 15. CORRIDOR (JARVIS stops a person walking along the corridor.) JARVIS: Everything in order here? Good. Good. (He enters the Doctor's room.) ___________________________________ 16. DOCTOR'S ROOM JARVIS: (cheerfully to the Doctor.) Up and about already eh? That's better. (to Gemma) I've done a tour, Gemma. Everything running like clockwork. GEMMA: Fine. I'd like to talk to you about the rocket. (JARVIS doesn't seem to have heard the question.) JARVIS: Yes, everything is going rather well. Very well indeed. (to the DOCTOR) You must want to stretch your legs. Get someone to take you round. DOCTOR: Oh, oh thank you. Er, you will tell the guard, won't you. JARVIS: (To the GUARD outside) Off you go. Everything is in order here. GEMMA: Jarvis....... JARVIS: You might want to make a note about morale, Gemma. It's excellent. Never been better. GEMMA: But...... JARVIS: Yes, there is nothing we can't handle. Nothing. (He rubs his forehead.) Tired now. Turn in I suppose and get some sleep. Yes that's good. I need you first watch. Yes, keep up the good work. Keep up the good work. (He leaves leaving three people shocked and confused about his behaviour.) ___________________________________ 17. POWER ROOM (BILL takes out the Bernalium rods from the laser.) BILL: These are no good anyway. They're covered in plastic. CHANG: Laleham and Vallance bought back a load of Bernalium from the rocket. BILL: Well just don't stand there, go and grab a dozen sticks. With a bit of luck, we can replace these and reassemble in a couple of hours. Well, go on. Chop Chop CHANG: I'm on my way. (CHANG walks out of the room.......) ___________________________________ 18. LOADING BAY (............and goes to the loading bay. It is seemingly deserted as CHANG descends a ladder to examine the opened Bernalium boxes. However, the open crate with an obviously false bottom soon diverts his curiosity. A stubby metallic hand clutches his shoulder before he can continue investigating. He staggers back in horror on realising the threat posed by the powerful silver giants. LALEHAM and VALLANCE, now out of their spacesuits, do nothing as CHANG turns to them for help.) CHANG: Help me! (CHANG makes some desperate gestures of resistance, but the aliens viciously terminate his life by activating lethal energy bursts from their chest units. LALEHAM and VALLANCE then pick up the boxes of rods and carry them up the ladder while the Cybermen turn to the body.) ___________________________________ 19. OPERATIONS ROOM (A light shines up on Tanya's panel as Leo comes in.) TANYA: Enrico? ENRICO: Hmm. (LEO walks in.) TANYA: Oh, hello Leo. ENRICO: Hello Chief. TANYA: Have you any notes of anybody using the waste incinerator in the loading bay. ENRICO: No, I don't think so. I'll check. LEO: What's the problem? TANYA: Someone has just used the incinerator in the loading bay. ENRICO: No, no, there's nothing here. LEO: Hmm, you better put it in the log, Tanya. Someone for the high jump. ___________________________________ 20. POWER ROOM (BILL hears VALLANCE and LALEHAM come back with the boxes.) BILL: (thinking that it is Chang) Hello boy, hey good on ya. (He sees who it is.) Where's Chang? LALEHAM: (dull) Cut his hand - gone to the Medical bay. BILL: Trust him. VALLANCE: (dull) Anything to be done? BILL: Yea, you can open up a box of rods. (Turns back to the laser.) Got this problem licked. I just hope that the rods are the right dimension. That's all. LALEHAM: (dull) They are. BILL: Since when have you been a expert. (The controlled humans open the box as BILL continues to work.) VALLANCE: (dull) The laser has to be made operative. Or the meteorites will destroy the Wheel. (He states this as if it is his only purpose in life.) BILL: (sarcastic) No! Why do you think I'm sweating my back off here. (He laughs. LALEHAM removes a rod and takes it up to BILL. VALLANCE is out of earshot.) Here, what's up with him? (LALEHAM ignores the question.) LALEHAM: (dull) They're the right ones. (BILL looks at them.) BILL: Yes, so they are. You must be psychic. But don't tell the old man. He doesn't believe in ESP. (He fits the rod in.) Hey, this is perfect, marvellous. VALLENCE: (dull) When will the repair be finished? BILL: Won't be done at all if you keep yakking. VALLENCE: (dull) The meteorites must not strike the Wheel. BILL: Sheech, that's all that worries you doesn't it. Oh, don't worry, don't worry. It be a close call but I bet I have this laser ready and in operation in six to seven hours. So you can sleep in your bed like babies; the pair of you. Daddy won't let anything happen to you. (He turns back to the laser and starts work again, whistling.) Now, (talking over his shoulder) if you really want to make yourselves useful.... (He is aware of a presence behind him. He slowly turns to face one of the Cyberman. The creature emits a mesmerising light-beam from its forehead. Bill falls to his knees and lets out an agonised scream as his mind is taken over. He then stands up.) CYBERMAN 1: The Wheel must be protected from the meteorites. We will assemble your laser defence rays. You will go to Central Control. BILL: (dull) Central Control? LALEHAM: (dull) The Operations Room CYBERMAN 1: These are your orders. ___________________________________ 21. GEMMA'S OFFICE (GEMMA is working at her desk when she hears a knock at the door. ZOE opens the door and enters the office.) GEMMA: Oh Zoe, it's you. What do you want? ZOE: Well, it's rather difficult to explain. GEMMA: What is it? ZOE: Well, I've done a report. Some calculations I've been doing. I was ordered to forget them. GEMMA: (surprised.) Ordered?! By whom?! What report!? ZOE: My calculations on the orbital path of the meteorite storm. I found a new element which indicated a critical state and I reported my findings to the Controller. GEMMA: And he ignored them. ZOE: Yes. You don't sound very surprised. GEMMA: No. ZOE: He said that it was all perfectly normal but it isn't. GEMMA: He's getting worse. ZOE: Is he ill? GEMMA: I don't know yet. ZOE: Well, if he is he has chosen a rather inconvenient time hasn't he? GEMMA: (half-puzzled and half-disgusted) Do you ever do anything emotional, Zoe. ZOE: Emotional. You know that's the second time I've been asked that in the last couple of hours. Leo Ryan said that I was "all brains and no heart." GEMMA: (understanding) Yes, it's your training. I wouldn't worry about it. ZOE: But I do. I don't want to be thought of as a freak. Leo said that I was like a robot, a machine. I think he's right. My head has been pumped full of facts and figures which I reel out automatically when needed, but I want to feel things as well. GEMMA: (pleased) Good. Unfortunately the para-psychologist at the city tends to ignore this aspect in his pupils. Some of them never fully develop their human emotions. ZOE: You don't think I be like that, do you? GEMMA: No. You seemed to have survived their brain-washing techniques remarking well. ZOE: (with relief) Oh good. GEMMA: Now about these calculations........ ___________________________________ 22. OPERATIONS ROOM (The DOCTOR is being shown round by LEO and TANYA. JAMIE is in the background) TANYA: And this last one is how we check everything. DOCTOR: I see. LEO: Anything that uses energy on the Wheel, however small is registered on this wall. From a coffee-grinder up .. DOCTOR: Do you have any coffee? LEO: Would you like some? DOCTOR: I'd love some, I really would. (TANYA offers a tablet to the Doctor.) TANYA: A repellent. Would you like one? DOCTOR: That's very kind of you. (He mumbles about the controls and then GEMMA and ZOE arrive on the bridge. GEMMA signals to LEO.) LEO: Excuse me Doctor. Tanya. (TANYA gives the Doctor his coffee and then goes and joins the group. JAMIE joins the DOCTOR.) JAMIE: Doctor, don't forget we need that mercury stuff for the TARDIS. DOCTOR: No, Jamie, I haven't forgotten. I'm worried about the TARDIS. If I'm right and those Cybermen are.... (He notices the group.) What's going on? (JAMIE spots ZOE.) JAMIE: Let's find out. (They join ZOE.) DOCTOR: What's going on Zoe? ZOE: I ran some new calculations on the orbital path of the meteorite storm. They're heading toward us faster than we thought. JAMIE: Don't you have any cheerful news? ZOE: These are facts. And these are irrefutable. DOCTOR: I wouldn't dream of contradicting you. Can... Can you repair the laser gun in time? ZOE: Well, that's not the worry. The Controller. I went to him with the new data on the meteorites and he just bashed the whole thing aside. DOCTOR: Oh dear, he's getting worse. ZOE: That what Dr. Corwyn said. He is ill isn't he? DOCTOR: Why aren't you worried about the laser gun. I thought that all of the Bernalium has been destroyed. ZOE: Oh no, some more turned up. DOCTOR: Oh good. ZOE: Yes, two of the men bought a crate of it over from the rocket. DOCTOR: (happy) Er. (then changes to obvious concern.) What?! What did you say? ZOE: Well, that's what Flannigan said. I met him when he was going off duty. (The DOCTOR dashes over to GEMMA) DOCTOR: Gemma! Gemma, did you know about this Bernalium from the rocket? GEMMA: Yes, Tanya told me. DOCTOR: But don't you see what it means. The Cybermen are here. They came over in that crate. GEMMA: But how can our two men have bought them over. DOCTOR: But they didn't know what they were doing. They were obeying orders. GEMMA: The Cybermen's hypnotiser. DOCTOR: Yes, you can put it like that. GEMMA: We not exactly children, Doctor. All space-men are protected against brain-control by drugs. DOCTOR: Yes but.... but a neuro-topical drug is only affective against a known enemy. Have you introduced repulsion in all parts of the brain yet? GEMMA: No but there are the planted Silenski capsules. It gives off a signal when there is an adverse influence against the wearer. DOCTOR: How can we check? GEMMA: (calls to TANYA) Tanya, I want to check the Silenski circuit. TANYA: But I shall have to activate the whole defence network. GEMMA: I authorise the extra power. (TANYA crosses to the particular panel with the DOCTOR. While they are doing this BILL enters the room.) TANYA: Watch the lines. If there isn't everything is normal. DOCTOR: I see. TANYA: Try this room first. DOCTOR: Yes, yes. (to GEMMA) Is that all right? (GEMMA nods. Nearby JAMIE and ZOE have spotted BILL.)

DOCTOR: How can we check? GEMMA: (calls to TANYA) Tanya, I want to check the Silenski circuit. TANYA: But I shall have to activate the whole defence network. GEMMA: I authorise the extra power. (TANYA crosses to the particular panel with the DOCTOR. While they are doing this BILL enters the room.) TANYA: Watch the lines. If there isn't everything is normal. DOCTOR: I see. TANYA: Try this room first. DOCTOR: Yes, yes. (to GEMMA) Is that all right? (GEMMA nods. Nearby JAMIE and ZOE have spotted BILL.) JAMIE: What's he walking about for. I thought that he was under guard or something. ZOE: So did I. Bill, has the Controller..... (BILL walks past them and slowly walks towards the communicator panel.) TANYA: Here, Wait a minute. Look. (A line can be seen on the monitor.) GEMMA: Someone is affected Doctor. You were right. TANYA: Someone in this room. DOCTOR: Er, can't we pin it down to an individual. TANYA: I cordoned the room off. (BILL gets closer and closer and we can see that he has a spanner in his hand.) Over there. (She points to the communication panel. BILL raises the spanner.) In the direction of...... (She is too late as BILL starts to attack the communication equipment.) DOCTOR: Oh, stop him. (ENRICO is hurled from his chair and even an attack from JAMIE isn't much use as he is casually thrown aside by the possessed man, as he attacks the communication panel like there is no tomorrow. LEO pulls out a blaster and shoots BILL before any more damage can be done. As the blaster haze subsides BILL falls to the ground with a scream. The DOCTOR approaches the body and checks him over.) He's dead. (He stands up, his face grim. This death must not go unpunished.) Now listen... listen everyone, the Cybermen are here, in this Wheel. They took over this poor fellow to stop you sending to Earth or signalling for help. LEO: But..... DOCTOR: Just a minute. Gemma, you must alert the whole Wheel and you need something stronger than drugs to stop your people from being taken over. It doesn't matter how crude it is. A metal plate and a transistor will do. Tape them to the back of the neck. It will absorb the Cyber control signal. LEO: I can do that. DOCTOR: Yes. Good. TANYA: (to LEO) I'll help you. DOCTOR: Right. (He joins JAMIE.) JAMIE: What do we do? DOCTOR: We're going hunting Jamie. JAMIE: Are you sure who is going to be hunted. DOCTOR: That is a very good question. Come on. (they leave the bridge and ZOE goes over to LEO and TANYA.) ZOE: Can I do something? TANYA: No. ZOE: Is there anything I can do. TANYA: Well, all right........ (ZOE starts to help.) ___________________________________ 23. LOADING BAY (The DOCTOR and JAMIE edge down the steps to the loading bay. After looking about for a moment, JAMIE sees the crate that they are looking for.) JAMIE: Doctor, there it is. DOCTOR: Jamie, I know, now shush. (They soon discover the crate's false bottom. However a noise is heard - Someone is coming down the steps. They both whisper to each other and they both hide behind the crate to see who it is....... It's a CYBERMAN. It descends the steps, crosses over to one of the boxes of Bernalium. However, if it turns around it will see the DOCTOR and JAMIE......) ___________________________________ Dr Who --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 270 DR WHO/BRIT SCIF Ref: EFG00006Date: 11/11/97 From: ARTIMUS BROWN Time: 12:48pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: The Wheel In Space 5/6 ___________________________________ THE WHEEL IN SPACE EPISODE 5 by DAVID WHITAKER (from a story by KIT PEDLER) first broadcast - 25th May 1968 running time - 22mins 57secs ___________________________________ 1.LOADING BAY (The DOCTOR and JAMIE edge down the steps to the loading bay. After looking about for a moment, JAMIE sees the crate that they are looking for.) JAMIE: Doctor, there it is. DOCTOR: Jamie, I know, now shush. (They both go over to have a look at it. They both speak in whispers.) JAMIE: It's safe? DOCTOR: Yes, this is it. JAMIE: But can they...... (They soon discover the crate's false bottom. However a noise is heard - Someone is coming down the steps. They both whisper to each other and hide behind the crate to see who it is....... It's a CYBERMAN. It descends the steps, crosses over to one of the boxes of Bernalium. However, if it turns around it will see the DOCTOR and JAMIE...... Instead it effortlessly lifts the box, carrying it back to the steps. It quickly ascends, vanishing from sight. After they are sure that it has gone, The DOCTOR and JAMIE come out of cover.) JAMIE: That was close. DOCTOR: So easy. JAMIE: What? DOCTOR: I don't understand them. JAMIE: What are you talking about? DOCTOR: Destroying the wheel Jamie, that's what I am talking about. From the outside it is strong enough but now that the Cybermen are inside I.... JAMIE: Yes, I see what you mean... What do you think they are planning? DOCTOR: Well, it obviously don't want to destroy the wheel. JAMIE: What do they want then? DOCTOR: I wish I knew. The first thing that we must do is to protect the people here. JAMIE: How? DOCTOR: What's the thing we need to survive which the Cybermen don't? JAMIE: Food. DOCTOR: You're always thinking of your stomach aren't you? No. Air, Jamie, air! (He crosses to the communicator) Now I wonder how this works..... ___________________________________ 2. OPERATIONS ROOM (The communicator bleeps and TANYA goes to answer it. The face of the DOCTOR appears.) TANYA: It's the Doctor. (Both GEMMA and LEO come over to watch.) DOCTOR: (oov) Hello, I think that it would be wise to lock all of the air-lock doors. Can you do that? LEO: Yes. TANYA: (to the DOCTOR) Leo says that he can. Why? DOCTOR: (oov) The Cybermen are definitely on the Wheel. Jamie and I have just seen one. They may try interfering with the air supply. JAMIE: Doctor..... DOCTOR: (to the watchers) Keep this channel open. JAMIE: Something moved over there - just out of the corner of my eye. (They both turn to have a look.) GEMMA: What's wrong? TANYA: I don't know. LEO: Shall I seal off the airlocks, Gem? GEMMA: Yes. (LEO goes across to the console and seals the airlocks.) LEO: (from console.) Sealing off all the airlocks. TANYA: (to GEMMA) I suppose that we can trust the Doctor? GEMMA: Not sure why I do but I do. Sealing off the airlocks is good common sense anyway. ___________________________________ 3. LOADING BAY JAMIE: It's there. (It's a Cybermat. They both draw back, wary of the approaching device. The DOCTOR turns to the communicator as JAMIE keeps a eye on it.) DOCTOR: (to communicator.) Listen to me very carefully. Do as I ask and don't delay. One of the Cybermats is very close to us. It will tune into our brain waves at any minute. (The Cybermat is getting closer.) JAMIE: Doctor! It's turning! DOCTOR: Hook up a audio-frequency on this channel right away. Do it at once! ___________________________________ 4. OPERATIONS ROOM (GEMMA turns to ENRICO who is doing something.) GEMMA: Enrico, leave that. (He does and comes over to GEMMA.) ___________________________________ 5. LOADING BAY (A second Cybermat has arrived.) JAMIE: There's a second one. (He starts to move towards the stairs.) JAMIE: Come on. DOCTOR: No. (He holds on to JAMIE.) DOCTOR: We don't stand a chance. They've got a range of at least ten feet. ___________________________________ 6. OPERATIONS ROOM DOCTOR: (oov) Hurry, please hurry. GEMMA: Come on Enrico. (ENRICO is working through the circuits.) ENRICO: All right, all right! (He stands up.) (To his technician) That's it. Power! (A high-pitch noise is heard.) (To his technician) Come on! Come on! Come on! (The high-pitch grows louder and higher.) ___________________________________ 7. LOADING BAY (The sound reaches the Loading Bay. Both the DOCTOR and JAMIE are forced to cover their ears. The Cybermats begin to spasmodically lose control. They run across the room in some kind of metal agony. They spin round and collide as the noise increases and decreases in pitch and intensity. One of the two begins to emanate thick smoke while the other slams into a wall, disintegrating with a burst of light and noise.) ___________________________________ 8. OPERATIONS ROOM GEMMA: That's enough Enrico. (ENRICO turns the power down and the sound stops.) ___________________________________ 9. LOADING BAY (The DOCTOR and JAMIE take their hands down.) DOCTOR: We're coming back as fast as we can. (The DOCTOR picks up a destroyed Cybermat and shows it to the communicator.) This is what you have saved us from. ___________________________________ 10. OPERATIONS ROOM TANYA: What that's thing? ZOE: It's a Cybermat? DOCTOR: Exactly. ___________________________________ 11. POWER ROOM (Meanwhile a Cyberman opens a communicator and soon the picture of the CYBER-PLANNER appears.) ___________________________________ 12. OPERATIONS ROOM (TANYA is now by the controls.) TANYA: Leo. (LEO comes up and joins her.) There is an energy reading coming from the power house. (LEO checks some of his readings.) LEO: It's not coming off our power source that's for sure. Let's check it out. ___________________________________ 13. POWER ROOM CYBERMAN 1: All Cybermats have been destroyed. CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) Destroyed? By what method. CYBERMAN 1: They have used high-current phase contrast. CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) One human must have knowledge above our predictions. Report. CYBERMAN 1: The X-ray laser machine is repaired. CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) And operative? CYBERMAN 1: Yes. In stage of operation. CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) Communication beam to Earth? CYBERMAN 1: Attacked and damaged. CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) Phase Six. CYBERMAN 1: Yes. CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) The space station is to be taken over. Complete Phase Six. (The CYBER-PLANNER fades from sight.) ___________________________________ 14. OPERATIONS ROOM (ENRICO and TANYA are talking about the damage from the attack by Bill Duggan. LEO is trying to work the Communicator.) LEO: (into the Communicator) Workshop! Workshop would you come in please? ENRICO: Well, Bill Duggan knew the right spot OK. TANYA: What about radar? ENRICO: The radar's fine but the radio's kaput. TANYA: When is the next check to Earth Central? ENRICO: 0300. In two hours time. TANYA: Set up a check on the first wave of the meteorites. ENRICO: I don't see the point. We haven't got a laser to knock them out with. TANYA: Don't be pessimistic Enrico. They may not have a direct course on us so anything can happen. ENRICO: Everything is. (They both turn to LEO who just joined them.) LEO: Blimey, you'd think that we are alone on the Wheel. I can't raise anybody. TANYA: Have you told Gemma? LEO: She's got her hands full as it is. (Nearby, the DOCTOR and GEMMA are talking to JARVIS while ZOE is holding the Cybermat.) GEMMA: Jarvis. Jarvis, look at the creature. (JARVIS doesn't look at it.) Show it to him Zoe. (ZOE moves forward and presents it under his nose, but JARVIS looks like he doesn't want to see it or believe that it is there.) JARVIS: No. No, it's not true. Not true. GEMMA: All right Zoe. Put it away somewhere. (ZOE moves away with the creature.) (To the DOCTOR.) Complete withdrawal. Loss of effect. DOCTOR: But not necessary complete. Hmm, catatonic feature certainly. GEMMA: I can try ECT. He could be shocked back to normal. DOCTOR: Is the equipment here? GEMMA: No it is in the Medical bay. DOCTOR: Oh, I wouldn't advise moving him. You've thrown a magnetic forcefield about this section. GEMMA: Yes. DOCTOR: Enough to keep the Cybermen out? GEMMA: Enough to keep anything out. The crew have been warned. Oh.. DOCTOR: No, it's no good. You are second-in-command. You must take over. GEMMA: Take over what? We're invaded. We have no contact with Earth, we are in the path of meteorites. Take over what? How do we fight without the laser? (Nearby ZOE looks after JARVIS. JAMIE comes over to join her.) JAMIE: How is he? ZOE: Hopeless. JAMIE: Well, that's just fine. ZOE: He just closed himself away. JAMIE: Who is the second in command? ZOE: Dr. Corwyn. JAMIE: At least she's all right. ZOE: Yes, but what she can do I don't know. JAMIE: (a little happy at having something that he can gloat over) Oh, there's is something that you don't know then. ZOE: There's too much I don't know. I was trained to believe that logic and calculation would provide me with all the answers. Well I'm just beginning to realise there are questions which I can't answer. JAMIE: You're just not trained for a emergency like this. ZOE: Well, that's the whole point! What good am I. I've been created for some false kind of existence where only known kinds of emergencies are catered for. What good is that to me now? JAMIE: Hey, we are not done yet you know. ZOE: And if we survive? What then, Jamie? Suppose that we do get ourselves out of this mess - what have I got left? A blind reliance on facts and logic? (It's clear that ZOE's self-confidence is in tatters and she walks away. Back at the communicator LEO is trying to get through to the Oxygen Supply Room.) LEO: (a little annoyed) Section Twelve, Section Twelve. Will you please come in? ___________________________________ 15. OXYGEN SUPPLY ROOM (Even through the Communicator is bleeping there is nobody to answer it. Another body is casually thrown on the floor by a murderous Cyberman.) ___________________________________ 16. OPERATION ROOM LEO: (into communicator) Calling power house, calling power house. Power house will you please come in. ___________________________________ 17. POWER ROOM (The communicator bleeps in the power room, where FLANNIGAN is. Just as he turns to answer it, the controlled VALLANCE and LALEHAM walk into the room.) FLANNIGAN: Oh, it's yourself. Why don't you answer this thing. Sounded like a bit violent. VALLANCE: (dull) It's not important. (The Communicator stops bleeping.) FLANNIGAN: Nah, it could be the old man himself you know. Well, is this laser working yet is it? LALEHAM: (in the same tone as VALLANCE) Yes. Finished. FLANNIGAN: Well are we not going to get rid of the meteorites then? VALLANCE: (dull) No. FLANNIGAN: (a little testily as the Communicator starts again.) Well, that's great. I got a whole year leave coming to me back on Earth. Now come on. (He reaches for the communicator.) LALEHAM: (dull) Don't touch that. FLANNIGAN: You just can't ignore it. What is it? What's the matter with you two hey? VALLANCE: (dull) Do as you are told. FLANNIGAN: Hey, have you both gone mad or what? (VALLANCE draws his blaster and points it at FLANNIGAN.) Don't point that thing at me laddie. (FLANNIGAN knocks the weapons from both VALLANCE and LALEHAM's hands. A violent struggle erupts While LALEHAM tries to hit FLANNIGAN with a metal bar, and VALLANCE dives for his blaster, FLANNIGAN fights for all his worth. He is more than capable of holding his own.) FLANNIGAN: All right, if it is a fight that you are after, I'm your man. Come on. (The fight goes on.) (above the noise of the struggle) You need a few lessons in the noble and manly art, my buckle! All right, come on! (They fight on. VALLANCE fires into the struggle with his blaster just as FLANNIGAN turns around with LALEHAM around his neck. The blaster shot goes into LALEHAM's back, causing him to crumple to the floor and die. VALLANCE is in shock from his actions and this causes his mind to be freed from the Cybermen's control. Meanwhile, behind FLANNIGAN the door opens and a CYBERMAN enters. While FLANNIGAN stares at the silver giant the control beam from the CYBERMAN's head-piece is activated causing both VALLANCE and now FLANNIGAN to fall under the Cybermen's control again.) CYBERMAN 1: The Earth machine has been installed? VALLANCE: (back in his slurred dull voice) Yes. CYBERMAN 1: A force field has been set around the Operations control room. How is it operated? VALLANCE: (dull) Only from within the Operations Room. (The Cyberman now sees LALEHAM's body.) CYBERMAN 1: Dispose of the body of the human. (They drag the body away.) ___________________________________ 18. OPERATIONS ROOM (ZOE is trying to get JARVIS to drink some water.) ZOE: Come on some more. Just a little more. JARVIS: (dully) No, no more. GEMMA: (to ZOE) Don't force him. Give him whatever he wants. (The DOCTOR meanwhile has been watching LEO's attempt to get someone on the communicator.) DOCTOR: Well I am not surprised that you can't get in touch with the rest of the Wheel. JAMIE: Aye, the Cybermen are not just going to sit around doing nothing. GEMMA: But can they still control our people. I thought that..... DOCTOR: The metal plates you mean. Has everybody had them fitted to the back of their necks? GEMMA: No, not yet. There are still some crew members without. DOCTOR: Well, it would be advisable to have it done. LEO: (from the other end of the room.) Coming through now! (The rest except for JARVIS rush over to the radar which has just reported the meteorites.) ENRICO: Thought we lost it for a moment there. (The blips on the radar show that the meteorites are now very close. They can all listen to the noise of the meteorites getting closer and closer.) Hey, will you listen to that! Now this is a big storm, bigger than we thought. LEO: All right, all right, don't make it worse. GEMMA: We have to rely on the anti-matter field projectors. ENRICO: You don't think that the meteorite is going to bounce off them do you? We are talking about things that weigh two to three hundred tons here. GEMMA: How far away are they? ENRICO: See for yourself. Less than a million miles now. Closing on an elliptical path tilted ten degrees. (The Communicator bleeps.) LEO: Well, thank goodness for that. (LEO runs across and presses the button. The picture of FLANNIGAN appears on the screen.) FLANNIGAN: (oov & dull) Power room! LEO: Flannigan! Where have you been? FLANNIGAN: (oov and dull) Storing the laser discharge. LEO: What was that? FLANNIGAN: (oov and dull) It has been completed. LEO: The laser's repaired?! FLANNIGAN: (oov and dull) It is ready for testing now. LEO: Great. (to the others.) The laser's working. (There are sounds of relief.) Stand by to run a test. (to the communicator) Flannigan, where have you been? I have been calling you for ages. FLANNIGAN: (oov and dull) There must be a fault on the line. Vallance is here with me. We are ready when you are ready. LEO: Right. ___________________________________ 19. OUTSIDE WHEEL (A partition opens on one of the other sections of the Wheel, spawning a huge laser cannon. The weapon slowly repositions itself as the crew calibrate a new angle. With a relatively short effective range there is little room for error.) ___________________________________ 20. OPERATIONS ROOM (LEO has moved from the communicator and is now in his chair.) ENRICO: (slightly panicky) We are cutting it too fine, they are coming in too fast. Seven hundred thousand now. Six-ninety, Six-eighty. The speed of them is fantastic. LEO: Take position from radar calibration estimates. ENRICO: Angle ninety on zero-four, zero-two. Distance now six-ten thousand, Six-dead, Five-ninety..... JAMIE: (to GEMMA) What's the range of your machine? GEMMA: Fifty thousand total destruction, ninety thousand partial. DOCTOR: Well, it would be well not to miss isn't it. (This fails to relieve the tension in the air.) LEO: We'll try a random shot, at least see how the power banks react. (to the others in the room) Stand by to test laser. Blue button. Red on stand-by! ENRICO: Angle eighty on zero-four, zero-one now. Distance closing - five hundred thousand dead. Four-ninety, four-eighty. LEO: (calls to TANYA) Tanya, take a power reading on this. (to the others) And fire! (We hear the laser fire) TANYA: Power maximum and normal. LEO: (turns his chair around and speaks confidently) Well everybody, I think that we stand a chance. ___________________________________ 21. SPACE (The meteorites continues to rush inexorably toward them.) ___________________________________ 22. OPERATIONS ROOM ENRICO: Angle eighty-eight on zero-four, zero-one and holding. Distance closing three-fifty thousand, three-forty, three-thirty. Angle change. Eighty- seven on zero-four-zero point nine-nine recurring. Distance two-eighty thousand. Two-seventy, Two-sixty. LEO: Stand by for further tests on lasers. TANYA: Power max one hundred. Power packs green and ready. LEO: Red on stand-by. Fire. (The laser is fired again.) TANYA: Power maximum and normal. All systems operating. LEO: Stand-by for test blanket fire. Red on stand-by. TANYA: Power max one thousand, all systems green and ready. LEO: Red on stand-by. Fire. (The laser is fired.) TANYA: Power maximum and normal. All systems are operative. LEO: (cheerfully) Well, let them all come. We're ready for them. DOCTOR: I think that it is reasonable to assume that the Cybermen caused that star to go nova. GEMMA: Deliberately causing the meteorites to deflect from their orbit. To destroy the wheel. DOCTOR: No! Not to destroy the Wheel. To make you want to use the laser. Then they sent in their Cybermats to attack the laser and to destroy the Bernalium. JAMIE: (catching on) And then you search that drifting rocket and find a big crate. DOCTOR: With the Cybermen inside it. JAMIE: Aye. DOCTOR: It is the only way they could get into the Wheel. GEMMA: And now you think they repaired the laser. JAMIE: They must have done, otherwise they would be smashing up the Wheel wouldn't they. DOCTOR: So you see this isn't just an attack by an alien race on a space station. The Cybermen have another purpose. GEMMA: What? DOCTOR: They have an over-riding ambition to invade the Earth, plunder its mineral wealth. Somehow they can see a way of doing it through this Wheel. GEMMA: But how can we stop them? DOCTOR: I don't know. GEMMA: Presumedly these Cybermen deposed of the crew of the rocket in space. DOCTOR: (in thought) Hmm.. yes. (to JAMIE) Jamie, the Time Vector Generator from the TARDIS. Where is it? JAMIE: Oh you mean the gold rod thing? DOCTOR: Yes, yes. JAMIE: You got it. I put it your pocket in the rocket. DOCTOR: Are you sure? JAMIE: Yes? (The DOCTOR checks his pockets.) DOCTOR: But I haven't got it. JAMIE: You must have. Not unless it falling out when they were moving you. Is it important? DOCTOR: Important? Someone will have to go over to the rocket and get it. JAMIE: Good luck to them. Who's going? DOCTOR: Well, if Gemma can spare someone to show you how to make the journey.... JAMIE: (in shock) ME!? DOCTOR: Yes, of course. You're the only one who knows what it looks like besides me and I am much too busy. Besides it is your fault that it is lost. JAMIE: Mine? DOCTOR: Well isn't it? JAMIE: (confused) Well yes.. no.. Dr. Corwyn.. Oh Doctor. Och. ___________________________________ 23. OXYGEN SUPPLY ROOM (This is some kind of control room since there are controls and some kind of lamps in the background. VALLANCE is here standing behind his CYBERMAN master who is communicating with the CYBER-PLANNER via the Cybermen's communicator.) CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) The meteorite shower is approaching the Wheel. CYBERMAN 1: The weapons of the Earth humans have been tested and are operating. CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) Phase six can be completed. CYBERMAN 1: The Earth humans have set up a neutron field barrier on the perimeter of the section containing their room of Operations. CYBER-PLANNER: (oov) Do not complete Phase Six. Initiate Plan Three. (The CYBERMAN stands and turns to VALLANCE.) CYBERMAN 1: Follow me. (VALLANCE obeys.) ___________________________________ 24. CORRIDOR (GEMMA is taking JAMIE and ZOE to the Oxygen Supply Room where there is the nearest airlock.) GEMMA: (into communicator) Replace the field barrier now! We're through. ZOE: I see that it's clear ahead. (She moves forward.) JAMIE: I still don't see why you should send a wee thing like that with me. GEMMA: She is the only one I can spare who knows enough about space-drill who can get you across to that rocket safely. JAMIE: Maybe so. I still think that I will be better by myself. GEMMA: Do you? I wouldn't be too sure if I were you. ___________________________________ 25. OPERATIONS ROOM (LEO is furious that ZOE is going to the rocket. He rounds on the DOCTOR.) LEO: Have you gone off your head?! DOCTOR: She... She agreed to go. LEO: She had no right to agree. And you've got no right to let her. DOCTOR: I had to. Jamie will look after her. LEO: Have you any idea of the dangers they'll face between the Wheel and the rocket? And you send Zoe and your friend out into an area which is bound to be bombarded by small debris, quite apart from the radiation and thermal shock. DOCTOR: Well, they knew the risk. Zoe calculated it. (This makes LEO angrier.) LEO: Oh yes. Zoe calculated it! And what about Gemma, hey? What if Gemma meets up with one of those Cyberman things? ENRICO: Coming in to range now sir. LEO: All right. (to the DOCTOR.) Now you don't do anything unless I say so. Clear? (to TANYA) Tanya, take a power reading on this. (to ENRICO) Rico, calculate distance and direction. (to the others.) All systems on stand-by. ___________________________________ 26. OXYGEN SUPPLY ROOM (Inside GEMMA, ZOE and JAMIE find the murdered crewman. GEMMA checks the body.) JAMIE: He's dead? GEMMA: Yes, I'm afraid so. (to ZOE) Zoe, the emergency exit. (ZOE goes to the back of the room and enters an airlock.) GEMMA: You'll find space equipment in the airlock. (ZOE opens the airlock door.) ZOE: Come on, Jamie. JAMIE: All right. You better take that. (He hands GEMMA a blaster and enters the airlock.) GEMMA: Good luck! JAMIE: Thank you. (The airlock door closes.) ___________________________________ 27. OPERATIONS ROOM (The communicator bleeps and the DOCTOR uses it to get GEMMA on the screen.) DOCTOR: Yes? GEMMA: (oov) We're through. No problems. DOCTOR: Good. ENRICO: Main concentration coming into range. LEO: Crossover on vector link. Countdown is from now. ENRICO: Well, this is the big stuff. Angle ninety on channel-3. Distance - one hundred thousand miles. ___________________________________ 28. SPACE (The meteorites come into range of the laser.) ___________________________________ 29. OXYGEN SUPPLY ROOM (GEMMA hears a noise as she prepares to leave and ducks for cover when VALLANCE and the CYBERMAN enter the room. The CYBERMAN and VALLANCE stand by a control console) CYBERMAN 1: This controls the oxygen on the Space Station. VALLANCE: (dull) Yes. CYBERMAN 1: Open it.

CYBERMAN 1: The Earth machine has been installed? VALLANCE: (back in his slurred dull voice) Yes. CYBERMAN 1: A force field has been set around the Operations control room. How is it operated? VALLANCE: (dull) Only from within the Operations Room. (The Cyberman now sees LALEHAM's body.) CYBERMAN 1: Dispose of the body of the human. (They drag the body away.) ___________________________________ 18. OPERATIONS ROOM (ZOE is trying to get JARVIS to drink some water.) ZOE: Come on some more. Just a little more. JARVIS: (dully) No, no more. GEMMA: (to ZOE) Don't force him. Give him whatever he wants. (The DOCTOR meanwhile has been watching LEO's attempt to get someone on the communicator.)

Now this is a big storm, bigger than we thought. LEO: All right, all right, don't make it worse. GEMMA: We have to rely on the anti-matter field projectors. ENRICO: You don't think that the meteorite is going to bounce off them do you? We are talking about things that weigh two to three hundred tons here. GEMMA: How far away are they? ENRICO: See for yourself. Less than a million miles now. Closing on an elliptical path tilted ten degrees. (The Communicator bleeps.) LEO: Well, thank goodness for that. (LEO runs across and presses the button. The picture of FLANNIGAN appears on the screen.) FLANNIGAN: (oov & dull) Power room! LEO: Flannigan! Where have you been? FLANNIGAN: (oov and dull) Storing the laser discharge. LEO: What was that? FLANNIGAN: (oov and dull) It has been completed. LEO: The laser's repaired?! FLANNIGAN: (oov and dull) It is ready for testing now. LEO: Great. (to the others.) The laser's working. (There are sounds of relief.) Stand by to run a test. (to the communicator) Flannigan, where have you been? I have been calling you for ages. FLANNIGAN: (oov and dull) There must be a fault on the line. Vallance is here with me. We are ready when you are ready. LEO: Right. ___________________________________ 19. OUTSIDE WHEEL (A partition opens on one of the other sections of the Wheel, spawning a huge laser cannon. The weapon slowly repositions itself as the crew calibrate a new angle. With a relatively short effective range there is little room for error.) ___________________________________ 20. OPERATIONS ROOM (LEO has moved from the communicator and is now in his chair.) ENRICO: (slightly panicky) We are cutting it too fine, they are coming in too fast. Seven hundred thousand now. Six-ninety, Six-eighty. The speed of them is fantastic. LEO: Take position from radar calibration estimates. ENRICO: Angle ninety on zero-four, zero-two. Distance now six-ten thousand, Six-dead, Five-ninety..... JAMIE: (to GEMMA) What's the range of your machine? GEMMA: Fifty thousand total destruction, ninety thousand partial. DOCTOR: Well, it would be well not to miss isn't it. (This fails to relieve the tension in the air.) LEO: We'll try a random shot, at least see how the power banks react. (to the others in the room) Stand by to test laser. Blue button. Red on stand-by! ENRICO: Angle eighty on zero-four, zero-one now. Distance closing - five hundred thousand dead. Four-ninety, four-eighty. LEO: (calls to TANYA) Tanya, take a power reading on this. (to the others) And fire!

Actually, I loved McGann. The story was somewhat weak, but I was so grateful to see new Who on the screen, that I'd take anything. I probably wouldn't have liked it as much if they didn't bring back McCoy to regenerate him. That alone made it "real who" for me. I would love to see more of McGann.
