TEXT: DEATH TO THE DALEKS BY: TERRY NATION PART ONE 5:30pm - 5:55pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1: EXT. EXXILON (NIGHT) (A spaceman dressed in a blue military tunic pauses at a ledge overlooking a small pool of water. He looks round and then sets off at a run over sandy rocky dunes and through swirling mists that rise from the soil. Exhausted he quickly falls against another dune but quickly recovers himself and moves off again. He runs down a small rise and pauses to get his breath. No sooner has he done so than an arrow thuds into his side. He grunts with pain and grasps the shaft of the arrow. Swaying on his feet, he collapses down an incline next to him which falls to another pool of water. The spaceman tumbles down the incline and splashes into the pool...) [SCENE_BREAK] 2: INT. TARDIS. CONSOLE ROOM (The TARDIS is in flight carrying its occupants towards their holiday on Florana. The DOCTOR swirls a large opened beach umbrella over his head as he sings happily to himself...) DOCTOR: "Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside, I do like to be beside the sea..." (Across the room, SARAH is dressed in a beach outfit and carries several items from on top of a cabinet to a beach bag on a wooden chest. She puts them down as the DOCTOR lowers the umbrella and carries on whistling his tune.) SARAH: Sunglasses, sun lotion, water wings... DOCTOR: Well, you won't need those for a start. SARAH: Oh, we're going swimming, you said. DOCTOR: You can't sink on Florana. SARAH: (Proudly.) I can sink anywhere. DOCTOR: The waters effervescent - the bubbles support you. SARAH: (Smiles.) Like swimming in a glass of... salts. DOC
