TEXT: THE WEB OF FEAR by MERVYN HAISMAN and HENRY LINCOLN first broadcast - February 17th 1968 [SCENE_BREAK] 1. PLATFORM, MONUMENT STATION (The noise crescendos, and the fungus continues to close in on JAMIE and Private EVANS from both sides. Jamie spots an archway leading off to the side of the tunnel.) JAMIE: We've got to get to that archway! EVANS: There's something coming through, look! (A bleeping noise becomes audible, as the giant figure of a YETI emerges from the Web, carrying a small glass pyramid.) JAMIE: The pyramid! Shoot the pyramid! (EVANS aims his rifle and fires two shots. The YETI continues to advance.) JAMIE: The pyramid - get it! (EVANS fires two more shots, but both miss again.) JAMIE: Come on, man, try again! (EVANS shoots again and hits; the pyramid is destroyed with an explosion, but to JAMIE's horror, the Yeti and fungus both continue relentlessly.) JAMIE: But we've destroyed the pyramid. It doesn't work! EVANS: Let's get out while we can! JAMIE: But you shot it! EVANS: Don't argue, come on! (They run for the archway, reaching it moments before the station is engulfed in glowing fungus.) [SCENE_BREAK] 2. TUNNEL (VICTORIA wanders aimlessly through the tunnel network, alone and afraid. The silence around her is broken by the sound of quiet footsteps nearby.) VICTORIA: Doctor? Doctor, is that you? (Just ahead of her, the DOCTOR steps out from an alcove into the tunnel. Behind him is a soldier, wearing the insignia of a COLONEL with a tartan headband; the soldier is holding a revolver to the DOCTOR's neck.) COLONEL: One moment! DOCTOR: Victoria! (VICTORIA gasps at the two figures, then recognise
