TEXT: EGYPT, 1334 BC INT. PALACE CHAMBER The DOCTOR hurries to the TARDIS, followed by an Egyptian woman of high ranking. DOCTOR: Bye then! Lovely meeting you. Sorry about the mess. The WOMAN pulls him back and presses him against the TARDIS. WOMAN: (seductively) You think I'll let you leave without me, (rubs her hands along his chest) after what we've just been through?(runs fingers through his hair) DOCTOR: You've got the Egyptian people to rule, Queen Nefertiti. (voice gets progressively higher) They'll need reassuring after that weapon-bearing giant alien locust attack we just stopped, rather brilliantly. (an old-time car horn sounds) Sorry! (trades places with NEFERTITI and pulls out psychic paper) Got it set to temporal newsfeed...Oh, that's interesting! NEFERTITI: What is? DOCTOR: Nothing! Not at.. Ohh! Never been there, exciting! NEFERTITI pushes the DOCTOR into the TARDIS causing him to stretch out that last word into a cry. SPACE A large ship is on its way towards Earth. INT. MILITARY HQ, 2367 The ship is brought up on a screen. A female officer, INDIRA, is explaining the problem to the DOCTOR. INDIRA: Craft size approximately ten million square kilometres. DOCTOR: A ship the size of Canada, coming at Earth very fast. Any signs of life? INDIRA: We sent up a drone craft, it took these readings. DOCTOR: (bends over to read the screen) Crikey Charlie, look at that! Ooh, I know someone who'd love a look. And the Ponds! (walks around screen) Mustn't forget the Ponds! Haven't seen them in ages. (rests arm on NEFERTITI'S shoulder) I'm riffing, people usually stop me when I'm riffing, or carry on without me. NEFERTITI: Can you
SUMMARY:
The Doctor attempts to prevent the destruction of an unmanned spaceship with a cargo of dinosaurs alongside Rory's father, Brian, Queen Nefertiti , and big-game hunter John Riddell. The Doctor and his companions discover that the ship is a Silurian ark designed to carry the reptilian humanoids to a new planet along with flora and fauna from their time period. They find that a man named Solomon had killed the Silurian inhabitants in order to sell the dinosaurs on board, and goes after Nefertiti after seeing her value. The Doctor foils Solomon's plan and prevents the missiles from destroying the ship, but does not extend mercy to Solomon.
