TENT, MOUNTAINSIDE (In a tent, a man, dressed in climbing clothes, lies sleeping in a sleeping-bag.) JOHN: Aahh! (This wakes the man from his sleep. TRAVERS looks at the other bunk in the tent. It is empty.) TRAVERS: John? (He goes outside the tent, grabbing his rifle as he does so.) TRAVERS: John, where are you? JOHN: (Yelling.) Aahh! Aahh!

JAMIE: Oh, what's so marvellous about that? DOCTOR: Well don't you see, Jamie, its the Himalayas! And I do believe we're in exactly the right... now wait a minute. JAMIE: The Hima - what? DOCTOR: Shh, Shh. (VICTORIA decides to help JAMIE with the location.) VICTORIA: The Himalayas, Jamie. They're mountains. JAMIE: Aye I can see that. Hey is it the Earth, Doctor? I don't fancy another tangle down the Cybermen's tomb. DOCTOR: No, no. Shh, Jamie, Shh! Yes of course it's the Earth. Yes...yes I think I'm right... yes... JAMIE: Where are these mountains? VICTORIA: Don't
