TEXT: THE ANDROID INVASION by Terry Nation Part One 5:45pm - 6:10pm [SCENE_BREAK] (Ext forest, day. We follow a UNIT soldier as he staggers clumsily through the brush. His right arm twitches and he stares blankly ahead into space, crashing through the forest at random.) [SCENE_BREAK] (The TARDIS materializes in a clearing in the same forest. The Doctor steps out with a bottle of ginger beer. As he examines his surroundings, he takes a sip. Sarah Jane Smith calls from inside the TARDIS...) SARAH: (os) Well, come on, make your mind up. Has the TARDIS brought us home or not? DOCTOR: Possibly. (Sarah emerges from the TARDIS. She is dressed in a pink pantsuit with a white scarf and a sailor collar. She looks peeved at the Doctor, but not overly so.) SARAH: What do you mean, possibly? DOCTOR: Well, the coordinates were set for your time, but the linear calculator, well...pfff! Ginger pop? (He offers her a sip.) SARAH: Can't stand the stuff, thanks all the same. So we could be anytime, anywhere? (The Doctor starts to walk round the TARDIS, examining its exterior.) DOCTOR: I really must get the TARDIS seen to. She's way overdue for her 500-year service. (He wanders off a bit.) SARAH: Well, at least we're on Earth. I mean, just taste that air! (inhales) I love that smell, just after a rain shower. DOCTOR: (calling) Yes, it does have the peculiar earthy smell. Which is odd when you look at the ground. SARAH: Hmm? DOCTOR: Bone dry. Can't have been any rain here for more than a week. (He takes an instrument out of his pocket, which begins to beep.) DOCTOR: Now I wonder what could be causing that. S
SUMMARY:
The Doctor and Sarah return to Earth in the present day to find a strangely deserted village and woods stalked by white-clad figures.
