00:00First we have a note, and we have a tune.
00:24Then we have a melody.
00:31Beethoven wrote this when he first discovered he was going deaf.
00:35All that rage and fury, out of which something beautiful.
00:45Am I boring you, Henry?
00:46It's just a bit stuffy.
00:47Can't you play something more exciting, sir?
00:51There is one thing you might like.
00:53It's called the Devil's Chord.
00:54Tell me more, sir.
00:55It was banned by the church in medieval times, in case it allows the devil to enter the room.
01:01Makes you shiver, doesn't it?
01:08Technically it's known as a tritone, but put it in context and...
01:12Oh, gosh, oh, goodness me, I...
01:29What?
01:33Is someone playing a game?
01:34Henry, get away from him.
01:50Them.
01:51What?
01:52Me.
01:53What?
01:54I'm them.
01:55You're who?
01:56You're who.
01:57Nice to see you again, kiddo.
02:00You know each other?
02:01That's my daddy.
02:02Don't be ridiculous.
02:04You didn't look up my name, sir.
02:05Of course I did.
02:06It's Henry...
02:07What was it?
02:08Henry...
02:09Henry Harbinger, that's it.
02:10Harbinger.
02:11You can think of him as my prelude.
02:12And now his song is sung.
02:13Who are you?

04:58♪♪
05:08♪♪
05:18♪♪
05:28♪♪
05:30I want to see the Beatles recording their very first album.
05:38Seriously?
05:42Well, you asked.
05:43If I could go anywhere in time and space, that's where I'd go.
05:45Because my mom, she had a girlfriend, Claire, and loved Claire,
05:48and she was dead into vinyl.
05:50She had all the Beatles albums.
05:51I used to play them every day after school.
05:53Ten years old I was.
05:54We had Revolver, the White Albums.
05:56So, yeah, if I could go anywhere, then that's where I'd go.
06:02That is...
06:06amazing!
06:07Oh, right, too!
06:08Oh!
06:09People always say the Titanic!
06:11Or Mars!
06:12Or Bethlehem!
06:13Or the Beatles!
06:16Why have I never done that before?
06:18Come on!
06:19Oh!
06:21Whoa!
06:23February 11th, 1963.
06:25No way, really?
06:27Ah!
06:29Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
06:31If we're in the 60s, what about our clothes?
06:37Good thinking.
06:40Come on!
06:41Let's go!
06:42Come on!
06:44I want to be hired!
06:46I've got wings galore!
06:48Like a sound you hear that lingers in your ear
06:52But you can't forget from sundown to sunset
06:56Na-na
06:59It's all in the air, you hear it everywhere
07:02No matter what you do, it's gonna unravel
07:05Hold on here
07:07California soul
07:131963?
07:18Oh, no way!
07:20It's like the album cover!
07:22I'm having the best time!
07:24Look at the cars!
07:25Oh, come on!
07:27Oh, my God!
07:36Abbey Road Studios!
07:38Not called Abbey Road yet.
07:40Right now, in 1963, they are...
07:44the EMI Recording Studios.
07:50And how do we get in?
07:52Won't they ask who we are?
07:54Oh, oh, oh!
07:56Hi! Janet said we could take over,
07:58so you can have ten minutes off.
07:59Oh, right!
08:00Thank you.
08:02Very kind.
08:04Yep, there's always a Janet.
08:06And everyone wants a cup of...
08:08Brilliant!
08:15Good morning!
08:16Cup of tea?
08:18Uh, yeah.
08:19Make it a strong one, two sugars.
08:23Boys, do you want anything?
08:24I'm all right for now.
08:25Maybe something stronger later on.
08:27What do you think, John?
08:28Now you're talking, Paul lad.
08:29I just want a good night's sleep.
08:31You keep playing like that,
08:32we'll all have a good kip.
08:34All right, all right.
08:35Let's take it from the top.
08:36I thought the chorus,
08:37don't slide in the harmonies,
08:38just hit it.
08:39Whatever you say, boss.
08:40Hurry up then, George.
08:41We're not getting paid.
08:42Seven quid a day.
08:44Good luck.
08:45Thanks.
08:48Roll to record.
08:50And three, two, one.
08:51I've got a dog, he's called Fred
08:54My dog is alive, he's not dead
08:57I love my dog, he loves me too
09:00I haven't got a cat, only a dog
09:03My dog, my dog, my dog, my dog
09:06I've got a dog, I love my dog
09:09He's my dog, he's not your dog
09:12If you want a dog, get your own
09:22Knock, knock, knock.
09:25Don't mind us.
09:26Just a cup of tea.
09:27OK.
09:28Going from the second chorus,
09:30playing in the last four bars of the verse.
09:32Good luck, Scylla.
09:35And a three, two, one.
09:37I love you, you love me
09:40We are two, we are not three
09:44Cos you love me and I love you
09:49We're quite happy, I think, perhaps.
09:55Oh, Scylla.
10:00Don't mind us.
10:02And roll to record, please.
10:20Look at them.
10:23Everything's gone dull.
10:25No one hums, no one whistles,
10:28no one taps their feet.
10:30I don't get it, though.
10:32Music isn't...
10:34Like, you can't lose it or steal it or kill it.
10:37It's just natural.
10:38You get music when the wind blows through the trees.
10:41It's called the aeolian tones.
10:43The music, music is the highest form of thought.
10:47Cos if you take that away,
10:49Finland, that never happened.
10:54If music is gone, that means everything is changing.
10:57The whole human race is taking a different path.
11:00OK, so what do we do?
11:01You take John Lennon, I'll take Paul McCartney,
11:03find out what happened and when it happened.
11:07Two cups of tea, my darlings.
11:09That's half a crown, tar very much.
11:11How much?
11:12That is outrageous.
11:14Take it or leave it, sweetheart.
11:16That is daylight robbery.
11:19That's me, Margaret Lockwood in The Wicked Lady.
11:23Now there was a woman.
11:25Statuesque.
11:26Excuse me, hold on, Paul.
11:29Could I just have a word?
11:30I've got a cup of tea for you, Mr Epstein sent me.
11:34OK.
11:36You are writing songs for the band, yeah?
11:40They're not very good, are they?
11:41Oh, er...
11:43No, no.
11:44Great.
11:46That's great, lad, that's how it should be.
11:48It's not like the old days
11:49when we had waltzes and fandangos and all that.
11:51But waltzes used to exist.
11:53When did they start becoming wrong?
11:56Dunno, way back.
11:57Twenties, thirties.
11:59Why, what happened?
12:02We started seeing sense.
12:05What we're doing here today is the last gasp.
12:08If I can make a bit of money out of cheap old rhymes
12:10then I can settle down and get a proper job.
12:13It's embarrassing.
12:14Singing.
12:16Just want to finish the album,
12:17get back to Liverpool and forget it.
12:20Well, you can't do that.
12:22We need you.
12:24What for?
12:25I'm no good at anything.
12:28But Paul,
12:29see, when it's just you on your own,
12:32don't you think that
12:35there must be better songs?
12:37There must be better songs.
12:39Songs that lift you
12:42and devastate you
12:43and make you sore.
12:46Songs that are tucked away
12:49somewhere in secret in the back of your mind.
12:56How do you know that?
12:59I just want to go home.
13:03Forget this life.
13:05Just have my tea and go to bed with a woman in my arm, you know?
13:10That's all I want.
13:18Then why do I wake up crying?
13:20It's like sometimes
13:22late at night I get this thought.
13:25Like, it's so far away.
13:28It's a note.
13:30A single note.
13:31And then a second
13:33and a third
13:34and fourth
13:35and fifth.
13:37And you put them together
13:39and it feels like the most holy thing on this earth.
13:44Like a
13:45G
13:47and an E
13:49and a G maybe twice
13:53and then C.
13:57And if you put words to it,
13:59words right from your heart.
14:02I love you so much.
14:29I love you.
14:45Don't waste me time.
14:48Do you know what you are with your ideas, pal?
14:50Disgusting.
14:51You are disgusting.
15:00What the hell was that?
15:03Yeah, that's it.
15:04Vinny, nice and safe.
15:05I want that installed on the rooftop like it is precious china.
15:08Easy, boys.
15:09Don't hit the wall.
15:10Right.
15:11Let's head on up.
15:15The thing is
15:16without music
15:17dance
15:18must be gone.
15:19No one dances anymore.
15:20I mean, can you dance without music?
15:22I mean, you can, but do you want to?
15:24Think about it, Ruby.
15:25Love songs.
15:26There are no more love songs anymore.
15:27Oh, my God!
15:28There's no more love songs in the whole wide world.
15:34Loud London 10!
15:35What the hell is that smoke?
15:37I thought they got rid of that in the 50s.
15:38We had really bad smoke in December 62,
15:41but this
15:43is more like a darkening.
15:46The world is darkening.
15:48I live over there.
15:50You do what?
15:51I live over there.
15:52What do you mean?
15:53Shortage.
15:54I'm there right now.
15:55Okay, you're going to have to start again.
15:56In the past, right now,
15:58I live in a place called Totters Lane.
16:001963, I parked the TARDIS in a junkyard
16:03and I lived there with my granddaughter, Susan.
16:05Oh!
16:07Okay?
16:08Your what?
16:09My granddaughter.
16:10Susan?
16:11We could go and have a look,
16:12but, you know, time lines.
16:13Well, you've got children.
16:15I did have.
16:16I will have.
16:17Time lines get a bit complicated.
16:19Yeah, but you've got a granddaughter.
16:20Like now, like today.
16:21Back in our time.
16:22My time.
16:23Ah!
16:24Where is she?
16:25I don't know.
16:27How do you not know?
16:29Timeless were murdered.
16:31Genocide rolled across Timeless' face
16:32like a great big cellular explosion.
16:34Maybe it killed her too.
16:36Doctor, God.
16:45Here we go, Doc.
16:46Hey, Millie!
16:48Thank you very much.
16:50Come on.
16:51Bit of luck.
16:52I'll have you whistling by sundown.
16:54Can't bear whistling, Doc.
16:55All those horrible tunes.
16:57No thanks.
16:58Oh, right.
17:01Oh!
17:06It's all yours, honey.
17:09Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
17:10I'm...
17:11I'm not that good.
17:12Ah, you are.
17:13Sweet, I've seen you.
17:15December 23, King's Arms.
17:17You opened with one more sleep.
17:22What?
17:23What are you doing there?
17:24Well, it all comes back to Christmas with you, doesn't it?
17:26I need you to play again.
17:30But what for?
17:31At this moment in time,
17:32you're the only music in the world.
17:34Let's see what happens if you bring music back.
17:38Well, that was just...
17:40No pressure.
17:45I wrote this for my friend, Trudy,
17:48when a girl broke her heart.
17:53♪
18:23♪
18:53♪
19:23♪
19:54♪
20:01No!
20:04No.
20:12Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
20:19Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
20:23You called.
20:26That was the giggle.
20:30Hide!
20:31You what?
20:32We've got to hide.
20:33You never hide.
20:34I can't fight this thing.
20:35Let's go.
20:36Let's go.
20:37Hide!
20:38Do what?
20:39We've got to hide!
20:40You never hide!
20:41I can't fight the thing.
20:42I heard music!
20:44I can't fight the thing.
20:56I heard music!
21:13Where are you?
21:26Who was playing that piano?
21:31The chorus of ancient songs calls me maestro.
21:40And who are you?
21:47Because I heard music!
21:54And music is mine!
22:10And music is mine!
22:40And music is mine!
22:50And music is mine!
23:00And music is mine!
23:10And music is mine!
23:20And vision.
23:40And music.
24:08But who was that?
24:09Were they inside the piano?
24:10How can they be inside the piano?
24:11The piano wouldn't work.
24:12Okay.
24:13Okay, okay, okay.
24:14Okay.
24:18You're scaring me now.
24:20That thing must be part of the pantheon.
24:28Oh, Ruby the R.
24:33Vast powers beyond the universe.
24:38I told you, when we first met, I said the Toymaker.
24:42And defeating him took everything.
24:44It ripped me in half.
24:46But you survived.
24:47It literally, it tore my soul in half.
24:50I can't survive that again.
25:03The toymaker said, he said, he warned me, he said, my legions are coming, my legions
25:16are coming.
25:17He said my legions are coming.
25:18But you made that silence with the sonic, that worked, didn't it?
25:20Yeah, one trick, once, that's all you get with the gods.
25:22Okay, so what do we do?
25:24I don't know, I don't know, Ruby, that's just the point, I don't know.
25:28But you always know.
25:29I don't.
25:32The last time I got lucky, catch, one trick, once, but this thing is stealing music, I
25:40mean, how, what the hell?
25:47I'm sorry, but the power of these creatures is so vast, the whole world could slide into
25:55the pit.
25:58Doctor, I know you're clever, I know that, but I've got news for you, the world did not
26:09end in 1963.
26:10Right.
26:11No, but it didn't, okay, I'm living proof, I was born in 2004, and all my life I've had
26:20Beyonce, and Sam Fender, and Strictly, and Tap Dancing, and Braves, and oh, my mom sings
26:25Danny Boy at Christmas when she's drunk to my gran, don't you see, Doctor?
26:32Music exists.
26:33Come with me.
26:34So when is it for you, Batcombe, what time are you, June 2024?
26:51It's hard to keep track, but yeah, I think so, June, July.
26:55What, have we done it, are we back?
27:022024, brought you home.
27:24This is what we're trying to stop.
27:50But this isn't real, this is, it's just like a parallel universe.
28:00This is your time, this is your home, if Maestro isn't stopped.
28:09Where's my mom?
28:21I think without music, the human race goes sour, without any way of expressing a broken
28:28heart, they go to war without even knowing why.
28:32Then how am I still alive?
28:40Why don't I fade away?
28:42Because of me.
29:01Maestro, the Doctor.
29:19That was you in 63, wasn't it?
29:22Sweet cheeks.
29:25You stepped from one time to another, like the Lord Temporal, who trapped my father and
29:36bound him in salt.
29:38Yes?
29:39Child of the Toymaker.
29:40C'est moi, mon cher.
29:44I should thank you, Doctor.
29:47Daddy was so bad to me.
29:54Daddy was so mean.
29:56Daddy was so tough.
29:58Daddy, Daddy, me.
30:00And that was fine enough.
30:02If he was a living game, you are the essence of music itself.
30:08But what's the point?
30:09You've destroyed the world.
30:11Music is gone.
30:13How is that a win?
30:15Not gone, darling.
30:18Hush.
30:25The sound of a nuclear winter.
30:34The purest music of all.
30:38Aeolian tones.
30:40Music without the need of people.
30:42And every song that goes unsung feeds me.
30:48I get stronger and stronger until I can reach out and 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.
31:13And that lament will be my symphony supreme.
31:18With all of life extinguished.
31:21I'm going solo.
31:23How did you enter this world?
31:25Oh.
31:27That would be telling, babe.
31:29No!
31:30Babes, your father established the rules of fair play.
31:33One thing that he would never do is cheat.
31:37So I have a right to know.
31:40I'm a genius.
31:42A single silly man who found the lost chord.
31:49Which means a different combination of notes would banish you.
31:53I said genius.
31:58And you might be bright.
32:00And hot.
32:02And...
32:04Tiny whiny.
32:07But genius?
32:09I don't think so.
32:14Everything resonates, doctor dear.
32:17Every atom hums.
32:19And anything that plays a tune is mine.
32:25Sing along, doctor.
32:29Everybody.
32:34What is it?
32:35What's happening?
32:36Control.
32:37Controlling the target.
32:40I say never.
32:42Never!
32:44Really?
32:48Are we flying?
32:49Holy God.
32:52The only thing I can do is take us back to 1963.
33:02Where's Maestro?
33:05He's composing.
33:07And the next tune might be deadly.
33:11I'm sorry.
33:12I'm sorry.
33:13I'm sorry.
33:14It's okay.
33:20Come on.
33:21Come on.
33:22Come on.
33:23Come on.
33:24Come on.
33:25Come on.
33:26Come on.
33:27Okay?
33:31Strange.
33:33Did you break it?
33:34No.
33:36No, no, no, no, no.
33:37That's something else.
33:40Hariyama!
33:41Right.
33:54Okay.
33:55If we can record the right tune on the sonic, we can use this as a weapon.
33:59Right.
34:00Yeah.
34:01No, no, no, no, no.
34:02It's a banishment.
34:05John Lennon's guitar.
34:07That's got to be a good start, man.
34:10Okay, but don't you need to be a genius?
34:12No offense, just a musical genius.
34:15Sometimes genius is just hard work.
34:18I can figure it out.
34:20What?
34:22Wait a minute.
34:2566 billion trillion different tunes out there, but...
34:29No, but just wait.
34:31Can you hear that?
34:32What?
34:33Music.
34:40Stop doing it!
34:41I thought that was not ashertic.
34:43No, no, no.
34:44Stop!
34:47Stop it!
34:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:58Stop it!
35:16Down!
35:29Can't trick me twice, honey.
35:31Then fight me.
35:33Leave her alone.
35:35But she's the only human left with music in her heart.
35:44Playing lovesick songs for heartbroken lesbians.
35:50And that just makes me hungry for all those delicious songs.
35:57Let me go!
36:02That's right, pretty girl.
36:04Sing!
36:10Maestro.
36:12Maestro, I am asking you, just...
36:17What?
36:23That's wrong.
36:24What do you mean?
36:26There is a hidden song deep inside her soul.
36:31What is it?
36:34What?
36:37Really?
36:44What is this?
36:47Christmas.
36:49Music that was playing the night that she was born.
36:55How could a song have so much power?
36:58And power like him?
37:00Like who?
37:01The oldest one.
37:02On the night of her birth.
37:04He can't have been there.
37:06What for?
37:10Who was there?
37:16Enough.
37:22Okay?
37:23I've got you.
37:24I've got you.
37:25What was it?
37:26It's okay.
37:27It's okay.
37:28It's okay.
37:29This creature is very wrong.
37:33And this, this is very, very, very right.
37:41Do you know what this is?
37:44This is the famous Abbey Road Piano.
37:48They call it the Mrs. Mills Piano.
37:52Oh, she was a girl.
37:53We had some adventures, me and Mrs. Mills.
37:56But this, this is the piano that the Beatles will play on their greatest hits.
38:01Penny Lane, Lady Madonna, all from this.
38:05So I know that this piano is rattling with all the potential to send you back to hell.
38:21Music battle.
38:51Music battle.
39:21Music battle.
39:26Music battle.
39:31Music battle.
39:36Music battle.
39:41Music battle.
39:46Music battle.
39:51Music battle.
39:56Music battle.
40:01Music battle.
40:06Go on then.
40:11Do it.
40:14Can you find it?
40:17The lost chord.
40:21Are you enough of a genius?
40:23Oh, I would never call myself that, maestro.
40:26But I have lived.
40:28And I have loved.
40:31And I can only smile like this because I have lost so much.
40:36I've experienced everything.
40:38Every single thing.
40:41And if that's where music comes from...
40:50I can find the chord to banish you.
41:11Rrrrr.
41:13Rrrrr.
41:18Rrrrr.
41:20Rrrr.
41:21Rrrr.
41:23Rrrr.
41:26Rrrr.
41:27Rrrr.
41:31One more.
41:36Just one more.
41:40One more.
41:52Um, no!
41:59Maestro!
42:11No!
42:18Some time.
42:34We're together, Piano!
42:36Sorry to keep harping on!
43:07No!
43:11You ain't no genius!
43:16No!
43:27I just want to go home.
43:29Well, you can't do that.
43:31We need you.
43:33What for?
43:34I'm no good at anything.
43:46God, breathe!
43:48No!
44:02And then a second,
44:04and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth,
44:07and you put them together,
44:09and it feels like the most holy thing on this earth.
44:18No!
44:23No!
44:45The one who waits
44:48is almost here!
44:52No!
45:02Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
45:05Here it comes.
45:07Everywhere!
45:09Music!
45:19We're making music.
45:21The whole city, the whole world!
45:24Yes, yes, yes.
45:26But there is one thing that I should warn you about, Ruby,
45:30and this is really very serious.
45:33With all my adventures throughout time and space,
45:37I have to tell you,
45:39there's always a twist at the end.
45:51There's always a twist, there's always a twist,
45:54there's always a twist at the end.
45:56My friend, your pen, your sandwich, friend,
45:59cos there's always, there's always,
46:02yes, there's always a twist at the end.
46:05Hey!

46:10we've got the jive behind and the stayin' alive,
46:13we've got the conga and the salsa and the mighty big bopper,
46:16the waltz and the schmaltz and the bounce is the boss!
46:19There's always a twist, there's always a twist,
46:22there's always a twist at the end.
46:24There's always a twist, there's always a twist,
46:27there's always a twist at the end.
46:29Pretend, descend, lunge, and we do the bounce,
46:32cos there's always, there's always,
46:35yes, there's always a twist at the end.
46:38There's always a twist at the end.
46:40There's always a twist at the end.
46:43We ain't no fools from Liverpool,
46:45cos there's always a twist at the end.
46:48I always say that the end's with a twist,
46:51that's one good thing that can't be missed.
46:53Have a smashing little dance, let's be known what's best,
46:56cos we're the smart girls from the North West.

47:17there's a special little dance around the race,
47:20and it's all in your eyes.
47:22There's always, there's always, there's always, there's always.
47:35Yes, there's always, there's always a twist at the end.
47:38I say there's always a twist at the end.
47:41What you intend, I can defend,
47:44I think this song will never end.
47:46There's always, always, always a twist at the end.
48:47Where are we?
48:49In the middle of a war.
48:51One wrong move and...
