What about all the�데?
Are you ok Saturday?
Oh
Landing look I am fair, right? Oh
Thank the Lord for that, you know doctor I'll never ask you to do that again, huh?
There must be no reason for that
Anyway doctor you you've done it. It's Mars. It must be your landing the chart is exactly where you said you would
I
Wait a mo this don't look like Mars to me
No Duchess, but I have seen pictures of the moon surface and that's what this looks like that's the moon
Doctor is it the moon?
Well, you weren't too far out will you only about 200 million miles all right, let's move on
We can
Now what you don't expect to land us on the moon and moon and just let us fly off just like that
Do you yeah, at least let's have a look round that picture can be the moon the moon's way up in the sky
Where do you think you're going? We're not gonna tell us. It's no surely. Oh, please doctor
The TARDIS isn't out of control or anything. Is it? No, no, no. No, it was just a bumpy landing. That's all
Yeah, well if you must go ashore
Only half an hour, right? You can't go sure like that. You need spacesuits. There's no atmosphere out there. Come on
There's some in the chest
We'll maybe meet the old man of the moon
Nobody maybe don't get some gear on what why?
Look over there
I don't see anything
What did you say?
Sort of great glow in the sky
It's probably your eyes getting used to the lunar light. Hey doctor possibly
I'm gonna need these great gloves for
Try a little jump
All right
Careful! One tear in that spacesuit and you'll suffocate
Never tell them to take a ballet lesson, Ben
Here I come, here I come
Where's he gone?
Over there
What on earth?
Look!
What is it?
I don't know
Hey I can see Jamie, there he is
Hey there's somebody coming out
Come on, let's go
I don't know
Right there
What on earth is it?
I don't know
Get him along to the medical unit
But doctor Evans has gone down with it as well
Yes I know that but the relief doctor from earth should be here on the next shuttle rocket
Yes of course
Bob give me a hand will you
Yes right
And
Jule you take over
Come on he won't bite you
There must be some source to this infection
Look we'd better get the lads in here and tell them what's happening
Get them on the blur would you Niels
Ok Noppy
Niels speaking
We've got a bit of a flap on up here
Mr. Hobson wants a word with you all
Hello
Where did you lads spring from?
Don't tell me the shuttle rocket's arrived already
No it hasn't
There's another one with them sir
Bob's taken him along to the medical unit
He's just knocked himself out or something
Oh no as if we hadn't got enough troubles already
Have they been through the sterile room?
Yes Holly
We don't want to cause you any trouble
Just let us collect our young friend and we'll be off
Hey not so fast
Please let me go and see Jamie
I will take you there mademoiselle if you will come with me
Alright young lady you can carry on
This way
But I'd just like to have a word with you two
If you do with an extra bacteria check by the look of it
Bacteria check?
That's what I said
Well thanks
Have you know our TARDIS is a sterile
TARDIS?
Our space craft
They're all here sir anytime you're ready
Right well we'll learn more about your space craft a little later
Meanwhile you better come along with me meet my team and listen to what I have to say
Thank you very much
Well you know what this place is?
Well
It looks like some sort of
Weather control centre?
Ah yes and that's the thing with which you control the weather
That's the culprit then
Aye
That's what gave us such a bumpy landing
Some sort of gravity device
You are from earth aren't you?
Yes
Well where have you been for the last 20 years
Every school kid knows about the Gravitron isn't there?
Ah yes
It must be about the year
2050 then
We've got a proper Rip Van Winkle here
It's 2070 in case you'd like to know
There you are I was only 20 years out
Well before we all forget what century we're in
I better tell you why I've called you here
Why don't you introduce us first
I am a doctor
A doctor?
You've arrived just in time we need your help
Ah do you?
I'll see you in a moment
Now this virus
Well I may be able to help you if you'll introduce us
Doctor you better meet him
We're all scientists here you see
No room for idle hands I see to that
Roger Benoit beside you there is my assistant
He takes over as chief scientist
If anything happens to me
He's a physicist like me and Joe Benson
Niels our mad dave
Is an astronomer and mathematician
As is Charlie here
Ralph, Jules and France are geologists
When they're not acting as cooks
Lookouts, general and you know handymen
And this is where you control the earth's weather
I see
The gravitron there controls the tides
The tides control the weather
And from this console here we plot it all on that map
Simple eh?
Oh yeah very simple
We should add all this back in 1966
Was it a bad year?
What's happened?
It's Jim quick
France take over
Yes Jim
We've been cladified with a pacific starting to move
What does that mean?
Some sort of change in the weather
We'll soon hear from earth what it means
Here it comes
International space control headquarters earth calling weather control moon
Come in please
Moon port standing by
I've seen it like that before doctor
Moon port standing by
Hobson here
What's happening up there?
The hurricane you were guiding is now 45 degrees off course
It's threatening Hawaii
One of my men was taken ill
We're operational again now
The controller would like to know the cause of the illness
Yes so have we
We've now got three men down with this mystery virus
In the past few hours
Including the doctor
One moment please
Stand by for further instructions
Just hang on another couple of minutes lads
We better hear what the great Mr. Rindberg has to say
Robbie
There it is again
I'll play it back to you
Yes so have we
We've now got three men down with this mystery virus
In the past few hours
Including the doctor
One moment please
Stand by for further instructions
One moment please
Stand by for further instructions
Hear the big noise ratio on that rerun
We're being monitored again
Monitored?
Someone not too far away from the base
Is listening to every word we say
Moon base
Come in moon base
Still standing by
Well?
Your instructions are to send blood samples back to earth for investigation
Well when can we do that?
The next shuttle Rocky's not for another month
Then they must be put on that rocket
In the meantime the moon base is to be put in quarantine
Quarantine?
Well what if these men aren't fit enough to go back to work
I shall need replacements
If you radio information about this virus
We'll do our best to identify it and suggest treatment
I demand to speak to Rindberg
The controller is busy
I'm sorry
Over and out
That whole conversation was monitored by someone or something
Oh never mind about that now that Rindberg fella just won't talk to you
How can we trace down this mystery illness with the doctor himself down with it
We'd better get out of these things and see how Jamie is
Perhaps I could be of help in the sick bay now
Anything you can do
Bob! Yes Mr. Hobson?
Show him to the medical unit will you? Yes of course
This way please
Well you all heard the position
We don't know what this infection is or how it got into the base
But I want you all to take extra precautions while this emergency is on
We may be short handed for quite a while
Is that how it goes doctor?
Yes that's right
Then this unit automatically controls the pulse, the temperature and the breathing
A sort of electronic doctor
Yes
And he'll give you a pair of trousers
And he even gives you medicines too
Yes it'll do very nearly anything
Can't be nice to him
How do you think he is doctor?
Oh he's not too bad, he's a bit concussed and feverish
But he'll be alright with rest
The Piper, the McCrimmon Piper
Don't let him get me!
Piper? No
Some legend of his clan
As far as I can make out this Piper appears to a McCrimmon just before he dies
Has this Phantom Piper appeared to Jamie yet?
You don't believe it do you?
No but he does, it's important to him
He keeps asking us to keep the Piper away from him
Good
Well we'll see whether we can do just that
Well carry on nurse
Well at least I tried to help
With a ward full of sick men and no doctor, somebody's got to do something
I wonder who this is?
Don't get too near Polly, have a look on his chart
Yes that's a good idea
It's Doctor Evans
Oh yes, the station doctor, he was the first one to get it
He looks one of the worst
There's something about this epidemic that I don't quite understand
It's not like a real disease at all, it's almost as if...
Well not real, what more do you want?
I don't know, but there are certain signs and symptoms which don't add up
Ben, I want you to go along to the control room and keep an eye on things
Well Al
Give a hand, do anything but keep your eyes and ears open
Right, something's very wrong here
Something very wrong indeed
Steal up hubby
Why don't you take a rest, go and get some sleep
How can I rest with that thing up the spout?
You know the score as well as I do
Five units off centre, we lift half London into space
Five more and the Atlantic water level goes up three feet
Rimbaud just doesn't understand the pressure we're under
Hey you, what do you think you're doing skulking there?
Well I was just wondering, I forgot, if I could help sir
Help? How could you help?
We could do with an extra pair of hands, he can help me
Well keep him away from me that's all
Alright I'll go and lie down, call me if anything happens
Yes of course
Oh by the way, there were two more of those momentary drops in air pressure while I was on, I put them in the lodge
Right
Well there are some coffee cups to clear away if you wish to be helpful
Right
And oh, Ralph, that is number 14, needs a hand down in the food store
Can you find a way there?
Yeah I'll find it
Goodbye
Anyone would think we've got rats up here
Who's that?
Who is it?
It's only me mate
For heaven's sake, don't go sneaking around like that
Blimey, you lot are half edgy
You will be too mate, you've been up here long enough
Say, are you responsible for the broken bags here?
Oh come off it, I've only just arrived haven't I?
Uh huh, okay, see if you can find that lot, around the back there most likely
Okay
Let's see, still needs some more milk and sugar
Number 14?
Ralph?
Where are you?
Oh, I'm in St. Alfred, funny bloke
Who's that?
Shh, it's all right Polly, it's only me, we don't want to wake everyone up do we?
You look as though you could do with some sleep yourself
I'm all right
What have you got there?
Oh, I've been doing a little investigation
A piece of silver paper, what is it?
I don't know
What's happened?
Oh, it's nothing, it's probably just a change over in the time cycle
What do you mean?
Oh, well you see, it's rather interesting really
You see, on the moon, they have a fortnight of days and a fortnight of nights
Well?
Well it's obvious isn't it?
They have to make their own day and night artificially up here
Or it should upset their whole biological time clock
Their what?
I don't know whether they were coming or going, get it?
Yes
Clever girl, QED, that's why it's dark up here
Oh, I see what you mean, yes of course, how stupid of me
Of course, along at the control centre it's probably broad daylight
Polly, you wouldn't be making fun of me would you?
No
Doctor Evans!
The hand, no, don't touch me, no, the silver hand
Ah!
Doctor, is he?
Yes, I'm afraid he is
What are you going to do?
What did he mean by the silver hand?
I better report this to Mr Hobson
Can't find him, Ralph
Well I was helping him load some stores and he just disappeared
What, in this place?
Well there are only 19 of us
Have you tried his quarters?
Yes
Why didn't you report this to me?
Well I'm just telling you now, aren't I?
Now what?
I'm very sorry, it's Doctor Evans
Well?
I'm afraid he's dead
Dead?
No
This must be reported at once
Yes, it's got to be
No, no, we haven't got enough data yet, you know what they're like down there
I'll come to the sick bay with you, come on
Here
Gently, Jamie
Jamie
Ah!
What's the matter?
Something just went out of that door
Nils, John
What was it?
Nothing, nothing there
Your nerves are getting the better of you
Where's Evans body?
Over there
All right, let's get it over
Is this someone's idea of a particularly bad joke?
This is no joke, believe me
Mr. Hobson, Mr. Hobson, you are wanted
Another man's collapsed at the controls, the graviton has swung off alignment again
Come on
And you'd better find that doctor's body or out you all go, quarantine or no quarantine
I don't understand what could have happened, I must have dozed off or something
One thing I am sure of, something went out of that door just as you came in
That body can't just have vanished
Polly, I'm going to leave you alone, now just for a minute
All right
Water, water
I'll go and get you some
Water
It's you, the phantom paper
