Reading aloud - Doctor Who

These are lines from a Doctor Who episode, ‘The Time of Angels’.

The Doctor’s companion Amy believes her hand has been turned to stone and she can’t move. They are in danger from terrifying aliens called the Weeping Angels.

Read the lines aloud.

The DOCTOR is examining AMY, flashing a torch in her eyes.

DOCTOR: You looked into the eyes of an Angel, didn't you?

AMY: I couldn't stop myself. I tried.

DOCTOR: Listen. It's messing with your head.

Your hand is not made of stone.

AMY: It is. Look at it!

DOCTOR: It's in your mind. I promise you. You can move that hand. You can let go.

AMY: I can't, OK? I've tried and I can't. It's stone.

The torchlight begins to flicker.

DOCTOR: The Angel is gonna come and it's gonna turn this light off, and then there's nothing I can do to stop it. So do it, concentrate, move your hand!

AMY: I can't.

DOCTOR: Then we're both going to die.

AMY: You're not going to die.

DOCTOR: They'll kill the lights.

The light flickers off and the Angels move closer.

AMY: You've got to go, you know you have. You've got all that stuff with River and that's all got to happen. You know you can't die here!

DOCTOR: Time can be re-written, it doesn't work like that.

The light flickers again. AMY turns to look at the Angels.

DOCTOR: Keep your eyes on it. Don't blink.

AMY: Run!

DOCTOR: You see, I'm not going, I'm not leaving you here.

AMY: I don't need you to die for me, Doctor, do I look that clingy?

DOCTOR: You can move your hand.

AMY: It's stone.

DOCTOR: It's not stone!

AMY: Those people up there will die without you. If you stay here with me, you'll have as good as killed them.

DOCTOR: Amy Pond, you are magnificent. And I'm sorry.

AMY: It's OK. I understand. You've got to leave me.

DOCTOR: Oh, no, I'm not leaving you, never. I'm sorry about this. (He bites her hand and she screams, moving it) See, not stone. Now run!

AMY: You bit me!

DOCTOR: Yep and you're alive.

AMY: I've got a mark! Look at my hand!

DOCTOR: (pulls her behind him) Yeah, and you're alive, did I mention?

They run. (Written by Steven Moffat) Worksheet Entry 1&2
