"Yes." John confirms.
"It's just as I thought!" The Doctor exclaims. "I knew I'd remembered correctly. The War of the Worlds, yes?" He questions.
"You've panicked half the city into believing there's an alien invasion underway." Celestia finishes off for him.
"So it would seem." John says.
"Well, there is." The Doctor says.
"Are you a reporter?" Orson asks.
"Gentlemen, I need your help. This planet is in grave danger. An extraterrestrial force has landed, and it'll probably be quite a job to get shot of them." The Doctor explains.
"Are you serious?" John questions.
"What do you want us to do?" Orson asks.
"Can you get your actors back together again?" Celestia asks.
"What's all this in aid of?" John questions.
"We'll explain later. Can you get them?" Celestia insists.
"I doubt if anybody could get through the mob outside." Orson says.
"We did." The Doctor states.
"But the police." Orson says, confused.
Yeah, the cops and me have a, an understanding." Chaney says.
"How reassuring." Orson says.
"On second thoughts, we don't have time." Celestia frowns.
"We'll have to do some doubling up." The Doctor says.
"Care to enlighten us, Doctor, Celestia?" Charley asks them.
"Once the TARDIS is here, all will become clear. Now, let's get to the studio." The Doctor says.
"Whatever you say." Orson says.
"Cheer up, Orson. The play's the thing, in which thou we'll the conscience of the King." The Doctor says.
"Er, er, how's that?" Orson asks.
"Hamlet." Celestia frowns.
"You've lost me there, Doctor, Celestia, whoever you are." Orson says.
"But sure?" The Doctor was about to say something but Celestia interrupts.
"Oh, never mind. Now, we'll need scripts." She says.
Everyone is rustling of pages of a script.
"All right, everyone, are we all clear?" The Doctor asks.
"I think so, Doctor." Orson says.
"Remember, nothing must break the frame." The Doctor says.
"Keep up the illusion as long as you can." Celestia finishes off.
"We can't broadcast this again, they'll crucify us." John says.
"Don't worry, this particular production is going out on a very special frequency, and to a very select audience." The Doctor explains.
"Orson?" Celestia looks at him.
"Okay, Mr Chaney, Jack, Charley. Shall we start with the weather forecast?" Orson asks.
"Just like before?" John asks.
"Just like before." Orson confirms. "Go ahead."
John clears his throat.
"You're on!" Celestia exclaims in whisper.
"Maximum temperature sixty-six, minimum forty-eight. This weather report comes to you from the Government Weather Bureau. We now take you to the" John continues to talk as Charley whispers.
