Doctor Who

We sent message to the village.

We thought no one was coming.

But you're not the midwife.

My name is Frau Rani.

-Am I too late? -

No. Just in time.

We thought we needed help.

Violett was in an awful lot of pain, but then a miracle. We were so lucky.

But you were born lucky, isn't that what they say?

Herr Zufall, the seventh son of a seventh son.

With seven sons of your own.

One, two, three, four, five, six…

And lucky number seven.

We thought Jonas would be a wonderful name.

I think it's absolutely terrible.

Let me see.

That's it.

Hello.

I think he needs a stronger name like Sturm-und-Drang, ja ?

I'm sorry, but I don't think his name is up to you.

I'm afraid it is because I will be taking little baby.

Danke schön.

You've done a very good job, but now he's all mine.

Excuse me, I don't think so.

Give me my child back right now.

Violett, isn't it?

Such a pretty name.

Your wife is violets.

Mama! No, Mama! No!

Witchcraft.

Hmm. It's older than that, darling.

Your child is the fountainhead of a power from beyond this universe.

Boys, get out.

All of you, children, get out now!

-Run! - That's right.

Waddle away!

And you.

The seventh son of a seventh son.

Hmm?

Such great wisdom.

Like a wise old owl.

Hoot, hoot.

- -

Quack, quack.

Bye-bye.

Now then, mein Liebchen , let's get to work.

We have things to do in 160 years' time with one very special wish.

-Mmm. -Morning, darling.

-Morning, sweetheart. -

Oh, this is nice.

You and me.

- -I could stay here forever.

Don't go to work.

Stay, stay, stay.

Oh, I wish.

But I've got to earn a living so that we can have a lovely life together.

- - Meow.

- Hello. - Hi. Meow.

-Meow. -Meow.

-Did you see a cat? -Meow.

-Uh-huh. -Is that you wanting a cat?

-Yeah. - Yeah.

- Oh. - Meow.

- Meow. - Meow.

…and the weather's going to be nice

all across England and the whole of Great Britain.

It's nice in France and Africa,

and Venezuela and Missouri and New Zealand.

That's my promise.

Really nice weather all over the world.

Happy morning, everyone.

Happy morning, Conrad.

Now, it's time for today's story.

Doctor Who and the Deadly Wish .

Once upon a time…

The Time Lords were really clever people from the planet Gallifrey,

but one of the Time Lords ran away.

What's Uncle Connie saying, Poppy?

I've got so much to do.

There's the laundry and shopping

and amma's coming round 'cause we've got to make plans.

Do you know why, Poppy?

- Hmm. -Oh, come here, jam face.

- -Oh!

Do you know what day tomorrow is, Poppy?

It's May Day.

It's May the 24th.

May the 24th, the big day.

-Mm-hmm. -

We're gonna celebrate with balloons and songs.

Mummy will cook a big pot of biryani.

-Is that nice? -No.

- Hmm. -

-I've got it. I've got it. -Oh.

-You head off, darling. -Okay.

Maybe you shouldn't doubt things so much, Poppy, huh?

-You need to be careful, okay? -Okay.

Okay.

- -Thank you, darling.

Hi.

Hello.

Yeah, um…

Sorry about this.

-Do I know you? -I don't think so.

-Who are you? -I've got to ask…

Are you the Doctor?

-Do you need a doctor? Is everything okay? -No, no, um…

Are you called the Doctor?

My name is John Smith.

Okay.

Okay, but it's not. I don't know why, it's just not.

-What's going on? - Uh, it's…

It's nothing, darling. It's, um, it's just someone.

Listen, is this some sort of a game because I don't really appreciate it

-on my doorstep. -And you're John Smith's wife.

I certainly am.

Who are you?

-That's your daughter. -Of course it is.

-That's Poppy. -But she's not…

I-I-I'm sorry, but you don't have a daughter.

Oh, my God.

I beg your pardon.

-That is the most outrageous thing to say. -Yeah.

-Why don't you watch Uncle Conrad? -No, please. I'm so sorry.

My name's Ruby, I swear.

I'm just trying to help.

No, please. I didn't mean to just…

Did you… Did you say…

Ruby?

Yes, hello.

I have someone expressing doubt.

The address is 11 Calico Avenue.

I'd be grateful if you could come at once.

- -

-But… - Uh, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't speak to her, Melanie.

You're called Mel?

I'm sorry, do I know you?

N-No.

What was all that about, Mr Smith?

Oh, never mind.

Best forgotten, hey?

One more day till May the 24th.

- -Any plans?

Oh, you know, I'm single, no parents, no children.

So I will sit in silent contemplation and be jolly glad.

- -

Aren't they beautiful?

I ask you, how can anyone doubt this glorious world that we live in?

The people who lived on the Earth were called humans.

Doctor Who had lots and lots of human friends.

They loved him and travelled with him.

But sometimes they'd leave him so they could go and fall in love,

and marry and have babies.

And then the Doctor was all alone,

but he travelled on with bravery in his heart,

- looking for his next best friend. -Anything, mate? Anything?

Happy morning.

Happy morning.

Cutting it fine.

Another two minutes and you'd have been late.

I did work late last night.

Time carries no favours.

-Happy morning. -Happy morning.

Now, milk, no sugar, Mr Smith.

I've got digestives, Bourbons and nice vanilla wafers.

Just give us a shout if you need anything.

I don't think anyone will be shouting, thank you very much.

It might be a public holiday on May the 24th, but that's tomorrow.

But then a sad day came along…

All the Time Lords were killed, and Doctor Who was the only one left.

Psst.

He ran back home, but he was too late…

I've heard she likes Chinese food.

Deborah in accounts said Kate swears by it. Loves it.

But what am I going to say?

"Can we go out to dinner? Just you and me."

If you two got together, she wouldn't have to work.

It's undignified. You'd be saving her.

But she's way out of my league.

Oh, she's not. You're a beautiful man.

-What's that supposed to mean? -Uh…

No. No.

-No, no, no. I'm just saying… -You're a man.

How can you find another man beautiful?

Oh! Sorry, that was, uh… that was the slip.

Yeah, sorry. Sorry. That was the slip.

-I've got it. Don't worry. -Okay.

"Many a slip, 'twixt cup and lip", as they say.

9:00 a.m. We have begun.

Get to work.
