Story 101

Ordinary world- 

[DVD Store]
(Banto's DVD Store - new, second hand and rare. A bearded man at the counter is watching a shoot out on a film on the television fastened to the wall.)
SALLY: Excuse me, I'm looking for Lawrence Nightingale.
BANTO: Through the back.

Disruption -  [Wester Drumlin]

(On a dark wet night, a woman climbs over a lovely set of wrought iron gates with a Danger Keep Out Unsafe Structure London County Council notice on them and goes up the gravel driveway to the big house. She breaks in through a boarded up window and takes photographs of the plastic covered chandeliers resting on the floors, and other pieces of furniture. 


Conflict - Then she notices the letter B peeking from underneath a piece of peeling wallpaper. She pulls at it to reveal the words Beware the weeping angel. Underneath that is Oh, and duck! Really, duck! Sally Sparrow duck, now. So she ducks just before the window behind her is broken by a thrown pot, which bounces off the wall and breaks on the floor. The light of her torch reveals a statue outside, a winged angel with its hands covering its face. She goes back to the wall and pulls off more paper to reveal -
Love from the Doctor (1969)

Climax - LARRY: They're trying to get in!

SALLY: Well, hurry up then!
(As the Tardis rocks to and fro, Larry gets the DVD into the slot. The time rotor starts up.)
LARRY: What's happening?
(Just the Tardis itself dematerialises.)
SALLY: Oh, my God, it's leaving us behind. Doctor, no! You can't!
(They can see the Angels that are around the Tardis, arms and mouths wide and not covering their eyes.)

Denouement -SALLY: Doctor!

(The Tardis is gone.)
SALLY: Look at them! Quick, look at them!
LARRY: I don't think we need to. He tricked them, The Doctor tricked them. They're looking at each other. They're never going to move again.

Resolution -  [DVD store]

(One year later.)
LARRY: Can you mind the shop? I'm just nipping next door for some milk. SALLY: Yeah. No worries.
LARRY: What's this?
SALLY: Nothing.
(She has a folder containing the conversation transcript, Kathy's photographs and letter, and also a picture of an Angel covering its eyes.)
LARRY: Sally, can't you let it go?
SALLY: Of course I can't let it go.
LARRY: This is over.
SALLY: How did the Doctor know where to write the words on the wall? How could he get a copy of the transcript? Where did he get all that information from? LARRY: Look, some things you never find out. And that's okay.
SALLY: No, it isn't.
LARRY: Ever think this might be getting in the way of other things?
SALLY: We just run a shop together. That's all it is, just a shop.
LARRY: Anyway, milk. Back in a mo.
(Larry leaves. A taxi pulls up outside. Martha and the Doctor get out and start to go down the street. Sally runs outside.)
