Down Amongst The Cybermen


I don't want to CHANGE 

again. NEVER AGAIN! 


.....I can't keep on being

Somebody Else. 



Geezer Butler (Among the Cybermen)




The Absolute Unit : 

(He sits up with a gasp.) 


Dr. Disco : 

Sontarans! Perverting 

The Course of human history! 

....I don't want to go. 

......When The Doctor, 

when The Doctor was me....  When the Doctor was me. 

It's starting. I'm regenerating. No! No! No! No! No! NO


(The regeneration stops, and

 The TARDIS has materialised.) 


Dr. Disco

Where have you taken me? 

If you're trying to make a point, 




I'm not listening. 

I don't want to CHANGE 

again. NEVER AGAIN! 


.....I can't keep on being Somebody Else. 

Wherever it is, I'm staying


(He runs outside and 

The Cloister Bell sounds.)


[Snowstorm]


Dr. Disco

No! 


(He plunges his hands into The Snow 

with a sizzle, and Heals The Earth (Thanks, Doctor) 

The regeneration stops again.) 


Dr. Disco

I will not change. 


Old GrandFather

I will not change. I will not

No, no, no, no. The whole 

thing's ridiculous


Dr. Disco

Hello? Is someone there? 


Old GrandFather 

Who is that? 


Dr. Disco :

I'm The Doctor. 


(The elderly figure in checked trousers,  cape, 

scarf and astrakhan hat comes into view.) 


Old GrandFather

The Doctor. Oh, 

I don't think so. 


No, dear me, no.

 You may be a Doctor, 

but I am The Doctor. 


The original, you might say. 


(Taking hold of his lapels just like 

William Hartnell used to do.)
