A SINGLE PIANO NOTE REPEATS

First, we have a note.


Then we have a tune.
HE PLAYS: Three Blind Mice
Then...we have a melody.
HE PLAYS: Moonlight Sonata
by Beethoven
Beethoven wrote this
when he first discovered
he was going deaf.
All that rage...
..and fury...
..out of which...
..something beautiful.
PLAYING STOPS
Am I boring you, Henry?
It's just a bit stuffy.
Can't you play something
more exciting, sir?
There is one thing
you might like.
It's called The Devil's Chord.
Tell me more, sir.
It was banned by the Church
in medieval times
in case it allows the devil
to enter the room.
HE PLAYS A SINGLE NOTE
HE ADDS ANOTHER NOTE
DISSONANT CHORD
Ha. Makes you shiver,
doesn't it?
Technically,
it's known as a tritone.
But...put it in context and...
HE PLAYS A ROMANTIC MELODY
Oh! Gosh!
Oh, goodness me.
KNOCKING
What?
KNOCKING FROM WITHIN PIANO
Is someone playing a game?
MORE KNOCKING
Ta-da!
DRAMATIC CHORDS
Henry, get away from him.
Them.
What?
Me.
What?
I'm them.
You're who?
"You're who?"
THEY CHUCKLE
Nice to see you again, kiddo!
You know each other?
That's my daddy.
Don't be ridiculous.
You didn't look at my name, sir.
Of course I did.
It's Henry... What was it?
Henry...
Henry Arbinger, that's it.
PIANIST CACKLES
Harbinger!
MORE CACKLING
Think of him as my prelude.
And now his song is sung.
Who are you?
My notation is...
..Maestro.
But what are you?
I...
..am...
..music.
And you, Mr Timothy Drake...
..you're a genius.
Don't be ridiculous.
You're the greatest composer
who ever lived.
Clever enough
to find the lost chord.
But it's so sad...
..Timothy.
You never had the luck.
You never got that break.
I did not.
You're right.
Nobody ever understood me!
All those melodies...
..stifled and strangled inside you.
All those songs you never sang.
They sit there still...
..wrapped around your...
..heart.
Still beating.
Wrapped...
..so...
..tight.
Would you like me
to set them free?
I would love that. Yes. Yes!
Music, Maestro, please!

I want to see...
..the Beatles recording
their very first album.
Seriously?
You asked!
If I could go anywhere in time
and space, that's where I'd go.
Because my mum, she had
a girlfriend, Clare.
I loved Clare.
And she was dead into vinyl.
She had all the Beatles albums,
so we used to play them
every day after school.
Ten years old, I was.
We had Revolver,
the White Album.
So, yeah, if I could
go anywhere,
then that's where I'd go.
CLANKING AND WHIRRING
That...is...
..amazing!
Oh, right! Seriously?
Oh! People always say
the Titanic, or Mars,

But the Beatles?
Why have I never done that
before?
Come on!

MUSIC: California Soul
by Marlena Shaw
# Like a sound you hear
that lingers in your ear
# But you can't
forget from sundown to sunset
# It's all in the air,
you hear it everywhere
# No matter what you do,
it's gonna grab a hold on you
# California soul... #
1963!
THE DOCTOR CHUCKLES
Oh, no way!
It's like the album cover!
Oh, I am having the best time!
Look at the cars!
Oh, come on!
DOCTOR LAUGHS, RUBY SQUEALS
BOTH: # Da-da-da-da-da, da!
# Da-da-da-da-da, da!
Ho-ho! Abbey Road Studios.
Not called Abbey Road yet.
Right now, in '63, they are...
.the EMI Recording Studios.
Huh!
THEY LAUGH
And how do we get in?
Won't they ask who we are?
Hmm...
RUBY:
Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Hi. Janet said
we could take over,
so you can have ten minutes off.
Oh, right. Thank you!
Very kind!
Oh!
Yep, there's always a Janet.
And everyone wants a cuppa.
Brilliant!
RUBY GIGGLES
Good morning! Cup of tea?
Er, yeah, make it a strong one,
two sugars. Er...
MICROPHONE FEEDBACK
Boys, do you want anything?
I'm all right for now.
Maybe something stronger later
on.
What
do you think, John?
Now you're talking, Paul, lad.
I just want a good night's sleep.
You keep playing like that,
we'll all have a good kip.
All right, all right,
let's take it from the top.
I thought, the chorus,
don't slide in the harmonies.
Just hit it.
Whatever you say, boss.
Hurry up, then, George. We're only
getting paid seven quid a day.
Er, good luck.
Thanks.
Roll to record.
And a three, two, one.
# I've got a dog
He's called Fred
# My dog is alive
He's not dead
# I love my dog
He loves me too
# I haven't got a cat
Only a dog
# My dog, my dog
My dog, my dog
# I've got a dog
I love my dog
# He's my dog
He's not your dog
# If you want a dog
Get your own. #
KNOCKING AT DOOR
Hi. Don't mind us.
Just...cup of tea.
OK.
Going from the second chorus,
playing in the last four bars
of the verse.
Good luck, Cilla.
Don't let me down, Cilla.
And a three, two, one...
# I love you,
you love me
# We are two, we are not three
# Cos you love me
# And I love you
# We're quite happy,
I think, perhaps. #
Oh, Cilla.
DOCTOR: Don't mind us!
PRODUCER:
And roll to record,
please.
ORCHESTRA PLAY SLUGGISHLY:
Three Blind Mice
DOCTOR: Look at them.
Everything's gone dull.
No-one hums, no-one whistles.
No-one taps their feet.
I don't get it, though.
Music isn't...
Like, you can't lose it
or steal it or kill it.
It's just natural.
You get music when...
..the wind blows
through the trees.
That's called Aeolian tones.
But music - music
is the highest form of thought.
If you take that away...
Finland?
That never happened.
If music has gone, that means
everything is changing.
The whole human race
is taking a different path.
OK. So what do we do?
You take John Lennon,
I'll take Paul McCartney.
Find out what's happened
and when it happened.
Two cups of tea, my darlings.
That's half a crown,
ta very much.
How much?
BOTH: That is outrageous!
Take it or leave it, sweetheart.
That is daylight robbery!
Ooh.
That's me, Margaret Lockwood
in The Wicked Lady.
Now, there was a woman.
Statuesque!
Excuse me. Hold on, Paul. Um...
Could I just have a word?
I've got a cup of tea for you.
Mr Epstein sent me.
OK. Um... You...
..are writing the songs
for the band, yeah?
They're not very good,
are they?
Oh. Er...
Well, no. No.
Great! That's great, lad.
That's how it should be.
It's not like the old days,
when we had waltzes
and fandangos and all that.
But waltzes used to exist.
When did they start
becoming wrong?
Dunno. Way back.
'20s, '30s.
Why? What happened?
We started seeing sense.
What we're doing here today
is the last gasp.
If I can make a bit of money
out of cheap old rhymes,
then I can settle down
and get a proper job.
It's embarrassing, singing.
I just want to finish
the album,
get back to Liverpool
and forget it.
But you can't do that.
We need you.
What for?
I'm no good at anything.
But, Paul, see...when
it's just you on your own...
..don't you think...
..there must be better songs?
Songs that...lift you?
And devastate you?
And make you soar?
Songs that are tucked away
somewhere in secret,
in the back of your mind?
How do you know that?
I just want to go home.
Forget this life.
Just have my tea and go to bed with
a woman of my own, you know.
That's all I want.
But then why do I wake up crying?
It's like sometimes, late
at night, I get this thought...
..like, it's so far away...
..but it's a note.
A single note.
And then a second.
And a third and fourth
and fifth.
And you put them together
and it feels like the most
holy thing on this Earth.
Like a...
..G.
Then an E.
Then a G maybe twice.
Then C.
And if you put words to it,
words right from your heart...
# I love you
# So much... #

DOCTOR: That's it, Vinnie.
Nice and safe.
I want that installed
on the rooftop
like it is precious china.
VINNIE:
Easy, boys!
Don't hit the wall!
Right. Let's head on up.
Thing is, without music,
dance must be gone.
No-one dances any more!
I mean, can you dance
without music?
I mean, you can, but do you want to?
And think about it, Ruby -
love songs!
There are no more love songs
any more.
Oh, my God!
There's no more love songs
in the whole wide world!
Ah!
Whoo!
IN COCKNEY ACCENT: Old London Town!
Is that smog? I thought they
got rid of that in the '50s.
We had a really bad smog
in December '62,
but this...
..is more like a darkening.
The world is darkening.
I live over there.
You do what?
I live over there.
What do you mean?
Shoreditch.
I'm there right now.
OK, you're gonna have to start
again.
In the past, right now, I live
in a place called Totter's Lane.
1963, I park the TARDIS
in a junkyard
and live there
with my granddaughter, Susan.
Oh!
DOCTOR CHUCKLES
OK?
Your what?
My granddaughter.
Susan?
We could go and have a look,
but, you know, timelines -
kachoom!
You've got children?
I did have.
I will have.
Time Lords get a bit...complicated.
Yeah, but you've got
a granddaughter? Like, now?
Like, today? Back in our time -
my time - agh!
Where is she?
I don't know.
How do you not know?
The Time Lords were murdered.
The genocide rolled
across time and space,
like a great big cellular explosion.
Maybe it killed her too.
Doctor... God...
DOCTOR LAUGHS SOFTLY
Here we go, Doc!
Hey, Vinnie!
Thank you very much!
Come on. Bit of luck,
I'll have you whistling
by sundown.
Can't bear whistling, Doc.
All those horrible tunes!
No, thanks!
All right.
RUBY LAUGHS
Oh-ho!
It's all yours, honey.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm...
I'm not that good.
Ah, you are, sweet. I've seen you.
December '23, King's Arms.
You opened with One More Sleep.
I can't believe you were there.
Ah! It all comes back to
Christmas with you, doesn't it?
I need you to play again.
But what for?
At this moment in
time, Ruby Sunday,
you are the only music in the world.
Let's see what happens
if you bring music back.
Right, I'll just... No pressure.
OK.
I wrote this for my friend Trudy

OK. OK, OK, OK. OK.
You're scaring me now.
That thing...
..must be part of the Pantheon.
Oh, Ruby, there are...
...vast powers...
..beyond the universe.
I told you, when we first met.
I said...
I said the Toymaker...
And defeating him took everything.
It ripped me in half.
But you survived.
It literally...
It tore my soul in half.
I can't...survive that again.
The Toymaker said...
He said...
He warned me. He said,
"My legions are coming.
"My legions are coming."
He said, "My legions are coming."
But you made that silence
with the sonic.
That worked, didn't it?
Yeah, one trick, once.
That's all you get with the gods.
OK, so what do we do?
I don't know.
I don't know, Ruby.
That is the point. I don't know.
But you always know!
I don't!
The last time, I got lucky.
Catch!
One trick, once.
But this thing...
..is stealing music!
I mean, how the...
How the hell is...?
I'm sorry...
..but the power of
these creatures is so vast,
the whole world
could slide into the pit.
Doctor...
..I know you're clever and all that,
but I've got news for you.
The world did not end
in 1963.
Right.
No, but it didn't!
OK? I'm living proof!
I was born in 2004,
and all my life I've had
Beyonce and Sam Fender
and Strictly
and tap-dancing and raves.
My mum sings Danny Boy
at Christmas when she's drunk
to my gran.
Don't you see, Doctor?
Music...exists.
Come with me.
So when is it for you, back home?
What time are you? June 2024?
Er, it's hard to keep track,
but, yeah, I think so.
June, July?

Where's my mum?
I think without music,
the human race goes sour.
Without any way
of expressing a broken heart,
they go to war
without even knowing why.
WIND HOWLS
Then how am I still alive?
Why don't I fade away?
Because of me.
Boo!
MAESTRO CACKLES

Maestro!
The Doctor.
That was you in '63, wasn't it,

You stepped from one time
to another,
like...the Lord Temporal,
who trapped my father
and bound him in salt, yes?
Child of the Toymaker.
C'est moi, mon cher!
THEY GIGGLE
I should thank you, Doctor.
Daddy was so bad to me!
TUNE CONTINUES
# Daddy was so mean
# Daddy was so tough
# Daddy daddy'd me
# And that was quite enough. #
If he was a living game,
you are the essence
of music itself.
Ah!
But what's the point?
You've destroyed the world!
Music is gone.
How is that a win?
Not...gone...darling!
Hush!
WIND WHISTLES
MAESTRO SIGHS
The sound...
..of a nuclear winter.
The purest music of all.
Aeolian tones.
Music without the need
for people.
And every song that goes
unsung feeds me.
I get stronger and stronger
until I can reach out
and steal the music of the spheres.
Then...the universe will stop
turning.
It'll keen...
..in a minor key.
Aeolian tones
across the whole of creation.
And that lament
will be my symphony supreme.
With all of life extinguished.
I'm going solo.
How did you enter this world?
Oh...
THEY GIGGLE
..that would be telling, babes.
No...babes!
Your father established
the rules of fair play.
One thing that
he would never do is cheat!
So I have a right to know!
A genius.
A single silly man...
..who found the lost chord.
Which means a different combination
of notes would banish you.
I said, genius!
THEY LAUGH
And you might be bright...
..and hot...and...
THEY PLAY A FEW NOTES
..timey-wimey.
MAESTRO CACKLES
But genius?
Oh, honey, I don't think so.

There's always a twist
# There's always a twist
at the end
# There's always a twist
There's always a twist
# There's always a twist
at the end
# Pretend, descend
Land's End, make do and mend
# Cos there's always

# Yes, there's always a twist
at
the end!

Hey!
# There's always a twist at the end
# Ah-ah-ah
# There's always a twist at the end
# Ah-ah-ah
# We ain't no fools from Liverpool
# Cos there's always a twist
at the end
# I always said
that it ends with a twist
# That's one good thing
that can't be missed
# Have a smashin' little dance
cos we know what's best
# Cos we're the smart girls
from the northwest! #
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
# Sing along
if you've got a twist
# Sing along if you kiss the mist
# There's a special little
dance you'll run the risk
# There's always, always
# Always a twist
# La-la la la la la-la
# La la-la-la-la-la la-la-la
# La la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-
la-la-la
# La la la-la la la
# There's always a twist
at the end
# I said there's always a twist
at the end
# What you intend, I can't defend
# I think this song will never end
# Cos there's always
# Always
# Always
# A twist at the end! #
