00:00:11Would all passengers please return to their seats and fasten their safety points.
00:00:15We are experiencing slight turbulence.
00:00:18Those engines failed and have gone against critical.
00:00:22The ship is going down. Christmas is cancelled.
00:00:27Entering Alistair now.
00:00:31Level, keep a level.
00:00:32With water, can't see.
00:00:35What is their stuff?
00:00:37Clouds?
00:00:38What kind of clouds?
00:00:40Are you sending a distressing look?
00:00:42It's not me.
00:00:46Who's in the honeymoon suite?
00:00:52I'm set for help.
00:00:52Who the hell are you?
00:00:53There's a friend of mine, okay, and he can help us.
00:00:55You're coming.
00:00:56What are you wearing?
00:00:58That doesn't matter.
00:00:59Are you from the honeymoon suite?
00:01:00Oh, shut up.
00:01:02Oh, damn it.
00:01:04The light stopped flashing. Does that mean he's coming?
00:01:07Honeymoon suite.
00:01:07Oh, oh, clothes.
00:01:09Um, it is just a bit of fun.
00:01:12Bailey, shut up.
00:01:13He sends the lost an eight to send her home.
00:01:16So, does this mean he's coming or does it mean I need to change the power button?
00:01:19Oh, come.
00:01:19Get on his cover.
00:01:20Right, well, he is cutting it kind of high.
00:01:22If we can't stabilize the orbit, we're finished.
00:01:24There's nothing to look onto.
00:01:25I am flying blind.
00:01:29Come on, Doctor.
00:01:30Come on.
00:01:31It's not becoming alongside us.
00:01:32It's something small like a shuttle.
00:01:33Just this one, stop you late.
00:01:35Bob.
00:01:36Incoming message.
00:01:38It's from the other ship.
00:01:38Entree.
00:01:44What does that mean?
00:01:45It's Christmas.
00:01:47It's Christmas.
00:02:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:02:35Get your prunet from here.
00:02:47On every world, wherever people are, in the deepest part of the winter, at the exact midpoint, everybody stops and
00:02:58turns and hugs.
00:02:59As if to say, well done. Well done, everyone. We're halfway out of the dark.
00:03:13Back on Earth, we call this Christmas, or the winter solstice.
00:03:24On this world, the first settlers called it the Crystal Feast.
00:03:29You know what I call it? I call it expecting something for nothing.
00:03:36Sir, Mr. Sardik, we're only asking for one day. Just let her out for Christmas.
00:03:44She loves Christmas.
00:03:45Does she? Oh, does she? I see.
00:03:50Hello. Oh, wakey, wakey.
00:03:53It's Christmas.
00:03:55Do you know what? I think she's a bit cool about the whole thing.
00:04:00Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:04:04That was funny.
00:04:07She's frozen.
00:04:09She's what, sorry?
00:04:10She's in the eyes. She can't hear you.
00:04:13Oh, what a clever little boy.
00:04:16You must be so irritated.
00:04:19How much?
00:04:20Uh, it's, uh, 4,500 Gideons, sir.
00:04:23You took a loan of 4,500 Gideons.
00:04:27And little Miss Christmas is my security.
00:04:30We're not asking for her back.
00:04:32Just let her have one day. Let her have Christmas with us.
00:04:35Sir, it's the, uh, president.
00:04:38Tell him I'm busy.
00:04:40Now.
00:04:42Where were we?
00:04:43Oh, yes.
00:04:45She's pretty, though, your daughter.
00:04:48Maybe I should keep her.
00:04:50She's not my daughter, sir.
00:04:51She's my sister.
00:04:53She volunteered for the ice when the family were in difficulties many years ago.
00:04:57Sorry.
00:04:57Sorry, sir.
00:04:58The president says there's a galaxy-class ship trapped in the cloud layer,
00:05:01and, well, we have to let it land.
00:05:03Or?
00:05:04Well, it'll crash, sir.
00:05:07Oh.
00:05:08Well, that's a kind of landing, isn't it?
00:05:10It's from Earth, sir, registering over 4,000 lifeforms on board.
00:05:15Not if we wait a bit.
00:05:17You can't just let it crash, sir.
00:05:20Says who?
00:05:22I'll get in there.
00:05:24Look, Petal, we already have a surplus population.
00:05:27No more people allowed on this planet.
00:05:30I don't make the rules.
00:05:31Oh, no, hang on.
00:05:33I do.
00:05:35Right, you look.
00:05:37Poor begging people.
00:05:38Off home and pray for a miracle.
00:05:53Ah.
00:05:55Yes.
00:05:56Blimey.
00:05:57Sorry.
00:05:57Christmas Eve on a rooftop.
00:05:58Saw a chimney.
00:05:59My whole brain just went,
00:06:00what the hell?
00:06:01Don't worry.
00:06:03Fat fella will be doing the rounds later.
00:06:05I'm just scoping out the general chimney-ness.
00:06:08Yes.
00:06:09Nice eyes.
00:06:11Good traction.
00:06:13Big tick.
00:06:14Fat fella.
00:06:15Father Christmas.
00:06:16Santa Claus.
00:06:17Or, as I've always known him, Jeff.
00:06:20There's no such person as Father Christmas.
00:06:21Oh, yeah.
00:06:23Me and Father Christmas.
00:06:24Frank Sinatra's hunting lodge, 1952.
00:06:27See him at the back with the blonde,
00:06:28Albert Einstein,
00:06:29the three of us together.
00:06:30Oh, watch out.
00:06:32Okay?
00:06:34Keep your faith.
00:06:35Stay off the naughtiness.
00:06:37Oh, now, what's this, man?
00:06:38I love this.
00:06:39A big, flashy, lighty thing.
00:06:40That's what brought me here.
00:06:41Big, flashy, lighty things have got me written all over them.
00:06:43Not actually.
00:06:44Give me time and a crayon.
00:06:46Now, this big, flashy, lighty thing
00:06:47is connected to the spire in your dome, yeah?
00:06:50And it controls the sky.
00:06:52Well, technically, it controls the clouds,
00:06:54which technically aren't clouds at all.
00:06:56Well, they're clouds of tiny particles of ice.
00:06:59Ice clouds love that.
00:07:01Who's she?
00:07:02Nobody important.
00:07:03Nobody important.
00:07:06Blimey, that's amazing.
00:07:08Do you know, in 900 years of time and space,
00:07:10I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.
00:07:13Now, this console is the key to saving that ship.
00:07:17I'll eat my hat.
00:07:19If I had a hat, I'll eat someone's hat,
00:07:21not someone who's using their hat.
00:07:22I don't want to shock a man or something.
00:07:23Sorry, rambling, because this isn't working.
00:07:26The controls are isomorphic, one-to-one.
00:07:28They respond only to me.
00:07:30Oh, you fibber.
00:07:33Isomorphic.
00:07:34There's no such thing.
00:07:54These controls are isomorphic.
00:07:56The skies of this entire world are mine.
00:07:59My family tamed them, and now I own them.
00:08:02Tamed the sky?
00:08:03What does that mean?
00:08:04It means I'm Kazran Sarding.
00:08:08How could he possibly not know who I am?
00:08:12Well, just easily bored, I suppose.
00:08:16So, I need your help, then.
00:08:18Make an appointment.
00:08:20There are 4,003 people in a spaceship trapped in your cloud belt.
00:08:24Without your help, they're going to die.
00:08:26Yes.
00:08:29You don't have to let that happen.
00:08:30I know, but I'm going to.
00:08:32Bye-bye.
00:08:33Board now.
00:08:33Shackle.
00:08:38Oh, look at you, looking all tough now.
00:08:41There are 4,003 people I won't allow to die tonight.
00:08:43Do you know where that puts you?
00:08:45Where?
00:08:474,004.
00:08:48Was that a sort of threat-y thing?
00:08:50Whatever happens tonight, remember, you brought it on yourself.
00:08:55Yeah, yeah, right.
00:08:57Get him out of here.
00:08:58And next time, try and find me some funny tall people.
00:09:02Please, please, please.
00:09:03Get out.
00:09:07No, stop, don't you die.
00:09:09You leave him.
00:09:15Get him out of here.
00:09:17Get that foul-smelling family out of here.
00:09:20No, no, no.
00:09:21No, he.
00:09:27What?
00:09:28What do you want?
00:09:29A simple life.
00:09:31But you didn't hit the boy.
00:09:33Well, I will next time.
00:09:34You see, you won't.
00:09:36Now, why?
00:09:38What am I missing?
00:09:40Get out.
00:09:41Get out of this house.
00:09:43Chairs, of course.
00:09:44The chairs.
00:09:45Stupid me, the chairs.
00:09:46Chairs.
00:09:48There's a portrait on the wall behind me.
00:09:49It looks like you, but it's too old, so it's your father.
00:09:51All the chairs are angled away from it.
00:09:52Daddy's been dead for 20 years, but you still can't get comfortable where he can see you.
00:09:56There's a Christmas tree in the painting, but none in this house on Christmas Eve.
00:09:59You're scared of him, and you're scared of being like him.
00:10:00Well, good for you.
00:10:01You're not like him.
00:10:02Not really.
00:10:02Do you know why?
00:10:04Why?
00:10:06Because you didn't hit the boy.
00:10:10Merry Christmas, Mr. Sardu.
00:10:12I despise Christmas.
00:10:16Shouldn't.
00:10:17There you.
00:10:18It's what?
00:10:19What do you mean?
00:10:22Halfway out of the dark.
00:10:30Get out the downstairs with the others, and clean up this mess.
00:10:38Everything's on line.
00:10:40Secondary furniture's vented.
00:10:41Have you got a plan yet?
00:10:42Yes, I do.
00:10:43Are you lying?
00:10:44Yes, I am.
00:10:45Don't treat me like an idiot.
00:10:47Was he lying?
00:10:49No, no.
00:10:50Okay, the good news, I've trapped a machine that unlocks a cloud belt.
00:10:53I could use it to clear you a flight corridor, and you could land easily.
00:10:56Well, hey, hey, that's great news.
00:10:58But I can't control the machine.
00:11:00That's great.
00:11:01But I've met a man who can.
00:11:02Ah, well, there you go.
00:11:03And he hates me.
00:11:04You're being extra charming and clever.
00:11:06Yeah, how did you know?
00:11:07Lucky guess.
00:11:08Sir?
00:11:08Sir?
00:11:09Hang on.
00:11:10I've never seen anybody stand up to Mr. Sardik like that.
00:11:13Bless you, sir.
00:11:14And Merry Christmas.
00:11:15Merry Christmas.
00:11:16Lovely.
00:11:16Sorry, a bit busy.
00:11:17You better get inside, sir.
00:11:18The fog's ticked tonight, and there's a fish warning.
00:11:20All right, yeah.
00:11:21Sorry, fish.
00:11:22Yeah, you know what they like when they get a bit hungry.
00:11:23Yeah, fish.
00:11:24I know fish.
00:11:25Fish!
00:11:25It's all Mr. Sardik's fault, I reckon.
00:11:27He always lets a few fish through the cloud layer when he's in a bad mood.
00:11:32Bless you once again, sir.
00:11:36Fish!
00:11:38Doctor, the captain says we've got less than an hour.
00:11:40What should we be doing?
00:11:43Fish.
00:11:45Sorry, what?
00:11:48Fish that can swim in fog.
00:11:52I love new planets.
00:11:54Doctor, doctor, please, don't get distracted.
00:11:56Now, why would people be frightened of you tiny little fellas?
00:12:00Look at you, sweet little fishy wishes.
00:12:05My new fish in the fog, so the cloud cover all.
00:12:09Careful up there.
00:12:11Oh, oh, great.
00:12:12Thanks, doctor, because there was a real danger.
00:12:14We were all going to nod off.
00:12:15We've got less than an hour.
00:12:17I know.
00:12:21Doctor?
00:12:22How are you getting us off here?
00:12:23Doctor, give me a minute.
00:12:24It can't use a tariff because it can't look on.
00:12:27So, that ship needs to land, but it can't land unless a very bad man suddenly decides to turn nice
00:12:30just in time for Christmas Day.
00:12:31Doctor, I can't hear you.
00:12:33What is that?
00:12:33Is that singing?
00:12:34A Christmas carol.
00:12:35A what?
00:12:36A Christmas carol.
00:12:37A what?
00:12:38A Christmas carol.
00:12:42Doctor?
00:12:46Kazran Sard.
00:12:47Doctor!
00:12:49Merry Christmas, Kazran Sardyck.
00:12:53I love you, Kazran Sardyck.
00:12:57I love you, Kazran Sardyck.
00:13:03Hello.
00:13:09My name is Kazran Sardyck.
00:13:11I'm twelve and a half.
00:13:13And this is my bedroom.
00:13:17This is my top secret special project.
00:13:20This is my top secret special project.
00:13:23For my eyes early.
00:13:25Merry Christmas.
00:13:26Kazran!
00:13:27Kazran!
00:13:29Kazran, what are you doing?
00:13:31What are you doing?
00:13:35I've warned you before about this stupid, you know, and ridiculous child.
00:13:40I was just going to make a film of the fish.
00:13:42Fish are dangerous.
00:13:43I just want to see them.
00:13:45You'll be stupid.
00:13:46They're far too young.
00:13:48Everyone at school's seen the fish.
00:13:50That's enough.
00:13:51We'll be singing to the necks like gypsies.
00:13:54The singing works.
00:13:55I've seen it.
00:13:57The fish like the singing.
00:13:58What does it matter what fish like?
00:14:00People say we don't have to be afraid of the fish.
00:14:03They're not really interested in us.
00:14:04You don't listen to people.
00:14:06You listen to me.
00:14:08Mom!
00:14:10Sorry, Father.
00:14:11This is my house.
00:14:13I'm wondering if I were to put those strange, my instructions.
00:14:21It's okay.
00:14:22It's okay.
00:14:23What have you done?
00:14:24What is this?
00:14:25Found it on an old drive.
00:14:27Sorry about the picture quality.
00:14:28Had to recover the data using quantum infolding and a paper clip.
00:14:35Oh, I won't bother calling your servants.
00:14:37They quit.
00:14:38Apparently, they won the lottery at exactly the same time.
00:14:41Which is a bit lucky when you think about it.
00:14:43There isn't a lottery.
00:14:44Yeah, as I say.
00:14:45Lucky.
00:14:46The fog warning tonight.
00:14:48You keep these windows closed.
00:14:50Understand?
00:14:51Closed.
00:14:53Who are you?
00:14:54Tonight.
00:14:56I'm a ghost of Christmas past.
00:14:58Mrs. Bantamardi will be looking after you tonight.
00:15:01You stay here and she can.
00:15:04You understand?
00:15:06You understand?
00:15:12Did you ever get to see a fish back then, when you were a kid?
00:15:16What does that matter to you?
00:15:19Look, how it mattered to you.
00:15:22I cried all night.
00:15:25And I learnt life's most invaluable lesson.
00:15:29Which is?
00:15:31Nobody comes.
00:15:35Get out!
00:15:36Get out of my house!
00:15:36Okay.
00:15:37Okay, but I'll be back.
00:15:40Way back!
00:15:44Way, way back.
00:16:01See?
00:16:02Back!
00:16:05Who are you?
00:16:07I'm the doctor.
00:16:08I'm your new babysitter.
00:16:10Where's Mrs. Bantamardi?
00:16:11Ah, you'll never guess clever old Mrs. Bantamardi.
00:16:13She only went and won the lottery.
00:16:15There isn't any lottery!
00:16:17There isn't any lottery.
00:16:18I know!
00:16:18What a woman!
00:16:19If you're my babysitter, why are you climbing in the window?
00:16:22Because if I was climbing out of the window, I'd be going in the wrong direction.
00:16:25Pay attention.
00:16:25But Mrs. Bantamardi's always my babysitter.
00:16:28Time's changed.
00:16:29Time's changed.
00:16:30Don't you say?
00:16:30See?
00:16:32Christmas past.
00:16:34Who are you talking to?
00:16:35You.
00:16:37Now, your past is going to change.
00:16:38That means your memories will change too.
00:16:40A bit scary, but you'll get the hang of it.
00:16:42I don't understand.
00:16:42I'll bet you don't.
00:16:44I wish I could see your face.
00:16:47That never happened.
00:16:52But it did.
00:16:54Right then, your bedroom.
00:16:56Great, let's see.
00:16:57You're 12 years old, so we'll stay away from under the bed.
00:16:59Cupboard!
00:17:00Big cupboard.
00:17:01I love a cupboard.
00:17:03Do you know, there's a thing called a face spider.
00:17:06It's just like a tiny baby's head with spider legs.
00:17:08And it's specifically evolved to scuttle up the backs of bedroom cupboards.
00:17:16Which, yeah, I probably shouldn't have mentioned.
00:17:19Right, so, what are we going to do?
00:17:22Eat crisps and talk about girls?
00:17:23I've never actually done that, but I bet it's easy.
00:17:25Girls, yeah?
00:17:26Are you really a babysitter?
00:17:28I think you'll find I'm universally recognized as a mature and responsible adult.
00:17:35It's just a lot of wavy lines.
00:17:39Yeah, shorted out.
00:17:40Finally, a lie too big.
00:17:41Okay, no, not really a babysitter, but it's Christmas Eve.
00:17:44You don't want a real one.
00:17:45You want me.
00:17:47Why?
00:17:48What's so special about you?
00:17:50Have you ever seen Mary Poppins?
00:17:51No.
00:17:52Good, because that comparison would have been rubbish.
00:17:54Fish in the fog, fish in the clouds.
00:17:56How do people ever get bored?
00:17:57How did boredom even get invented?
00:18:00My dad's invented a machine to control the cloud belt.
00:18:04Tame the sky, he says.
00:18:06The fish will be able to come down, but only when we let them.
00:18:09We can charge whatever we like.
00:18:11Yeah, I've seen your dad's machine.
00:18:15What?
00:18:15You can't have.
00:18:17Tame the sky.
00:18:19Human beings, you always manage to find the boring alternative, don't you?
00:18:23You want to see one?
00:18:24Fish?
00:18:24We can do that.
00:18:25We can see a fish.
00:18:26But aren't you going to tell me it's dangerous?
00:18:29Dangerous?
00:18:29Come on, we're boys.
00:18:31And you know what boys say in the face of danger?
00:18:34What?
00:18:35Mummy.
00:18:57Are there any face bites in here?
00:18:59Nah.
00:19:00Not at this time of night.
00:19:02They'll all be sleeping in your mattress.
00:19:04So, why are you so interested in fish?
00:19:08Because they're scary.
00:19:10Good answer.
00:19:12What kind of tie is that?
00:19:14A cool one.
00:19:15Why is it cool?
00:19:16Why are you really interested in fish?
00:19:20My school.
00:19:22During the last fob belt, when the net's broken, there was an attack.
00:19:27Loads of them.
00:19:28A whole shot.
00:19:30No one was hurt, but it was the most fish ever seen below the mountains.
00:19:35Were you scared?
00:19:37I wasn't there.
00:19:39I was off sick.
00:19:41Ooh, lucky you.
00:19:45Not lucky.
00:19:49It's all anyone ever talks about now.
00:19:52The day the fish came.
00:19:55Everyone's got a story.
00:19:58But you don't.
00:20:04I see.
00:20:06Why are you recording this?
00:20:08Do you pay attention at school, Kazren?
00:20:10Sorry, what?
00:20:11Because you're not paying attention now.
00:20:20Now I remember.
00:20:23Now, Dr. Yamas.
00:20:25Doctor, are you sure?
00:20:26Trust me.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:28Oi, eyes on the top.
00:20:29Look at me.
00:20:30I wear it and I don't care.
00:20:33Trust me?
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:37That's why it's cool.
00:20:44Come on.
00:20:54Hello, fishy.
00:20:58Let's see.
00:21:02Interesting.
00:21:05Crystalline fog, eh?
00:21:08Maybe carrying a tiny electrical charge.
00:21:12Is that how you fly, little fishy?
00:21:14What is it?
00:21:16What kind?
00:21:17Can I see?
00:21:18Just stay there a moment.
00:21:20Is it big?
00:21:21Nah.
00:21:23Just a little one.
00:21:25So, little fella, what do you eat?
00:21:32How little?
00:21:34Can I come out?
00:21:36No, no.
00:21:38Maybe just wait there for a moment.
00:21:43What colour is it?
00:21:45Big.
00:21:46Big colour.
00:21:48What's happening?
00:21:51Well, concentrating on the pluses.
00:21:52You've definitely got a story of your own.
00:21:54Also, I got a good look at the fish and I think I understand how the fog works, which is
00:21:58going to help me land the spaceship in the future and save a lot of lives.
00:22:00And I better get some very interesting readings off my sonic screwdriver when I get it back from the shark
00:22:03in your bedroom.
00:22:04There's a shark in my bedroom.
00:22:06Oh, fine.
00:22:06Focus on that.
00:22:11How's it gone?
00:22:14What's it doing?
00:22:18What do you call if you don't have any feet and you're taking a run-up?
00:22:26No!
00:22:33It's going to eat us.
00:22:35It's going to eat us.
00:22:35It's going to eat us!
00:22:37It's going to eat us!
00:22:39It's going to eat us!
00:22:39Well, maybe we're going to eat it, but I don't like the ox.
00:22:43It's stuck.
00:22:43Let's see.
00:22:44Tidy shark with me.
00:22:45And if I had my screwdriver, I could probably send a pulse and study.
00:22:47Well, where's your screwdriver?
00:22:48Well, concentrating on the pluses.
00:22:53Within reach.
00:22:54You know, there's a real chance the way it's wet in the doorway is keeping its mouth open.
00:22:57There is.
00:22:58Just agree with me, because I've only got two goes, and then it's your turn.
00:23:00Two goes?
00:23:01Two arms.
00:23:02Right, then.
00:23:03Okay.
00:23:06Over here.
00:23:07Open wide!
00:23:10What's the big fishy done to you?
00:23:13Swallowed after you, that's what.
00:23:14Half a screwdriver, what use is that?
00:23:17Bad, big fishy.
00:23:20Doctor?
00:23:22I think she's dying.
00:23:25Half my screwdriver's still inside.
00:23:28But yeah, I think so.
00:23:30I doubt they can survive long outside the cloud.
00:23:32They'll just quit raiding trips on a...
00:23:35...foggy night.
00:23:36...foggy night.
00:23:39Can't we get it back up there?
00:23:41We're just gonna stun it.
00:23:42I didn't want to kill it.
00:23:44She was trying to eat you.
00:23:49She was hungry.
00:23:52I'm sorry, Kazran.
00:23:54I can't save her.
00:23:56I could take her back up there, but she never survived the trip.
00:24:01We need a fully functioning life support.
00:24:04You mean like an icebox?
00:24:06Okay.
00:24:13Oh, drink. Oh, drink.
00:24:32What is this?
00:24:33The surplus population.
00:24:35That's what my dad calls it.
00:24:38Oh, it's not turning.
00:24:39I want to turn.
00:24:42What's the number?
00:24:447258.
00:24:45I don't know.
00:24:46The place is full of alarms.
00:24:47It's not just the door. I need the number.
00:24:517258.
00:24:52I need the number.
00:24:53I'm not allowed to know until I'm older.
00:24:557258.
00:24:56Just what I was after.
00:25:037258.
00:25:057258.
00:25:14Ah, there's fish down here, too.
00:25:16Yeah, but only tiny ones.
00:25:18The house is built on a fog lake.
00:25:20That's how dad freezes the people.
00:25:22They're all full, but we could borrow one.
00:25:25Yeah, this one.
00:25:30Hello again.
00:25:32You know her.
00:25:34Why?
00:25:39Important, is she?
00:25:41She won't mind.
00:25:43She loves the fish.
00:25:45My name is Abigail Pettigrew, and I'm very grateful for Mr. Sardik's kindness.
00:25:50She starts to talk about the fish for a minute.
00:25:53But I would not allow it.
00:25:55And I could not have chosen this path were it not for the compassion and generosity of the great philanthropist
00:26:02and patron of the poor, Mr. Elliot Sardik.
00:26:05But I'm also surrounded by the fish.
00:26:08The beautiful, iridescent, magical fish.
00:26:12Why are these people here?
00:26:16What's all this for?
00:26:19My dad lends money.
00:26:21He always takes a family member as he calls it security.
00:26:27Hard man to love your dad.
00:26:30I suppose you know that.
00:26:33I am not alone.
00:26:34And I am at peace.
00:26:39What's wrong?
00:26:42Just my half a screwdriver trying to repair itself.
00:26:45It's signalling the other half.
00:26:52But the other half's inside the shop.
00:26:54Yeah?
00:26:56Sounds like she's woken up.
00:26:59Okay.
00:27:00So it's hanging on the screwdriver.
00:27:07Run!
00:27:19Run!
00:27:31Okay.
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:44Okay.
00:27:45In the wicked winter, frosty wind made moan.
00:27:57Earth stood hard as I am, o'er to life a stone.
00:28:10Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow.
00:28:24In the wicked winter, frosty wind made moan.
00:28:40It's not really the singing, of course.
00:28:43Yes, it is.
00:28:44Nah.
00:28:45The fish love the singing, it's true.
00:28:46Nah.
00:28:47The notes resonate in the ice crystals, causing a delta wave pattern in the fog.
00:28:50Ow!
00:28:51Fish bit me.
00:28:52Shut up, then.
00:28:56Of course.
00:28:57That's how the machine controls the cloud belt.
00:28:59The clouds are ice crystals.
00:29:00If you could vibrate the crystals at exactly the right frequency,
00:29:02you could align them into...
00:29:03Ow!
00:29:03Why do they keep biting?
00:29:04Look, the fish like the singing, okay?
00:29:06Now, shut up!
00:29:07I'll be in the winter, fall down before.
00:29:18The ox and ass and camel reach at home.
00:29:41It's bigger on the inside.
00:29:43Yeah, it's in colour.
00:29:44It really looks at the walls back.
00:29:46Shark in a box to go.
00:29:52Abateo.
00:29:54This is amazing.
00:29:57Nah, this is transport.
00:29:59I keep amazing.
00:30:04Out here.
00:30:33Come on, men.
00:30:34Let's get this shot.
00:30:35Come on, Calvary.
00:30:56Hey! Look at her go!
00:31:07Abigail, this number, what does it mean?
00:31:10It pertains to me, sir, not to fish.
00:31:12Yeah, but how?
00:31:14You are a doctor, you say? Are you one of mine?
00:31:19Do you need a doctor?
00:31:23Ah! Sorry! Time's up, kids!
00:31:25Why?
00:31:26It's nearly Christmas Day!
00:31:30If you should ever wish to visit again.
00:31:33Well, you know, if I'm ever in the neighbourhood...
00:31:35...he comes every Christmas Eve.
00:31:36What?
00:31:37Yeah, he does. Every time. He promises.
00:31:39No, I don't...
00:31:42Merry Christmas!
00:31:43Doctor!
00:31:45What are we gonna do?
00:31:46The doctor's got a great plan. Wait till he's dead.
00:31:56You are out of your mind. This will never work.
00:31:59Oh! Don't think shark. Think dolphin.
00:32:01A shark isn't a dolphin.
00:32:03It's nearly a dolphin.
00:32:03No, it isn't.
00:32:04But that's where you're wrong, because...
00:32:06Shut up.
00:32:07It could be anywhere.
00:32:09Will it really come?
00:32:10No chance. Completely impossible.
00:32:17Except at Christmas.
00:32:25How are we gonna get back?
00:32:26I don't know!
00:32:27Do you have a plan?
00:32:28Have a plan!
00:32:30Let's go.
00:32:35Take care.
00:32:36All you cried.
00:32:37Hey!
00:32:42Okay, man.
00:33:17Best Christmas Eve ever.
00:33:19Till the next one.
00:33:30New memories?
00:33:32How can I have new memories?
00:33:35Merry Christmas!
00:33:37Doctor!
00:33:38Where to this time?
00:33:39Did I mention at any point?
00:33:40All of time and space.
00:33:44Merry Christmas!
00:33:46Doctor!
00:33:54Merry Christmas!
00:33:55Doctor!
00:34:06Merry Christmas!
00:34:08That's right.
00:34:17You've grown.
00:34:19Yeah.
00:34:21And now you're blushing.
00:34:24Sorry.
00:34:25That's okay.
00:34:27So, Doctor.
00:34:29Where this time?
00:34:30Pick a Christmas Eve.
00:34:31I've got them all right here.
00:34:32Mind I make a request?
00:34:35Of course.
00:34:37This one.
00:34:47Thank you, darling.
00:34:52Who are they?
00:34:53They're family.
00:34:55The lady's her sister.
00:34:56I met her once when she was...
00:34:58Older.
00:35:00Dad!
00:35:04Abigail's crying.
00:35:07Yes.
00:35:10When girls are crying, are you supposed to talk to them?
00:35:15I have absolutely no idea.
00:35:18I have absolutely no idea.
00:35:32My sister's family.
00:35:34They're so happy.
00:35:37They look very poor.
00:35:39They are very poor.
00:35:40Doesn't mean you can't be happy.
00:35:43And then why aren't you?
00:35:50Because this is the life I could never have.
00:35:53Why not?
00:36:01I think you're blushing again.
00:36:06Come in.
00:36:10Pick a car.
00:36:11Any car to talk.
00:36:12Every Christmas Eve.
00:36:14I don't understand.
00:36:15I'm not sure I do.
00:36:16You memorise the card, you put it back in the deck.
00:36:18Don't let me see it.
00:36:20Is this what it looked like last year?
00:36:22It doesn't have to be exactly the same.
00:36:25I'm starting again.
00:36:27Come on, Kazran.
00:36:28We're starting again.
00:36:29That's Sardex's boy, isn't it?
00:36:31He's not like his father.
00:36:32His father treats everyone like cattle.
00:36:35One day that boy will do the same.
00:36:37No.
00:36:38He's different.
00:36:39Three of clubs.
00:36:41No.
00:36:42Are you sure?
00:36:43Because I'm very good at card tricks.
00:36:44It wasn't the three of clubs.
00:36:46Well, of course it wasn't.
00:36:46Because it was the seven of diamonds.
00:36:49No.
00:36:50Oi, stop it.
00:36:50You're doing it wrong.
00:36:52I see him around the town sometimes.
00:36:54Never any friends.
00:36:55He's got me.
00:36:56All those Christmas Eve's.
00:36:58He never once came to see us.
00:37:00I'm here now.
00:37:01Then stay.
00:37:02Stay for tomorrow.
00:37:03Have Christmas dinner with us.
00:37:05I can't.
00:37:07Well then.
00:37:10Tomorrow's Christmas dinner is cancelled as my sister refuses to attend.
00:37:14Is it dinner?
00:37:14Instead, we'll have it tonight.
00:37:18Three, two, one, go!
00:37:21Yay!
00:37:25How did you do that?
00:37:28Your car, I believe.
00:37:31No.
00:37:32Oh, shut up.
00:37:37Merry Christmas.
00:37:39Merry, Merry Christmas.
00:37:40Merry Christmas.
00:37:49Best Christmas Eve ever.
00:37:51Ah.
00:37:52Till the next one.
00:37:52I look forward to it.
00:37:54Now I'd like to say goodnight to Kataran.
00:37:56Of course, yes.
00:37:59Well, on you go.
00:38:01Oh.
00:38:02Oh.
00:38:03Yes.
00:38:04Right.
00:38:04Sorry.
00:38:05I'll go then.
00:38:07Goodnight.
00:38:08Good luck.
00:38:09Night.
00:38:10Goodnight.
00:38:13Sorry.
00:38:17Doctor.
00:38:18I, uh, I think she's going to kiss me.
00:38:21Yeah.
00:38:22I think you're right.
00:38:26I've never kissed anyone before.
00:38:29What do I do?
00:38:29Well, try and be all nervous and rubbish and a bit shaky.
00:38:33Why?
00:38:34Because you're going to be like that anyway.
00:38:35Might as well make it part of the plan.
00:38:36Then it will feel on purpose.
00:38:37Off you go then.
00:38:38Now.
00:38:39I kiss her now.
00:38:40Kataran, trust me.
00:38:41It's this.
00:38:42Or go to your room and design a new kind of screwdriver.
00:38:44Don't make my mistakes.
00:38:45Now.
00:38:45Go.
00:38:50Go.
00:38:52Go.
00:38:58Go.
00:38:58Go.
00:38:59Go.
00:39:02Go.
00:39:06Go.
00:39:07Go.
00:39:07Go.
00:39:09Go.
00:39:11Go.
00:39:12I'm sorry.
00:39:25Oh, there you go.
00:39:30All right, get ready, come on, get ready, come on.
00:39:34You're welcome.
00:39:36I'll check it out.
00:39:37I'll check it out.
00:39:41Abigail, are you coming back?
00:39:43The doctor is gonna do a duet with Frank.
00:39:48Abigail.
00:39:52What's wrong?
00:39:55I have something to tell you.
00:39:59A bad thing?
00:40:02A very bad thing.
00:40:06Well, what is it?
00:40:12The truth?
00:40:16Guys, we've really got to go quite quickly.
00:40:19I just accidentally got engaged to Marilyn Monroe.
00:40:23How do you keep going like that?
00:40:28Do you breathe out your ears?
00:40:29Hello? Sorry.
00:40:31Hello, guys.
00:40:32She's phoned a chapel.
00:40:34There's a car outside.
00:40:35This is happening now.
00:40:37Yoo-hoo!
00:40:38Yoo-hoo.
00:40:40Right.
00:40:41Fine, thank you.
00:40:42I'll just go and get married then, shall I?
00:40:44See how you like that.
00:40:47Marilyn!
00:40:48Get your coat!
00:40:53What are we gonna do?
00:40:55There is nothing to be done.
00:40:57There is nothing to be done.
00:41:07Good night, Abigail.
00:41:11Good night, Kazran.
00:41:33There we go.
00:41:34Another day, another Christmas Eve.
00:41:36I'll see you in a minute, eh?
00:41:38I mean, a year.
00:41:39Doctor!
00:41:42Listen, why don't we leave it?
00:41:44Sorry.
00:41:44Leave what?
00:41:45Oh, you know.
00:41:46This.
00:41:47Every Christmas Eve is getting a bit old.
00:41:50Old?
00:41:52Well, Christmas is for kids, isn't it?
00:41:55I've got some work.
00:41:56I've got some work with my dad now.
00:41:57I'm gonna focus on that.
00:41:59Get that clout, but under control.
00:42:02Sorry.
00:42:03I didn't realize I was boring you.
00:42:05Not your fault.
00:42:07Times change.
00:42:11Not as much as I'd hoped.
00:42:14Kazran.
00:42:19I'll be needing a new one anyway.
00:42:21What the hell?
00:42:24Merry Christmas.
00:42:26And if you ever need me, just activate it, aren't you?
00:42:28I won't need you.
00:42:33What's happened?
00:42:34What are you not telling me?
00:42:41What about Abigail?
00:42:43I know where to find her.
00:43:15Another Christmas Eve, Kazran.
00:43:18But a very special one.
00:43:20It's complete.
00:43:22Look at it.
00:43:23Sound waves.
00:43:24It's as simple as that.
00:43:26We can control the clouds, the fog, the fish.
00:43:30Why do we want to control the fish?
00:43:32People are cattle.
00:43:33If you want to control cattle, you need to control their predators.
00:43:37What's the face for?
00:43:39Look what I'm giving you.
00:43:41The sky.
00:43:43And everything beneath it.
00:43:46Only you and I can control this.
00:43:48This planet is ours.
00:43:52Excuse me, Father.
00:44:14You are a little star.
00:44:16You are out there for a while.
00:44:22The sky is now in the sky.
00:44:36Another skull!
00:44:37You are on the sky.
00:44:37The sky is who is gone.
00:44:38It's a light.
00:44:38You put a light.
00:44:38So you're not the light.
00:44:39You are on the sky.
00:44:40The sky is the sun.
00:44:40The sky is on the sky.
00:44:59Yes, what?
00:45:01Oh, Mr. President, we've been through this.
00:45:05It's not going to crash on my house, and what's it got to do with me?
00:45:09Yes, I know.
00:45:10Four thousand and three.
00:45:12There's a very old friend of mine who once took a very long time to explain.
00:45:16Life isn't fair.
00:45:30Hello.
00:45:32Who are you? What are you doing here?
00:45:33You didn't think this was over, did you?
00:45:35I'm the ghost of Christmas present.
00:45:37A ghost?
00:45:38Just like that.
00:45:41Eyes off the skirt.
00:45:44You turned into a Roman.
00:45:45Yeah, yeah, I do that.
00:45:47I also do this.
00:45:49Do what?
00:45:50What are you talking about?
00:45:51All is time.
00:46:03All is light.
00:46:07All is light.
00:46:08All is light.
00:46:14All is light.
00:46:24Christ the Savior is born.
00:46:31Christ the Savior is born.
00:46:35Sir Holograms, rejections like me.
00:46:38Who are they?
00:46:39The people on the ship up there.
00:46:40The ones that you're going to let die tonight.
00:46:44Why are they singing?
00:46:46For their lives.
00:46:50Which one's Abigail?
00:46:52The doctor told me.
00:46:54Did he now?
00:46:55Well, he doesn't hold back.
00:46:56You know the doctor.
00:46:57How do I?
00:46:57I've never met him before tonight.
00:46:59I seem to have known him all my life.
00:47:01How?
00:47:02Why?
00:47:02You're the only person who can let that ship land.
00:47:05He was trying to turn you into a nicer person.
00:47:09And he was trying to do it nicely.
00:47:12He's changed my past my whole life.
00:47:15Time can be rewritten.
00:47:16You tell the doctor.
00:47:18Tell him from me.
00:47:19People can't.
00:47:30That's Abigail.
00:47:32I would never have known her if the doctor hadn't changed the course of my whole life to suit himself.
00:47:37Well, that's good, isn't it?
00:47:39No.
00:47:42Why is she still in there?
00:47:43You could let her out any time.
00:47:44Oh, yeah.
00:47:46Any time at all.
00:47:47Any time I choose.
00:47:50Then why don't you?
00:47:53This is what the doctor did to me.
00:47:56Abigail was ill when she went into the ice on the point of death.
00:48:01I suppose the rest of the ice helped her, but she's used up her time on those Christmas
00:48:09eves with me.
00:48:12I could release her any time I want, and she would live a single day.
00:48:21So tell me, ghost of Christmas present, how do I choose which day?
00:48:28I'm sorry.
00:48:30I really am.
00:48:31I'm very, very sorry, but you know what, she's got more time left than I have, more than
00:48:37anyone on this ship.
00:48:38Good.
00:48:39Rory, why did the beam?
00:48:46Data's update on engine 1.
00:48:48How did I get here?
00:48:49You didn't.
00:48:50It's your turn to be the hologram.
00:48:52Since you're going to let a lot of people die tonight, I thought you might like to see
00:48:55where it's all going to happen.
00:48:57The scene?
00:48:59What is it?
00:49:01I don't understand.
00:49:03It's the doctor's idea.
00:49:04The harmonies resonate in the ice crystals.
00:49:05That's why the fish like it.
00:49:08He thought that maybe it would stabilize the ship, but it isn't working.
00:49:12It's not powerful enough.
00:49:13Why are they still singing then?
00:49:15Because we haven't told them.
00:49:18Sir, I understand you have a machine that controls this cloud layer.
00:49:22If you can release us from it, we still have time to make a landing.
00:49:26Nobody has to die.
00:49:27Everybody has to die.
00:49:29Not tonight.
00:49:30Tonight's as good as any other night.
00:49:33How do you choose?
00:49:36Doctor?
00:49:37Yeah?
00:49:37Are you hearing this?
00:49:39I can hear.
00:49:39He's here.
00:49:40Where is he?
00:49:42Doctor!
00:49:43Doctor!
00:49:46I'm sorry.
00:49:49I didn't realize.
00:49:50All my life I've been called heartless.
00:49:53My other life, my real life, the one you rewrote.
00:49:56Now look at me.
00:49:59Better a broken heart than no heart at all.
00:50:02You try it.
00:50:02You try it.
00:50:06Why are you here?
00:50:07Because I'm not finished with you yet.
00:50:09You've seen the past, the present.
00:50:14And now you need to see the future.
00:50:16Fine.
00:50:16Do it.
00:50:17Show me.
00:50:17I'll die cold, alone, and afraid.
00:50:20Of course I will.
00:50:21We all do.
00:50:22What difference does showing me make?
00:50:25Do you know why I'm gonna let those people die?
00:50:28Not a plan.
00:50:30I don't get anything from it.
00:50:32It's just that I don't care.
00:50:34I'm not like you.
00:50:35I don't even want to be like you.
00:50:37I don't and never ever will care.
00:50:44And I don't believe that.
00:50:46Then show me the future.
00:50:48Prove me wrong.
00:50:49I am showing it to you.
00:50:50I'm showing it to you right now.
00:50:54So what do you think?
00:51:01Is this who you want to become, Kazra?
00:51:05No.
00:51:08No.
00:51:14No.
00:51:16No.
00:51:17Yeah, no.
00:51:20No.
00:51:21It's ours.
00:51:23No.
00:51:33No.
00:51:34No.
00:51:34No.
00:51:39I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
00:51:41It's okay. Don't be fine.
00:51:47I'm... I'm so, so... sorry.
00:51:56Catch her.
00:52:02We don't have much time.
00:52:07Integrity of 30%.
00:52:08We have five minutes, Max. We need to land.
00:52:13Hello? Hello? Ah, hello, everyone.
00:52:16Uh, where to log onto my signal?
00:52:18Doctor, what's happening?
00:52:19I just saved Christmas. Don't go away.
00:52:22Doctor?
00:52:23Doctor!
00:52:24We good to go, then?
00:52:25The controls, they won't respond.
00:52:27Of course, they will. There are some morphine.
00:52:28They're tuned to a brainwaves that only respond to you.
00:52:30You respond.
00:52:31Well, it just makes sense. That's ridiculous.
00:52:33That's why we...
00:52:37Oh.
00:52:39Oh, of course. Stupid, stupid doctor.
00:52:43What's wrong? Tell me what is it? What?
00:52:45It's you.
00:52:46It's you. I've changed you too much. The machine doesn't recognise you.
00:52:48But no, my father would programme.
00:52:50No, your father would never have programmed it for the man you are now.
00:52:54Then what do we do?
00:52:57Um...
00:52:58Um...
00:52:58I don't know. I don't know.
00:52:59There must be something.
00:53:01Well...
00:53:01This. You can use this. I kept it, see?
00:53:03What? Half a screwdriver?
00:53:08With the other half up in the sky in a big old shark, right in the heart of the cloud
00:53:12layer.
00:53:13If we use your aerial to boost the signal, and set up a resonation pattern between the two halves...
00:53:18Ooh, come on. That would work.
00:53:19My screwdriver, coolest bit of kit on this planet. Coolest two bits. It could do it.
00:53:23Do what?
00:53:23Well, my screwdriver is still trying to repair its signalling itself.
00:53:26We use the signal, but we send something else.
00:53:29Send what?
00:53:31Well, what?
00:53:37I'm sorry, Kazran.
00:53:39I truly am.
00:53:40Don't understand.
00:53:42We need to transmit something into the cloud belt. Something we know works.
00:53:48We need her to sing.
00:53:54Her voice resonates perfectly with the ice crystals. It calms the shark. It will calm the sky, too.
00:54:00Could you do it?
00:54:02Could you do this?
00:54:05Think about it, Doctor.
00:54:07One last day with your beloved.
00:54:09Which day would you choose?
00:54:14Christmas.
00:54:16Christmas Day.
00:54:18Look at you.
00:54:20You're so old now.
00:54:23I think you waited a bit too long, didn't you?
00:54:26I'm sure.
00:54:26Hoarding my days like an old miser.
00:54:31But...
00:54:32If you leave the ice now...
00:54:34We've had so many Christmas Eve's, Kazran.
00:54:36I think it's time for Christmas Day.
00:54:41Doctor!
00:54:43We can't hold this!
00:54:44Time's up! We're going down!
00:54:46Dad!
00:54:52Captain, I've got...
00:54:53I've got a wall I've got.
00:54:56What is that? What are you listening to?
00:54:58This is coming from outside.
00:55:00This is coming from the actual clouds.
00:55:13It's coming from outside.
00:55:15It's coming from outside.
00:55:20When you're alone...
00:55:24...the silence is all you know.
00:55:31Well, well, the singing resonates in the crystals.
00:55:35It's feeding back and forth between the two halves of the screwdriver now.
00:55:38One song filling the sky.
00:55:40The crystals will align and I'll feed in a controlled phase loop,
00:55:43and the clouds will unlock.
00:55:44What does that mean, unlock?
00:55:46What happens when a cloud unlocks?
00:55:48Something that hasn't happened in this town for a very long time now.
00:55:53When you're alone
00:55:58Silence is all you'll see
00:56:07When you're alone
00:56:12Silence is all you'll be
00:56:24Give me your hand again
00:56:29We're flying normally.
00:56:31Can you land?
00:56:32I can even land well.
00:56:37Oh, he did it. The doctor did it.
00:56:40Yeah, he gets all the credit.
00:56:43Which is actually fair enough if you think about it.
00:57:02When you are here, music is all alright.
00:57:15When you are near, music is all alright.
00:57:27When you are near, music is all alright.
00:57:42Hello, my old friend.
00:57:46Bait in the shadow
00:57:50Yes, kid.
00:57:51Bait in the shadow
00:57:56Bait in the light of your bright shadows
00:58:25You know, that could almost be mistaken for a real person.
00:58:29Snowman isn't bad either.
00:58:30Ah, yes, you two. About time. Why are you dressed like that?
00:58:33Uh, I kind of lost a luggage.
00:58:36Kind of crash landed.
00:58:37Yeah, but why aren't you dressed like that at all?
00:58:39They, uh, they really love their snowmen around here, don't they?
00:58:42I've kind of got 20.
00:58:43Yeah, I've been busy.
00:58:44Yeah.
00:58:45Yeah, yeah.
00:58:49Pleasure, right? Come on then, let's go.
00:58:51Uh, got any more honeymoon ideas?
00:58:54Well, there's a moon that's made of actual honey.
00:58:56Well, not actual honey.
00:58:57And it's not actually a moon.
00:58:59And technically it's alive.
00:59:00And a bit carnivorous.
00:59:01But there are some lovely views.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:05Great, thanks.
00:59:07Are you?
00:59:08Are you okay?
00:59:09Of course I'm okay. You?
00:59:11Of course.
00:59:13It'll be their last day together, won't it?
00:59:18Everything's got to end summed.
00:59:19Otherwise nothing would ever get stuck.
00:59:22Ah, your phone was ringing.
00:59:24Someone called Marilyn.
00:59:26Actually sounds like THE Marilyn.
00:59:28Doctor.
00:59:29Tell her I'll phone her back.
00:59:30And that was never a real...
00:59:32chapel.
00:59:36Where are they?
00:59:37The guys around in Abigail.
00:59:38Off on a little trip, I should think.
00:59:40Where?
00:59:40Christmas.
00:59:41Christmas?
00:59:42Yeah.
00:59:44Christmas.
00:59:51Halfway out of the dark.
01:00:18Go behind the scenes of this year's Christmas special in Doctor Who Confidential over on BBC3 now.
01:00:24While next here on BBC1, famous faces putting their best feet forward in a festive Strictly.
01:00:43Where is the Doctor?
01:00:45I've been running.
01:00:47Faster than I've ever run.
01:00:49Now it's time for me to stop.
01:00:52I'm going to need a SWAT team ready to mobilize.
01:00:54Street level maps covering all of Florida.
01:00:55A pot of coffee, twelve jammy Dodgers and a fez.
01:00:59Somewhere different, somewhere brand new.
01:01:03I wear a Stetson now.
01:01:05Stetsons are cool.
01:01:07We've been recruited.
01:01:09Recruited by who?
01:01:11You're going to have to trust us this time.
01:01:13You have to do this and you can't ask why.
01:01:25My life in your hands.
01:01:27Amelia Bond.
01:01:29You see these eyes?
01:01:31They're old eyes.
01:01:33And one thing I can tell you.
01:01:37Monsters are real.
01:01:39Is the End of the Daylog.
01:01:41This design judge of the Department of Bash
