We'll see.Copy !req

12. Well, perhaps we'll get one
for the Coronation.Copy !req
13. If you're lucky. We'll see.Copy !req
14. Don't wait up.
I heard they rot your brains.Copy !req

comes pouring out of your ears.Copy !req
16. That's what television does!Copy !req
17. Mr Magpie?Copy !req
18. Oh, Mr Magpie?Copy !req
19. Eh?Copy !req
20. You-hoo! Can you hear me, Magpie?Copy !req
21. Yes.Copy !req
22. I must be dreaming . . .
Oh, no. This isn't a dream.Copy !req
23. I'm going doolally, then.
Not at all, sweetheart.Copy !req
24. Now, are you sitting comfortably?Copy !req
25. Good. Then we'll begin.Copy !req
26. I thought we'd be
going for the Vegas era.Copy !req
27. You know, the white flares
and the chest hair.Copy !req
28. You are kidding! If you wanna see
Elvis, you go for the late Fifties.Copy !req
29. The time before burgers,
when they called him the Pelvis
and he still had a waist!Copy !req
30. What's more, you see him in style!Copy !req
31. You going my way, doll? Is there
any other way to go, daddio?Copy !req
32. Straight from the fridge, man!Copy !req
33. Ah, you speak the lingo!
Yeah, well . . .Copy !req
34. Me, Mum, Cliff Richard movies -
every Bank Holiday Monday. Cliff!Copy !req
35. I knew your mother'd
be a Cliff fan.Copy !req
36. Where're we off to?
Ed Sullivan TV studios.Copy !req
37. Elvis did Hound Dog
and there were complaints.Copy !req
38. Bit of luck, we'll just catch it.
That'd be TV studios in . . .Copy !req
39. What, New York? That's the one!Copy !req
40. Dig that New York vibe!Copy !req
41. Well, this could still be New York.Copy !req
42. I mean,
this looks very New York to me.Copy !req
43. A sort of . . .
Londony New York, mind, but . . .Copy !req
44. What're all the flags for?Copy !req
45. Smashing, innit?Copy !req
46. You'd have thought
they was in the room with ya!Copy !req
47. Fair do's, Tommy, you had a point.Copy !req
48. New television. There, that
should cheer you up a bit, Rita?Copy !req
49. Give us a smile, then, eh?Copy !req
50. I can't. Nothing's the same
any more. Not with her . . .Copy !req
51. Stop going on about it!Copy !req
52. But her face, Eddie.Copy !req
53. What happened to her?Copy !req
54. That awful face. I said, stop it!Copy !req
55. She's awake!Copy !req
56. I think she's hungry.Copy !req
57. There you go, sir!
All wired up for the great occasion.Copy !req
58. Great occasion? What do you mean?
Where you been living,
out in the colonies?Copy !req
59. The Coronation, of course!Copy !req
60. And what Coronation's that, then?Copy !req
61. What do you mean? THE Coronation!Copy !req
62. It's the Queen's! Queen Elizabeth!Copy !req
63. Oh! Is this 1953?
Last time I looked!Copy !req
64. Time for a lovely bit of pomp
and circumstance, what we do best!Copy !req
65. Look at all the TV aerials.Copy !req
66. Looks like everyone's got one.Copy !req
67. That's weird, my nan said
tellys were so rare, they all
had to pile into one house.Copy !req
68. Not around here, love.
Magpie's Marvellous Tellys,
only five quid a pop.Copy !req
69. Oh, but this is a brilliant year,
classic!Copy !req
70. Technicolor, Everest climbed,
everything off the ration.Copy !req
71. A nation throwing off the shadows
of war and looking forward
to a happier, brighter future!Copy !req
72. Someone help me, please! Ted!Copy !req
73. Leave him alone, that's my husband!
Please! What's going on?Copy !req
74. Oi! What are you doing? Police
business, get out of the way, sir.
Who'd they take?Copy !req
75. Do you know him?
Must be Mr Gallagher.Copy !req
76. But it's happening
all over the place -
they're turning into monsters.Copy !req
77. Tommy! Not one word!Copy !req
78. Get inside, now!Copy !req
79. Sorry, I'd better do as he says.Copy !req
80. All aboard!Copy !req
81. Operation Market Stall.
Go! Go! Go!Copy !req
82. Lost them.
How did they get away from us?Copy !req
83. I'm surprised they didn't turn back
and arrest you for reckless driving.
Have you passed your test?Copy !req
84. Men in black?
Vanishing police cars?Copy !req
85. This is Churchill's England,
not Stalin's Russia.Copy !req
86. Monsters, that boy said. Maybe we
should go and ask the neighbours.Copy !req
87. That's what I like about you.Copy !req
88. The domestic approach.Copy !req
89. Thank you.Copy !req
90. Hold on, was that an insult?Copy !req
91. I've finished it.Copy !req
92. As you instructed.Copy !req
93. That's awfully good of you,
Mr Magpie.Copy !req
94. So you'll go soon?
You'll leave me?Copy !req
95. We'll see.Copy !req
96. If you're a very good boy.
Please.Copy !req
97. You're burning me.Copy !req
98. Inside, behind my eyes. It hurts.Copy !req
99. Even my memories hurt.Copy !req
100. I just want things back
like they used to be.Copy !req
101. Oh, but this world of yours is
busy, busy, busy! Forging ahead
into a brand-new age!Copy !req
102. You can never go back,
that's your tragedy.Copy !req
103. But now . . .
the time is almost ripe, Magpie.Copy !req
104. Cometh the hour, cometh the man.Copy !req
105. Or lady.Copy !req
106. Gran?Copy !req
107. Gran, it's me, it's Tommy.Copy !req
108. I'm gonna come in, Gran.
Stand back, just don't . . .Copy !req
109. I'm sorry, but I've got to come in.Copy !req
110. What do you think you're doing?Copy !req
111. We've got to try and help her, Dad.Copy !req
112. Give me that key.Copy !req
113. I said, give me that key, right now.Copy !req
114. Don't think I've finished with you.Copy !req
115. All the warnings
I've given you and every time,
every time, you disobey me!Copy !req
116. But we can't just lock her away.
Excuse me, sunshine. I am talking.Copy !req
117. You can forget
that college nonsense.Copy !req
118. You are gonna come
and work alongside me.Copy !req
119. Get your hands dirty for once.Copy !req
120. Oh, Lord. Won't she ever stop?Copy !req
121. There, there, Rita my sweet.Copy !req
122. Business as usual.Copy !req
123. Now, let's get these up all over the
house, in honour of her Majesty.Copy !req
124. But, Eddie, what if she's dying?
I am talking!Copy !req
125. That's better.
A little bit of hush.Copy !req
126. Hi!Copy !req
127. Who are you, then? Let's see.
Judging by the look of you,Copy !req
128. family man, nice house, fought
in the war, therefore,
I represent Queen and country.Copy !req
129. Just doing a little check of
her forthcoming Majesty's
subjects before the great day.Copy !req
130. Oh, er, very nice, very well kept.
I'd like to congratulate you, Mrs . . .Copy !req
131. Connolly. Rita, I can handle this.
This gentleman's
a proper representative.Copy !req
132. Don't mind the wife,
she rattles on.Copy !req
133. Well, maybe she should
rattle on a bit more.Copy !req
134. I'm not convinced you're
doing your patriotic duty.Copy !req
135. Those flags,
why are they not flying?Copy !req
136. There we are, Rita! I told you!Copy !req
137. Get them up! Queen and Country!
I'm sorry.Copy !req
138. Get it done, do it now.
Hold on a minute.Copy !req
139. Like the gentleman says.
Hold on a minute.
You've got hands, Mr Connolly.Copy !req
140. Two big hands,
so why is that your wife's job?
Well, it's housework, innit?Copy !req
141. And that's a woman's job?
Course it is.Copy !req
142. Mr Connolly,
what gender is the Queen?Copy !req
143. She's a female.
Then are you suggesting
the Queen does the housework?Copy !req
144. No, not at all. Then get busy!Copy !req
145. Right. Yes, sir.Copy !req
146. You'll be proud of us, sir!Copy !req
147. We'll have Union Jack left,
right and centre!
Excuse me, Mr Connolly. Hang on a minute.Copy !req
148. Union Jacks?
Yes, that's right, isn't it?
That's the Union Flag.Copy !req
149. It's the Union Jack
only when it's flown at sea.
Oh! Oh, I'm sorry. I do apologise.Copy !req
150. Well, don't get it wrong again,
there's a good man. Now get to it!Copy !req
151. Right then, nice and comfy.Copy !req
152. At her Majesty's leisure!Copy !req
153. Union Flag?
Mum went out with a sailor.Copy !req
154. I bet she did.
Anyway, I'm the Doctor,
and this is Rose, and you are?Copy !req
155. Tommy.
Well, sit yourself down, Tommy.Copy !req
156. Have a look at this.Copy !req
157. I love telly, don't you? Yeah,
I think it's brilliant. Good man!Copy !req
158. Keep working, Mr C! Now, why
don't you tell me what's wrong?Copy !req
159. Did you say you were a doctor?
Yes, I am.Copy !req
160. Can you help her? Oh, please.
Can you help her, Doctor?Copy !req
161. Now then, Rita, I don't think
the gentleman needs to know . . .
Oh, the gentleman does.Copy !req
162. Tell us what's wrong
and we can help.Copy !req
163. It's all right.
It's all right. Come here.Copy !req
164. Oh, it's all right.
Hold on a minute.Copy !req
165. Queen and Country's one thing,
but this is my house!Copy !req
166. What the . . .
What the hell am I doing?Copy !req
167. Now you listen here, Doctor.Copy !req
168. You may have fancy qualifications,
but what goes on under my roof
is my business!Copy !req
169. Not if people are being . . .
I am talking!Copy !req
170. And I'm not listening!Copy !req
171. Now you are staring into
a deep, dark pit of trouble
if you don't let me help.Copy !req
172. So I'm ordering you, sir -
tell me what's going on!Copy !req
173. She won't stop.Copy !req
174. She never stops.Copy !req
175. We started hearing stories,
all round the place.Copy !req
176. People who . . . changed.
Families keeping it secret,
cos they were scared.Copy !req
177. Then the police started finding out.
We don't know how, no-one does.Copy !req
178. They just turn up,
come to the door and take them,
any time of the day or night.Copy !req
179. Show me.Copy !req
180. Gran?Copy !req
181. It's Tommy. It's all right,
Gran. I've brought help.Copy !req
182. Her face is completely gone.Copy !req
183. Scarcely an electrical impulse left.Copy !req
184. Almost complete neural shut-down,
it's just ticking over.Copy !req
185. It's like her brain's been . . . wiped
clean. What are we gonna do, Doctor?Copy !req
186. We can't even feed her!
We've got company!Copy !req
187. They've come for her! What was
she doing before this happened?Copy !req
188. Tell me, quickly, think! She doesn't
leave the house. She was just . . .Copy !req
189. Hold on, there are three
important, brilliantCopy !req
190. and complicated reasons why
you should listen to me. One . . .Copy !req
191. Doctor!Copy !req
192. Leave her alone,
you'll hurt her! Mum!Copy !req
193. Doctor! Don't hurt her!Copy !req
194. Back inside, Rita.
She's my mother!
Back inside now, I said!Copy !req
195. Hell of a right hook!
Have to watch out for that.Copy !req
196. Don't fight it, back inside!Copy !req
197. Rose! Come on! Get back inside!Copy !req
198. Don't fight it, son. Don't fight it!
Rose! We're gonna lose them again!Copy !req
199. Dad, they took her!
That was Gran, and they took her!
Come on, back inside!Copy !req
200. How did they find her,
who told them?Copy !req
201. You! Get the hell out of my house!Copy !req
202. I'm going, I'm done.Copy !req
203. Nice to meet you, Tommy,
Mrs Connolly.Copy !req
204. And as for you, Mr Connolly,
only an idiot hangs
the Union Flag upside down.Copy !req
205. Shame on you!Copy !req
206. Oh, very good.Copy !req
207. Very good.Copy !req
208. Stay where you are!Copy !req
209. Oh, I'm sorry, miss,
I'm afraid you're too late.Copy !req
210. I was just about to lock the door.Copy !req
211. Yeah? Well, I wanna buy a telly.Copy !req
212. Come back tomorrow. Please.Copy !req
213. You'll be closed, won't you?Copy !req
214. What?Copy !req
215. For the big day?Copy !req
216. The Coronation?Copy !req
217. Yes. Yes, of course. The big day.Copy !req
218. I'm sure you'll find somewhere
to watch it. Please go.Copy !req
219. Seems to me, half of London's
got a television, since you're
practically giving 'em away.Copy !req
220. I have my reasons.
And what are they?Copy !req
221. Hungry!Copy !req
222. Hungry! What's that?Copy !req
223. It's just the television.Copy !req
224. One of these modern programmes.Copy !req
225. Now, I really do think you
should leave, right now.Copy !req
226. Not until you've
answered my questions.Copy !req
227. How come your
televisions are so cheap?
It's my patriotic duty.Copy !req
228. Seems only right that as many folk as
possible get to watch the Coronation.Copy !req
229. We may be losing the Empire,
but we can still be proud!Copy !req
230. 20 million people they reckon'll
be watching. Imagine that!Copy !req
231. And 20 million people
can't be wrong, eh?Copy !req
232. So why don't you get yourself home,
and get up early for the big day?Copy !req
233. No, I'm not leaving till
I've seen everything.Copy !req
234. I need to close.Copy !req
235. Mr Magpie . . .Copy !req
236. something's happening out there.Copy !req
237. Ordinary people are
being struck down and changed,Copy !req
238. and the only new thing
in the house is a television.Copy !req
239. Your television.Copy !req
240. What's going on?Copy !req
241. I knew this would happen.Copy !req
242. I knew I'd be found out.Copy !req
243. All right, then, just you and me.Copy !req
244. You gonna come clean, then?Copy !req
245. What's really in it for you?
For me?Copy !req
246. Perhaps some peace.Copy !req
247. From what? From her.Copy !req
248. But that's just a woman on the
telly, that's just a programme.
What a pretty little girl.Copy !req
249. Oh, my God.
Are you talking to me?Copy !req
250. Yes.
I'm talking to you, little one.Copy !req
251. Unseasonably chilly for the
time of year, don't you think?Copy !req
252. What are you?Copy !req
253. I'm The Wire!Copy !req
254. And I am hungry!Copy !req
255. Magpie, help me!Copy !req
256. Just think of that audience
tomorrow, my dear, all settling
down to watch the Coronation.Copy !req
257. 20 million people.Copy !req
258. Things will never be the same again.Copy !req
259. I'm sorry, so sorry. Help me!Copy !req
260. Good night, children, everywhere.Copy !req
261. Start from the beginning,
tell me everything you know.Copy !req
262. Well, for starters,Copy !req
263. I know you can't wrap
your hand around your elbow
and make your fingers meet.Copy !req
264. Don't get clever with me! You were
there today, at Florizel Street,
and now, breaking into this place.Copy !req
265. Oh, you're connected to this,
make no mistake.Copy !req
266. Well, the thing is,
Detective Inspector Bishop . . .Copy !req
267. How do you know my name?
It's written inside your collar.Copy !req
268. Bless your mum. But I can't help
thinking, Detective Inspector,Copy !req
269. you're not exactly doing much
detective inspecting, are you?Copy !req
270. I'm doing everything in my power.
You're grabbing the faceless people
and hiding them. Don't tell me.Copy !req
271. Orders from above?Copy !req
272. It's Coronation day, the eyes
of the world are on London town,Copy !req
273. so any sort of problem
just gets swept out of sight.Copy !req
274. The nation has an image to maintain.Copy !req
275. But doesn't it drive you mad,
doing nothing? Don't you want to
get out there and investigate?Copy !req
276. Course I do, but . . .Copy !req
277. With all the crowds expected,
we haven't got the manpower.Copy !req
278. Even if we did, this is beyond
anything we've ever seen.Copy !req
279. I just don't know any more.Copy !req
280. 20 years on the force, and
I don't even know where to start.Copy !req
281. We haven't the faintest clue
what's going on. Well . . .Copy !req
282. That could change.Copy !req
283. How?Copy !req
284. Start from the beginning.
Tell me everything you know.Copy !req
285. We started finding them
about a month ago.Copy !req
286. Persons left sans visage.
Heads just . . . blank.Copy !req
287. But is there any sort of pattern?
It's spreading out from North London.Copy !req
288. All over the city -
men, women, kids, grannies.Copy !req
289. Only real lead is there's
been quite a large number in . . .
Florizel Street.Copy !req
290. Found another one, sir. Good man,
Crabtree, here we are, Doctor.Copy !req
291. Take a good look.
See what you can deduce.Copy !req
292. Rose . . .Copy !req
293. You know her?Copy !req
294. Know her? She's . . .Copy !req
295. Found her in the street, apparently,
down by Damascus Road.Copy !req
296. Just abandoned. That's unusual,
that's the first one in the open . . .Copy !req
297. we'll have Torchwood on our backs then . . .Copy !req
298. They did what? I'm sorry?Copy !req
299. They left her where?
Just in the street.Copy !req
300. In the street?
They left her in the street.Copy !req
301. They took her face,
and just chucked her out
and left her in the street.Copy !req
302. And as a result,
that makes things simple.Copy !req
303. Very, very simple.
D'you know why?Copy !req
304. No . . . Because now, Detective
Inspector Bishop, there is no power
on this Earth that can stop me.Copy !req
305. Come on!Copy !req
306. The big day dawns.Copy !req
307. You've had your fun
with your little doctor.Copy !req
308. But now you're left with me, Rita,
so you'll behave yourself.Copy !req
309. And smile!Copy !req
310. Here we go, everyone, here we go!
Grub's up! Grub's up!Copy !req
311. Tuck in, everyone! Tuck in.
Take a sandwich.Copy !req
312. Oh, here we go,
here we go, it's started!Copy !req
313. Look, look, take your places,
sit down, sit down.Copy !req
314. Rita, love, just look at
that telly-box, then!Copy !req
315. Eh, innit marvellous?
The picture's so clear!Copy !req
316. Ere, Bet, I says to Rita, I says,
"You didn't need to get
your hair done special, love.Copy !req
317. "The Queen won't be able
to see you!"Copy !req
318. Where's your old Mum, then?
She can't go missing it!Copy !req
319. Sorry, Mum can't make it down.
Aww! Bless her.Copy !req
320. Maybe we could pop up
and see her later.Copy !req
321. Maybe you could! It's a good idea,
what d'you think, Dad?Copy !req
322. Maybe Aunty Betty could go
and see Gran later!Copy !req
323. Oh, he loves his Gran, this one.Copy !req
324. Proper little mummy's boy all round.
Ooh, you know what
they say about them!Copy !req
325. Eddie, you want to beat that out of him!
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.Copy !req
326. I'll get it.Copy !req
327. '. . will first appear in about 10 minutes' time,
riding in the gold coach of state. 'Copy !req
328. Tommy. Talk to me. I need
to know exactly what happened
inside your house.Copy !req
329. What the blazes 'd you think you're doing?
I wanna help, dad.
Mr. Connolly...Copy !req
330. Shut your face, you!
Whoever you are!Copy !req
331. We can handle this ourselves!Copy !req
332. Listen, you little twerp. You're
hardly out of the bloomin' cradle,Copy !req
333. so I don't expect you to understand.
But I've got a position to maintain.Copy !req
334. People round here respect me.
It matters what people think.Copy !req
335. Is that why you did it, Dad?Copy !req
336. What d'you mean? Did what?
You ratted on Gran.Copy !req
337. How else would the police
know where to look?
Unless some coward told them.Copy !req
338. How dare you?Copy !req
339. You think I fought a war just
so a mouthy little scum like you
could call me a coward?Copy !req
340. You don't get it, do you? You
fought against fascism, remember?Copy !req
341. People telling you how to live . . .
who you could be friends with,
who you could fall in love with!Copy !req
342. Who could live and who had to die!
Don't you get it?Copy !req
343. You were fighting so that
twerps like me could do what
we want, say what we want.Copy !req
344. Now you've become just like them.
You've been informing on everyone,
haven't you? Even Gran.Copy !req
345. All to protect your
precious reputation! Eddie?Copy !req
346. Is that true?Copy !req
347. I did it for us, Rita!Copy !req
348. She was filthy.Copy !req
349. A filthy, disgusting thing.Copy !req
350. She's my mother!Copy !req
351. All the others you informed on?
All the people in our street?
Our friends?Copy !req
352. I had to.Copy !req
353. - I . . . I did the right thing.
- The right thing for us?Copy !req
354. Or for you, Eddie?Copy !req
355. You go, Tommy. Go with
the Doctor and do some good.Copy !req
356. Get away from this house.
It's poison.Copy !req
357. We've had a ruddy monster
under our roof all right . . .
but it weren't my mother!Copy !req
358. Rita!Copy !req
359. Tommy?Copy !req
360. What was all that, then?
That was . . . That was
the sound of something ending.Copy !req
361. And about time too.
Everyone all right?Copy !req
362. Smashing! Nothing's going
to spoil our big day, is it?Copy !req
363. Tommy, tell me about that night.
The night she changed.
She was just watching the telly.Copy !req
364. Rose said it!
She guessed it straight away!Copy !req
365. All these aerials in one
little street. How come?Copy !req
366. Bloke up the road. Mr Magpie.
He's selling them cheap.
Is he now? Come on!Copy !req
367. Ere! You can't do that . . .
Shop!Copy !req
368. If you're here,
come out and talk to me!Copy !req
369. Magpie! Maybe he's out.
Looks like it.Copy !req
370. Oh, hello . . . This isn't right.
This is very much not right.Copy !req
371. Tastes like iron. Bakelite. Knocked
together with human hands, yes.Copy !req
372. But the design itself . . .Copy !req
373. Oh, beautiful work -
that is so simple.Copy !req
374. That's incredible, it's like
a television . . . but portable . . .Copy !req
375. A portable television!Copy !req
376. And it's not the only
power source in this room.Copy !req
377. Gran!Copy !req
378. I'm on my way.Copy !req
379. What do you think you're doing?
I want my friend restored.Copy !req
380. I think that's beyond a little
back street electrician,
so tell me who's in charge!Copy !req
381. Yoo-hoo. I think that must be me.Copy !req
382. Ooh!Copy !req
383. This one's smart as paint!
Is she talking to us?Copy !req
384. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you
brought this on yourselves. May I
introduce you to my new . . . friend?Copy !req
385. Jolly nice to meet you!Copy !req
386. Oh, my God. It's her.
That woman off the telly!Copy !req
387. No. It's just using her image.
What . . . What are you?Copy !req
388. I'm The Wire! And I will
gobble you up, pretty boy!Copy !req
389. Every last morsel!Copy !req
390. And when I have feasted . . .Copy !req
391. I shall regain the corporeal body
which my fellow kind denied me!Copy !req
392. Good Lord. Colour television!Copy !req
393. So your own people tried
to stop you? They executed me.Copy !req
394. But I escaped, in this form.Copy !req
395. And fled across the stars.Copy !req
396. And now, you're trapped
in the television.Copy !req
397. Not for much longer.Copy !req
398. Doctor! Is this what got my Gran?
Yes, Tommy.Copy !req
399. It feeds off the electrical
activity of the brain.Copy !req
400. But it gorges itself like
a great, over-fed pig.Copy !req
401. Taking people's faces,
their essence, as it stuffs itself.
And you let her do it, Magpie.Copy !req
402. I had to. She allowed me my face.
She promised to release me
at the Time of Manifestation.Copy !req
403. What does that mean?
The appointed time.Copy !req
404. My crowning glory!Copy !req
405. Doctor! The Coronation.Copy !req
406. For the first time in
history, millions gathered
around a television set.Copy !req
407. But you're not strong enough yet,
are you?Copy !req
408. You can't do it all from here.Copy !req
409. That's why you need this!
It needs something more powerful.Copy !req
410. This'll turn a big transmitter
into a big receiver.Copy !req
411. What a clever thing you are.Copy !req
412. But why fret about it?Copy !req
413. Why not just relax? Kick off your
shoes and enjoy the Coronation.Copy !req
414. Believe me!
You'll be glued to the screen!Copy !req
415. Doctor! Oh, my . . .
Hungry! Hungry!Copy !req
416. The Wire is hungry!
Oh! This one is tasty!Copy !req
417. Oh!
I'll have lashings of him.Copy !req
418. Delicious!Copy !req
419. Armed!Copy !req
420. He's armed and clever.Copy !req
421. Withdraw! Withdraw!Copy !req
422. The box, Magpie, the box!Copy !req
423. Hold tight!Copy !req
424. Conduct me to my victory, Magpie!Copy !req
425. Hungry! Hungry!Copy !req
426. Feed me!Copy !req
427. Ooh, she's so lovely! Beautiful.Copy !req
428. Makes you forget all your troubles!Copy !req
429. Everyone all right for pop?Copy !req
430. Tommy! Wake up! Tommy, come on!
What happened?Copy !req
431. Where's Magpie?Copy !req
432. We don't even know where to
start looking! It's too late.Copy !req
433. It's never too late!
As a wise person once said.Copy !req
434. Kylie, I think. The Wire's got
big plans. It'll need . . .Copy !req
435. It's gonna harvest
half the population!Copy !req
436. Millions and millions of people.
And where are we? Muswell Hill.Copy !req
437. Muswell Hill! Muswell Hill!
Which means . . . Alexandra Palace!Copy !req
438. Biggest TV transmitter
in North London!Copy !req
439. That's why it chose this place!
What're you gonna do?Copy !req
440. I'm going shopping.Copy !req
441. This what you want?Copy !req
442. Perfect!
Right, I need one more thing.Copy !req
443. Got it! Let's go!Copy !req
444. I can't do this!Copy !req
445. Please! Please don't make me . . .Copy !req
446. The time is at hand!Copy !req
447. Feed me!Copy !req
448. Feed me!Copy !req
449. There! Come on!Copy !req
450. Wait! Where'd we think we're . . . ?
Oh! I'm very sorry, sir!Copy !req
451. Shouldn't you be at the Coronation?
They're saving me a seat!Copy !req
452. Who'd he think you were?
King of Belgium, apparently.Copy !req
453. Keep this switched on. Don't let
anyone stop you, Tommy! Everything
depends on it, you understand?Copy !req
454. You'll get yourself killed up there!
Your Majesty!Copy !req
455. FEED ME!Copy !req
456. Oh, feast!Copy !req
457. Feasting!Copy !req
458. The Wire is feasting!Copy !req
459. It's too late.Copy !req
460. Too late for all of us.Copy !req
461. I shall consume you, Doctor!Copy !req
462. I won't let you do this, Magpie.
Help me, Doctor!Copy !req
463. It burns!Copy !req
464. It took my face. My soul!Copy !req
465. You cannot stop The Wire.Copy !req
466. Soon I shall become manifest.Copy !req
467. No more. No more of this.Copy !req
468. You promised me peace!Copy !req
469. Then peace you shall have.Copy !req
470. Aaargh!Copy !req
471. Been burning the candle
at both ends?Copy !req
472. You've over-extended
yourself, missus.Copy !req
473. You shouldn't have had a crack
at poor old Magpie there.Copy !req
474. Rubber soles. Swear by 'em!Copy !req
475. Oh, dear. Has our little plan gone
horribly wrong, Doctor?Copy !req
476. No-o-o-o!Copy !req
477. No!Copy !req
478. It's close down, I'm afraid,
and no epilogue.Copy !req
479. What have I missed?
Doctor! What happened?Copy !req
480. Sorted.
Electrical creature. TV technology.Copy !req
481. Clever alien life-form -
that's me, by the way.Copy !req
482. I turned the receiver
back into a transmitter, then
I trapped The Wire in here.Copy !req
483. I just invented
the home video 30 years early.Copy !req
484. Betamax!Copy !req
485. Oh, look!Copy !req
486. God Save The Queen, eh?Copy !req
487. There's my grandson!Copy !req
488. This was never your house -
it's in my mother's name.Copy !req
489. And on her behalf,
I'm telling you . . .Copy !req
490. Out!Copy !req
491. We could go down the Mall.
Join in with the crowds.Copy !req
492. Nah, that's just
pomp and circumstance.Copy !req
493. This is history, right here.
The domestic approach. Exactly.Copy !req
494. Will it . . . ? That thing . . .
Is it trapped for good?Copy !req
495. On video? Hope so.
Just to be on the safe sideCopy !req
496. I'll use my knowledge
of trans-temporal
extirpation methodsCopy !req
497. to neutralise the residual
electronic pattern. You what?Copy !req
498. I'm gonna tape over over it.
Leave it with me,
I'm always doing that!Copy !req
499. Tommy, you can have the scooter.
Little present.Copy !req
500. Best, em, keep it in the garage
for a few years, though.Copy !req
501. Good riddance.Copy !req
502. Is that it, then, Tommy?
New monarch, new age, new world.Copy !req
503. No room for a man
like Eddie Connolly?Copy !req
504. That's right. He deserves it.Copy !req
505. Tommy. Go after him.Copy !req
506. What for?Copy !req
507. He's your dad. He's an idiot.Copy !req
508. Course he is.
Like I said, he's your Dad.Copy !req
509. But you're clever.Copy !req
510. Clever enough to save the world.
So don't stop there. Go on.Copy !req
511. We're beyond the reach
of the Tardis's knowledge!Copy !req
512. This writing is old!
Impossibly old!Copy !req
513. People! Look at that - real people.
That's us! Hooray!Copy !req
514. The beast and his armies
shall rise from the pit . . .Copy !req
515. Whatever it is, it's not
a natural phenomenon. We could
revolutionise modern science.Copy !req
516. We could use it to fuel the empire.
Or start a war.Copy !req
517. That's a black hole.
But that's impossible!Copy !req
