TEXT: INT. PHOTO A photograph of Pete Tyler. ROSE (voice-over): Peter Alan Tyler, my dad. The most wonderful man in the world. Born 15th of September 1954. INT. TYLER'S FLAT, JACKIE'S BEDROOM Rose, aged about 6, pokes her head around her mother's bedroom door. Jackie is sitting on the bed with a photo album on her lap. JACKIE: Come here, Rose. Come here... She pats the bed beside her. Rose clambers up on the bed to sit next to her. Jackie points at a photo of Pete Tyler. JACKIE (CONT'D): Who's that? It's your Daddy. You weren't old enough to remember when he died. 1987. 7th of November. Do you remember what I told you? The day that Stuart Hoskins and Sarah Clarke got married? She turns the page onto a photograph of Jackie and Peter together. JACKIE (CONT'D): He was always having adventures. Oh, he would have loved to have seen you now. INT. TARDIS 19 year old Rose is leaning against the console, and the Doctor is sitting comfortably back in one of the chairs. ROSE: That's what mum always says. So, I was thinking... could we? Could we go and see my dad when he was still alive? THE DOCTOR: Where's this come from, all of a sudden? ROSE: All right then, if we can't, if it goes against the laws of times or something, then never mind, we'll just leave it. THE DOCTOR: No, I can do anything. I'm just more worried about you. ROSE: I wanna see him. THE DOCTOR: Your wish is my command. But be careful what you wish for. He stands up and starts up the TARDIS engines. OPENING CREDITS INT. REGISTRY OFFICE The Doctor and Rose are sitting at the back of a small crowd of people witnessing the marriage of Jackie and Pete. REGISTRAR: I, Peter Alan Tyler, take you, Jacqueline, Angela, Suzette Prentiss... PETE: I
SUMMARY:
Rose asks the Doctor to take her back to the day her father Pete Tyler died in a hit and run accident, but when she saves him, she creates a paradox. Flying creatures known as Reapers appear and attempt to treat the wound in time and space by consuming everyone in it. The guests at the wedding of Jackie and Pete's friends hide in a church while the Doctor tries to summon the TARDIS inside. Jackie accuses Pete of having another daughter, and to prove that Rose is the same as the baby Rose, he puts the baby in the older Rose's arms, causing a bigger paradox, and the Doctor is taken by the Reapers. Pete realises he must die for everything to be repaired, and throws himself in front of the car, which has been appearing and reappearing around the corner of the church, causing the Doctor to return.
