TEXT: The Krotons By Robert Holmes 5:15pm - 5:40pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1, INT: LEARNING HALL (The snake-like electronic probe bleeps a little as it receives its instructions from the auto-controller. Steadily it begins to lurch towards the Doctor. He tries to scurry backwards out of the way of the probe, but only succeeds in slipping over on a piece of broken teaching machine.) DOCTOR: Oh deu... ZOE: Ooh! DOCTOR: oh oh oh! ZOE: Oh! DOCTOR: Oh no, aagh agh agh argh aargh! Oooh oh-oh! (His fate seems sealed as the deadly probe steadily closes in on the defenceless form of the Doctor, he puts his hands up to shield his face from the harsh glare of the camera eye, the results are instantaneous and electric. The probe swishes about from side to side, momentarily confused. It sweeps the surrounding area for the pattern it knows as hostile.

DOCTOR: Just watch this Jamie. (He walks towards the probe with his face covered by his hands, then moves his hands down as if he were playing peek-a-boo. The ailing probe lunges for him again, and again he covers his face with his hands.) ZOE: Pattern recognition! (Jamie suspiciously eyes the probe which is flapping about like a fish out of water again.) DOCTOR: Yes, and the pattern is my face! SELRIS: Doctor, do you mean that thing was sent out to attack you and only you? DOCTOR: Yes, so it seems. It's rather flattering isn't it? ZOE: Well then the Krotons know who you are, J
