EXT.FX SHOT.
A beautiful blue planet, hanging in the sky. A few
small islands are dotted far apart from each other
around the planet. Its Rings slowly drifting around
it. Suddenly CAMERA, pans down through the planet.
Down and Down and Down, through the planets
atmosphere and into...
INT. OFFICE.DAY
DOCTOR RATNYAKA, human, is sitting by a large desk.
The walls and ceiling surrounding him are made ofglass. Like one big giant bubble. Behind the glass is
the ocean. GIANT JELLYFISH slowly bob around in the
water. DOCTOR RATNYAKA looks at some PAPERS.
DOCTOR RATNYAKA
But thats impossible... 15 inches of exoglass and
they still manage to get in!
CAMERA reveals the paper he is holding to be a
newspaper cutting: THIRD DEATH ON ENJONGIA PROMPTS
DETECTIVE INVESTIGATION.
DOCTOR RATNYAKA puts down the cutting sighs and
stands up. He calls to someone.
DOCTOR RATNYAKA
VERA! To me, I need you to see this...
From the door, VERA appears, humanoid, slim, but her
body is completely purple...
VERA
Doctor Ratnyaka?
She walks over, He looks at her,
DOCTOR RATNYAKA
Vera, look at these readings...
-

He hands over various bits of paper; VERA scans the
papers and looks up, her eyes wide
DOCTOR RATNYAANow tell me this whole incident is a hoax.
VERA opens her mouth to speak when suddenly, the
lights flash, not out, but brighter... As if a big
lightning strike had filled the room.
VERA
Doctor what was that?
DOCTOR RATNYAKA is speechless.
VERA
But sir, what it said in all our research. The
rumours are true,
DOCTOR RATNYAKA picks up a small tattered book.
Another Flash, He quickly skips through the pages,
until he finds what he is looking for, CAMERA on the
page, some words. DOCTOR RATNYAKA reads them out. Asense of panic in his voice.
DOCTOR RATNYAKA
When the lights begin to flash, you know youre not
alone. When the lights begin to flash youd better
run. For when the lights begin to flash, youll be
dead before you know it.
VERA and DOCTOR RATNYAKA look at each other in
horror, the lights are flashing more frequent now. In
the breaks between the flashes, VERA looks towards
the wall where a crack is appearing.
VERA
Doctor Ratnyaka?
The GIANT JELLYFISH face the crack, as if they are
gleeful that the wall is going to smash. VERA and
DOCTOR RATNYAKA both stare at the wall...It smashes,VERA screams at the top of her voice as the JELLYFISH

come crashing down on her. As water engulfs the room,
the JELLYFISH laugh.
CUT TO TITLES
INT.TARDIS INTERIOR.
The TARDIS console is whirring and spinning away. THE
DOCTOR and AMY standing around it, talking.
THE DOCTOR
So, Cleopatra...or...Civil War...
AMY looks blankly at THE DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR
Im thinking no votes for the Civil War then?
AMY still silent, no words coming out
THE DOCTOR
What is it you want?
AMY
O.K, call me a killjoy but, Ive kind of had enough
of all this danger and excitement thing. Its like
one giant Clich here with you, I want a holiday.
Somewhere relaxing. You never took me to Rio after
the whole Silurian stuff...
THE DOCTOR looks horrified
THE DOCTOR
What? Thats stupid, why would you want a holiday?
AMY
Because you numpty Im Human. Im not sure about Time
Lords, but most Humans get tired of their everyday
lives and just want a break. You know, to relax.
THE DOCTOR still looks unconvinced. But, he gives in.

5/54
THE DOCTOR
O.K, but were going where I choose.
AMY
Which is where?
THE DOCTOR
Youll see. The trouble about you Amy is that you
always ask questions.
He races around the TARDIS console, pushing buttons
and pulling levers.
AMY
Shut up.
THE DOCTOR ignores AMY and carries on pressing
buttons. Until the familiar scream of the TARDIS
engines start.
THE DOCTOR
And...Were...Off!
EX.FXSHOT.
THE TARDIS spins into view, in front of it a BLUE
PLANET, various rings encircling it. THE TARDIS doors
open and out pops the heads of AMY and THE DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR
So Amy, what do you think that is?
AMY
A Planet?
THE DOCTOR
Well, yes, but...look at it, Amy... This planet is
the most talked about planet in all the cosmos. This
is the planet of Enjongia, the biggest aquarium in
all the solar systems. Oh, this planet is home to all
kinds of species. The moon sharks of Saturn.Jokonoch. Even Star Whales, they live in the sky of

course but still. If its fishy its here! Never
heard of it?
AMY
Nope! Shows how much I get out then doesnt it?
THE DOCTOR
Yes, it does.
AMY
Oi! Ever heard the term rhetorical question?
THE DOCTOR ignores her yet again.
THE DOCTOR
So, Amy. Fancy a look?
INT.TOURISM SUITE. DAY.
The TOURISM SUITE. A beautiful reception room.
Modern, with sofas and chairs dotted around the room.
A long desk at one end, a door at the other. One
whole wall is completely made of glass. Big shark
like creatures swimming along. Suddenly, THE TARDIS
materializes into a corner of the room. AMY stepsout. AMY sees the shark-like creatures through the
glass, sequels and runs to the glass.
AMY
Cool, Space sharks!
The doctorstrides out the TARDIS; he notices AMY and
walks up to her.
THE DOCTOR
Now, Amy. Dont be rude.
A tall woman enters the suite, ALEXIS, Female, Human.
She stares at THE DOCTOR and AMY.
ALEXIS
Um... sorry to keep you waiting. Are you here to buy
tickets.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
7/54
THE DOCTOR is about to say something, when AMY gets
there before him.
AMY
Yeah, we were. Actually were members of theparliament of... Mars. So we were told we could get
in for free... werent we Doctor!
AMY nudges THE DOCTOR, indicating the small wallet in
THE DOCTORs pocket.
THE DOCTOR
Yes. Yes, we were
He takes out the PSYCIC PAPAER and holds it up to
ALEXIS
ALEXIS
I see. Well then, if youd like to go through those
doors. You should have access to the main breeding
points. Enjoy your visit!
She indicates the door. Smiles, and heads off behind
the desk. THE DOCTOR and AMY walk through the doors.
INT.DEPATURE SUITE.DAY
A huge room, all hustle and bustle, various different
species all walking in different directions. Arranged
around the room in a big triangle are different
pillars of light. Not too big. Just enough to fit
three or four people in. AMY watches as a group of
people stand in one of these pillars and disappears.
THE DOCTOR
Far range Teleports, whizz tourists off to different
points of the planet, see. Different breeds or
species grow in different areas. Its like on Earth.
THE DOCTOR and AMY, move to the centre of the room
where a big holographic map of the planet is.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
8/54
AMY
And this is a map of the whole thing, yeah?
THE DOCTOR
Exactly. Now lets see... where havent I beenbefore.
He studies the map carefully.
THE DOCTOR
Ah! There we are. Ive been meaning to go there.
Never got around to it.
AMY
Where are we going?
THE DOCTOR
The Valley Of Aqodeen.
He gives AMY a big grin.
INT.AQOUDIAN CHAPEL.DAY.
A TV screen. On the TV screen is the fuzzy image ofthe DEPARTURE SUITE, Its a CCTV screen .THE DOCTOR
and AMY can be seen someone watching. Its SELLY,
Female, Human. She calls into a WALKIE-TALKIE
SELLY
Yes, we have someone. But they should know the
Valleys out of bounds. Were gonna have to shut the
teleport down. They cant come here. If tourists find
out about whats happened this whole planets gonna be
mortified. Over.
INT.DEPARTURE SUITE.DAY.
THE DOCTOR and AMY stand in the light alone, no-one
else.
THE DOCTOR
Im surprised were the only people going. The ValleyOf Aqodeens supposed to be Enjongias most popular

exhibit. Its home to a severly endangered race. The
Jokonoch. Or to you more known as Space Jellyfish
AMYO.K, well...lets get off then. Its already nearly
noon. Lets Hurry up Before these Joko-whatsits all
die.
THE DOCTOR flicks a button, on a control panel next
to the pillar. They disappear.
INT.FX SHOT.
THE DOCTOR and AMY are zooming along a blur of colour
and light. THE DOCTOR screaming. AMY whooping with
enjoyment. And then...
INT.FEEDING TUNNEL.DAY.
The colours stop. THE DOCTOR and AMY are thrown
foreword and land on their backs in some sort of
corridor. A sign above reads: JOKONOCH FEEDING TUNEL,
A group of equipments bundled up in one of thecorridors sides. The whole floor, glass. With Giant
Jellyfish swimming beneath them, JOKONOCH.
AMY
That felt a bit short. I was enjoying that!
THE DOCTORs not listening. He has his screwdriver
out and is inspecting the walls.
THE DOCTOR
Yeah, It was. Were not there yet. Someones shut
down the teleport system. And we seem to have ended
up in a feeding tunnel
There are instructions on the wall. THE DOCTOR reads
them.
Instructions for feeding Tunnels: AT 11:00 ALL
FEEDING TUNNELS ARE TO BE DISINFECTED FROM ANY
HARMFUL GERMS TO THE FISH. AT 12:00, THE JOKONOCHMUST BE AUTOMATICALLY FED FROM THE CONTROL ROOM. IT
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
10/54
IS IMPORTANT TO BE IN THE CONTROL ROOM AT THIS POINT,
AS THIS POINT. FOR THE FOOD FOR THE JOKONOCH ARE
STORED IN THE FEEDING TUNNELS. AND THE FEEDING
TUNNELS AUTOMATICALLY OPEN SO THE FISH CAN EAT. THE
FISH DO EAT HUMANS.
THE DOCTOR
Oh, thats bad...
AMY
What?
THE DOCTOR
Were in this feeding tunnel, right?
AMY
Right?
THE DOCTOR
And its now 12.00?
AMY
Just about, yeah!
THE DOCTOR
So, its feeding time...This is the feeding tunnel
AMY looks at THE DOCTOR in horror, she realises what
he means.
AMY
Well, weve got to get out! Quick!
AMY starts frantically running about. Shes
panicking.
AMY
I dont want to be eaten by giant Jellyfish!
Suddenly lights start flashing, lightning like,
filling the room with
white light.
AMY
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
11/54
Doctor, what was that?
THE DOCTOR
I dont know. Could be a warning of some kind. Or
something more deadly...
Suddenly the ground begins to shake. And the glass
floor begins to move.
Letting the water gush into the tunnel. AMY screams,
shes terrified.
THE DOCTOR
GERONIMOOOOO!
INT.JOKONOCH TANK.DAY.
AMY and THE DOCTOR are panicking in the water.
JOKONOCH swimming slowly toward them. AMY tries to
scream., but the water drowns out the sound. THE
DOCTOR and AMY (still holding their breath) swim as
fast as they can away from THE JOKONOCH. Until they
hit a glass wall. Through it, they can see SELLY
staring at them, safe in a viewing deck. Shes
horrified.As the JOKONOCH nearly reach THE DOCTOR and AMY, AMY
is almost to the point of suffocation, and she
indicates herself and THE DOCTOR to. SELLY, (through
the glass). THE JOKONOCH are just about to touch THE
DOCTOR, just when another flash of light happens,
When SELLY presses a button on a control panel she is
holding. THE DOCTOR and AMY disappear.
INT.PRESIDENTIAL VIEWING DECK.DAY.
A comfortable room Glass walls surround the area,
Jokonoch behind it. Empty, except for SELLY. Who is
sitting on an armchair facing a sofa. Waiting.
Then... AMY and THE DOCTOR appear. Soaking wet. They
are sitting opposite SELLY on the sofa. Who has the
control panel in her hand.
SELLY
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
12/54
Humite! It locks on to your basic humanoid life
forms! We have it here in case the tourists get stuck
in the tanks.
AMY ignores SELLY. She turns to THE DOCTOR. She
looks angry.
AMY
Im drenched. Im freezing and I nearly got eaten by
Space Jellyfish. Not really my idea of a relaxing
holiday eh Doctor?
THE DOCTOR
Well, technically speaking youre not freezing. The
temperature of that water levels at more or less 1
degrees Celsius which is just above freezing.
AMY is speechless. She hates it when THE DOCTOR
teases her.
SELLY
First things first. Who are you two and where did youcome from?
THE DOCTOR
No,I think the first question ought to be, Why did
you almost let us be fed to that pack of Jokonoch?
THE DOCTOR indicates behind him. Where JOKONOCH are
swimming.
SELLY
O.K, I think we may have got off to a rocky start.
Its not our fault. The Valley of Aqodeen has been
out of bounds since Tuesday, so you shouldnt have
been coming here anyway, the feeding is an automatic
process, we cant stop it. And anyway why are you
having a go at me. If it wasnt for me youd be dead!
THE DOCTOR
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
13/54
No...Fair point. But, if this valley was out of
bounds this week, then why was the teleport system up
and running?
SELLYBecause, we have scientists coming from all over the
solar system coming here. To investigate something.
THE DOCTOR
And what is it theyre investigating?
SELLY sighs
SELLY
Somethings happened. Something horrible. These
Scientists are our only hope...
AMY butts in.
AMY
Well thats us!
THE DOCTOR looks at AMY in surprise,
SELLY
What?
AMY
The Doctor and Amy Pond! Were scientists from Earth.
THE DOCTOR mouths: WE ARE?, AMY nods vigorously.
THE DOCTOR
Yes, we are. And we thought wed come and investigate
SELLY
Earth? I dont think we called for anyone there to
help us...
THE DOCTOR
No, you didnt. But news gets around fast. And Amy
and I just thought that wed have a look round
ourselves.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
14/54
SELLYWell, if you are scientists then we could use you.
The Labs just through here. Follow me.
SELLY walks through a door at the end of the room.
THE DOCTOR and AMY look at each other.
AMY
Doctor she said that something horrible had happened.
THE DOCTOR
I know. Somethings fishy around here.
AMY rolls her eyes.
THE DOCTOR
And were not leaving until we find out what...
They both head off behind the door.
INT.VALLEY LAB.DAY
A large laboratory, No glass walls. Various worktops
with sinks and power cables running along it.
Different people standing around different desks, all
wearing lab coats. SELLY beckons for THE DOCTOR and
AMY to follow her. SELLY is chatting away to
PROFFESOR OBERON. Old, quite short, purple skinned.
He holds out his hand to THE DOCTOR, who happily
shakes it. OBERON offers AMY a hand shake. But she
declines. AMY turns to THE DOCTOR
AMY
Doctor, hes purple.
THE DOCTOR
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
15/54
Amy, again with the rudeness! Everyone whos native
to this planet is purple. Its as normal as humans
having a nose. Sorry about Amy, shes from Earth
not very big imaginations. They find it hard to
accept things.
OBERON ignores this.
OBERON
My name is Professor Oberon
AMY
Nice name bit Shakespeare.
OBERON looks confused
OBERON
Im sorry who?
AMY
Shakespeare
OBERON
Shakespeare?
AMY
Oh, never mind...
AMY shakes OBERONS hand.
AMY
Nice to meet you!
OBERON walks over to the centre of the room. THE
DOCTOR and AMY follow. SELLY walks with AMY.
SELLY
My Father is head of Physics here in Enjongia.
AMY
Hes your father is he? Thats nice. Get to work with
your dad! But how come your not...
SELLY
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
16/54
Purple! Im a cross-species. My mother was human. I
got her genes.
OBERONLadies and Gentlemen, if I could have your attention
just for a moment.
The SCIENTISTS in the room all turn to look at
OBERON.
OBERON
These are our new scientists from...
OBERON looks at AMY and THE DOCTOR
AMY
Earth!
OBERON
Yes, from Earth. The Doctor and Miss Amy Pond! I
trust you to make them welcome here. Back to work!
All the SCIENTISTS start working again. AMY walksaround the lab greeting everyone while THE DOCTOR
talks to OBERON.
THE DOCTOR
So, Oberon. What exactly are you working on?
OBERON looks puzzled.
OBERON
Why, you should know! Selly here tells me you came
here by yourself to investigate this.
THE DOCTOR
Well, had a glass of Vodka or two. Never knew how
strong that stuff really is!
OBERON
Yes, quite. Alright. Were investigating the bodies
recently found here in the Valley.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
17/54
THE DOCTOR
Bodies! Now thats interesting.
OBERONBut, its funny. All of the victims seem to be human,
or at least, humanoid. The bodies were all found
amongst ruins of the buildings As if the threat were
dealing with destroyed the buildings as well.
We found each of the Victims with all moisture
drained from their bodies. This is one of the
Jokonoch killing techniques other than the more
common sting of course. But, the Jokonoch came from
the planet gorgeon, they lived and interacted with
humanoids every day, they wouldnt dream of hurting
the tourists.
THE DOCTOR catches on. Speaks before OBERON gets the
chance to.
THE DOCTOR
So someone or something is controlling the Jokonoch!
OBERONExactly!
Beat.
THE DOCTOR
Oberon, this is very important. We just might be able
to find the threat if I take a look at the victims,
Have you got any bodies here, in the research lab.
OBERON
Well. In the preservation centre we do...
THE DOCTOR
Could you take me there?
OBERON
Well, I see no reason why not.
THE DOCTOR
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
18/54
Then what are doing stuck in a boring old lab. Lets
go and have a bit of fun!
THE DOCTOR starts to walk out of the lab. AMY,
meanwhile, is chatting to SELLY
OBERON
Wrong way Doctor!
OBERON indicates a small staircase leading to a lower
level. THE DOCTOR heads for AMY.
THE DOCTOR
Amy, coming?
AMY
Where?
THE DOCTOR
The preservation centre...were going to have a poke
at dead bodies.
AMY looks disgusted.
AMY
Eurgh! But, yeah, Ill come.
THE DOCTOR and AMY head off after OBERON. Who has
disappeared below the staircase?
INT.PRESERVATION CENTRE.DAY
A powdery white room. Like some sort of operation
theatre. Big light in the centre of the room. No
windows. Sort of Claustrophobic. Various tables are
scattered around the room, with large white sheets
over what seems to be DEAD BODIES. THE DOCTOR, AMY,
and OBERON emerge from a staircase in a corner of the
room.
OBERON
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
19/54
Weve had to rebuild this place twice with
exoshields inserted in the walls so the Jokonoch
cant get in. They keep trying to steal the bodies!
As you can see, the dead bodies are all kept here.
THE DOCTOR stands by one of the tables. He indicates
the cloth
THE DOCTOR
Can I...?
OBERON
Oh, go ahead.
THE DOCTOR lifts the sheet to reveal the DEAD BODY of
DOCTOR RATNYAKA. But its impossible to recognise
him. His body, shrivelled up and bony. A sort of
Brownish Grey colour. A horrific sight.
AMY
Oh My God! Thats a dead body. Thats horrible.
OBERON
That, was Doctor Ratnyaka, head of ichthyology hereat Enjongia.
AMY
Whats ichthyology?
THE DOCTOR
The study of Fish. Oberon, mind if I take a look?
THE DOCTOR takes out a metal knife from his pocket.
OBERON nods in confirmation. THE DOCTOR cuts open the
body. Its blood pours out. But its mouldy, lumps of
greenish blue blood.
AMY
I think Im gonna be sick
THE DOCTOR
Shhh Amy, Im working...this blood is old. Very old,
do you know when this person was killed?
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
20/54
OBERON
Only yesterday. Him and his assistant, Vera, found
dead in the ruins of his office.
THE DOCTOR dips his finger in the blood and licks it.He winces in disgust.
THE DOCTOR
That is disgusting.... but helpful... its been at
least 500 years since this blood has stopped
travelling around the body.
OBERON
Well what does that mean?
THE DOCTOR
Somethings been speeding up Doctor Ratnyakas body
clock. But for what...think...think...
Suddenly, A SCIENTIST appears from the top of the
stairs. She is panicking. She frantically runs
towards OBERON.
SCIENTISTProfessor! Its horrible sir. Its happened again!
OBERON
Calm down woman...whats happened?
SCIENTIST
Its Selly professor. She went down the underwater
elevator to collect some research we sent off to the
scanner, but, when we called for her she never
replied.
She indicates a walkie talkie in her hand.
SCIENTIST
So Annah went to the elevator to find her and,
well...its gone. The whole elevator ripped off out
of the building. We cant get a reading from Selly.We think shes been killed.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
21/54
THE SCIENTIST starts to weep quietly. OBERON is
speechless, and then...he plucks up the courage to
talk
OBERON
There there, Ellae, Its fine. Its alright
He hugs ELLAE. Who leaves, in tears. Then, turns to
THE DOCTOR.
OBERON
How could this have happened? Selly! My Daughter...
And OBERON cant hold it in. He begins to cry.
OBERON
And her body will be lost forever... theres no way
down there now the elevators gone.
THE DOCTOR and AMY stare solemnly.
AMY
Doctor, isnt there anything we can do?
THE DOCTOR
Im not sure.
AMY
We have to do something. Look at him doctor!
OBERON is just standing there, weeping. THE DOCTOR
looks. Painfully. He is reminded of something...
THE DOCTOR
Right, thats it. Im not going to have you stand
there and cry. We are going to go down in the waters,
find Sellys body, find whats causing these murders.
And we are going to destroy whatever it is, off the
face of the universe!
OBERON and AMY stares at THE DOCTOR.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
22/54
OBERON
Doctor, we cant. Its much too dangerous. The
Jokonoch arent themselves. They could kill you.
THE DOCTOR
Maybe. But I need to get down there anyway.
Whatevers controlling these things is down at the
bottom of the Valley. And the only way to stop this
is if we go down there and find it.
AMY
But Doctor we dont know that...
THE DOCTOR
Oh dont we? Think ...Amy...Think... Back in that
feeding tunnel. What did that sign say?
CUT TO:
INT.FEEDING TUNNEL.DAY
CAMERA close up on the sign: AT 11:00 ALL FEEDING
TUNNELS ARE TO BE DISINFECTED FROM ANY HARMFUL GERMS
TO THE FISH. AT 12:00, THE JOKONOCH MUST BE
AUTOMATICALLY FED FROM THE CONTROL ROOM. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO BE IN THE CONTROL ROOM AT THIS POINT, AS
THIS POINT. FOR THE FOOD FOR THE JOKONOCH ARE STORED
IN THE FEEDING TUNNELS. AND THE FEEDING TUNNELS
AUTOMATICALLY OPEN SO THE FISH CAN EAT. THE FISH DO
EAT HUMANS.
CUT BACK TO:
INT. PRESERVATION CENTRE.DAY
AMY, looking confused at THE DOCTOR. She doesnt
remember
THE DOCTOR
It said that the fish eat humans.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
23/54
Now, my screwdriver here tells me that this blood is
at 1 degree Celsius. And that is the temperature of
the ocean here in the Valley. Am I right?
OBERON
Why yes! Actually you are!
THE DOCTOR turns serious.
THE DOCTOR
You said that the Jokonoch kept trying to steal the
bodies.
So, I conclude. The Jokonoch are basically cooking
the bodies, by speeding up their their body clocks.
Until theyre the right temperature. Then, they steal
the bodies from here so they can have a good old
feast at the bottom of the ocean floor!
AMY looks horrified.
AMY
Seriously! Jellyfish are eating humans. Thats just
sick!
OBERON
Doctor, if youre right. We need to go there and get
Selly. Im not having those Jellyfish eat her!
THE DOCTOR nods, hes far away...thinking...suddenly
he grins at AMY and OBERON.
THE DOCTOR
Right then, Amy, Obe-Ron-Kenobi! Lets get diving.
CUT TO:
EXT.VIEWING PLATFORM. DAY.
A large decking. 5 foot down is the ocean. A small
ladder winding down into the water. In front, the
open atmosphere. A burnt pink sky. Star Whales gently
drifting through the sky. Singing softly. . THEDOCTOR, AMY, and OBERON. Enter. All with diving suits
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
24/54
on. Helmets by their sides. AMY and THE DOCTOR
chatting.
AMY
Obe-Ron-Kenobi?
THE DOCTOR
Yes!
AMY
I just knew you were into Star Wars...
OBERON interrupts the two.
OBEBRON
Doctor, Miss Pond... good news and bad news. Weve
installed microphones and speakers in the helmets
so we can communicate once were under.
AMY
What about the Oxygen supply?
OBERON
Im afraid thats the bad news. We cant getsufficient levels of Oxygen needed to fit the
amount of time we need. Once were under, we can
only have 30 minutes until we run out.
AMY
But what if we run out before we get there?
OBERON
Well, well die!
Everyone just stands there. Staring at each other,
knowing of the challenge theyve got ahead of
them. They know its not going to be easy.
Suddenly, THE DOCTOR breaks the silence
THE DOCTOR
Well, its not the first time Ive been in a life
and death situation. I say we go for it!
OBERON slowly nods in agreement
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
25/54
OBERON
I would risk my life for Selly.
AMY then nods too, she knows she has to do this. THE
DOCTOR notices AMYS uncertainty and he calls outto comfort her.
THE DOCTOR
Amy, are you O.K
AMY puts on her helmet
AMY
As O.K as Ill ever be.
BEAT
AMY
Im fine, really. We need to do this, for Oberon.
THE DOCTOR smiles at AMY. AMY grins back.
AMY
Were going intergalactic diving!
THE DOCTOR
I know!
AMY starts to brighten up. THE DOCTOR turns to OBERON
THE DOCTOR
So professor! Anything extra we need to know?
OBERON
Yeah, whatever you do, stay away from the Jokonoch,
even if they arent under control. Even if they
wont suck the moisture from you, they can still
sting you. Intentionally or unintentionally, and
their stings are fatal.
THE DOCTOR
Cool Beans. Well, actually its not cool beans, but
there you go.
THE DOCTOR puts on his helmet, walks to the edge, andjumps into the water. Big Splash. Then, a pause.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
26/54
Soon, AMY runs up to the edge. Big Jump...shes
strangely enjoying this.
AMY
TALLEYHO!!
A big Splash and shes under too. OBERON looks at the
pink sun. Slowly setting behind the picture-esque
mountain tops. A slight breeze runs through his
thinning hair.
OBERON
Soon, Selly, Im coming to find you...
He glances. Still for a second. Then...he walks
to the edge. Small jump and...
CUT TO:
INT.OCEAN TANK.DUSK
A wide open blue space. A few rocky structures here
and there. But there are no plants. THE DOCTOR,
OBERON and AMY are looking about, getting used tothierh surroundings.
AMY
Doctor, I can hardly see anything. Its just blue.
With a few rocks. Which way do we go?
OBERON
The ruins will be down at the ocean floor. Through
the valley gorge. Its a mile down though, so
itll take us a while...
AMY looks confused.
AMY
But, the water pressure will blow our heads off. We
wont survive.
THE DOCTOR looks at AMY.
As if its obvious

THE DOCTOR
Its a differnt planet Amy. And its probably at
least 200,000 years in your future. Its pretty
likley that the diving suits will have
precautions against water pressure. I mean, thisis an aquarium.
AMY mutters under her breath.
AMY
I was only asking.
THE DOCTOR hears her. Looks stunned. But decides to
ignore her. He quickley changes the subject.
THE DOCTOR
Well... its time we get going.
He looks at his watch which he wrapped around his
diving suit.
THE DOCTOR
Its been a minuite. Every second not swimming is a
second wasted, come on.
THE DOCTOR starts swimming downwards. OBERON looks
towards AMY. He talks with a slight annoyance in
his voice
OBERON
Is he always like this... acting like hes boss.
AMY looks at him. Suspiciosly. She doesnt like
him...
She just turns and swims to catch up with THE DOCTOR.
OBERON sighs, and follows.
CUT TO:
INT. ABYSS LAIR.NIGHT

28/54
POV: an UNKOWN CREATURE, staring up from the bottom.
Faintly, we see THE DOCTOR, AMY, and OBERON.
Small specks, slowly moving high above. Something
laughs. A cold, quiet, creepy laugh
UNKOWN CREATURE
Ha! Theyre coming to find me.They want to get me for
the things Ive done. But I can see...oh... One
of these people wont make it. The Bravest... ha!
The one who thinks hell survive. The One whos
Seen danger many a time. Theyll not find me.
Not if I can help it. CALLING ALL JOKONOCH.
LOCATE THE INVADERS. FIND THEM...AND DISPOSE OF
THEM!
CUT TO:
Back to THE DOCTOR, AMY and OBERON. Swimming. Not
saying a word. They dont want to waste time.All
focused.
Then a small, Bang. Not too loud. But loud enoough so
that you could hear it through a helmet. THE
DOCTOR and AMY jerk up. OBERON is still
swimming.He hasnt noticed. AMY turns to THE
DOCTOR, but she keeps swimming.
AMY
Doctor, what was that?
THE DOCTOR
I dont know. But it was coming from below.
AMY
The Jokonoch?

8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
29/54
THE DOCTOR
Maybe. Look Amy, I need you to follow this
instruction cause its very important. If
whatever down there gets me or Oberon, you have
to get out. If anything happens to any of us.Just get out. It could be too much to handle on
your own.
BEAT
AMY
Oh, come on Doctor, Ill be fine. And nothings gonna
happen!
THE DOCTOR
I wouldnt be so sure...
And then a big flash! Its starting.
AMY
Doctor the flash! The Jokonoch are coming!
THE DOCTOR
O.K now it starts. Oberon, hurry up!
OBERON is laggin behind. THE DOCTOR and AMY stop.
OBERON reaches them.
THE DOCTOR
Right, Oberon, we need you to defend yourself. The
Jokonoch will be here soon.
OBERON
What? Why?
Another flash! OBERON jumps
OBERON
What is that flashing?
THE DOCTOR
Its the Jokonoch. Somehow whenever theyre about to
kill, it just happens.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
30/54
From down below, a big group of JOKONOCH appear.
Headng towards THE DOCTOR, AMY and OBERON. Heading
closer and closer
THE DOCTOR
Alright, not much we can do,Ive left my screwdriver
up on the surface, so were just gonna have to dodge
them.
OBERON
OH no we dont!
AMY and THE DOCTOR look at OBERON. He is holding a
small PISTOL.
OBERON
I kept this in the suit pockets. Just incase of
attack. If they get near me ill blow em up.
THE DOCTOR
NO! Oberon, thats not the way we do things, put the
gun down.
THE JOKONOCH are just getting nearer and nearer, but
THE DOCTOR doesnt realise, as he turns to speak with
OBERON. Another flash.
AMY
Doctor?
THE DOCTOR holds up a finger, geusturing AMY to be
quite. He doesnt look at her, still looking at
OBERON
THE DOCTOR
Wait Amy... look. Violence is not how we resort to
things. I know your angry that your daughter died. I
can relate. So did mine. My whole species.
While THE DOCTOR is speaking, OBERON is getting more
and more angry, Flashes are coming and going at
terrific rate, now. And OBERON cant hold it in anylonger.

OBERON
Oh, cant you just shut up! With your pep talks, when
you really just want to impress me!
THE DOCTOR
...I was only trying to help...
OBERON
OH! And look at him now, When someones inferior to
him hes speechless.
While OBERON speaks, A Jokonoch creeps up behind him.
THE DOCTOR sees, yet stays calm. He just waits. And
then...
THE DOCTOR
Oberon, just one thing. All this time, youve been
Rabbiting on. What you havent realised is, is that
theres a Jokonoch behind you...
And OBERON turns around. He screams! As one big flash
happens he gets stung. OBERON falls down through the
water into the unkown. THE JOKONOCH slowly drift
away. As if theyve got what they were looking for.
THE DOCTOR and AMY are still. Shocked, they look at
eachother... then...
AMY
Well... I didnt like him much anyway... I guess its
just you and me now.
THE DOCTOR still doesnt talk. Hes hurt at what
OBERON said to him.
THE DOCTOR
Lets carry on.
They keep on swimming.

CUT TO:
INT.ABYSS LAIR.NIGHT
A huge. Rocky cave like the size of a cathedral. An
underwater shrine. Musky sea bed covered with dull
seaweed. What looks like a gigantic rock, buried into
the ground, is sprerad accros a section of it. Its
big. At least the size of a tennis court.
OBERON falls down and hits the seabed. Bubbles fly
out evreywhere. He opens his eyes.
OBERON
Im alive! How can I be alive? Those Jokonoch stung
me!
A subtle bang! OBERON jerks up.
OBERONWhat now?
OBERON listens, but nothing...
OBERON
Nothing...how odd. Id better try and find Selly. Im
at the bottom of the sea, so she should be somewhere
nearby.
Another bang! OBERON definetly hears it ths time.
OBERON
Alright! I know someones there. Show yourself!
No answer. OBERON tries to make what ever made the
noise symaptise with him.
OBERON
Ive lost my daughter, she could be dead...plese,show yourself.

8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep

Suddennly, a rasping, hissing female voice is heard.
The voice of the UNKOWN CREATURE.
UNKOWN CREATURE
Oh, alright, then Im the one who killed Selly! Who
killed evreyone here!And if its Selly you came to
find, then thats easy.
And suddenly, the frail body of SELLY is teleported
next to OBERON.
OBERON gasps!
OBERON
Selly! SELLY!
OBERON touches his daughters face. Tears in his eyes.
OBERON
How? Why did you do this?
UNKOWN CREATURE
All in good time. Now. I havent just summoned you to
have a nice chat, oh no!
The UNKNOWN CREATURE giggles, slyly.
UNKOWN CREATURE
I need you to help me with my plan.
OBERON, slightly reluctantly, asks a question.
OBERON
And what plan might that be?
UNKOWN CREATURE
Again, all in good time. Now im going to reveal
myself to you. Try not to scream.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep

And the large rock-like thing starts to move. CAMERA
behind the figure. The UNKOWN CREATURE, gets bigger
and bigger and bigger...
OBERON screams.
CUT TO:
INT.GORGE.NIGHT
The blue darkens, and the rock walls form a large
gorge. THE DOCTOR and AMY are swimming towards it.
THE DOCTOR
Amy, were at the gorge.
AMY
Yes, doctor, I can see that.
THE DOCTOR
Right. But I stand by what I said. If I get hurt,
leave
He Checks his watch
THE DOCTOR
We have 10 minuites to do this. And I cant have you
getting hurt. I need to keep you safe.
AMY
Whatever, come on.
She pulls his arm and they start swimming into the
gorge. The water gets darker. Untill its just black.
AMY
Doctor, its so dark down here.
THE DOCTOR
Oh! Im prepared. Here, I brought a gravity globe.
And...there!
THE DOCTOR takes out a GRAVITY GLOBE. He taps it a
couple of times and it lights up. He lets it hang inthe water. The light reveals that the gorge has been
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
35/54
carved into a giant cavern. Right on the floor, at
the centre of the seabed. Far below, is SELLY, just
lying there. Alone.
AMYDoctor, its Selly!
THE DOCTOR
We need to get her, quickly. Even if her fathers
dead, we should bring her back to the surface...
THE DOCTOR and AMY swim far down so theyre by SELLY.
THE DOCTOR
Amy, if you should get her back up. I dont feel
comfortable here. Somthings not right.
AMY nodds, she doesnt feel comfortable either.
AMY
Yeah
AMY is just about to take SELLY when OBERON appears
from a large crack in the rock face.
OBERON
NO!! Leave Selly alone.
THE DOCTOR
Oberon!
AMY is annoyed. She shouts out, sarcastcally.
AMY
Oh great! Hes alive!
OBERON hears. But merley takes it as a funny joke.
OBERON
Thank you for your observation Miss Pond.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
36/54
I almost liked you when I met you. But after we got
in the water, I realised just how impossible it is
for you to be liked!
AMYShut it Gandalf!
OBERON ignores her.
OBERON
I rest my case. But, I no longer require any of your
help. I can bring Selly back to life. With the person
who killed her. Who killed all the people here. Come
on Doctor. Come and see my new friend.
AMY
New friend. Id like to see that! Go on then, show us
your new friend
OBERON indicates the large crack from where he came.AMY suddenly looks scared. She remembers something.
OBERON
Shes in there.
AMY
Doctor is that...?
THE DOCTOR knows what shes talking about. He
interrupts her.
THE DOCTOR
I dont think so, we wiped it out. It couldnt
possibly be here.
OBERON
What in gods name are you on about? My mistress is
through here.
AMY laughs.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
37/54
AMY
OHHHH! So shes not your friend. Shes your mistress
youre her servant!
Suddenly, the UNKOWN CREATURES voice is heard from
inside that crack.
UNKOWN CREATURE
Doctor?
THE DOCTOR instantly turns round. He knows that
voice.
THE DOCTOR
It cant be.
AMY
Who is it?
THE DOCTOR
That voice sounds like Queen Maryae.
AMYAnd whos that?
THE DOCTOR
I should have known.
Queen Maryae, Amy, Queen Maryae is the Queen of the
Jokonoch. The first member of the Jokonoch species.
She was broadcast all over the universe when you
humans invaded their planet. Some big news report on
the peace between the Jokonoch and the humans
Shes lived for thousands of years. Some say shes
immortal... I visited her planet once. I fought her,
then, the only one of her kind. When we came here I
thought her race must have got better. Maybe become
nobler. More, respectable. But no. There just as
SHABBY AS EVER!
AMY
But why would she be doing this. I mean, I thoughtthe humans and the Jokonoch got on.
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
38/54
THE DOCTOR
They did. So we need to find out why The Jokonoch are
killing people.
OBERON looks at THE DOCTOR and AMY. Before he gets a
chance to speak. QUEEN MARYAE beckons from within the
crack.
QUEEN MARYAE
Oh Good-o! You recognise me. As I recognise you, from
the forgotten age of Desabae, do you remember. Those
stars, you put them out. One by one. You left me out
in the cold of the horse head nebula. I nearly died.
But then, I never die. And I never will.
THE DOCTOR stares in horror. AMY looks at him, shes
never seen him this scared before.
THE DOCTOR
Thats it, I need to take a look at this queen.
And he swims through the crack. AMY goes after him
CUT TO:
INT.ABYSS LAIR.NIGT
THE DOCTOR and AMY enter. OBERON follows after them,
slowly. THE DOCTOR stares up at QUEEN MARYAE.
A Huge jellyfish. (Almost as big as the rocky cavern.
At least the size of a double Decker bus) in which
she is in. And yet, despite her size she looks
frail. Shrivelled up, and slumped against the rock
walls.
THE DOCTOR
Oh..! Changed a bit since I saw you last! Bit
smaller, bit older. More fragile.
AMY stares up too. She is in awe!
AMY
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
39/54
Doctor, she looks like shes dying, cant we help
her?
THE DOCTOR
Amy, this person ordered the murder of Selly. Of all
the people who died here. I cant just go and help
her without doing something.
THE DOCTOR heads for QUEEN MARYAE.
THE DOCTOR
Right then Queenie, before we get started on the
consequences, what turned you to killing? This is a
whole planet teaming with the human race.
A Marvellous, brilliant species. And you were killing
them. What for? What was the point?
QUEEN MARYAE
We are an endangered species, Doctor.
THE DOCTOR
Yeah, got that bit from the leaflet thanks. But
whats that got to do with it?
QUEEN MARYAE
And who do you think made us endangered?
THE DOCTOR
You tell me!
QUEEN MARYAE sighs a deep sigh.
QUEEN MARYAE
Doctor, when the humans came to our world. They shot
us. They hunted us down.
THE DOCTOR
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
40/54
No, because all those news reports said you lived in
harmony with the humans.
QUEEN MARYAE
Hmmm, Its no surprise who wrote them then!
All this time, AMY has been listening hard
AMY
Of Course!
THE DOCTOR looks at Amy.
THE DOCTOR
What?
AMY
Theyre doing this for revenge. We invaded their
world. We killed some of them. They probably hate
being here in this aquarium. Being stared at, time
and time again. Like a Zoo. It must be torture.
AMY pauses, she thinks. She can almost sympathise the
queen.
AMY
Now theyve come to give us a taste of their own
medicine.
QUEEN MARYAE
Oh, you chose this one well. She can work things out.
Empathise. She could be of use to us. Come over here,
girl. You dont want to be with that doctor over
there. Come and help me, and I can show you all of
the universe
AMY
Um...no thanks. Ive got that already
She glances at THE DOCTOR
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
41/54
AMY
But, one thing I dont get though. Why were you
eating the humans? What was that for?
QUEEN MARYAE
Oh, thats all part of our plan
THE DOCTOR interrupts
THE DOCTOR
What plan?
QUEEN MARYAE
Well, oh alright, Ill tell you.
Im not feeding the Jokonoch; Im replacing their
blood with the human blood from the bodies. If the
Jokonoch pass as humanoids to the basic security
system, then we have access to the planets emergency
advances. One of which is Detonation. Were planning
on blowing up the planet. I have set a delta field
around myself. I will fly safely through the
explosion. Not even scratched.
AMY and THE DOCTOR look at each other in shock.
THE DOCTOR
You what? Destroy that planet. No... Not while Im
around. Because you see. Thats what I do... if you
remember, I save planets. And Im not gonna let my
record of a lifetime be broken. Not today. You hear
me out. This planet is not gonna change today. Its
going to sit in the sky. As stunning as ever. With or
without the Jokonoch on it.
AMY
Whens this destroy the planet thing due to happen?
QUEEN MARYAE
But I really dont want to spoil you for the big
show!
AMY
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
42/54
Go on, you cant even resist a little teaser?
QUEEN MARYAE
Oh, go on then. Probably in about... two minutes.
THE DOCTOR looks up in horror
QUEEN MARYAE
Yes, Doctor. As we speak, The Jokonoch are advancing
to the security system. You cant exactly stop me.
And if you try. Oberon will stop you.
OBERON speaks up
THE DOCTOR
Oberon stops this! She wont save Selly. No one can
bring the dead back to life. Just hope over to Amy
and I. Maryaes not safe.
OBERONBut Doctor, If I transfer my blood to the Jokonoch,
like she asked me, Queen Maryae promises Selly and I
the defeat of Olympia.
THE DOCTOR stares at OBERON.
THE DOCTOR
What? Olympia!? Thats not real. Its just one of
those things parents make up to scare the children.
QUEEN MARYAE intrudes.
QUEEN MARYAE
But you dont know, do you! You havent yet been
there! Oh, Doctor, you have yet to stare hell in the
eye. Olympia is real. It is coming. The secrets that
which do lie in the garden of eternity will be
unlocked. And you and Miss Pond had better be ready.
AMY
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
43/54
Doctor, what does she mean, whets Olympia?
THE DOCTOR just looks ahead. Towards QUEEN MARYAE
hes worried. And then...
THE DOCTOR
Shhh! Did you hear that Amy, did you hear that?
AMY
Yeah, like a sort of, gasping.
OBERON
Yeah I heard it.
QUEEN MARYAE
What? I didnt hear a thing...
THE DOCTOR stands thinking for a minute. He works it
out!
THE DOCTOR
Oh No!
AMYWhat?
THE DOCTOR
All the time weve been stuck down here. Weve both
forgotten one very important thing
AMY
Whats that?
THE DOCTOR
That noise. Its the sound the oxygen tube makes when
it starts to run out of air...
AMY is horrified. She starts panicking, yet again.
AMY
What? Well.. Were gonna die! Lets get out.
OBERON
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
44/54
I am not dying today. Sorry your majesty, but, I have
to save myself.
AMY
Never mind about you. Doctor weve got to go.
THE DOCTOR
Amy, you go up. Im a time Lord. We can hold our
breaths for five minutes longer than humans.
AMY looks at THE DOCTOR angrily. But she knows that
he needs to stay there. She swims out of the cavern.
OBERON follows.
CUT TO:
INT. TRENCH.NIGHT
AMY and OBERON shoot up out of the trench. AMY in
front. OBERON lagging behind.
CUT TO:
INT.ABBYS LAIR.NIGHTTHE DOCTOR is left alone with QUEEN MARYAE, as he
talks. He struggles to breathe more and more.
THE DOCTOR
So... Whats with the flashing lights then? Ive
never seen that sort of warning when Jokonoch kill.
Where did that come from?
QUEEN MARYAE
We dont know. After we were stolen from our planet
and taken here. We were given the gift of the flash.
It was none of our concern to ask where it came from.
It is not our technology.
THE DOCTOR looks concerned.
BEAT
THE DOCTOR
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
45/54
Right. Anyway, Im gonna have to give you one chance
to save yourself. Please. Stop!
QUEEN MARYAE
And just why would I want to do that?The humans killed us. And when we were taken to this
planet we knew we had to do something. This is our
only chance to set things right. Our only chance to
avenge our lost ones.
THE DOCTOR is touched. He looks sympathetically at
QUEEN MARYAE. He shakes his head, back on track.
THE DOCTOR
No! If youre not gonna end this then Ill have to.
CUT TO:
INT.OCEAN TANK.NIGHT
AMY and OBERON are swimming faster than ever now. AMY
has run out of air. Her face turning pale blue. She
knows shes gonna die
CUT TO:
INT.ABYYS LAIR.NIGHT
QUEEN MARYAE
And just how will you do that?
THE DOCTOR thinks. He is almost stuck. Then...
A large bang! And then a holographic video screen
pops out in the water. Slowly bobbing. On it, the
JOKONOCH are floating beside a large control panel.
Various wires hanging out in different places. A
small compartment, like a sealed door, is slap bang
in the centre. QUEEN MARYAE smiles.
QUEEN MARYAE
You see, doctor. The Jokonoch just need to open the
compartment pod. And they will have access to thedetonation settings. In about one minute, this planet
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
46/54
will be no more. So I repeat. How will you save the
day?
THE DOCTOR
I know how. Theres always been a way. But I neverthought it would come to this.
THE DOCTOR looks solemn. He knows what he has to do.
CUT TO:
INT.OCEAN TANK.NIGHT
AMY nearly suffocating, OBERON behind her. Theyre
both so close. So Very close to the surface. Nearly
there. And...
CUT TO:
EXT. VIEWING PLATFORM.DAY
AMYs head reaches the surface. She pops up. Gasping
for breath. She whips off her helmet and takes in a
breath of air. She slowly calms down and waits forOBERON. Nothing. AMY looks worried. She dives back
down, no helmet.
CUT TO:
INT.OCEAN TANK.NIGHT
AMY sees OBERON. Slowly drifting down. Hes not made
it.
AMY doesnt want to do this. But she knows she has
to. She grabs OBERONs body and brings him up with
him. To the surface
CUT TO:
INT.ABYYS LAIR.NIGHT
THE DOCTOR
I cant save them. The Jokonoch are nearly there, Iwont have enough time to stop them.

QUEEN MARYAE
And so, this planet will burn!
THE DOCTORYeah... but, what is that large looking button on the
side of this cave.
THE DOCTOR points to a large button, imprinted on it
are the words DELTA FIELD.
QUEEN MARYAE
Thats nothing. Dont touch that.
THE DOCTOR
Queen Maryae. If that says the words Delta field I
think its very likely that that is the button that
turns on and off the delta field which you said would
protect you from the explosion. What do you think I
would do if I was standing next to that button?
QUEEN MARYAELet me guess. Turn it off.
THE DOCTOR
Precisely, and oh, look! I am standing right next to
the button. Im really, very sorry. Maryae. But, you
too are going to die. Along with the whole of this
planet.
QUEEN MARYAE is in horror! She realises her mistake.
QUEEN MARYAE
No...
CUT TO:

OBERONs body lies flat against on the floor of theviewing platform. AMY who has the diving suit off-

everyone.
CUT TO:
INT.ABYSS LAIR.NIGHT
THE DOCTOR slams his fist down on the button.
He looks up at Queen Maryae. He knows she wont have
time to turn the button back on. He looks at his
watch.
THE DOCTOR
Thirty seconds. Theres just one thing left to do.
THE DOCTOR puts his finger to a speaker implanted in
his helmet.
CUT TO:
INT. VALLEY LAB.NIGHT
SCIENTISTS are working. All hustle and bustle. AMYruns in. She runs up to ELLAE
AMY
Do you know where I can find the Emergency advances?
ELLAE opens her mouth but a sound interrupts.
Its THE DOCTORS voice, OOV. Hes warning them of
something.
THE DOCTOR
Alright, Amy, I know you can hear me, and I need you
to do something. I cant stop the Jokonoch; theyre
too far away for me to do anything. But, Ive turned
off the queens delta field. She wont be protected.
AMY is anticipating. She knows in the back of her
mind what THE DOCTORs going to say.
THE DOCTOR
-
8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
49/54
This planet is going to go. In about twenty seconds.
So um basically. Brace yourselves.
THE DOCTORs voice ends. AMY looks around in shock.
She isnt ready.
AMY
Right. EVREYONE HOLD ONTO SOMETHING. Were going
up...
The Scientists all grab onto something. They arent
ready either. AMY is standing next to ELLAE. She is
crying.
AMY
Its O.K, You might not die. Well go through this
together, eh?
ELLAE looks up at AMY. Scared.
ELLAEIts not that.
I know who you are. Amy Pond. I saw you in the garden
of Eternity. What are you? How could you do that to
us...?
AMY looks at ELLAE. Frightened.
BEAT
Then, AMY turns away from ELLAE and speaks up.
AMY
Ready?
And then...

EXT.FX SHOT.

8/9/2019 DOCTOR WHO Valley of the Deep
50/54
The beautiful Blue Planet which is hanging in the sky
suddenly explodes. Masses of rock fly all over. Water
shoots everywhere,
Suddenly. AMY is drifting slowly around. Scarred.Bruised. Her face is half burned. Blacky brownish.
But she is still alive. She is searching for the
TARDIS. Or THE DOCTOR.
Far off, THE DOCTOR is drifting too. He has a few
scratches. On his face. The glass from his helmet
shattered. But, hes more or less unharmed. He looks
around him. At all the destruction he caused. Tears
in his eyes.
And then... he sees the TARDIS. Dented. Paint worn
out to reveal a brownish colour. It looks burnt and
mistreated.
THE DOCTOR gives a sad smile. And he drifts in the
direction of his machine. He opens the door and
clambers into it.
CUT TO:
INT.TARDIS INTERIOR.
THE DOCTOR slams the door shut. He walks over to the
TARDIS console. Soaking wet. He turns on the engine
and fiddles with the controls on the console.
CUT TO:
EXT.FX SHOT.
AMY still drifting. Looking around at all the
screaming. She sees OBERON floating. Dead. She looks
painfully at him. He wasnt nice to her. But he
didnt deserve to die.
Then, THE TARDIS spins into view. Amy gives a smile.
But it hurts her face. So she stops.
THE TARDIS doors open. And THE DOCTOR stands there.
Looking at AMY sadly.
AMY makes her way to the TARDIS and climbs in. Sheshuts the doors.

CUT TO:
INT.TARDIS INTERIOR.
THE DOCTOR gives AMY a big hug. A tear runs down
AMYs face. THE DOCTOR looks at her.
THE DOCTOR
We need to get you cleaned up...
AMY smiles. THE DOCTOR runs up the stairs and out of
sight.
CUT TO:
INT.TARDIS CUPBOARD.
A small circular cupboard. Large roundels encircle
the room, A small green first aid box lies on the
floor amidst other clutter.
THE DOCTOR enters. Grabs the box and leaves.
CUT TO:
INT.TARDIS INTERIOR.
THE DOCTOR runs back to AMY with the green box.
THE DOCTOR
I knew I had this somewhere. Should fix up things a
little.
And he opens up the green box. Hordes of small yellow
dots, like fireflies spread out around the room. They
are NANOGENES.
THE DOCTOR
Nanogenes! For so Small, robots, which can mend any
damaged cell in anybody in the universe. Go on then.
Attend to her.
THE NANOGENES fly to AMY. And cover her face. A fewseconds later she emerges. As good as new.

AMY still has tears in her eyes. She goes to theTARDIS and opens the door. Outside. Bodies float
around, dead. Surviving star whales sing whislt A
couple of survivors scream for help.
AMY
But why didnt you know. I mean, youve been here
before. You know your history. So why didnt you know
this planet would be destroyed.
THE DOCTOR
Time can be rewritten. This timeline wasnt fixed.
Anything could happen...
AMY looks out. She sees QUEEN MARYAE lying on a slab
of rock. Dying.
AMY
Doctor look!
THE DOCTOR runs to the door and sees QUEEN MARYAE.
Slight compassion in his eyes.
AMY
Doctor she could just about fit in here. You said
you have a swimming pool. Couldnt we help her and
keep her there...
THE DOCTOR nods. He shouts to QUEEN MARYAE
THE DOCTOR
Maryae. I can save you. You want to live, just hop in
here. You can live your life again. A new Jokonoch.
QUEEN MARYAE laughs a slow. Painful laugh.
QUEEN MARYAE
And why would I want to come with you?

53/54
Doctor, I am dying. Leave me to it. And as you go
frolicking about the universe just think about us.
The race you killed. Our species will go down in
books. And those books will talk of how a travelling
doctor made us extinct.You say you save planets, doctor. But what of this
one? You could have saved it. You should have. And if
you look out. Youll see all those races, burning
because of you. All because he couldnt save that
planet.
THE DOCTOR is getting angry. He feels very guilty of
what he let happen. As QUEEN MARYAE finally stills
for the last time. AMY shuts the door for him.
AMY
Dont listen to her. It wasnt possible to save them.
Everyone makes mistakes.
THE DOCTOR
Yeah, but I still let it happen. If Id of just been
earlier, I might have had a chance...
THE DOCTOR leans against the TARDIS console. AMY sits
on the car seat.
AMY
Doctor, you cant let it get to you.
THE DOCTOR just looks at AMY, he is very sad.
AMY
Not meaning to change the subject, but back in the
science lab. That scientist. Said she knew who I was.
She said something about a garden of Eternity...
And back in that cave. Queen Maryae said something
about Olympia, doctor what did she mean? Whats
Olympia
THE DOCTOR knows. But he doesnt want to say.

THE DOCTOR
I dont know.
And he walks around the console, slams down a lever.
CUT TO:
INT.FX SHOT.
Amongst the lumps of rock that was once Enjongia. The
TARDIS is floating. Whilst it dematerialises. The
Nanogenes twist around it. Fixing it. Once gone.
The CAMERA pans out. To show the scale of the
explosion. All these lumps of rock floating around.
Hoards of different fish dying. Other tourists
drifting, dead. Star Whales singing a sad song of
despair.
As the song continues QUEEN MARYAE OOV. narrates
the final lines.
QUEEN MARYAE
And so, The Doctor carried on. Not daring to look
back. But all who died here, hope that he hangs hishead in shame. For his battle is not yet won.
Olympia is coming. And we all know what that will
bring, death upon the whole of the universe.
