I don't own Merlin or the other BBC TV programme mentioned here.

Mordred POV

__________________________

The blue box appears in front of me. I stare, amazed, as a man steps out. He is tall and weedy, with brown hair. He is wearing very strange clothing, including brown woven trousers and a red bow around his neck. A strange red hat is on his head.  

"Who on earth are you?", I ask him, too stunned to draw my sword. 

"Mordred, aren't you? Sound a bit Welsh. Anyway, I am the Doctor" 

He turns to the box. 

"River! Clara! I've done it! We're in Camelot!" 

Two women emerge from the box. How does it hold them all?  

The older woman has crazily curly blonde hair, the other dark-haired and wide-eyed. I feel a pressing need to ask the Doctor a question. 

"What in the name of sanity have you got on your head?" 

He looks at me, suprised.  

"It's a fez. I wear one now. Fezzes are cool." 

The older woman sighs. She takes a metallic thing out and points it at the strange fez-thing. With a bang, the fez-thing is destroyed. The Doctor is shocked.  

"River! My fez! My fez!" 

He looks devastated.  

"Who are you, then? Arthur?", the dark-haired girl asks.  

"No", I say. "I'm Mordred. Arthur got rabies and died." 

"Are you Welsh?", River says to me. 

"Welsh? What's that?", I reply.  

"Nationality. You've got a bit of an accent." 

She sees my confused look. 

"Never mind."

"Yes, they say they're time-travellers. Came in a blue box. No Morgana, I haven't been in The Rising Sun!" 

The Doctor steps forward.  

"He's right, we are time-travellers. And are you Irish?" 

Morgana looks confused.  

"Irish? What's that?" 

"Nationality. You've got an accent. Never mind. Anyway, we tracked a signal from the Cybus HQ to here. You haven't noticed anyone with strange flashing things in their ears, have you?" 

Morgana and I shake our heads.  

"And you're supposed to rule the place! Ignoring the population! Honestly!", River says.  

"These earbuds- they transform people into Cybermen, the brain of a person transferred into a suit of armour. We think you've got some in your city", the Doctor adds. 

I blink.  

As does Morgana.  

I didn't understand a word.
