TEXT: INT. STORAGE SIX The TARDIS materialises. However, the landing is not smooth, she groans and wheezes as if finding it difficult. The Doctor and Rose step outside the doors, looking up at the TARDIS. THE DOCTOR: I dunno what's wrong with her, she's sort of... queasy. Indigestion, like she didn't wanna land. ROSE (seriously): Oh, if you think there's gonna be trouble, we could always get back inside and go somewhere else... They both burst out laughing at this absurd notion. THE DOCTOR (looking around): I think... we've landed inside a cupboard! Here we go! He pushes the door open and they enter another part of the base. COMPUTER: Open Door 15. THE DOCTOR: Some sort of base... moon base, sea base, space base... they build these things out of kits. ROSE (listening): Glad we're indoors, sounds like a storm out there... COMPUTER (as the Doctor opens another door): Open Door 16. Rose follows the Doctor through the door into a corridor. INT. CORRIDOR THE DOCTOR: Human design, you've got a thing about kits. This place was put together like a flat-pack wardrobe, only bigger. And easier. They go through another door. INT. HABITATION AREA THREE They enter a canteen area. COMPUTER: Open Door 17. THE DOCTOR (striding into the middle of the room): Oh, it's a sanctuary base! COMPUTER (as Rose closes the door): Close Door 17. THE DOCTOR: Deep Space exploration. We've gone way out. And listen to that, underneath... He points downwards, indicating for Rose to listen. We hear the hum of drills. THE DOCTOR (CONT'D): Someone's drilling. ROSE (looking up): Welcome to hell. THE DOCTOR: Oh, it's not that bad! ROSE (laughs, points to the wall): No, over there! The words "WELCOME TO HELL"
SUMMARY:
The Doctor and Rose arrive on a base on a planet which is impossibly orbiting a black hole . The crew of the base, who are there on an expedition to drill to the middle of the planet, is led by Captain Zachary Cross Flane. A race of aliens known as the Ood serve them. A quake strikes the planet, causing several sections of the base, including the one where the TARDIS was, to fall into the planet. As the drill nears the planet's centre, the Ood begin foretelling the awakening of a " Beast ", which possesses archaeologist Toby Zed and later the Ood. The drilling finishes, and the Doctor offers to go with Ida Scott to the depths of the planet, where they discover a disc with unreadable markings found on the base and the possessed Toby's face. The Doctor believes the disc to be a door, and as it begins to open the possessed Toby tells Rose that the planet has begun to fall into the black hole and the voice of the Beast announces that he is free.
