TEXT: Frontios by Christopher H. Bidmead Part Two 6:40pm - 7:05pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1, EXT: FRONTIOS (The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are sheltering from the bombardment.) TEGAN: It's getting lighter. DOCTOR: The attacks nearly over. Let's get out of here. Come on - the TARDIS. (They get up and move out of their shelter, and all walk very slowly over to where the TARDIS was.) TEGAN: The TARDIS - what's happened?! (All that seems to be still remaining of the TARDIS is the hat-stand. It stands alone amongst a pile of rubble.) TURLOUGH: It's gone. (The Doctor goes over and touches the hat-stand.) DOCTOR: The TARDIS has been destroyed... TEGAN: The TARDIS can't just...disintegrate! TURLOUGH: I'm afraid it has. (The Doctor turns around to see Plantagenet, Brazen and lots of Orderlies coming towards them. One Orderly points a gun at them. The Doctor has simply had enough and he snaps.) DOCTOR: Oh marvellous! You're going to kill me! What a finely tuned response to the situation! BRAZEN: Best to dispatch him now! (Norna runs in front of the gun.) NORNA: Wait! PLANTAGENET: GET OUT OF THE WAY! DOCTOR: Be careful Norna. NORNA: Why did Captain Revere dedicate the whole of his life to analysing the rocks of Frontios? BRAZEN: Remove her. PLANTAGENET: No, wait. Why do you ask when the reason is well known? My father sought the precious minerals beneath the soil. NORNA: What precious minerals? Did he find any? PLANTAGENET: He knew there must be some reason for the perpetual carnage our neighbours inflict upon us. NORNA: Well, if the Doctor is an invader, he has the answer to that question. (Range walks up, worried about his daughter.
SUMMARY:
