A Goodだ
Here is the next clue.
Pass the key to fit the door that leads out on the dancing floor.
Then escape the rhythmic beat or you'll forever tap your feet.
But... he's gone!
Oh!
I congratulate you, Doctor, on your choice of friends.
A very astute couple.
Neither of my teams have been able to beat them yet.
But I think they have earned a little amusement.
Now...
What have we here to amuse them?
Ah!
Sergeant Ruggs and Mrs. Wiggs.
These, then, are who Stephen will find behind the door.
It's useless.
There's no sign of a door handle, latch or lock.
We're stuck here.
Stephen, the servants, they're following us!
Huh?
The servants without voice, they come!
They scare me.
They're only dolls.
They call them.
I have to make them go back to their cupboard.
Dolls, go back!
Go back to your cupboard!
I'll stop them.
Stephen, be careful. You don't know what they might do.
After all, we helped destroy the other four dolls.
Perhaps we can etch past them.
We can't get past them now!
At least they've stopped.
I'm going to try. You follow me.
No!
Huh?
Be careful, Veda.
There might be a trap.
A trap!
In here, in Mrs. Wiggs's kitchen?
There, you want to watch your language, young fellow, me lad.
Here. What do you want in my kitchen?
I'm... I'm...
What do you want in my kitchen?
We're looking for the next game.
Perhaps you could help us.
The clue goes, hunt the key to fit the door that leads out on the dancing floor.
Then escape the rhythmic beat, or you'll forever tap your feet.
The only dancing floor which I know of is through there.
Thank you.
All right, young fellow, me lad.
No loitering. Pick your feet up then.
I have to.
Why don't you go back in your box?
Woodpecker?
Why, you young, witless, napper. I'll...
You what?
Well, I'll...
You need a good eye to me, lad.
Who's going to give it to him?
A nine-fifty cup to my nice, clean kitchen, Sergeant, if you please.
Oh, it's a good thing you spoke just then, cook.
Now tell him what I mightn't have done to him if you hadn't stopped me.
You're a terrible man when you're around, Sergeant.
Well, army training, cook.
Six years with the Iron Duke.
We've got to get him there. That's what the clue said.
The target must be on the dance floor.
How the toymaker expects us to play his crazy games when he locks all the doors.
I'd...
Oh, I'd like to have him in my mob.
Just give me a month, I'll make a man of him.
What was that?
Er, er...
Well, er, not that he needs making a man of, but er, sharpening up a bit like.
Look, I warn you.
Honestly, Stephen, if they're not real, how can you lose your temper with them?
You can't have it both ways, you know.
All right. I'll ignore them. They're just sent here to get my goat.
But where do we go from here? We're stuck.
Heh, heh, heh.
The Iron Duke wouldn't have been stuck over a little thing like that.
All right. I'm ignoring him.
What would the Iron Duke have done?
Well, he'd have had another look at the riddle, I expect.
The riddle?
Then escape the rhythmic beat or you'll forever tap your feet.
No, not that bit, Dax. The first bit.
Hunt the key to fit the door. Stephen, that's it!
Then the game is hunt the thimble.
Only it's a key. And a rather large one at that.
The only problem is, where do we start looking?
You've stopped playing, Doctor. You know that isn't allowed.
Now... go from move 770.
Now, play on.
You're still not playing fast enough.
Go from move 813.
Your friends have reached their third game.
Hunt the key.
Stephen, haven't we seen him before?
I don't know.
Wasn't he the Jack of Hearts?
Possibly. But does it matter?
I mean, all the Toymakers' creations look alike to me.
We have to find the TARDIS before the Doctor reaches move 1023.
So we haven't got long to find that key.
Doctor?
Well, what do you expect? You come away from me, Pops and Pans!
Look, we've got to find the key to that door.
Well, he won't find it there.
How do you know?
Because Mrs. Wiggs always knows what's best. That's why.
That's why.
You'll help us find the key, won't you?
Well, I don't know.
You look so marvellous in that uniform. You must be very brave.
Well, I try to do my duty, girl.
Then you'll help us. For my sake.
Well, all right. But for your mind, not for him.
Where do you suggest we start looking?
Well, let's see now.
What about this old dresser here, eh?
Here!
You watch what you're doing with my dresser!
What do you think this is? A bloody fairground?
Here! You put those things back in the drawer!
It's all right, Mrs. Wiggs. I'm just helping the young lady.
Here, um, what's your name, Miguel?
Dodo.
Dodo. Oh, what a lovely name, Dodo.
Oh, I like that.
Well, you go and larch it somewhere else.
And take your friend with you.
I'll take my friend.
Oh, come, Mrs. Wiggs. The girl's been and gone and lost her key.
Well, she won't find it here.
Take no notice of them, Dodo.
They've been sent here by the toy maker to pull us off.
It's a sign we're getting more.
Derek! That's me foot!
You come out and under there!
It isn't under the table.
When you've quacked with it.
Dodo, take a look behind that thing.
I'll take a look over here.
Now, wait a minute, girl. You don't want to get up there.
You'll fall and break your leg.
Here, let me look for you.
That's very kind of you.
Oh, not at all, ma'am. Happy to be of service.
Sergeant Rath! What do you think you're doing up there?
Now, don't you worry, Mrs. Wiggs. I'll be all right.
I'm not worried about you. It's my best china.
Oh! Oh!
Is that plate...
A little accident, Mrs. Wiggs.
Accident? That was no accident.
You dropped that plate deliberately, Clark.
I hope you're not calling me a liar, Mrs. Wiggs.
Oh! Another accident, I suppose.
Oh, perhaps you'd better come back.
Oh, perhaps you'd better come down, Sergeant.
Now, don't you worry, Mrs. Wiggs. It's perfectly all right.
Look!
Oh!
Sergeant Rath!
You come down here this instant.
Soldiers don't take orders from civilians, cook.
Now, you just pipe down.
Pipe down?
You great oaf!
You couldn't bite a pussy cat!
You didn't ought to have said that, cook.
Oh! Oh!
Oh, Sergeant Rath!
You wanker! You're going to be sorry for that!
You think I'm going to stand for you, silly monocron of a...
You're very much to be faithful!
Take that!
Jesus!
You liar!
This is all being done to prevent us from the key.
They don't really exist, remember? It's not real.
What did he say?
Are you sure about that?
We've got to find that key.
And it's supposing there is one. We've looked everywhere.
Get round with the weakling!
Oh, but I'm afraid it's all my fault.
Nonsense! This is another distraction laid on by the toy makers to stop us finding the key.
Oh, well, you said it was just a distraction, remember?
Some games are rougher as they go along. But we've looked everywhere. Do you suppose there really is a key?
Oh! You!
Now, will you just... Don't you talk to me like that!
Take that! And that!
And that!
Oh, look! You've thrown just about all the fun, Sir Arthur Thrope. Couldn't you both call a truce?
A truce?
Arthur really broke a wee bit, Joanna.
Well, I'm sure he'll apologise.
Apologise? Oh!
Oh! Well, you did break her plates, you know.
Soldiers never apologise. It's a rule.
But a gentleman would always apologise to a lady.
Soldiers! Are gentlemen!
Sergeant Roggis, I'm sure of that.
I apologise.
There. Now, will you accept his apology?
I won't, I did.
But he'll have to pay for my china.
Pay for the china?
Now then, you see why soldiers never apologise?
Give the old trout an inch.
Oh! Trout an inch! Just you wait for that, Sergeant Robb! Old trout!
Oh! Oh!
Now then, careful with that, Mrs. Meeks. Careful!
Oh!
Pay for this!
Be careful with that!
You wait!
I'll show you!
Where do you think you're going?
Nowhere.
Come on, I think you know where that key is, don't you?
Oh, so we're going somewhere large, are we?
Oh!
Oh, do you not?
Hey, you, come back!
I'm sure you'll hurt him with that broom!
Well, if she does, then this pie'll get hurt as well.
What?
Not that pie!
Not that pie! Put it down!
Well, then you put that broom down, Mrs. Meeks.
What's she so worried about this pie for? Look at the rest of the mess!
Even that one place we haven't looked!
Where?
In the pie!
Let's see what you've got!
Me? No, no, no! Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me!
Hey, I've got it!
Come on, soldier, be quick!
Goodbye!
Sorry about your kitchen!
Richard Pell!
I give you a chance of life and this is what you do with it!
Look at the kitchen!
My fault, sir, not hers.
Such gallantry from a mere doll!
Now listen to me, the pair of you.
Clean yourselves up and get out onto that dance floor.
At the far end you will find a TARDIS.
Stephen and Dodo must be prevented from getting to it at all costs.
Do you understand?
If you fail me...
I will break you in pieces...
I will break you in pieces... like this!
The TARDIS!
Stephen, be careful! This could be as dangerous as those chairs!
But there's no other way of getting to it!
It can't be as simple as that, can it?
There must be a catch somewhere.
Then escape the rhythmic beat or you'll forever tap your feet.
What does it mean?
How strange!
I can do it too!
It's the doctor's game on way for us, though.
We've got to take the chart!
Hello! Ah, you've made it up!
Well, Mrs. Wiggs has got much too warm an heart to keep a quarrel going, miss.
Oh, Sarge is going to take me to the ball!
The ball? Yeah, right here, girl. No lack of partners, as you can see.
Oh, they never get tired of dancing, them dolls.
Look, it seems all right. I'm going to make a dash for it.
Stephen, this is no time for a dance!
I can't help myself!
Stephen, this is not the rhythm, miss!
You're doing very well, doctor.
Let's hope you haven't made a mistake.
Still, we'll find that out when you reach your thousand and twenty-third move.
I see that Stephen has taken time off from the quest to go dancing.
Well, keep on playing, doctor.
Get away, Bonnie! You muster it! I warned you it would be forever!
Come on! They're holding me in a grip like steel!
Get away from the floor, Bonnie, and go back!
But then we can't reach the target!
I'll try to dance nearer to it!
Not a bad dancer for a civilian.
Make a lovely partner for you, Doc!
Come, you darned burnt-with-steven!
I can't leave! Let me dance with you!
I'll dance with you, Bonnie!
I can't leave! I'm getting carried round and round!
Then I'm going to try and reach it!
What are you doing? Go back!
I can't!
They're both dancing. What was it the toy-maker wanted us to do?
Reach that big cupboard up there before them.
Ah, well, what about that doll there, then?
That's the game, Doc. You dance with her while I run for the cupboard up there.
Oh, begging your pardon, Mrs. W., this is man's work.
You dance and I'll run.
Well, to be quite frank with you, Mrs. W., soldiers don't dance.
Well, officers, rats, but sergeants, no.
Yes, why don't you try the floor?
Don't come too close to me!
Why?
Don't ask questions!
Well, yes, sergeant, I can't keep it up alone.
Just come my way, Mrs. W.
Dodo, come here!
Help!
I'm surprised that you sound the same as ever, darling. Get to the cupboard!
I can't! Keep going, Dodo! We must get nearer the sergeant!
Advance and find the cupboard somehow!
We'll be ready for them. We're almost there!
Concentrate now!
Here we are!
There's another fake.
Wonder how many of these things he made.
Far too many.
I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever see the real one again.
We might be shut in here forever.
Of course you'll find it.
Come on, don't lose heart now. We've been through too much.
How on earth do we get out of this thing?
I wonder if we'll ever see the sergeant and the cook again.
They were rather funny, you know.
Look, you still believe in these creations of the toy maker, don't you?
You can't see that they're just phantoms.
Things created in his mind.
If that's so, why do they lose to us and always do doing something silly and human?
I don't know. Maybe they get out of his control.
There! That's just what I meant!
What are you talking about?
Look, he can bring them to life, but they have wills and minds of their own.
I'll never be able to look at a doll or a playing card again with an easy mind.
They really do have a secret life of their own.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! We've got to get you out of here and quick!
Why? What do you mean?
This place is beginning to get you.
Oh, rubbish! Just because you can't see it...
We've got to find the next clue.
There isn't even a telephone here. It must be in here somewhere.
Still, I can't help wondering what happened to them.
You forget that I can see you, even if no one else can.
But you laugh too soon.
The game is not yet over.
Either for you or for your two clever friends.
They still have a game or two to play yet.
But they must not win the next game.
Clowns!
Nursery characters!
Playing cards!
I was foolish to trust you to play my games for me.
You're all too human, too kind.
I must find a more deadly character.
Ah!
The most deadly character of them all, because he looks so innocent.
A fat, jolly schoolboy.
I wonder what your friends will make of him, Doctor.
And I see you only have 123 moves to go.
Hey, what do you think that is?
This could be the next riddle.
Oh, no, it's moving. Not again.
Well, there's the way out.
Let's read this first.
Lady Luck will show the way, win the game or here you'll stay.
Well, that's shorter than the others were.
Doesn't mean it's going to be any easier.
Come on.
I can't see.
Don't do anything until we know exactly what's happening.
Ah!
Hello. Remember me? I'm Cyril, known to my friends as Billy.
Had you that time? Scare you?
Yes, it did.
We've seen you before, haven't we?
That's right. You're Dodo, aren't you?
And you're Steven?
I got a shock.
You should see your face.
You'll feel my hand in a minute.
What have you got there?
Be careful.
I'll show you.
Look.
Take the thing off.
Oh, right there.
Is there any more of these schoolboy jokes on you?
I don't know why you're carrying on like this.
I'm just trying to be friendly.
That's a charming way to make friends.
Look, I'm sure he didn't mean any harm.
Of course not.
Here, have some sweets.
Oh, no, thanks.
Oh, go on, do.
Dodo, take them. We'll be here all day.
If I eat any more, I should be thick, I expect.
You know, you're one of my heroes.
When I grow up, I want to be just like you.
Huh? Yes.
Well, you look pretty grown up to me already.
Steven, look.
The Doctor's reached move 902.
We'll have to hurry.
Tom, where's the next game we have to play?
Yaroo.
It's right over here.
You won't find it so easy this time, you know.
You'll be playing against me.
Don't say that.
