This is the end
But the moment has been prepared for
Don't you hear the Watcher calling me
Wipe your tears in the grass
For today I change my face
Under the telescope that the Watcher knew (12)
The lights brightened as the 4th Doctor lay motionless on the floor. Then the stage went black. When the lights lightened the stage again, an actor playing the 5th Doctor was now in his place. The lights in the theatre came on as a large holographic screen declared an ‘interval’.
‘They have suspiciously accurate information,’ murmured a mysterious figure wearing a brown hooded robe to the woman sat next to him.

Throw the ball and let me hit it away
Prepare your cricket bat and join me out here
It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy all you have to do
Is whack the ball
Play the game
Everybody play the game called Cricket
When you're feelin' bored and your resistance is low
When you're feelin' bored and your resistance is low
Get out your bat and hit the ball high
This is your life
Don't forget to have some fun
It's a free universe
All you have to do is whack the ball
Play the game
Everybody play the game called Cricket
My game of Cricket has just begun
My game of Cricket has just begun
Life runs from my head down to my toes
My life is pumping through my veins (play the game)
Driving me celery-obsessed
play the game play the game play
the game play the game
Play the game
Everybody play the game called Cricket
This is your life
This is your life
Don't forget to have some fun
It's a free free universe all you have to do is whack the
ball
Play the game
Yeah play the game of called Cricket
Your life
Don't forget to have some fun
It's a free free universe all you have to do is whack the
ball
Play the game - ev'rybody play the game called Cricket (13)
River Song walked back on stage and said ‘The Doctor travelled at this point with three people from his previous adventure called Adric, Nyssa and Tegan.
However, when the Doctor uncovered a Cyberman plot to destroy the Earth with a space freighter, he was about to face one of his biggest emotional shocks yet,’
Adric walked onto the stage as River Song left and climbed into a space freighter prop made of metal as the Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa watched from the right of the stage.
‘No! Adric, NO!’ they screamed as a whooshing sound surrounded the theatre.
An explosion sound effect boomed out of the speakers and the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan collapsed to the floor in grief.
The Doctor stood up and faced the audience as he sang:
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty room and abandoned notebook
Now my friend is dead and gone. (Walks to TARDIS)
Here he talked of Mathematical equations
Here it was we travelled with him
Here he talked about returning home
And home never came. (Enters TARDIS, bed appears on stage to show Adric’s room)
He could sleep until the TARDIS arrived
And he rose with algebra workings
I wish I could hear him now
The very equations that he had solved
The very equations that he had solved
Became his last working outs
On the lonely freighter that launched
Oh my friend, my friend forgive me
On the lonely freighter that launched
Oh my friend, my friend forgive me
That I live and you are gone.
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.
Phantom face in his bedroom
Phantom face in his bedroom
Phantom shadow on the floor.
Empty room and abandoned notebook
Where my friend will sleep no more.
Oh my friend, my friend, don't ask me
Oh my friend, my friend, don't ask me
What your sacrifice was for
Empty room and abandoned notebook
Where my friend will sleep no more (14)
Adric, Nyssa and Tegan walked off stage.
‘Soon, Tegan and Nyssa left him too,’ River said as she waked back on stage. ‘Although, not through death. Tegan got fed up of the death and destruction surrounding the Doctor’s life, whilst Nyssa left to help on 35th century Terminus. The Doctor soon gained a new companion in Peri. However, it wasn’t long before they both fell ill with Spectrox toxaemia and only found enough milk from a queen bat to cure one,’
