TEXT: THE CITY OF DEATH By David Agnew (alias Douglas Adams with Graham Williams) (From a story line by David Fisher) First shown 29th September, 1979 Running time: 24:25 [SCENE_BREAK] 1. A planet (On a bare rocky planet sits a large grey spaceship. Four long legs hold it high above the ground. Inside sits a humanoid figure, but it has one eye in the middle of its forehead and has a head which looks as if it is covered in masses of green-coloured string. This is SCAROTH.) VOICE: Mighty Solex to warp thrust. SCAROTH: Confirmed. VOICE: Thrust against planet's surface set to power three? SCAROTH: Negative, power three too severe. VOICE: Scaroth, it must be power three. It must be. SCAROTH: Warp thrust from planet's surface is untested and power there is suicide. Advised. VOICE: The Jagaroth are in your hands. Without secondary drive we must use our main warp thrust. You know this, Scaroth. It is our only hope. You are our only hope. SCAROTH: And I am the only one directly in warp field. I know the dangers. VOICE: Three, two, one... SCAROTH: What will happen if... VOICE: Full power! (The middle of the spaceship starts turning as the space craft slowly starts to rise. The legs start to fold into the centre. Then it starts to shake and glow.) VOICE: Scaroth! The fate of the Jagaroth is with you! Scaroth! Scaroth! You are our only hope! Our only hope! Scaroth! Scaroth! Scaroth! (With a small bang, the spaceship explodes in a shower of light.) [SCENE_BREAK] 2. The Eifel Tower, Paris (THE DOCTOR and his companion ROMANA stand on the top of the Eifel Tower in Paris looking down at view below.) DOCTOR: (OOV) Nice, isn't it? ROMANA: (OOV) Yes
SUMMARY:
While the Doctor is exploring and showing the sights of Paris to Romana, they encounter what seems to be a blip in time. He then takes Romana to see the Mona Lisa and discovers a woman with Jewlery that seems out of place.
