TEXT: THE CELESTIAL TOYMAKER by BRIAN HAYLES and GERRY DAVIS first broadcast - 16th April 1966 running time - 24mins 10secs [SCENE_BREAK] 1. THE SECOND THRONE ROOM (STEVEN and DODO succeeded in finding the safe throne. Now the second throne room darkens and a light comes on from the cupboard that wouldn't open earlier. It slides out as they watch until finally it stands almost clear of the wall - an unmistakable police box! To STEVEN and DODO's dismay, it is not the real TARDIS. DODO tries to solve the last riddle - call the servants without voice - by calling out to the dolls. Nothing seems to happen. Next, the telephone inside the police box rings, and STEVEN answers it. It's THE TOYMAKER.) CELESTIAL TOYMAKER: You're doing better than I thought. But don't rest on your laurels. The Doctor is succeeding even faster than you. Time and luck are running out. Here is the next clue: hunt the key to fit the door that leads out on the dancing floor; then escape the rhythmic beat, or you'll forever tap your feet. (There is a clicking sound over the telephone. THE CELESTIAL TOYMAKER hung up the phone.) STEVEN: But... DODO: He's gone. (STEVEN hangs up the phone. As he does so, the entire back wall of the police box opens and reveals a dark passageway.) DODO: Steven, look. (STEVEN and DODO look back at the chairs where the KING and QUEEN became entangled. Lying on the seat of the mangled throne are two playing cards -- the King and Queen of Hearts.) STEVEN: I said that's all they were. Never mind that now. The next game -- come. (STEVEN enters the dark passage, but DODO remains behind for just a moment.) DODO: (Shouting.) Dolls, dolls, wherever you are, come out
