Martha Jones is walking to work and fielding calls from her family members complaining about their father Clive's new girlfriend Annalise who he is bringing to her brother Leo's 21st birthday party. Martha speaks to her sister Tish, brother Leo, and mother Francine who are all unhappy about the age difference between Clive and Annalise. When Martha speaks to Clive and Annalise, she is grossed out after they kiss. As Martha continues on her way to work, a strange man stops her and takes off his tie while smiling, then runs off. Martha arrives at the hospital where she works, but is unsettled after a motorcycle courier briefly stares at her in an

1 EXT. CITY STREET - DAY 2 0845 1
Rush hour, hundreds of people, but all reduced to a
long-lens blur foreground & background, to focus on:
MARTHA JONES, walking along. 23, facing another day at
work, just another face in the crowd. Hold on this.
Then her mobile rings, she recognises the number, and she's
already smiling as she answers -
MARTHA
You're up early! What's happening?
CONTINUED, INTERCUT WITH -
CUT TO:
2 INT. TISH'S FLAT - DAY 2 0845 2
Bedroom, TISH JONES, 24, running round - a mess,
clothes everywhere. She's always late. All on the move:
TISH
It's a nightmare, cos Dad won't
listen, and I'm telling you, Mum
is going mental, swear to God,
Martha, this is epic, you've got
to get in there and stop him -
MARTHA
Well how do I do that?
TISH
Just tell Dad he can't bring her -
Beep on the phone -
MARTHA
Hold on, that's Leo, call you back -
She clicks the phone -
CUT TO:
3 INT. LEO'S FLAT - DAY 2 0845 3
Small bedsit. LEO JONES, 21, bit of a lad, on his mobile.
In b/g, his GIRLFRIEND & 6 month old BABY. On the move:
LEO
Martha, if Mum and Dad start kicking
off, tell 'em I don't even want a
party, I didn't even ask for one,
they can give me the money instead -
MARTHA
Yeah, but why do I have to
tell them, why can't you?!

MARTHA (CONT'D)
(beep)
Hold on, that's Mum, call you back -
CUT TO:
4 INT. FRANCINE'S KITCHEN - DAY 2 0846 4
Nice semi-detatched. FRANCINE JONES on the phone, 47,
slim, professional, packing her briefcase, all on the move:
FRANCINE
I don't mind your father making a
fool of himself in private, but
this is Leo's twenty-first,
everyone's going to be there, and
the entire family is going to look
ridiculous -
MARTHA
Mum, it's a party, I can't stop
Dad bringing his girlfriend -
(beep)
Hold on, that's Dad, call you back -
CUT TO:
5 INT. CLIVE'S STREET - DAY 2 0846 5
CLIVE JONES, 49, getting into nifty second-hand sportscar -
it's way too young for him, very mid-life-crisis.
CLIVE
Martha, now tell your mother, Leo
is my son, and I'm paying for half
that party, I'm entitled to bring
who I like -
MARTHA
I know, but think what it's going
to look like for Mum, if you're
standing there with Annalise -
CLIVE
What's wrong with Annalise?
ANNALISE jumps into the car. All 21 years of her. Dressed
like a Big Brother eviction night.
ANNALISE
Is that Martha? Say hi!
(leans over)
Hi Martha! Hii-iii!
MARTHA
...hiiii Annalise.

ANNALISE
Big kisses! Lots of love! See
you at the party babes!
(to Clive)
Now take me shopping, big boy.
Clive & Annalise, big smoochy kiss -
Martha revolted! Oh! As she holds the phone away -
A MAN steps out in front of her, making her stop -
THE DOCTOR
Like so!
And with a big smile, he takes his tie off. Holds it up.
THE DOCTOR (CONT'D)
D'you see?
And with that, he runs off.
Martha shrugs it off. Nutter. She walks on. Her phone
rings. Defiant, she bleeps it off. Not worn down by any
of this; she keeps her humour, head held high.
FX: REVERSE, Martha walking away from CAMERA, but in the
distance, storm clouds gathering. Lightning, far off.
CUT TO:
6 EXT. HOSPITAL - DAY 2 0855 6
SIGN saying ROYAL HOPE HOSPITAL. Big, central building,
modern (but not too new), one central tower block with
many extensions leading off. MARTHA heading inside.
Behind her, a MOTORCYCLE COURIER is also walking towards
the Hospital, fast, marching along. He just clips her as
he overtakes her, but keeps on walking.
MARTHA
Oy! Watch it, mate!
He turns back. Stares at her. Faceless. Something
unnerving in his absolute stillness.
Martha a bit spooked.
Then he walks on, striding away. Martha unsettled, though
she shakes it off, continues on her way.
