As Billy and Ray do what they can to help save Delta and the baby, the Doctor and Goronwy the beekeeper face Gavrok and his Bannermen one last time...
DELTA AND THE BANNERMEN PART THREE Run time: 24:22 [SCENE_BREAK] Chalet area [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Give me Delta and I will give you your life. The Doctor: Life? What do you know about life, Gavrok? You deal in death. Lies, treachery and murder are your currency. You promise life, but in the end it will be life which defeats you. Gavrok: You have said enough. I have traversed time and space to find the Chimeron queen. I will not be defeated. The Doctor: As you will. I came here under a white flag and I will leave under that same white flag, and woe betide any man who breaches its integrity. Now step aside! Release those prisoners. The Doctor: Gavrok, it's over. You're finished, and we're leaving. The Doctor: Actually, I think I may have gone a little too far. [SCENE_BREAK] Welsh countryside [SCENE_BREAK] Callon: Up. Arrex: Up, up. Hawk: What's happening now, Weismuller? Weismuller: I don't know, but whatever it is, it's, it's better than, than just sitting around. Hey! Holy mackerel. Weismuller: Boy. Listen, let's try sitting down again, eh? Hawk: Okay. Weismuller: All right. One, two, three. Ray: I thought they'd never go. Can you move? Hawk: Sure, if I leave my neck behind. Weismuller: Oh, gee. It's no use, lady. They've got a special kind of wrench. It's sort of like a dinky Allen key. Ray: Is this dinky enough? Hawk: It's looking good, sister. Ray: I'll have you out in a minute, then follow me in your car. Weismuller: Who is she? [SCENE_BREAK] Country lane [SCENE_BREAK] Mel: We did it, Doctor! Free! The Doctor: Yes, there's more to this than we can fry, Mel. The Doctor: Duck! Mel: Did they get you, Doctor? The Doctor: No, and I don't think they intended to. Mel: You could have fooled me. [SCENE_BREAK] Goronwy's cottage [SCENE_BREAK] Goronwy: This is the queen's hive. Billy: What's that white stuff? Goronwy: Oh, royal jelly. It's a superfood created by the bees themselves. It has the ability to change an ordinary worker bee's larvae into a queen. Billy: And that's all there is to it, a better diet? Goronwy: Never underestimate the powers of nature, Billy. Now, I want to show you something. [SCENE_BREAK] Honey store [SCENE_BREAK] Goronwy: Now, look at all those jars. Wales' finest honey, all created by my little friends. Billy: How long did it take them to make all this lot? Goronwy: Oh, I don't know. We've been working together so long I've completely lost track of all time. But I remember this one especially well. 1932, a hot summer and abundant cherry blossom. A classic honey. Delta: She's due to change. The singing time is near. Billy: What's the singing time? Delta: The next stage in her growth. This food will help boost her energy for the change. Billy: Will she grow up to be a princess, too? Delta: Yes. Her hair and her eyes are already changing. I've fed her this since she was born. Billy: Sometimes that sounds good, other times it's horrible. Delta: One frequency is an attack warning, and the other is musical. Soon she'll be able to control both. Goronwy: Ah, Ray's back with those two lovely American gentlemen. Goronwy: Hello! [SCENE_BREAK] Welsh countryside [SCENE_BREAK] Callon: Tracker dart in place, sir, but the prisoners have escaped. Gavrok (O.C.): Idiot. Pursue at once. I will follow the signal. [SCENE_BREAK] Country lane [SCENE_BREAK] Mel: Let's go that way. The Doctor: Which way? That way? [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Shangri La [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Return to the fighter. Gavrok: Sonic cone. [SCENE_BREAK] Field [SCENE_BREAK] Mel: Doctor! Mel: Why are we stopping, Doctor? The Doctor: In order to lengthen our odds, may I borrow a length of your ribbon? [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Goronwy's cottage [SCENE_BREAK] Hawk: All I know is, they're not Americans. Ray: But we've already explained who they are. Weismuller: Yeah, they're like hit men from Mars. Hawk: You too, Weismuller? Whoever they are, I plan to get even. Goronwy: Listen. Ray: You rescued them, Doctor! The Doctor: Ah, we're not in the clear yet. Er, Ray tells me you've got some honey stored, Goronwy. Goronwy: Only about ten thousand jars, Doctor. The Doctor: Excellent! Billy, Ray, you come with me and Goronwy. I've got one final thing to do. [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok's spaceship [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Signal has stabilised. Prepare to blast off. [SCENE_BREAK] Goronwy's cottage [SCENE_BREAK] Weismuller: But it's our patriotic duty to call Washington, Hawk. Hawk: Yeah, well, you go ahead, Weismuller. I ain't licked yet. The Doctor: She saved Delta's life with a warning cry. She's now into the singing time. Billy: Do you think there are any more of them? The Doctor: Certainly. We'd better get back to the TARDIS, so we'll get ready to leave immediately. [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok's spaceship [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Prepare to land. [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Goronwy's cottage [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: Now, I need something of Delta's. The Doctor: Thank you. The Doctor: Are you ready, my cariad? Ray: Doctor. The Doctor: Head 'em up! Roll 'em out! [SCENE_BREAK] Goat field [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: What is this? Arrex: Gavrok! I found their hideout, sir. [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Goronwy's cottage [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: They're still there. Stand by to storm it. [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Shangri La [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: Stay back! The TARDIS has been booby-trapped. Hawk: Booby-trapped? Ain't nothing but a telephone booth. The Doctor: See up there, next to the light? There's a small beam weapon. It emits a cone of sensitivity all round the TARDIS. Anything entering that cone detonates an explosion. Ray: Can't you somehow get around it? The Doctor: I don't know. It's a very sophisticated system. Hawk: I reckon this is all so much eyewash. I'm a-calling the chief. The Doctor: I did warn you. If you'd have stepped into that beam, you'd have been atomised. [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Goronwy's cottage [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Open fire! [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Shangri La [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: Mister Burton? Burton: Yes? The Doctor: Take everyone back to the camp. Burton: Right. The Doctor: Let me stay here and try and work out how to diffuse that booby-trap, because if it explodes with its full force, it'll take us all with it. [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Goronwy's cottage [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Forward! Gavrok: Where are they? Scum! Bannerman: Gavrok! [SCENE_BREAK] Garage [SCENE_BREAK] Delta: What's that you're hiding, Billy? Delta: You haven't been eating that, have you? Billy: I had to, Delta. I'm not a Chimeron, but if I'm to come with you, then I have to become one. Delta: But it's never been tried on humans before. It might kill you. Billy: It'll be all right. I think. Look at my skin and my hair. They're already changing. Burton: Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we're ready for you at the office now, Billy. Billy: Sure thing, Mister Burton. [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Shangri La [SCENE_BREAK] Ray: Oh, what are you doing, Doctor? The Doctor: Well, I was marking out where the sonic cone meets the ground. Ray: Why? The Doctor: Well, you see, the beam casts a shadow at the base of the TARDIS. Now, if we could tunnel under the cone and come up in that shadow, then perhaps I could disarm it. Ray: Er, Doctor? The Doctor: Yes, I know it's time consuming, but it's our only choice. Ray: No, look. The Doctor: Apart from plan B. Run! [SCENE_BREAK] Main hall [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: They're here! Ray, everyone else stay here until its safe to come out. Goronwy, have you got the beeswax? Thank you. Delta and your daughter, come with me. Barricade the door. [SCENE_BREAK] Office [SCENE_BREAK] Burton: Oh, I haven't used it in over forty years, but it'll still put the wind up a Bannerman. Billy: Almost finished with these connections, Mister Burton. Burton: Through shot and shell, eh? We'll teach these blighters a lesson. The Doctor: Oh! Excellent effort, Mister Burton, but the weapon we're using will be a little more sophisticated. Are you ready, Billy? Billy: Ready to rock and roll. The Doctor: Right, let's roll. [SCENE_BREAK] Chalet block roof [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: They're coming. The Doctor: All haste and no speed makes Jill a dull girl. Pass the side cutters. [SCENE_BREAK] Play area [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Once inside, you will kill everyone except the young princess. I will deal with her personally. [SCENE_BREAK] Chalet block roof [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Now? The Doctor: A moment's impatience would mean our certain annihilation. [SCENE_BREAK] Play area [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Snipers, forward! Kill them! On the roof! [SCENE_BREAK] Chalet block roof [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: Ah, they've spotted us, Billy. Run! [SCENE_BREAK] Play area [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok: Forward! [SCENE_BREAK] Office [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: Now! [SCENE_BREAK] Play area [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: Secure them with these. Weismuller: Oh, thanks, Doctor. You know, when I was an Eagle scout, knots was my best thing. Okay, pal, here's my speciality. A running noose combined with a dog shank. How about that? [SCENE_BREAK] Office [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: It's over. Well done, Princess, that was wonderful. It's over, Mister Burton. The Doctor: Mister Burton, it's over. It's over. Burton: Oh! Aye. The Doctor: It's over, we won! Burton: Oh, lovely, lovely. The Doctor: Now, come and see your new spaceship, Delta, Princess. [SCENE_BREAK] Play area [SCENE_BREAK] Weismuller: Boy, you're the sorriest bunch of Bannermen I've ever seen. Delta: Thank you for your help and courage. All of you. Mel: Are Billy and the Doctor all right? Delta: Yes. Billy's just changing. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy's chalet [SCENE_BREAK] The Doctor: I know without a male the race will be wiped out, but I haven't seen many examples of species crossing. There could be the most dreadful mutation. Billy: It's our only chance, Doctor. The Doctor: I can't condone this foolishness, but then, love has never been known for its rationality. [SCENE_BREAK] Main hall [SCENE_BREAK] Goronwy: And then, you see, the new young queen comes along and the whole colony swarms all around her, and off they go to find a new hive. A new hive and a new life. Hawk: That's amazing. Goronwy: Well, let's go and see what's happening. [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok's spaceship [SCENE_BREAK] Weismuller: Well, that should hold them all the way back to Mars, or wherever you're going. Delta: Considerably further than that. Weismuller: Bye. Delta: Bye-bye. Billy: Everything ship-shape? Delta: Yes. Billy: I'll just stow all my gear. [SCENE_BREAK] Play area [SCENE_BREAK] Ray: What are you thinking, Doctor? The Doctor: I was just speculating what this vehicle would be like with more sophisticated braking and suspension systems. Ray: Are you kidding? This is the best there is. Delta: I don't know how I can ever thank you for what you've done. You've saved my planet and my people. You will always be welcome. Billy: Goodbye, everyone. I'll always think of you here at Shangri La, Ray. Ray: Goodbye, Billy. I won't forget you, either. Billy: Oh, I almost forgot. Will you look after the Vincent for me? Remember to feather the clutch. Ray: Bye. All: Bye! [SCENE_BREAK] Gavrok's spaceship [SCENE_BREAK] Singer: Love is the answer. Here's to the future. Billy: Let's make this baby fly. [SCENE_BREAK] Outside Shangri La [SCENE_BREAK] Mel: Stop! The Doctor: No, don't worry. Gavrok absorbed so much energy that the device has lost all its power. The Doctor: Way hey. Ah, Mister Burton. Thank you for saving Mel's life. Burton: No, thank you, Doctor. I haven't had such a shindig since I went buffalo hunting in Africa. Oh, it's a ferocious brute, you know, the buffalo. Goronwy: 1928, hibiscus blossom. The Doctor: Oh, what a sweet gesture. Oh, you're more than a collector, Goronwy. You're a man of taste. Burton: Oh, good heavens. The Skegness Glee Club, and I haven't got any staff. Burton: Oh, I'll have to go. Goodbye, my dear. Mel: Goodbye. Burton: Ah, welcome, campers. Now I am your camp leader while you are at Shangri La. My name is Burton. The Doctor: I believe this is your satellite, gentlemen. Weismuller: We did it! We actually did it, Hawk. Hawk: It's wonderful! It's wonderful! Weismuller: Thanks, Doctor.
