Doctor Who: Future (season five)

1.X - Angel On The Tree

The TARDIS thrusts through the sky.
In the TARDIS:
The Doctor is currently regenerating.
Past Doctor: Well! This has been a long time coming! I wonder who I'll be next?! I hate not knowing! Good luck me!
She flashes & a man with black hair & tanned skin is now stood in her place.
The Doctor: Wow! Woohoo! That was fun!
He looks at the TARDIS console room, it is burning.
-Oh dear. That is not good, I'd better fix that.
He pulls a lever, it sparks, he flies back as the TARDIS begins to fall out of the sky.
-Brace yourself Susan! No, wait Barbara, no still not quite right! Victoria? Brigadier! Liz! Sarah-Jane!
He slaps his head.
-Margaret? Romana?! Nyssa?! Marc? Roz? Sam? Rose?! Donna?' Valerie? Yaz?! Cleo? Ruby? No! Leanne! That's it! Brace yourself Leanne! Leanne?
He looks down.
-Oh yeah... you left, you left after we found that group of cheetah people on Hampstead heath.
The TARDIS comes crashing down, The Doctor is knocked unconscious.
In a garden:
The TARDIS crashes down, a boy comes running out.
George: Mum! Mum!
A woman with blonde hair, light skin & blue eyes runs out wearing a shiny white dress with a fur coat.
Leanne: I don't believe it... He's come back, it's him! It's The Doctor! Thank You Santa!
She laughs, a woman wearing a dress with curly hair in a bun, with light skin comes out.
River: What is it, dear?
Leanne: Melody! It's him! It's The Doctor! The Doctor is back for Christmas!
River: Oh I can well believe it.
The Doctor stumbles out.
Leanne: I don't understand... that's not The Doctor.
River: I wouldn't be so sure about that, Leanne.

DOCTOR WHO
ANGEL ON THE TREE
WRITTEN BY RB WILSON
In the house:
The Doctor is laying on the sofa with the blanket.
George: Is it definitely him, mum?
Leanne: I don't know, darling, why don't you open your Christmas Eve box?
George: Ok!
Leanne smiles & drinks from a glass of wine, River joins her with a glass of eggnog.
River: Merry Christmas, Leanne.
Leanne: Merry Christmas, Melody.
They kiss, George screams, Leanne turns to see an angel tree topper on the floor.
George: My head!
Leanne: What the hell? That angel tree topper just fell on his head! That's the second time that's happened in a week!
River frowns & looks at the angel topper.
River: Why don't you take him into the kitchen? Check that it didn't cut his head.
Leanne: Good idea, come on darling.
Leanne walks George into the kitchen, River puts her glass down.
River: I know what you are & when my husband finally decides to pull himself together, you will be sorry.
The Doctor suddenly rises, River gasps.
The Doctor: River?
He falls back to sleep.
River: Idiot.
She turns to the gap in the kitchen wall.
-How is he?
Leanne puts her head through the gap.
Leanne: He's ok! Maple wasn't under the tree when the angel fell was she?
River: No she's over there on the stairs.
River points at Maple, she meows.
Leanne: Maybe there's just a twig or something stopping it from staying on.
River: Maybe.
Leanne: Anything from him?
River: He sat up a second ago & well, now he's back in a coma of some kind.
Leanne gets on her knees & holds The Doctor's hands.
Leanne: Doctor? It's Leanne? Leanne Frost, you remember me right? You saved me from an Ice Warrior invasion at Winter Wonderland, we fought The Master, Met The Corsair, Stopped a Quark invasion on Gallifrey, helped Jo Jones discover a thought-to-be-extinct species of snake, Helped Gwen Cooper & Rhys Williams with that Auton invasion, Met that version of you in a unicorn vomit coat with that American girl who was called Peri & then we said goodbye on Hampstead Heath after helping The Cheetah People.
The Doctor's eyes open.
The Doctor: L-Leanne!
Leanne: Your awake!
She hugs him.
The Doctor: R-River?
River: Oh no.
Leanne: That's Melody!
The Doctor: Melody Pond... or best known as River Song, my wife.
Leanne: What?! You told me you were getting a divorce!
The Doctor: What?
River: I-
Leanne: Who the hell are you?!
River: Ok... I need to tell you what I'm doing here.
Leanne: Go on then! Otherwise the eggnog goes in the bin!
River: I was tracking a lone Weeping Angel.
Leanne: A weeping angel?
The Doctor: A quantum locked being, like the Teraphins, like we met on Tera-Phina.
Leanne: Oh... I see.
River: & I tracked it down to your home, the house of a Christmas isle in a little shop called 'The Range'.
Leanne: I don't understand.
River: The angel shrunk itself down into the size of a tree topper specifically so that someone would take it & allow it into their home to gain power.
Leanne: You mean that angel on my tree is... alien?! It fell on my son's head, twice!
River: That wasn't an accident or a coincidence, I'm sorry.
Leanne: It wanted to hurt my little boy!
She gasps.
-So what do we do? How do we get out of this mess?
River: I vote put it in the blender.
The Doctor: Don't be stupid.
River: Any other suggestions?
The Doctor: Minds a bit foggy from regeneration... um... black hole! I could bung it into a black hole!
River: But the TARDIS... she's fried.
The Doctor: Ah.
River: Leanne?
Leanne: We could bury it?
The Doctor: Yes! If we bury it deep enough we could bury it! Ok, Leanne I need the clingfilm, tinfoil, parchment, a sandwich bag & the strongest Tupperware box you can find.
Leanne: On it!
She runs into the kitchen.
River: You think this'll work?
The Doctor: Hopefully.
Leanne runs in & dumps a load of stuff onto the table, The Doctor picks up the weeping angel & wraps it in clingfilm, then wraps it in parchment, then wraps it in tinfoil, then wraps it in a sandwich bag.
The Doctor: I need a shoebox & a metal box, Leanne runs to a cupboard under the stairs & pulls out an old shoebox, a steel box & a suitcase.
-Even better!
The Doctor puts the wrapped up angel into the shoebox.
-Must be Christmas!
The Doctor puts it into the steel box & then places it carefully in the suitcase.
-Now we bury it.
In the garden;
The Doctor puts a shovel down & throws the suitcase into the ground.
Leanne: Will that stop it? Would it not be safer to keep it in the TARDIS?
The Doctor: A weeping angel was in my TARDIS once before... let's just it didn't end well.
The Doctor begins pouring dirt over the suitcase.
Silent Night by Sinead O Connor plays.
In the house:
The Doctor, River, Leanne & George sit around the table eating, they laugh, The Doctor & River hug.
Silent night stops playing.
The TARDIS chimes.
The Doctor: The TARDIS! She's better! Leanne, thank you for letting me rejuvenate here.
Leanne: No worries, thank you for saving George & I from that thing.
The Doctor smiles.
The Doctor: Goodbye, Leanne.
Leanne: Farewell, Doctor.
The Doctor leaves.
River: I'm sorry, Leanne.
Leanne: Don't worry about it.
River: But I do, I had to string you along so that I could get to that angel, I'm sorry for that, it was wrong.
Leanne: Please, River. Just go.
River walks towards the TARDIS.
River: So what's next for you then?
The Doctor: I don't know, I should find a new travelling partner, it's not good for me - being alone.
River: Look no further.
The Doctor: What?
River: Take me away, Hubby!
She laughs as she enters the TARDIS.
-Wow! I hate what you've done with the place!
The Doctor waves to Leanne & George through the window, they wave back.
In the TARDIS:
The Doctor closes the doors & turns to see a long bridge leading towards the console, he looks over the railings to see stairs, the colour scheme is pink, white & green.
The Doctor: Amazing!
River: So, then-
The Doctor: So, then, what?
River: Where to?
The Doctor: Everywhere.
He pulls a lever.

COMING SOON:
Becca: My name is Becca Greenwood. I am 23 years old, raised in Gospel Oak, North West London. My mother is Eva Middleton, My father - Chris Greenwood, my brother Alex Greenwood.
The Doctor: So, Becca Hayton, hows about we see the universe?
Becca: I've been seeing this man.
Nat: If you see The Hatman, run.
The Doctor: I can feel something, Becca.
Becca: What kind of something?
The Doctor: A presence of evil.
Becca dances.
River puts her finger on her lips.
The Cyberleader screams.
Becca screams.
River fires her gun.
The silhouette of a man in a hat appears at the end of Becca's bed.
A Bird flies at The Doctor.
