00:00:05.440 seconds
In black and white, a crack of light blooms into a swirling cloud of light.
2
00:00:03.649 seconds
The strange patterns ripple outwards and rush overhead in waves.
3
00:00:03.870 seconds
A large clot of symmetric light bleeds away forming words ...
4
00:00:02.707 seconds
"DOCTOR WHO".
5
00:00:03.740 seconds
The words recede into the maelstrom of rippling light.
6
00:00:06.547 seconds
In grainy black and white. On a misty night, a patrolling policeman with a tall helmet ambles along a lane, shining his torch.
7
00:00:04.530 seconds
He turns toward a pair of large double yard-doors with writing.
8
00:00:04.880 seconds
The pavement outside is dirty, and littered with rubbish.
9
00:00:03.000 seconds
The doors read: I.M Foreman.
10
00:00:03.000 seconds
Scrap Merchant. 76 Totter's lane.
11
00:00:03.000 seconds
The doors swing open as our view moves inside.
12
00:00:08.780 seconds
A gloomy yard with brick walls. There are piles of old furniture. A pram with large wheels sits by itself. Wooden stairs lead upwards to an office.
13
00:00:09.220 seconds
Near the stairs, nestled among the junk, stands a police box. It is like a tall wardrobe, large enough for two or three people to stand inside. The doors have two vertical rows of inset panels.
14
00:00:04.050 seconds
The upper two panels of each door are frosted-glass windows.
15
00:00:03.000 seconds
Above the doors is a thin panel that reads "Police Box".
16
00:00:03.000 seconds
Words appear. "An Unearthly Child".
17
00:00:03.000 seconds
Written by Anthony Coburn.
18
00:00:03.000 seconds
The panel under the left window has writing on it.
19
00:00:09.700 seconds
"Police Telephone. Free for use of Public. Advice and Assistance Available Immediately. Officers and Cars Respond to all calls. Pull to Open."
20
00:00:06.130 seconds
A corridor in a secondary school. Young men and women in 60s fashions leave a class.
21
00:00:03.000 seconds
Two students trade a whisper and one smiles.
22
00:00:06.020 seconds
[FAST-ish] The teacher, a woman in a double-breasted women's suit and dark hair swept up into a voluminous bob goes to a science lab.
23
00:00:07.080 seconds
Susan, elfin, with short dark hair, sways to the music on a transistor radio she holds near her ear.
24
00:00:03.000 seconds
Barbara and Ian leave.
25
00:00:07.470 seconds
Susan absently moves through the empty class-room. She is wearing a grey, form-fitting woollen dress with a thin black collar, and loose black belt.
26
00:00:05.540 seconds
She sits on the side of a desk, and spatters ink from an inkwell onto a loose sheet of paper.
27
00:00:03.000 seconds
She does this several times, building up a constellation of ink dots.
28
00:00:03.000 seconds
She folds the paper in half.
29
00:00:03.000 seconds
She opens it out into a symmetrical ink-blot pattern
30
00:00:05.030 seconds
She elaborates the design with several strokes that form a hexagon.
31
00:00:03.220 seconds
Barbara and Ian wait in his car in Totter's lane.
32
00:00:01.290 seconds
Flashback: the classroom.
33
00:00:02.000 seconds
Susan looks around uncomfortably.
34
00:00:02.450 seconds
Susan slips into the scrap yard.
35
00:00:05.909 seconds
Susan, tense, looks around the junk yard. A shop dummy with a caved in head seems to watch her.
36
00:00:01.020 seconds
The car.
37
00:00:03.000 seconds
Ian stops in front of the large doors.
38
00:00:03.000 seconds
He pushes them open and they step inside.
39
00:00:05.950 seconds
Ian has a pen-torch. They slowly and carefully look around the vases [PRN: Varses], old candlesticks and other junk.
40
00:00:01.700 seconds
Ian stumbles.
41
00:00:02.360 seconds
They look around in the dark.
42
00:00:05.500 seconds
Ian's attention is caught by a grotesque theatre mask caught in a patch of moonlight.
43
00:00:02.000 seconds
Barbara examines the Police Box.
44
00:00:03.880 seconds
Ian examines the side, and disappears behind the box.
45
00:00:05.260 seconds
Barbara holds her coat closed against the cold. Ian re-appears from the other side
46
00:00:02.000 seconds
They hide behind the wooden stairs.
47
00:00:03.790 seconds
It's an old man with long white hair, a scarf and an Astrakhan woollen hat.
48
00:00:03.000 seconds
He stops at the Police Box and presses the shiny brass lock.
49
00:00:03.000 seconds
The old man looks around, then opens the police box a crack.
50
00:00:04.060 seconds
He closes it again as Ian emerges from hiding.
51
00:00:02.510 seconds
The man stalks away to the stairs.
52
00:00:02.000 seconds
The door opens.
53
00:00:04.000 seconds
Barbara enters and is stunned to find herself in a spacious, brightly lit room.
54
00:00:04.000 seconds
Barbara looks around. The walls are decorated with hexagonally packed roundels.
55
00:00:04.000 seconds
Susan stands next to a hexagonal table-like console
56
00:00:04.000 seconds
Ian enters. The rooms is sparsely decorated with antique furniture.
57
00:00:04.040 seconds
The large internal double doors are closed. Barbara and Ian push against them.
58
00:00:04.930 seconds
Ian confronts the old man, looming over him. Then he stalks over to Susan.
59
00:00:01.510 seconds
[FAST] He darts to the console.
60
00:00:02.000 seconds
The old man touches a control.
61
00:00:02.000 seconds
Shocked, Ian falls.
62
00:00:02.000 seconds
[FAST] Susan's Grandfather operates a control.
63
00:00:02.000 seconds
Ian tackles him.
64
00:00:05.320 seconds
They all struggle. The lights flash. A transparent cylinder in the centre of the console rises and falls.
65
00:00:04.000 seconds
A television mounted on the wall shows the lights of London receding.
66
00:00:05.480 seconds
An abstract crack of light blooms, radiating swirling patterns.
67
00:00:04.770 seconds
The strange patterns play over Susan's face as she stares forward.
68
00:00:04.800 seconds
The bleeding, shifting lights blur Susan's Grandfather's face.
69
00:00:05.090 seconds
The lights form a whirling, spinning vortex.
70
00:00:03.620 seconds
A barren landscape, sandy, interrupted by low hills.
71
00:00:04.850 seconds
Inside the TARDIS, Susan and her Grandfather are silent, almost trance like.
72
00:00:06.150 seconds
Ian lays on the floor, unconscious; and Barbara is slumped in an elaborate, high backed chair.
73
00:00:05.880 seconds
The Police Box shape of the TARDIS stands at a slight angle on the rocky landscape, a skeletal tree in the foreground.
74
00:00:03.000 seconds
The shadow of a man moving warily falls on the ground.
