TEXT: THE CELESTIAL TOYMAKER by BRIAN HAYLES and GERRY DAVIS first broadcast - 9th April 1966 running time - 24mins 45secs [SCENE_BREAK] 1. INSIDE THE TOYROOM (STEVEN and DODO have defeated CLARA and JOEY. At the far end of the toyroom, one of the walls lights up and a police box appears. They cautiously move across the room and examine it only to discover that it is not the real TARDIS.) DODO: (With disbelief.) It can't be empty! STEVEN: It is. Look. (Just the square outline of an empty police telephone box is inside.) DODO: What's that? (DODO bends down and picks up a piece of paper from the floor and reads it.) DODO: "Four legs, no feet, of arms no lack, it carries no burden on its back. Six deadly sisters, seven for choice, call the servants without voice." What does it mean? STEVEN: A riddle. Look, here's a way out. (The back of the police box swings open.) DODO: Perhaps this is to tell us where the TARDIS is. STEVEN: (Shrugging.) Or perhaps it's just another game. Anyway, we've got to find out. (STEVEN goes through the opening. DODO remains behind and looks back at the two clowns. All she sees are two, small, twisted clown figures, now the size of dolls. Shocked, she turns and runs quickly after STEVEN.) DODO: This is the next game? STEVEN: No. We'll find the next game behind this door. (STEVEN waves his hand at her, motioning to a large door at the back of the police box.) DODO: How can you be sure? STEVEN: (Nodding.) Look. (STEVEN points to the center of the door where there is a panel showing the DOCTOR's tally recorder. The top line reads 1,023 and the bottom reads 415.) DODO: The Doctor's move record
