00:00First, we have a note.
00:19And we have a tune.
00:27Then we have a melody.
00:34Beethoven wrote this when he first discovered he was going deaf.
00:38All that rage and fury, out of which something beautiful.
00:48Am I boring you, Henry?
00:49It's just a bit stuffy.
00:50Can't you play something more exciting, sir?
00:54There is one thing you might like.
00:56It's called the Devil's Chord.
00:57Tell me more, sir.
00:58It was banned by the church in medieval times, in case it allows the devil to enter the room.
01:04Makes you shiver, doesn't it?
01:11Technically it's known as a tritone, but, uh, put it in context, and, uh...
01:18Oh, gosh!
01:21Oh, goodness me!
01:26What?
01:28Is someone playing a game?
01:40Henry, get away from him.
01:53Them.
01:54What?
01:55Me.
01:56What?
01:57I'm them.
01:58You're who?
01:59You're who.
02:00Nice to see you again, kiddo.
02:03You know each other?
02:04That's my daddy.
02:05Don't be ridiculous.
02:06You didn't look up my name, sir.
02:07Of course I did.
02:08It's Henry...
02:09What was it?
02:10Henry...
02:11Henry Harbinger, that's it.
02:12Harbinger!
02:13Think of him as my prelude.
02:14And now his song is sung.
02:15Who are you?
02:16My notation is...
02:17My son.
02:18My son.
02:19My son.

02:39My son.
02:40My son.
02:41My son...
02:42And you, Mr. Timothy Drake?!
02:43You're a genius.
02:44Don't be ridiculous.
02:45You are the greatest composer to ever live.
02:48Clever enough to find the last chord...
02:54But it's so sad!
02:56The composer, who ever lived.
03:00Clever enough to find the lost chord,
03:03but it's so sad!
03:06Tickety.
03:09You never had the luck.
03:11You never got that break.
03:15I did not. You're right.
03:17Nobody ever understood me.
03:19All those melodies,
03:22tangled and strangled inside you.
03:27All those songs you never sang.
03:32They sit there still,
03:34wrapped around your heart.
03:39Still beating.
03:42Wrapped so...
03:47tight.
03:51Would you like me to set them free?
03:54I would love that, yes. Yes.
03:58Music, maestro, please!
04:02Yes, sir.
04:05Ah!
04:07Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
04:10Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
04:13Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
04:19Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

05:16I want to see the Beatles recording their very first album.
05:42Seriously?
05:45You asked. If I could go anywhere in time and space, that's where I'd go.
05:49Because my mum, she had a girlfriend, Claire, and loved Claire, and she was dead into vinyl.
05:53She had all the Beatles albums, so I used to play them every day after school.
05:56Ten years old I was. We had Revolver, the White Albums.
06:00So yeah, if I could go anywhere, then that's where I'd go.
06:06That is...
06:09amazing!
06:10Oh, me too!
06:11Oh! People always say the Titanic!
06:14Or Marge! Or Bethlehem!
06:16But the Beatles!
06:18Why have I never done that before?
06:20Come on!
06:26February 11th, 1963.
06:28No way, really?
06:30Ah!
06:32Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. If we're in the 60s, what about our clothes?
06:39Good thinking.
06:43Oh, my God!
06:46I want to be high!
07:131963?!
07:18Oh, no way!
07:21It's like the album cover!
07:23Oh, I'm having the best time!
07:25Oh, look at the cars!
07:27Oh, come on!
07:37Abbey Road Studios!
07:39Not called Abbey Road yet.
07:41Right now, in 1963, they are...
07:44the EMI Recording Studios.
07:47THEY LAUGH
07:51And how do we get in?
07:53Won't they ask who we are?
07:55Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
07:57Hi! Janet said we could take over, so you can have ten minutes off.
08:01Oh, right! Thank you.
08:03Very kind.
08:05Oh, yeah, there's always a Janet.
08:07And everyone wants a cuppa.
08:09Brilliant.
08:15Good morning.
08:17Cup of tea?
08:19Er, yeah, make it a strong one, two sugars.
08:22Er...
08:24Boys, do you want anything?
08:26I'm all right for now. Maybe something stronger later on.
08:28What do you think, John?
08:30Now you're talking, Paul lad.
08:32I just want a good night's sleep.
08:34I like that, we'll all have a good kip.
08:36All right, all right, let's take it from the top.
08:38I thought the chorus, don't slide in the harmonies, just hit it.
08:41Whatever you say, boss.
08:43Hurry up then, George, we're not getting paid, seven quid a day.
08:46Er, good luck. Thanks.
08:51Roll to record.
08:53And three, two, one.
08:55I've got a dog, he's called Fred
08:58My dog is alive, he's not dead
09:01He's my dog, he loves me too
09:03I haven't got a cat, only a dog
09:06My dog, my dog, my dog, my dog
09:09I've got a dog, I love my dog
09:12He's my dog, he's not your dog
09:15If you want a dog, get your own
09:24KNOCK AT DOOR
09:26Don't mind us, just a cup of tea.
09:29OK, going from the second chorus,
09:32playing in the last four bars of the verse.
09:35Good luck, Cilla.
09:37And a three, two, one.
09:39I love you, you love me
09:42We are two, we are not three
09:46Cos you love me and I love you
09:51We're quite happy, I think, perhaps
09:56Oh, Cilla.
10:02Don't mind us.
10:04And roll to record, please.
10:22Look at them.
10:25Everything's gone dull.
10:27No one hums, no one whistles,
10:30no one taps their feet.
10:32Look at it, though.
10:34Music isn't...
10:36Like, you can't lose it or steal it or kill it.
10:39It's just natural. You get music when the wind blows through the trees.
10:43It's called aeolian tones.
10:45But music, music is the highest form of thought.
10:49If you take that away, Finland, that never happened.
10:56If music is gone, that means everything is changing.
10:59The whole human race is taking a different path.
11:02OK, so what do we do?
11:04You take John Lennon, I'll take Paul McCartney.
11:06Find out what happened and when it happened.
11:09Two cups of tea, my darlings.
11:11That's half a crown ta, very much.
11:13How much?
11:15That is outrageous.
11:17Take it or leave it, sweetheart.
11:19That is daylight robbery.
11:21That's me, Margaret Lockwood in The Wicked Lady.
11:25Now there was a woman.
11:27Statuesque.
11:29Excuse me, hold on, Paul.
11:31Could I just have a word?
11:33I've got a cup of tea for you. Mr Epstein sent me.
11:36OK.
11:38You are writing songs for the band, yeah?
11:42They're not very good, are they?
11:44Oh, er...
11:46Well, no, no.
11:48Grace?
11:50That's great, lad, that's how it should be.
11:52It's not like the old days when we had waltzes and fandangos and all that.
11:56But waltzes used to exist.
11:58When did they start becoming wrong?
12:00Dunno, way back.
12:02Twenties, thirties.
12:04Why? What happened?
12:06We started seeing sense.
12:09What we're doing here today is the last gasp.
12:12If I can make a bit of money out of cheap old rhymes,
12:14then I can settle down and get a proper job.
12:17It's embarrassing, singing.
12:19I just want to finish the album, get back to Liverpool and forget it.
12:23Well, you can't do that.
12:25We need you.
12:27What for? I'm no good at anything.
12:31But, Paul, see, when it's just you on your own,
12:35don't you think that there must be better songs?
12:40Songs that lift you and devastate you and make you sore?
12:48Songs that are tucked away somewhere in secret in the back of your mind?
12:58How do you know that?
13:01I just want to go home.
13:05Forget this life.
13:08Just have my tea and go to bed with a woman and me home, you know?
13:12That's all I want.
13:18Then why do I wake up crying?
13:21It's like sometimes, late at night, I get this thought.
13:26Like, it's so far away, but it's a note.
13:31A single note.
13:33And then a second and a third and fourth and fifth.
13:39And you put them together
13:41and it feels like the most holy thing on this earth.
13:45Like a G and an E.
13:51And a G maybe twice.
13:54And then C.
13:59And if you put words to it, words right from your heart...
14:05I love you so much.
14:15I love you.
14:46Don't waste me time.
14:50Do you know what you are with your ideas, pal?
14:52Disgusting. You are disgusting.
15:02What the hell was that?
15:05Yeah, that's it. Vinny, nice and safe.
15:07I want that installed on the rooftop like it is precious china.
15:10Easy, boys. Don't hit the wall.
15:13Right. Let's head on up.
15:17The thing is, without music, dance must be gone.
15:21No-one dances anymore. I mean, can you dance without music?
15:24I mean, you can, but you won't do.
15:26And think about it, Ruby, love songs.
15:28There are no more love songs anymore.
15:30Oh, my God, there's no more love songs in the whole wide world?
15:36How London sounds!
15:38That's smoke. I thought they got rid of that in the 50s.
15:41We had really bad smoke in December 62,
15:44but this, it's more like a darkening.
15:48The world is darkening.
15:50I live over there.
15:52You do what?
15:53I live over there.
15:54What do you mean?
15:55Shortage. I'm there right now.
15:57OK, you're going to have to start again.
15:59In the past, right now, I live in a place called Totters Lane.
16:021963, I parked the TARDIS in a junkyard
16:05and I live there with my granddaughter Susan.
16:07Oh!
16:09OK.
16:10You're what?
16:11My granddaughter.
16:12Susan.
16:13We could go and have a look, but, you know, time lines.
16:15Well, you've got children.
16:17I did have, I will have.
16:19Time lines get a bit complicated.
16:21Yeah, but you've got a granddaughter.
16:23Like now, like today, fucking our time, my time.
16:25Ah! Where is she?
16:27I don't know.
16:29How do you not know?
16:31Time lines were murdered.
16:33Genocide rolled across time and space
16:35like a great big cellular explosion.
16:37Maybe it killed her too.
16:38Doctor!
16:39God!
16:47Here we go, Doc.
16:48Hey, Willie!
16:50Thank you very much.
16:52Come on, bit of luck.
16:54I'll have you whistling by sundown.
16:56Can't bear whistling, Doc.
16:57All those horrible tunes.
16:59No thanks.
17:00All right.
17:03Oh!
17:08It's all yours, honey.
17:11Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
17:12I'm, I'm not that good.
17:14Ah, you are.
17:15Sweet, I've seen you.
17:17December 23, King's Arms,
17:19you opened with one more sleep.
17:24What?
17:25What have you there?
17:26Well, it comes back to Christmas with you, doesn't it?
17:28I need you to play again.
17:32But what for?
17:33At this moment in time,
17:34Ruby Sunder, you are the only music in the world.
17:36Let's see what happens if you bring music back.
17:40Well, it's just...
17:42No pressure.
17:45OK.
17:47I wrote this for my friend, Trudy,
17:50when a girl broke her heart.
19:04Oh, my God.
19:34Oh, my God.
20:04No!
20:07No!
20:09No!
20:32You called.
20:35The hell was the giggle?
20:41Hide!
20:42You what?
20:43We've got to hide!
20:44You never hide!
20:48I can't fight this thing.
20:59I heard music!
21:04Where are you?
21:23Where are you?
21:27Who was playing that piano?
21:34The chorus of ancient songs calls me...
21:40Maestro.
21:43And who...
21:47are you?
21:50Because...
21:51I heard music!
21:57And music...
22:01is mine!
22:26And music...
22:30is mine!
22:34And music...
22:38is mine!
22:42And music...
22:46is mine!
22:50And music...
22:53is mine!
22:56And music...
23:00is mine!
23:04And music...
23:08is mine!
23:22Sound and vision.
23:26Sound and vision.
23:43Music.
23:57Sound and vision.
24:11But who was that?
24:12Were they inside the piano?
24:13How can they be inside the piano?
24:14The piano wouldn't work.
24:15Okay, okay, okay, okay.
24:17Okay.
24:21You're scaring me now.
24:23Nothing.
24:25Must be part of the pantheon.
24:31Oh, Ruby the R.
24:36Vast powers beyond the universe.
24:41I told you, when we first met, I said the Toymaker.
24:45And defeating him took everything.
24:48It ripped me in half.
24:50But you survived.
24:51It literally, it tore my soul in half.
24:53I can't survive that again.
25:08The Toymaker said...
25:11He said...
25:13He warned me.
25:14He said, my legions are coming.
25:17My legions are coming.
25:19He said my legions are coming.
25:20But you made that silence with the sonic.
25:22That worked, didn't it?
25:23Yeah, one trick, once.
25:24That's all you get with the gods.
25:26Okay, so what do we do?
25:27I don't know.
25:28I don't know, Ruby.
25:29That's just the point.
25:30I don't know.
25:31But you always know.
25:32I don't.
25:34The last time I got lucky.
25:36Catch.
25:37One trick, once.
25:39But this thing is stealing music.
25:42I mean, how the hell?
25:49I'm sorry.
25:52But the power of these creatures is so vast,
25:55the whole world could slide into the pit.
26:00Doctor?
26:03I know you're clever.
26:05I know that.
26:07But I've got news for you.
26:10The world did not end in 1963.
26:15Right.
26:16No, but it didn't.
26:17Okay, I'm living proof.
26:20I was born in 2004,
26:21and all my life I've heard Beyoncé and Sunfender
26:24and Strictly and Tap Dancin' and Braves,
26:27and my mom sings Danny Boy at Christmas
26:29when she's drunk to my gran.
26:31Don't you see, Doctor?
26:34Music exists.
26:42Come with me.
26:45So when is it for you back home?
26:47What time are you?
26:48June 2024?
26:50Uh, it's hard to keep track,
26:52but yeah, I think so.
26:53June, July.
27:01What, have we done it?
27:02Are we back?
27:032024.
27:04Brought you home.
27:14Come on.
27:45This is what we're trying to stop.
27:51But this isn't real.
27:54This is...
27:56It's just like a parallel universe.
27:58This is your time.
28:00This is your home if Maestro isn't stopped.
28:05This is your home if Maestro isn't stopped.
28:15Where's my mom?
28:24I think without music,
28:26the human race goes sour.
28:29Without any way of expressing a broken heart,
28:31they go to war without even knowing why.
28:38Then how am I still alive?
28:43Why don't I fade away?
28:45Because of me.
29:01Boo!
29:17Maestro.
29:19The doctor.
29:21That was you in 63, wasn't it?
29:24Sweet cheeks.
29:27You stepped from one time to another
29:31like the Lord Kemperl
29:35who trapped my father
29:38and bound him in salt.
29:40Yes?
29:41Child of the Toymaker.
29:42C'est moi, mon chef.
29:46I should thank you, doctor.
29:49Daddy was so bad to me.
29:57Daddy was so mean.
29:59Daddy was so tough.
30:01Daddy, daddy me.
30:02And that was fine enough.
30:04If he was the living game,
30:06you are the essence of music itself.
30:10But what's the point?
30:12You've destroyed the world.
30:14Music is gone.
30:16How is that a win?
30:17Not gone, darling.
30:21Hush!
30:28The sound of a nuclear winter.
30:34The purest music of all.
30:37Aeolian tones.
30:39Music without the need of people.
30:42And every song that goes unsung feeds me.
30:48I get stronger and stronger
30:51until I can reach out
30:54and steal the music of the spheres.
30:59Then the universe will stop turning.
31:03It'll keen in a minor key.
31:08Aeolian tones across the whole of creation.
31:12And that lament will be my symphony supreme.
31:17With all of life extinguished.
31:20With all of life extinguished.
31:23I'm going solo.
31:25How did you enter this world?
31:27Oh.
31:29That would be telling, babe.
31:31No!
31:32Babes, your father established the rules of fair play.
31:35One thing that he would never do is cheat.
31:39So I have a right to know.
31:42A genius.
31:44A single silly man
31:47who found the lost chord.
31:51Which means a different combination of notes would banish you.
31:55I said genius!
31:58And you might be bright
32:02and hot
32:04and...
32:06timey-wimey.
32:09But genius?
32:11Oh, honey, I don't think so.
32:14We did everything.
32:16Resonates, Doctor, dear.
32:18Every atom hums.
32:20And anything that plays a tune is mine!
32:25Sing along, Doctor.
32:28Everybody!
32:34What is it? What's happening?
32:36My trove!
32:38Controlling the TARDIS!
32:41I say never!
32:43Never!
32:45Really?
32:49Are we flying?
32:51The only thing I can do is take us back to 1963!
33:03Where's my trove?
33:05Composing.
33:07Composing.
33:09And the next tune might be deadly.
33:12I'm sorry.
33:14I'm sorry.
33:16Baby.
33:22Okay, come on.
33:24Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
33:26Okay?
33:32Strange.
33:34Did you break it?
33:36No.
33:38No, no, no, no, that's something else.
33:42Hariyama!
33:44Right.
33:56Okay, if we can record the right tune on the sonic,
33:59we can use this as a weapon.
34:01Right.
34:02Yeah? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:03Oh, oh, okay.
34:04My notes of banishment!
34:07Oh, John Lennon's guitar!
34:09That's got to be a good start.
34:12Okay, we don't need to be a genius.
34:14No, just, no offence, just a musical genius.
34:17Sometimes genius is just hard work.
34:19Yeah?
34:21If I can find my way to the waltz.
34:24Wait a minute.
34:27Not 66 billion trillion different tunes out there, but...
34:31No, but just wait.
34:33Can you hear that?
34:35That music?
34:43Doctor!
34:44I thought that was an anti-diuretic.
34:45No, no, don't!
34:50Doctor!
34:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
34:58No!
35:01Doctor!
35:04Doctor!
35:19Down!
35:21No.
35:31Can't trick me twice, honey!
35:34Bite me!
35:35Leave her alone!
35:37But she's the only human left!
35:40With music in her heart!
35:45Playing lovesick songs for heartbroken lesbians.
35:52And that just makes me hungry.
35:56For all those delicious songs.
35:59Let me go!
36:04That's right, pretty girl!
36:06Sing!
36:09Maestro.
36:10Maestro, I am asking you, just...
36:15What?
36:21That's wrong.
36:22What do you mean?
36:24There's a hidden song deep inside her soul!
36:29What is it?
36:31Really?
36:38What is this?
36:41Christmas.
36:43The music that was playing the night that she was born.
36:49How could a song have so much power?
36:53I don't know.
36:56How could a song have so much power?
37:00And power like him?
37:02Like who?
37:03The oldest one?
37:04On the night of her birth.
37:06He can't have been there.
37:08What for?
37:10What for?
37:11What for?
37:12Who was there?
37:18Enough.
37:20Whoa!
37:24Okay?
37:25I've got you.
37:26Okay.
37:27I've got you.
37:28What was it?
37:29It's okay.
37:30It's okay.
37:31It's okay.
37:32This creature is very wrong.
37:35And this, this is very, very, very right.
37:43Do you know what this is?
37:46This is the famous Abbey Road Piano.
37:50They call it the Mrs. Mills Piano.
37:54Oh, she was a girl.
37:56We had some adventures, me and Mrs. Mills.
37:59But this, this is the piano that the Beatles will play on their greatest hits.
38:04Penny Lane, Lady Madonna, all from this.
38:08So I know that this piano is rattling with all the potential to send you back to hell.
38:15Music battle.
38:45Music battle.
39:15Music battle.
39:45Music battle.
39:52Ah!
40:10Go on then.
40:13Do it.
40:16Can you find it?
40:19The lost chord.
40:23Are you enough of a genius?
40:25Oh, I would never call myself that, maestro.
40:28But I have lived.
40:30And I have loved.
40:33And I can only smile like this because I have lost so much.
40:38I've experienced everything.
40:40Every single thing.
40:43And if that's where music comes from...
40:52I can find the chord to banish you.
41:10Ah!
41:34One more.
41:37Just one more.
41:41One more.
41:53Um, no.
41:59Maestro!
42:07No!
42:20Some time.
42:36Ruben, get the piano!
42:42Sorry to keep harping on!
43:06No!
43:14Great, no, genius!
43:19No!
43:30I just want to go home.
43:32Well, you can't do that.
43:34I need you.
43:36What for? I'm no good at anything.
43:49Come on, breathe!
44:05And then a second.
44:07And a third.
44:08And a fourth.
44:09And a fifth.
44:10And you put them together and it feels like the most holy thing on this earth.
44:21No!
44:27Oh, no!
44:35Ah!
44:48The one who waits is almost here!
45:04Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
45:07Here it comes.
45:09Everywhere!
45:11Music!
45:21We're making music.
45:23The whole city, the whole world.
45:26Yes, yes, yes.
45:28But there is one thing that I should warn you about, Ruby,
45:32and this is really very serious.
45:35With all my adventures throughout time and space,
45:39I have to tell you, there's always a twist at the end.
46:03Yes, there's always a twist at the end.
46:21There's always a twist, there's always a twist,
46:24there's always a twist at the end.
46:26There's always a twist, there's always a twist,
46:29there's always a twist at the end.
46:31Pretend, dissent, lend, and make do with that,
46:34cause there's always, there's always,
46:36yes, there's always a twist at the end.
46:39There's always a twist at the end,
46:42there's always a twist at the end.
46:44We ain't no fools from Liverpool,
46:47cause there's always a twist at the end.
46:50I always say, better enter the twist,
46:53that's one good thing that can't be missed.
46:55Have a smashing little dance, cause we know what's best,
46:58cause we're the smart girls from the North West.
47:01There's always a twist, there's always a twist at the end.
47:14Sing along if you got what you asked,
47:17sing along if you can't stand this,
47:19there's a special little dance show round the rest,
47:22there's always a twist at the end.
47:26There's always a twist at the end.
47:38There's always a twist at the end.
47:40I said there's always a twist at the end.
47:43What you intend, I can't defend,
47:46I think this song will never end,
47:49cause there's always, always, always,
47:53always a twist at the end.
48:24Hmph!
48:26Ha-ha!
48:50Where are we?
48:52In the middle of a war.
