TEXT: THE CELESTIAL TOYMAKER by BRIAN HAYLES and GERRY DAVIS first broadcast - 23rd April 1966 running time - 23mins 57secs [SCENE_BREAK] 1. A PASSAGEWAY (STEVEN and DODO are with CYRIL is who now dressed as a schoolboy. He is about to lead them to the next game.) DODO: Steven - look. The Doctor's reached move 902. (DODO and STEVEN observe the tally.) STEVEN: Well, we'll have to hurry. C'mon, where's the next game we have to play? CYRIL: (Laughing.) Yaroooh! It's right over here. You won't find it so easy this time, you know... 'cause you see, you'll be playing against me! (CYRIL's round face with big, blue eyes displays a devilish expression that makes STEVEN and DODO draw back from him. They get over this, however, and follow CYRIL down the passageway. It gets brighter and brighter as they walk. Finally the come to a room saturated with light - the ceiling, walls, and floor are all lit up.) [SCENE_BREAK] 2. THE GAME ROOM CYRIL: Well, here we are. Here's the next game - TARDIS Hopscotch. (All over the floor in a twisted, snake-like fashion is a series of triangles lit up in different colors. They are numbered one to 14. Triangle 14 is the biggest, and it has the word "HOME" flashing on the top. At the other side of the room there is a triangle marked "START".) STEVEN: What are we supposed to do with it? (Cyril opens his hand to reveal dice. He offers one each to STEVEN and DODO.) CYRIL: Well, it's very simple, really. Y'see, each player takes one of these dice, and throws them onto the triangle, and the number that you've thrown will appear up at the end there, on the dice indicator. (
