Most exciting. Hm.
Goodness, Ian will be here in a moment.
I must go and get ready.
Oh? Who's that?
Grandfather!
I told you about him dozens of times.
- Her new boyfriend.
- Ooh!
Yes, I look forward to meeting him.
What's his name?
Ian.
Goodness, that'll be him now!
Susie, be a dear
and answer the door, will you?
All right.
- Glad you dropped in.
- OK, so you caught me again.
Grandfather, this is Ian Chesterton.
- I am so very glad to meet you at last.
- Oh, hi.
- Oh, excuse me.
- How extremely kind of you.
Most thoughtful. Thank you.
They're for Barbara.
They're soft centres. Her favourite kind.
Oh, yes, of course, yes.
Well, she was here a moment ago.
Well, er, never mind. Why don't you
sit down while you're waiting for her?
Oh...
Soft centres.
Well, never mind.
Plenty more where that came from.
- No! Wait!
- What is it?
A super-ionised
electro-kinetic pre-oscillator.
And you nearly sat on it.
Years of research work.
Part of my new invention.
Would you like to see it?
Come on. Come on, I'll show you.
He wouldn't understand.
Anyone can understand science if they
only put their minds to it. You can.
Well, that's different.
- Oh, well, let's give Harold a chance.
- Ian.
- I beg your pardon?
- Yes, my name's Ian, Dr Who.
Oh! How do you do?
Yes, yes, well, come along, then.
Come along.
Thank you, Susie.
Off we go.
After you, erm... Yes, right.
There. My latest invention.
- What, a police box?
- Of course not!
- This is TARDIS.
- TARDIS?
It stands for Time And Relative
Dimension In Space.
- Oh.
- Go inside. Go on.
- Yeah?
- Mm.
But it's so big in here and yet
it's so small from outside. How come?
In electro-kinetic theory, space expands
to accommodate the time necessary
- to encompass its dimensions.
We've been working on TARDIS
for many years.
This is the final component.
You are privileged, young man,
to be the first visitor
to our time and space machine.
There. I can now set the controls
for anywhere in time and space
that we wish to go.
When I push that lever,
this room and everything in it
will dissolve into their respective
component electrical charges.
We're all made up of them.
These charges
will then be transferred in time and space
and reassembled in their proper order
Er, well, I think I ought to be, er...
Oh, I thought you'd all be in here.
- Hello, darling.
- Hello.
Young man,
do you know what you have just done?
You have transferred us in time and space
and I haven't even set the controls.
Now I don't know where we are.
We could be anywhere in the universe
and at any time!
Rather exciting, isn't it?
Look, I don't know how you do the magic
with the inside of this room,
but as far as being somewhere else
in the universe...
Let's see where we are.
- Grandfather, where are we?
- Susan, dear, don't go too far yet.
There must have been a forest fire.
The heat must have been indescribable.
It's turned the earth into ashes.
Oh, well, the soil can't be that bad.
It still grows these shrubs and trees.
Look at that.
Ooh!
A petrified jungle!
How interesting.
This is most interesting.
Well, if it's all the same to you, sir,
perhaps we could be making
our way home now, huh?
What, and miss the chance of learning
something about an unknown planet?
Coward.
I for one am going to investigate.
Come on, Grandfather.
- Come on, Grandfather!
- I'm coming, darling.
- Fascinating.
- Grandfather, look at this!
And what is it then?
By jingo!
That looks like a... looks like a tulip.
It's a lilium philadelphicum.
Is it now?
It's a lilium philadelphicum, is it? Hm.
Ian!
Oh! Oh!
Oh, Ian! Are you all right?
- Nothing broken, lad?
- No.
It was another soft centre.
Well, come and sit over...
Look, over here.
There we are.
We shall never know what that was,
will we, Susie?
Grandfather, look!
- What have you found this time?
- Look!
Upon my soul! A city!
But how extraordinary!
A huge city!
Can you see any people?
No. No one at all.
No life, no movement.
Here.
- Can you see anyone?
- No.
- Let's investigate.
- Oh, yes, let's!
Something terrible happened here.
This place is dangerous.
I can feel it.
- I wish we could leave.
- Well, you don't have to convince me.
Er, Dr Who.
I think we should get out of this place.
But look, Susan's just found a city.
Wouldn't you like to explore it first?
Erm, well, they're expecting me at home.
They'll be wondering where I am.
I... I think we should go back.
Aww.
Oh, well.
Hey, hey, hey! It's me, it's me, it's me!
Are you sure, Susan, dear?
It's not possible for any human form
to exist on this planet.
It was a hand! It touched me!
Hm. Then I'd like to find out
who or what it was.
Rather you than me.
We don't know where we are,
what period in time.
We don't know what might be out there.
The scanner.
Nobody. Not a thing.
Well, something
must have made that noise
and I don't want to find out what it is.
- Can't you set the controls for home?
- Certainly.
- All set.
- Well, you got us here.
You might as well get us back.
What's the matter?
There's something wrong somewhere.
I'll try the fault locator.
K7. The fluid link section.
That's it. The fluid link.
This end has been
jarred out of position.
Some of the fluid has run out.
- Have you got a spare?
- Oh, we don't need one.
This just needs refilling with mercury.
I have some in my labora... tory.
Supposing there isn't any mercury
on this planet.
We'll have to try the city. It's about
the only place we're likely to find any.
Be careful!
- Susan!
- Susan!
Right. Thank you, Susie.
It looks like some sort of drug.
I wonder what it is.
I shall make some tests on these
when we get home. Yes.
Now, perhaps you'll put those inside
for me, will you, Susan, dear?
And now...
for the city.
That was a steep climb, wasn't it, Susie?
- What's the matter?
- It's all right, dear.
Grandfather, are you all right?
Just a little tired.
My legs are rather weak.
I don't feel too well myself.
Must be the altitude.
Take a good, deep breath, lad.
That's better. Yes.
Now, in a city like this,
there must be laboratories.
Now, that's where we could find
some mercury.
Now, I suggest we all take different
directions and then all meet back here.
How's that? Yes? Right.
Now, you come along with me, Susie.
You take that one.
Having trouble, lad?
I can't get through those doors!
Let's try the other way.
Susan, dear, you sit on there
while we try to keep those doors open.
When I shout, you run just as fast
as you can. Good girl.
Ready? Now, Susan! Run! Fast!
Not too fast, lad. Not too fast.
Come on, lad.
- Wait.
- What is it?
Listen.
It's coming from over there.
Well!
Susan! Susan, dear.
Measuring instruments.
But to measure what, I wonder?
This is some sort of Geiger counter.
And it is past the danger point.
