SCENE 1:        A COURTROOM (ON HOMEWORLD?)

MUSIC:          ATMOSPHERIC SWIRLS

                [THE JUDGE'S VOICE WANDERS ALL AROUND THE SOUNDSCAPE,
                 AND HAS VARIOUS EFFECTS APPLIED TO IT.  PERHAPS THE
                 INTENTION WAS TO SHOW THAT EVERY TV ON HOMEWORLD AND
                 BEYOND WAS TUNED-IN TO THIS MOST SENSATIONAL TRIAL.]

JUDGE:          You, and your accomplices have been found guilty of
                crimes against the domains and citizens of Homeworld.
                Grievous crimes too numerous to recount after such a
                long trial. Crimes that have shocked - disgusted - the
                people of our domains, both on Homeworld, and the Outer
                Colonies.  The price of your crime is execution.

                Three hours from now, Niton.  You, your family, and
                cohorts will be taken from here and placed aboard a
                prison ship, where you will be transported to the outer
                galaxies, and executed.

                For your trip, you will be under some of our Special
                Execution Crews, and a computer, which will guide you to
                your place of execution.

                Be gone from this courtroom, and prepare to face
                destruction.

                [BOUNCING AND OVER-LAPPING FROM CHANNEL TO CHANNEL]

                Guilty.  Guilty.  Guilty.  Guilty.  Guilty.  Guilty.
                Destruction.

                [DISSOLVE INTO]

MUSIC:          THEME 1

SCENE 2:        THE PRISONERS' CELL

NITON:          So here we are.  All nine of us.  And I suppose we're
                going to wait until we die?

SUKKI:          No, my love, we are not.  I refuse to meekly accept the
                findings of a court that I cannot acknowledge as just or
                fair.  I suggest we escape now.

NADIA:          Mother!  Father!  Hush!  The guards will hear you!

ALANA:          Hush yourself, sister.  Let the guards hear.  They
                believe we cannot escape, but our father has a plan - a
                good plan.  And, like all his plans, it will succeed.
                Yes, Father?

NITON:          You always were so bright, my eldest daughter.  Your
                mother and I are proud of you.  But my other daughter,
                Nadia, you are right to warn us.  We must keep together
                and share ideas.  We have but three hours in which to
                live.  Otherwise, we are surely doomed.  Now here's what
                we'll do.  Gather closely, my family. Gather round my
                partners as well.  The nine of us must prepare.

MUSIC:          BRIDGE [IN AND OUT]

SCENE 3:        OUTSIDE THE CELL

SFX:            VARIOUS BACKGROUND NOISES, ALONG WITH A SERIES OF BLEEPS
                AND BLOOPS, WHICH SO OFTEN ACCOMPANY SCI-FI WORKPLACES.

GUARD:          Not long now, Drakker.  Are you going on board the craft
                for this journey?

DRAKKER:        Indeed, not.  Joba is, however, and Commander Gryc.
                Time for a few games of hydra, my friend....  For the
                next *two* weeks.

GUARD:          Ha!  Certainly a good few hands.  You know, I still find
                myself feeling sorry for these prisoners.  I mean, not
                even Niton is as vicious as the Commander's new second,
                Lotin.
 
DRAKKER:        Personally, I would rather line them up before our guns
                - for target practice.

GUARD:          Maybe, my friend, we should persuade them to escape.  I
                doubt they realize the potential of our new weaponry.

SCENE 4:        THE PRISONERS' CELL

NITON:          You see?  The weapons are not of the highest quality.
                Not like the S-E-C's machine pistols.  Now, if we could
                overpower the guards for a few seconds alone, that would
                be enough time. Then we must separate and meet in
                position four in one hour.

                Is that doubt in your eye, Solomon?

SOLOMON:        I admire your optimism, Niton.  But what if the guards
                are too powerful?  Is there not a danger of failure?

SUKKI:          My husband has yet to fail us, Dag Solomon!  You would
                do well to remember that.

ALANA:          Father?  Shall my sister and I start the diversion?

NITON:          Certainly Alana.  Go now.

SCENE 5:        OUTSIDE THE PRISONERS' CELL.

                [ALANA AND NADIA SCREAM SHRILLY FROM WITHIN]

GUARD:          What's going on, Drakker?

DRAKKER:        I don't know.  Let's find out!

SFX:            CELL DOOR OPENING.

DRAKKER:        Fire!

SFX:            MACHINE GUNS FIRING RANDOM BURSTS

SF2:            FOOTSTEPS

NITON:          This way, my family.  Solomon!  Quickly!  With me!

SOLOMON:        So, their new weapons will be easily overpowered, my
                leader. They didn't have a chance!
 
NITON:          They will be avenged, partner.  Let's go...

GUARD:          ...Nowhere, Niton.  You and your family, and Dag Solomon
                have just had their time shortened.  Your ship is ready
                for departure.  A ship called `Despair'.

MUSIC:          STING

SCENE 6:        A FIELD NEAR COURT'S FIELD SCHOOL

SFX:            DISTANT CHURCH BELLS PEELING

MUSIC:          PLEASANT AND CHEERY, BEFITTING THE DAY

SFX:            THE TARDIS MATERIALIZES

SF2:            ATMOSPHERE: A PLEASANT AFTERNOON

GREG:           [WALKING ON] Here bally, bally.  Where are you?  Come to
                Greg. He wants to *kick* you.

DOCTOR:         It's amazingly difficult to get a response out of a
                plastic sphere. Besides, if I was your ball, I certainly
                wouldn't want to be found and promised a kick as a
                greeting.

GREG:           Ahhhh, but that's what footballs are for.  Especially
                round plastic ones.  Who knows?  Maybe he likes being
                kicked around.

DOCTOR:         Having never asked a football's opinion on the subject,
                I bow to your superior knowledge.

GREG:           You never know.  Maybe somewhere out there, there's a
                race of aliens; but instead of little green men with two
                heads from Mars, they're little round footballs from
                Saturn.  For the moment though I'd be grateful for
                finding a white and black one from Court's Field Sports
                Hall.
 
DOCTOR:         Is that the name of your school?

GREG:           Yes.  Don't you know that?  Oh, you're not staff then.
                You see, I'm new this term - well, this month, actually
                - so I haven't seen all the staff yet.

DOCTOR:         No.  I don't work here at all.  But I could be looking
                for a job soon; teaching science.

GREG:           Oh, perhaps you'd better see Mr. Lewis, then.  He'll be
                in the labs now with one of the junior classes.  Um,
                it's over there.

DOCTOR:         Thanks.  Oh, and your ball, by the way, is by that tree
                stump.

GREG:           Ah.  AH, Great!

                [ALTHOUGH `FATTY' IS DESCRIBED AS A `SIR', THE VOICE
                 SOUNDS DISTINCTLY FEMALE TO MY EARS.]

FATTY:          [OFF] Holmes!  Greg Holmes!  Have you found that ball
                yet?

GREG:           [UNDER HIS BREATH] Shut up, Fatty.

FATTY:          [OFF] Hurry up!

GREG:           [TO FATTY] Got it, Sir!  Just coming!

DOCTOR:         Thanks for the talk.  And don't be too rough on your
                poor football.

GREG:           Fine.

SCENE 7:        ON-BOARD `DESPAIR'

JOBA:           Prisoners are all aboard, sir.  For the moment, I've put
                the family in the largest cell, and Solomon in one of
                the others.

GRYC:           Good.  I think they ought to remain as such for the
                duration of the trip.  They haven't got much time left
                together, so maybe it'll keep them quiet.

JOBA:           How many Special Execution Crew on-board, Sir?

GRYC:           Just yourself, Junior Commander Lotin, and I.

JOBA:           Is that enough, sir?  They are dangerous.  They did plan
                that escape from the cell.

SFX:            ELECTRONIC DOOR OPENS

LOTIN:          Fixed.

GRYC:           Welcome aboard, Junior Commander Lotin.  What was fixed?

SFX:            ELECTRONIC DOOR CLOSES

LOTIN:          Their attempted breakout.  The judge wanted to be rid of
                them. It's been proving too costly to keep ships like
                `Despair' going.
 
JOBA:           `Going' is hardly the appropriate term.

GRYC:           I suppose the judges know best.  But mass murder is
                hardly justified.

LOTIN:          It seems quite just to me, sir, considering what Niton's
                gang have done.

GRYC:           Junior Commander Lotin, would I be right in thinking
                that you and Joba took part in the massacre of the
                prisoners?

LOTIN:          Just obeying orders, sir.

JOBA:           That's true, sir.

GRYC:           Obey.  Yes.  I suppose so.

LOTIN:          Don't worry, Commander.  If there are any further
                massacres to be created, Joba and I will handle them.

GRYC:           Sarcasm is neither your position, nor your strong point
                Lotin. Resume duties.  You too, Joba.
 
JOBA:           Sir

LOTIN:          [IN UNISON] Sir.

SCENE 8:        NEAR COURT'S FIELD, LATER THAT AFTERNOON

SFX:            BG: BIRDS CHIRPING

DOCTOR:         Greg, isn't it?

GREG:           Hel-lo, sir!  Any luck with Mr. Lewis?

DOCTOR:         Hmmm?  Lewis?  Oh.  No.  Greg, you haven't seen a police
                box, have you?  I'm afraid I've mislaid mine.

GREG:           Noooo, not since I was about six, actually.

DOCTOR:         Ahhh, and that would have been about ten years ago.
                Yes?

GREG:           Eleven [and/in] eight months to be exact.

DOCTOR:         Well, mine vanished a little more recently than that,
                I'm afraid.
 
GREG:           How recently?

DOCTOR:         Approximately thirty minutes.  Give or take the odd
                second.  I left it where I found your football.
 
GREG:           Oh, and what were you doing with a police box half an
                hour ago in our playing fields?

DOCTOR:         Losing it.

GREG:           Ask a silly question.

DOCTOR:         It's rather a special one, you see.  It moves on its
                own.  It... well it seems.

GREG:           Tractor wheels?  Those things must weigh a tonne.

DOCTOR:         It sort of flies.

GREG:           That I have just got to see.

DOCTOR:         You can, if I ever find it.  Trouble is, what I've
                actually lost is my sense of direction.  I can't find
                your wretched playing fields.

GREG:           Come on, Sir.  They're down here.

SCENE 9:        THE CENTRAL COMPUTER ROOM

LOTIN:          Here you are, Joba.  This is BABE, our computer.

BABE:           Good day, gentlemen.  I hope this trip is pleasant for
                you. A pleasure to welcome you aboard.

JOBA:           It seems very advanced.  What a shame to waste it on
                this ship.

BABE:           Allow me to assure you, Guard Joba, that nothing is
                wasted here. I am linked with Central Base on Homeworld,
                where my original is located.  I am but a minute
                extension.  There is one of me in every ship on
                Homeworld's fleet.  Can I help you, gentlemen?

LOTIN:          I'll leave you to it, Joba.  We'll have a drink later.

JOBA:           By all means.  See you.

SFX:            THE DOOR CLOSES

JOBA:           [TO BABE] Right my new friend. Can you put me through to
                Control at Central Base, please?

BABE:           I can, Guard Joba.

JOBA:           Then, please do... NOW.  [PAUSE]  Oh, come on BABE.  Do
                as you're told.  I haven't got very long before we're
                out of range. [PAUSE] BABE?  What's going on?  Please
                put me through as you said.  What's that noise?

SFX:            BG: A PULSING, ELECTRONIC SQUELCH, BECOMING MORE AND
                MORE OBVIOUS DURING THE COMING EXCHANGE

BABE:           I am sorry, Guard Joba, but I cannot help you just now.

JOBA:           Look.  You just said...

BABE:           I said I *can* put you in contact with Homeworld, but
                I'm afraid just now that I will not.  And please do not
                try to contact Commander Gryc.

SFX:            HE DOES SO.

SF2:            THERE IS A ZAP.

BABE:           I did ask you not to.

JOBA:           You've just blown out the communications!  What is going
                on? And what's that horrendous row?

BABE:           You are going to be very useful to me, Joba.  Us.  Very
                useful to us, indeed.  Your mind is trained.  It knows
                things that, as yet, have not been programmed into my
                superior at Central Base. I'm sure you understand my
                need to use you.  This might cause you pain.  For that,
                I apologize in advance.  Goodbye, Joba.

SCENE 10:       DESPAIR'S CELL AREA

GRYC:           I hope you are comfortable here.  I'm only sorry that
                your last few hours together are not as comfortable as
                they ought to have been.
   
SUKKI:          I suppose you are here to deliver a sermon to my family,
                concerning the stupidity of trying to upset the system
                of Homeworld.
  
GRYC:           That is neither my job, nor my intention.  I'm here
                purely to guide this ship to the detonation sector, and
                then take my men and leave in the pod.  I don't like
                being on board a prison ship any more than you do,
                Madam.

NITON:          Then help us to escape.  We won't return to Homeworld.
                We'll go to a colony.  Assume a new life.  No one will
                know.  The computer will continue with the plan.

GRYC:           That's more than my life's worth.

SFX:            COMMUNICATOR BEEPS

GRYC:           Yes.  What is it Lotin?

LOTIN:          [OVER COMMUNICATOR] Joba's dead.  Electrocuted.  And it
                seems to have damaged BABE.
 
GRYC:           I'm on my way.

SUKKI:          We know nothing of this.

GRYC:           Really?  We'll see.

NITON:          But how could we?

NITON:          I have no idea.  But it's an opportune moment for us.  I
                have a plan.

MUSIC:          SWIRLING BRIDGE

SCENE 11:       COURT'S FIELDS SCHOOL PLAYING FIELDS

GREG:           One police box.  Now, I've just walked all round it, and
                I see no wheels, no wings, and no engines.  I'm sorry to
                disappoint you, but this obviously isn't yours.

DOCTOR:         Young man, I detect a certain note of cynicism in your
                voice. Would you care to look inside?
 
GREG:           Umm, No thanks, uh, I'd better get back to the school,
                or I'll be shot.  Um, goodbye, mister.

DOCTOR:         Just Doctor.  I'm a scientist, remember.

GREG:           Oh, yes.  Uh, right.  Bye, then!

DOCTOR:         Just a quick look?  The door's open.  I'm hardly going
                to kidnap you in a police box, am I?
 
GREG:           I s'pose not.  All right.  If it makes you happy.

DOCTOR:         It certainly does.

MUSIC:          A MIX OF WONDER AND VERTIGO (CONTINUING UNDER)

GREG:           Oh, my!

DOCTOR:         Impressive.  Yes?

GREG:           Yes.  Look.  I know this seems daft, but...

DOCTOR:         It's bigger on the inside than the out?  I know!

GREG:           That wasn't what I was going to say.

DOCTOR:         [DISAPPOINTED] Oh.

GREG:           But now you mention it, it is bigger in he....  And I
                walked around the outside.  Impossible!

DOCTOR:         Can't be impossible.  You're here!  You can see it!

GREG:           Look.  I'm no Einstein, but I don't believe in this at
                all.

DOCTOR:         Transcendental engineering.  Clever, isn't it?

GREG:           You could say that.

DOCTOR:         Now.  What were you going to say?

GREG:           What?  Oh just, well, who *are* you?  I *didn't* and
                *don't* believe that rubbish about looking for a job.

DOCTOR:         I travel in space and time.  And I'm usually referred to
                as The Doctor.  I actually *came* because someone told
                me, *years* ago, that I could see some good cricket
                here.  But I must have mis-set the coordinates a little,
                and ended up a few months early. First thing I knew
                about it was getting hit by a flying football - of white
                and black plastic.

GREG:           Ohhh, really, heh.  That's nice.  Can I go now?

DOCTOR:         Must you?  The universe has some wonderful sights.  Ever
                been to the Eye of Orion?  Or seen the floating seas of
                Cassiopeia? You'd like them.  But, no.  Of course, you
                must go.  [MOCKING] Mustn't miss your lessons.  Have fun
                in the labs.  And don't eat the litmus paper.

GREG:           Okay.  I won't.  Bye, Doctor.  Nice seeing your, uh,
                police box.

DOCTOR:         Goodbye.

                [A PAUSE]

GREG:           Does it really fly?

DOCTOR:         Sort of.

GREG:           I've never flown before.  Could you take me to the
                courtyard?

DOCTOR:         Probably not.  But let's have a try, shall we?

GREG:           Well, this isn't the courtyard at Courtfield's, is it?

DOCTOR:         Ah.  Actually, it isn't even the playing fields.

GREG:           I had noticed.  Distinct lack of trees.  And games'
                masters. *Fat* games' masters.  Every cloud has a silver
                lining.

DOCTOR:         Fancy finding out where we are?

GREG:           Well, standing here isn't going to take me to any
                floating seas, is it?

DOCTOR:         Jolly good!  Let's go...that way.

GRYC:           Any noises from BABE?

LOTIN:          Nothing, sir.  It's totally dead.

                killed Guard Joba?  Why did [?]?


BABE:           Intruders! Storage bay... FOUR!  Int....

LOTIN:          Sabotage.  It must be!

GRYC:           But, Lotin.

LOTIN:          Yes, sir?

GRYC:           Don't get over-enthusiastic.  I'd like to question [?
                ?].  We're not going to learn too much about what's
                happened if you fry them, or gun them down.

LOTIN:          I won't *touch* them, sir.... much.

SCENE 14:       STORAGE BAY FOUR

DOCTOR:         Where shall we go now?

GREG:           I heard something cry!

DOCTOR:         I didn't.  Whereabouts?

GREG:           Down that corridor.  To the left.  Shall we take a look?

DOCTOR:         Why not?  It's not Cassiopeia, but anywhere's better
                than an English football pitch.
 
GREG:           I think I'd go along with that.  There it was again!
                That cry!

DOCTOR:         Well, I just didn't hear it.  I suppose it's just a
                creaking door.

LOTIN:          It wasn't.  It was the prisoners.  Probably trying to
                escape.

DOCTOR:         [WARMLY] Hel-lo there!

LOTIN:          Shut up.

DOCTOR:         Charming.  I am The Doctor, and this is...

GREG:           Greg Holmes.  Hi.

LOTIN:          I'm sorry.  I thought you might speak my language.

DOCTOR:         We do.

LOTIN:          Could have fooled me.  I said `shut up'.  Where I come
                from, that means do not make a sound.

GREG:           Oh, sorry.

DOCTOR:         Greg, this gentleman asked us to be quiet.  So, as this
                is *his* place, I think we ought to do as he says, don't
                you?

GREG:           You're the one making all the noise.

LOTIN:          I *won't* tell you again.

DOCTOR:         I'm sorry.  I've forgotten what you were going to tell
                us.

LOTIN:          SHUT UP!

DOCTOR:         AH YES!  I remember!  That's a nice gun.  Pump action
                bullets, eh?  A bit primitive.

LOTIN:          But effective.  Lasers kill permanently.  These maim.
                Very useful for questioning people.  Now, shut up.

GREG:           *You* were talking.

DOCTOR:         Greg!

LOTIN:          You have been found on board prison ship Despair.  You
                are suspected of sabotage to her main computer,
                resulting in the death of Guard Joba through
                electrocution.  What do you have to say?

GREG:           But, we've only just....

DOCTOR:         Impossible.  I refuse to accept your claim.  My friend
                and I are innocent travellers, and are guilty of
                nothing.  I *demand* to see your commanding officer.

SFX:            A LASER POWERING UP

GRYC:           Then turn around.  He's behind you.  And I have a laser.
                Permanent, or not, it's effective.

DOCTOR:         Hello!  I'm the Doctor!  And.....

GRYC:           I heard the first time.  I'm Commander Gryc.  The
                gentleman with the bullet gun is Junior Commander Lotin.
 
DOCTOR:         Nice to meet you.  Lotin, you informed me that there's
                been a death.  How sad.  I can assure you that we had
                nothing to do with it.

GREG:           Maybe one of your prisoners....

LOTIN:          The Commander was with them when Joba was murdered.

DOCTOR:         `Killed'.  Let's keep the debate open, please.

LOTIN:          `Murdered'.

DOCTOR:         So pedantic in one so young.  Murdered, it is.  But
                leave us out.  Yourselves.  And the prisoners?  Who does
                that leave?

GRYC:           No one.

LOTIN:          And *why* should we leave out you two?

DOCTOR:         Because we're innocent!

LOTIN:          Silly me!  Well!  On your way then.

DOCTOR:         Not just pedantic, but sarcastic!  Now then, Commander
                Gryc, what's the picture?  I'm here to help you.

GRYC:           Really?  Who sent you?

GREG:           Homeworld Central Base.

GRYC:           What?  Why?

DOCTOR:         To check up on your abilities as... uh... a commander.
                Rumour has it back at Base that Lotin is more suited to
                prison duty than you.  Certain officials would rather
                have you behind a computer bank, than on board a ship.

GRYC:           Councillor White, I suppose.

GREG:           And others!

LOTIN:          Why were you sent to help?  Help with what?

DOCTOR:         Ah!  Well, Uh, you see Central Base thought that this
                prison ship might be attacked, so that [sic] we were
                stowed away to observe what was going on.

GRYC:           Really?  How nice.  I had no idea Central Base cared so
                much about us.  Funny how there isn't a Councillor
                White.  Now who are you, really?

DOCTOR:         I don't think you'd believe me if I told you.

LOTIN:          Commander?  Maybe BABE's repaired itself.  Maybe it can
                get these people to talk.

GRYC:           How?

LOTIN:          We could use the mind drain.

GRYC:           No.  That's for the prisoners only.

GREG:           What's a mind drain?

DOCTOR:         Greg, I don't think you really want to know.

GREG:           Yes I do!

LOTIN:          Yes he does.  Tell him.

DOCTOR:         It's rather as the name suggests.  Drains your mind of
                all its knowledge and stores it in a central computer.
                Primitive, but effective.
  
GRYC:           You know an awful lot about our technology, Doctor.

DOCTOR:         It's hardly a unique system, Commander.  I've seen them
                all over the galaxies.  Dreadful things.  Devices of
                psychopaths.  You see, Greg they don't return the stolen
                knowledge.  And the victim is left a cabbage for the
                rest of his life.
 
GRYC:           We don't use it very often.  It's a deterrent to
                prisoners. They would rather be executed than drained.
                It stops escape attempts.

SCENE 15:       THE CENTRAL COMPUTER ROOM

NITON:          Well, this must be the central computer room.  We've got
                this far.  Now let's see what we can do to escape.

NADIA:          Father.  See this?  It must operate the computer.
                `system on-line', it says.

BABE:           Good day citizens.  How can I be of service?

NITON:          Tell us of a way to escape this spacecraft.

BABE:           I am so sorry, but I can not help you.  My optical
                circuits, in conjunction with my memory wafers, inform
                me that you are Niton, Sukki, Alana, and Nadia; the
                criminals sent to be executed on this ship.  It is my
                job to stop you escaping.  How did you leave the cell?

SUKKI:          That was easy!

ALANA:          Mother!  Be Silent!  I do not trust this computer.  It
                seeks to trick us!

NADIA:          She is right.  Maybe it will inform Commander Gryc that
                we have escaped.

BABE:           Commander Gryc was informed as soon as you entered this
                room.

MUSIC:          MYSTERIOUS AND TENSE; BUILDING.

BABE:           But he can not help you now.  No one can ever help you.
                Your minds will be absorbed into my central
                consciousness.

NADIA:          Father!  What is... happening?!?

SUKKI:          Husband!  I... can not!

NITON:          Nadia!  Try to get out!

BABE:           You can not escape.  Please do not try.

ALANA:          I must reach the door!

NADIA:          Alana!  No!

BABE:           No escape.

DOCTOR:         I don't know.  It's quite penetrating.  This way.

LOTIN:          Stop, or I'll shoot!

DOCTOR:         Shoot then, but it won't achieve much.

SFX:            GRYC FIRES OFF TWO SHOTS (SOUNDING REMARKABLY LIKE A

GRYC:           Well done, Lotin.  That's both of them escaped.  *And* a
                young boy takes your gun.  Very good.  Let's go.
   
LOTIN:          You'll pay for this, Doctor!  [UNDER HIS BREATH] And so,
                Commander, will you.
