Dr. Who And The Daleks

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan to meet fans

There's a treat in store for some lucky Doctor Who fans next Monday (8 November). Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith and his companion Karen Gillan (aka Amy Pond) will be at HMV's flagship Oxford Street branch in London to sign copies of newly released DVD boxed set Doctor Who The Complete Series Five.

Matt and Karen will be appearing from 1pm but to book a place at the signing fans must be at the store at 9am to claim one of 300 free wristbands, to be distributed one per person on a first-come-first-served basis.

As well as every adventure from Matt Smith's inaugural Doctor Who season, the six-disc DVD boxed set features exclusive scenes from the Tardis filling in the gaps between each episode, plus Matt's video diary, backstage insights in Doctor Who Confidential, and the Monster Diaries.

Sarah jane adventures scripts the vault of secrets

Two brand new scripts from the current series of Doctor Who CBBC spin-off, The Sarah Jane Adventures - both written by Phil Ford has been added to the bbc sites script archive

Theirs also an introduction from Phil ford

For anybody who hasn't watched it, The Sarah Jane Adventures is the CBBC spin-off from Doctor Who - I'm guessing that you've probably seen that, and indeed the only reason you've never tuned in to SJA is because it's on before your home time - or you think it's just for kids.

Well here's a hint on how to write for kids - DON'T.

I've worked on every series of Sarah Jane (I've also done Doctor who and I've done Torchwood) and I've written scary stuff for all of them, emotional stuff, and stuff that's there to make you think.

Because that's the secret of writing for children - respect them; they're a smart bunch. And tell stories that entertain you, the adult. Stories that you would want to watch, something that would satisfy you, and feed your imagination. Don't give them candyfloss - it might look bright and colourful, and it might taste good, but an hour later you're either hungry again or nursing a stomach ache.

So I never write for this show thinking of it as a kids' show, just as a medium to tell a great, thrilling story.

Okay, let's be sensible; there are things that you wouldn't do in a show that goes out around teatime, but that's just common sense. That doesn't mean you can't tell your story in a grown-up way. It doesn't mean you can't be challenging in your themes or nature of your story.

Our show might deal with aliens - even some that fart and explode in messy goo - but we've also talked about serious subjects like dementia, marital break-ups, and (no pun intended) teenage alienation.

On the other hand, The Sarah Jane Adventures is also fun - it's a rollercoaster ride of thrills and fun and drama that's about family and the wonder of the universe, and the wonder of life itself. And The Vault of Secrets is very much a romp that doesn't take itself too seriously.

CONTINUOUS FROM PREVIOUS EPISODE.
MISTER DREAD aims his blaster at SARAH JANE, CLYDE, RANI,
OCEAN and MINTY.
SARAH JANE
Mister Dread - no!

Give me the activator discs.

CLYDE
Never!
OCEAN
He's an alien, too!
SARAH JANE
We only want to save Androvax's
species. Why won't you help us?
MISTER DREAD
The equilibrium must be maintained.
RANI
What does that mean?
MISTER DREAD
The Veil ship must not be taken
from the hyper-dimensional vault.
SARAH JANE
And if it is?
MISTER DREAD
The ship's star-drive engines will
disrupt the vault matrix. The
dimensional disturbance will tear
your planet apart.

SJA 4 Ep 3 Shooting Script 22/03/10 © BBC 2010 CONFIDENTIAL page 1
1 EXT. ASYLUM -- DAY 1
FX SHOT: DMP - Establishing shot. A big old house with
large overgrown grounds surrounded by high fencing. The
place looks empty and semi-derelict. There's a an old
faded sign - ST JUDE'S HOSPITAL. It's faded - over it has
been nailed another sign - PRIVATE PROPERTY, KEEP OUT!
But even this has been hanging there for decades.
There are a lot of Keep Out signs.
But they don't deter GILL, a teenage girl. With a glance
around her, she is slipping through a gap in the fence,
She's about 17, dressed in jeans and a biker's jacket. No
girly-girl. She can clearly handle herself. But she keeps
low as she runs towards the derelict hospital, as if she's
expecting someone to take a shot at her.
CUT TO:
2 INT. ASYLUM CORRIDOR. -- DAY 2
GILL is coming through a window. Still wary, exploring.
On edge.
This place doesn't look like anyone has set foot in it in
decades.
She continues to explore.
CUT TO:
3 INT. ASYLUM. VAULT CORRIDOR -- DAY 3
GILL moves cautiously down another corridor. From her
jacket pocket she takes something - a small ACTIVATOR DISC,
its covered in alien runes.
FX SHOT: It starts to glow, dimly.
She's found what she's looking for. She holds the device
out in front of her.
FX SHOT: The disc glows brighter
Suddenly a whole section of wall slides aside - revealing
a massive VAULT DOOR.
Gill smiles.
CUT TO:
4 INT. DREAD'S BASE -- DAY 4
A subterranean chamber somewhere in the asylum. Dark,
filled with alien technology - but it's dusty, covered in
cobwebs. No-one has set foot here in a very long time.
(CONTINUED)

4 CONTINUED: 4
At one side of the room - three man-sized metal caskets.
Cables and pipes running into them.
Suddenly a light begins to flash above each casket.
CUT TO:
5 INT. ASYLUM. VAULT CORRIDOR -- DAY 5
GILL closes on the vault door - it's massive, the kind of
thing they'd keep gold bullion in. She strokes the door -
almost reverential.
Gill then takes the disc and fits it into a recess clearly
made for it.
It begins to revolve. Lights begin to come on around the
door.
CUT TO:
6 INT. DREAD'S BASE -- DAY 6
With a burst of gas the locks on the three caskets release
and the lids open just a little.
CLOSE on one of them - as a man's hand extends from the
casket. A flash of white cuff and black jacket sleeve -
as the lid is pushed aside. Lots of gas.
Black shoes hit the floor. Three pairs - making their way
out of there.
CUT TO:
7 INT. ASYLUM. VAULT CORRIDOR -- DAY 7
On GILL's face - we can see that she's ready for a big
moment. Something she's been waiting for.
Anxious, she pulls on the door - won't open.
GILL
What?!
She tries again. Still nothing. She starts to lose it.
GILL (CONT'D)
Open! You've got to open!
And then she sees a second recess...
She looks at the alien disc in the door, realizing with
horror -
GILL (CONT'D)
Two access discs? *
And then a noise - she turns around -
(CONTINUED)
SJA 4 Ep 3 PINKS 29/03/10 © BBC 2010 CONFIDENTIAL page 3
7 CONTINUED: 7
Three men at the end of the corridor all dressed in black
suits, white shirts and black ties. All with dark glasses.
All tall, thin, with whitish skin. Two have dark hair,
their leader is ash blond.
MISTER DREAD and his MEN IN BLACK.
MISTER DREAD
Prepare to be incinerated.
And the three raise their left hands - and remove them.
Revealing laser blasters.
Gill grabs the disc and runs for it!
CUT TO:
TITLES
8 EXT. MARTIAN SURFACE -- DAY 8
It's a low-angle view of an alien landscape - the cameraview
of a robot probe moving across the Martian surface.
MISSION CONTROL (O.S.)
Oh boy, it's looking like a
beautiful morning on Mars today.
On-screen graphics roll down one side of the screen, showing
surface temperature and the probe's Martian latitude and
longitude, battery charge, and other info...
MISSION CONTROL (CONT'D)
Mars Probe systems operational.
CUT TO:
9 INT./EXT SARAH JANE'S ATTIC/MARTIAN SURFACE -- DAY 9
And we find SARAH JANE and CLYDE watching the Mars footage
on MISTER SMITH's screen. It's a split screen, one side
shows the footage from NASA's PoV with numbers and text
etc, the other side the clean footage direct from the probe
to Mister Smith.
MISSION CONTROL (O.S.)
Continuing on programmed route.
As RANI comes through the door, bursting with news -
RANI
Hi there! Guess what!
She sees Mars on Mister Smith's screen, but - *
LUKE *
Hey, Rani! How are you? *
And we find LUKE webcaming on Sarah Jane's computer screen - *
(CONTINUED)
SJA 4 Ep 3 PINKS 29/03/10 © BBC 2010 CONFIDENTIAL page 3A*
9 CONTINUED: 9
RANI *
Luke! Great thanks. *
And Mars is almost forgotten - *
RANI (CONT'D)
How's Oxford?
LUKE *
It's so brilliant! *
Meanwhile - Sarah Jane and Clyde watching the Mars footage. *
SARAH JANE *
Can you two keep it down? We need *
to time this to the second. *
RANI *
Sorry. Is that Mars? *
Clyde is loving it. *
CLYDE *
It's a feed from the latest Mars *
robot probe. Sarah Jane is about *
to upset NASA big time. *
MISTER SMITH *
Probe will be in sight of the target *
in twenty seconds. *
LUKE *
So how's everybody at school? *
RANI *
Oh, you know. Clyde's still winding *
my dad up. Those flatmates working *
out okay? *
CLYDE *
He says they just live off curry *
and baked beans. Must be like *
living with the Slitheen! *
Clyde, Rani and Luke laugh. Sarah Jane remains intent on *
Mister Smith's screen. *

SARAH JANE *
Get ready, Mister Smith.
MISTER SMITH
Approaching point of visibility.
FX SHOT: And on screen, on the horizon - the tip of what
looks like a pyramid -
MISTER SMITH (CONT'D)
Jamming signal now!
And suddenly the NASA half of the screen breaks up with
static.
MISSION CONTROL (O.S.)
Where did the signal go? We've
lost contact with the probe.
Sarah Jane smiles.
FX SHOT: They see the pyramid on their half of the screen.
SARAH JANE
Well done, Mister Smith.
And then the other half of the screen blanks out too.
LUKE
Looks like NASA just lost yet
another Mars probe.

dr who tenth doctor quotes doomsday

Dalek Thay: Identify yourselves.
Cyberman: You will identify first.
Dalek Thay: State your identity!
Cyberman: You will identify first.
Dalek Thay: Identify!
Mickey: It's like Stephen Hawking meets the speaking clock.
Cyberman: Our species are similar, though your design is inelegant.
Dalek Thay: Daleks have no concept of elegance!
Cyberman: This is obvious. But consider, our technologies are compatible. Cybermen plus Daleks; together, we could upgrade the universe.
Dalek Thay: You propose an alliance?
Cyberman: This is correct.
Dalek Thay: Request denied!
Cyberman: Hostile elements will be deleted.
Dalek Thay: Exterminate!
Cyber Leader:Open visual link!
Cyber Leader: Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen.
Dalek Sec: This is not war. This is pest control!
Cyber Leader: We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?
Dalek Sec: Four.
Cyber Leader: You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?
Dalek Sec: We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek! You are superior in only one respect.
Cyber Leader: What is that?
Dalek Sec: You are better at dying.
Dalek Jast:This male registers as enemy.
Dalek Sec: The female's heartbeat has increased!
Mickey: Yeah, tell me about it.
Dalek Sec:Identify him!
Rose:All right then. You really want to know? That's the Doctor. Five million Cybermen: Easy. One Doctor?Now you're scared.
Dalek Sec: The Doctor will open the Ark!
The Doctor: Ha ha, the Doctor will not.
Dalek Sec: You have no way of resisting!
The Doctor: Mm, you got me there.Although, there is always this.
Dalek Sec: A sonic probe?
The Doctor: That's screwdriver.
Dalek Sec: It is harmless.
The Doctor: Ohh, yes. Harmless is just the word: that's why I like it! Doesn't kill, doesn't wound, doesn't maim. But I'll tell you what it does do: It is very good at opening doors. 
Rose: Where are you?
The Doctor: Inside the TARDIS. There's one tiny little gap in the universe left, just about to close. And it takes a lot of power to send this projection— I'm in orbit around a supernova. I'm burning up a sun just to say goodbye.
Rose: You look like a ghost.
The Doctor: Hold on— 
Rose: Can I t— 
The Doctor: I'm still just an image, no touch.
Rose: Can't you come through properly?
The Doctor: The whole thing would fracture. The two universes would collapse.
Rose: So? 
The Doctor: Where are we? Where did the gap come out?
Rose: We're in Norway.
The Doctor: Norway, right.
Rose: About fifty miles out of Bergen. It's called "Dålig Ulv Stranden".
The Doctor: "Dalek"?
Rose: "Dålig". It's Norwegian for bad. This translates as "Bad Wolf Bay". How long have we got?
The Doctor: About two minutes.
Rose: I can't think of what to say.
The Doctor: You still got Mr. Mickey, then?
Rose: Oh there's five of us now. Mum, Dad, Mickey... and the baby.
The Doctor: You're not—?
Rose: No. It's Mum. She's three months gone. More Tylers on the way.
The Doctor: And what about you? Are you—?
Rose: Yeah, I'm... I'm back working in the shop.
The Doctor: Oh, good for you.
Rose: Shut up. No, I'm not. Torchwood on this earth's open for business. Think I know a thing or two about aliens.
The Doctor:Rose Tyler, defender of the Earth... You're dead—officially—back home. So many people died that day and you've gone missing. You're on the list of the dead.Here you are, living your life day after day. The one adventure I can never have.
Rose: Am I ever going to see you again?
The Doctor: You can't.
Rose: What are you going to do?
The Doctor: Back to the TARDIS. Same old life.
Rose: On your own?
The Doctor: Yes.
Rose: I— ...I love you.
The Doctor: Quite right too.And I suppose, if it's my last chance to say it: Rose Tyler...
The Doctor: What?
Donna Noble: Wha—
The Doctor: What?
Donna Noble: Who're you?
The Doctor: What?
Donna Noble: Where am I?
The Doctor: What?
Donna Noble: What the hell is this place?!
The Doctor: What?!

Time-traveller picks up top TV accolade

Scottish Dr Who sidekick Karen Gillan has been named Ultimate UK TV Actress at the Cosmopolitan Woman of the Year Awards.

The 22-year-old from Inverness collected the trophy at the event at the Banqueting House in London for her role as the Doctor’s assistant, Amy Pond.

The redhead debuted in the part opposite Matt Smith earlier this year, after he replaced David Tennant in the title role.

Other winners at the star-studded event included Christine Bleakley, who was crowned top TV host despite Daybreak’s poor ratings.

The 31-year-old’s win came in spite of figures released last week showing just 530,000 viewers are tuning in to watch Bleakley on ITV’s troubled breakfast show – a third of the audience for BBC Breakfast.

Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts, who launched her own make-up range for pale skin this year, was crowned Ultimate Fashionista.

Katie Piper, whose bravery after an acid attack led to her offering other burns victims a lifeline through The Katie Piper Foundation, won the Ultimate Editor’s Choice award.

Dizzee Rascal was presented with the Ultimate Man of the Year award.
