Doctor Who Meets Scratchman Doctor Who Meets Scratchman , also sometimes titled Doctor Who and the Big Game , was a planned movie written by Tom Baker and Ian Marter . The story was to feature the Doctor , Harry and Sarah as they faced the Devil known as " Scratchman " . Other enemies which were to appear were Scarecrow s which came alive , the Dalek s and a small cameo of the Cybermen . The finale was to take place on a giant pinball table . The movie was to have Vincent Price and Twiggy involved and to be written and directed by James Hill . An article including a synopsis by Marcus Hearn of the film was featured in DWM 379 . Plot . Two Americans , Griffin and his younger colleague Potts , are in the Space Records Bureau in a room with the door marked " Time Lords " . They ' re looking through a section labelled " Dr . Who " intent on finding any information about him . At present day London Airport , a crowd of journalists , teenagers and dignitaries surround the area with policeman struggling to maintain order . Beyond the runway the TARDIS materialises lopsidedly on a small dip in the ground . The Doctor looks out to see the spectacle in the distance believing it ' s probably for him but is in fact for a pop star who ' s arrived there . The Doctor , Sarah and Harry then set off headed for Scotland in 1924 whilst singing the song " Yes , We Have No Bananas " . When they arrive , a shepherd tending to his sheep sees the TARDIS materialise and quickly scurries away . The three then step out , where they see an ideal spot to have a picnic . They find a place on the beach and start to play a game of cricket with Sarah throwing the ball , overshooting the target and the three head out to search for the ball . The Doctor , searching through a nearby field for the ball , hears a strange sound of bones crackling in the distance . He finds an unusually well - dressed scarecrow in the middle of the field , holding the ball . He retrieves the ball and heads back to the picnic , only to find that everything has been wrecked , with a tractor and trailer driving away in the distance at fast speed . The three find an ancient motorbike with sidecar and pursue the tractor to a deserted farmyard . There they approach the black barn to investigate and head up the ladder to the dark loft with the echoing sound of bones crackling . Once up there , they peak through a crack in the floor to the room below and see what appear to be scarecrows ripping open bags of fertiliser and covering their clothes in it , which supposedly brings them to life . Then the scarecrows start to pursue them as they escape via the motorbike and sidecar which got them there . Once on the road they arrive in a deserted village . While there , they explore the empty post office and then return to the empty road with the Doctor thinking of a plan to stop the scarecrows . He then comes up with one involving moths to eat away their clothes and find out what ' s behind all this . Sarah and Harry search for moth larvae all through the night with the Doctor constructing a sprawling contraption . The Doctor sends Harry to fetch some glucose and sugar and Sarah to sew some canvas together , but outside in the dusk the shape of a long shadow sweeps over the ground , giving off a low threatening rasp . High above in the sky what appears to be a bright star is the Sky Plateau , home of the mysterious black shadow creature . The creature addresses rows of Cybor s , metallic robots which are roughly the shape of humans which stand motionless towards the creature . As the creature speaks to them , it ' s shape changes according to the strength of what it ' s saying . In the back comets explode and an image of the Doctor ' s face appears with the Cybors hissing at it . The black shadow creature sends two Cybors to destroy the Doctor and they jump off the plateau to the ground . As Harry searchs for the ingredients in the post office , he ' s nearly grabbed by a scarecrow that looks as if it were dressed for a funeral . Harry closes the door , catching the scarecrow ' s arm between the door and the frame . The door rips the scarecrow ' s coat off and it crumbles into a heap of dust , bones and wood . Leaving the room with the needed items in a wheelbarrow , including a jar of jelly babies , he closes the door unaware of another scarecrow with the door catching it ' s cloak and it collapsing to a pile . Oblivious that yet another scarecrow with a sheep ' s skull is about to attack with his scythe , the wheelbarrow catches on it ' s cloak and it disintegrates , with Harry unaware about all this as he leaves . The shepherd from earlier , drunk on the beach , sees the two Cybors emerge from the water and then scan the area , which they then leave into the darkness with the shepherd throwing the empty bottle he has into the water . In the village hall , the Doctor explains to Sarah the contraption which he ' s built , which he calls a " High Velocity Moth Machine " with the motorbike outside being used to power it . Harry puts the ingredients in before being told by the Doctor to not put the jelly babies in , as he then takes one . The Doctor turns it on and one of the moths starts to hatch and the three start cheering and dancing around it . As it starts to slow down the Doctor gives Harry a can of petrol to fill the bike with . Harry heads to the bike outside but stops when he sees scarecrows surrounding the bike holding gardening tools and a blunderbuss . Harry rushes back in and the Doctor locks the door , stopping them from coming in . He wraps his scarf around the tank with the moths to keep it warm , tells the others that he ' ll be heading back to the barn with the tank and tells Sarah to head to the TARDIS to bring back the P2 which is a power source . He tells Harry to try to divert the scarecrows and gives him a fur coat and straw hat . Harry leaves and heads for the moors as the sun starts to rise . By dawn Sarah reaches the TARDIS and heads to the workshop to find the P2 . The workshop is enormous and seems to stretch to infinity . She finds it and as she ' s about to head out through the console room , the way is blocked by a scarecrow with steel teeth in a cadaverous skull wearing a German helmet . It chases Sarah through to the workshop and past a couple of rooms , including one containing a 50 yard jigsaw puzzle , and through an immense rococo ballroom until they reach a hall of mirrors . Sarah sees a giant grandfather clock which she climbs up into . Inside , like the TARDIS , it ' s bigger on the inside and as large as Big Ben . As she slips through the mechanisms , the scarecrow gets caught between two cogs and as the clock starts to chime at six , Sarah watches as the scarecrow is crushed into tiny pieces . The three meet back at the black barn . Sarah gives the Doctor the P2 , but then the barn explodes and as the smoke clears the two Cybors emerge , lower their weapons and grab Harry . A Cybor ship emerges from the sea and the two Cybors report back to their leader . Their leader reveals his knowledge of the scarecrow experiment and say they no longer want to participate in it . The shepherd appears as one of the Cybor ' s prisoners and as he lurches towards one of them it brushes him off and in a flash he screams as he is disintergrated into dust and his dog runs off . Suddenly , as the Cybors are about to take the Doctor to their ship , a loud warning signal is heard . The two suddenly go past him and back to their ship . As it rises into the air , it suddenly explodes , with the three shielding their eyes from the blast . The Doctor is confused . The Black Shadow appears behind them and it starts to get cold . They suddenly hear a slow and strange melody played in the distance on reed pipes . They reach the TARDIS , where the music is coming from , and see emerge from behind it a familiar horned figure with cloven feet . Unable to believe their eyes , playing a set of reed pipes is the god Pan , while the tune he is playing represents a set of galactic co - ordinates . Understood by what he played , Pan vanishes and inside the TARDIS the Doctor sets the co - ordinates from the tune . As the TARDIS dematerialises , Pan sits atop the TARDIS and then too disappears in mid - air . After travelling through the vortex , the TARDIS materialises on it ' s side . As the Doctor climbs out he sees a blasted volcanic landscape around him and the sound of pipes in the air . The three follow the music as they reach a dark river where a ferry is waiting for them . Standing on it is a cloaked figure who , in a small glimpse under the hood , is revealed to be Pan . As they head down the river , it starts to get rough with the raft being hammered by the waves and plunging into the waves . The three head to the shore with Harry pulling Sarah onto the bank and the Doctor grabbing a cactus as he ' s hanging over the river , watching as the raft goes down and , suddenly , the river turning calm . The Doctor can ' t find the ferryman or Harry and Sarah anywhere . The Doctor starts to explore as he heads towards a vast plain with a severe sun . Ahead he sees what he thinks is a mirage . A black knight on a horse , carrying a spiked ball and chain , charges towards him with the Doctor dodging the attack . The Doctor ' s foot is tangled in some roots and unable to move . Before the knight makes its attack , the Doctor gets two rocks and ties them to the ends of his scarf , creating a makeshift bolas which he throws at the knight , hitting him in neck , which crashes him off his horse and hangs him from a gallows tree . The Doctor frees his foot and walks over to the knight . He opens it ' s visor , but the armour is empty and then crashes into a heap of rusted metal . The Doctor then retrieves his scarf and mounts the horse . He rides the horse across the plain as the pan music changes . The Black Shadow travels behind the horse and he reaches what appears to be a giant egg with scarecrows staring at it . A crack appears to reveal a guillotine with a victim in it having their head sliced off . The victim is later shown to be a scarecrow . As the music stops , the horse halts . Arriving at his destination , the Doctor enters an opulent , oval office and the horse disappears . Inside the office , at the centre of a table , sits a man in a double - cuffed shirt and a pin - striped suit with radiant light sitting on his shoulders as his head . Six other men on either side have similar but different coloured lights . Paintings of them hang behind each with about 50 red telephones on the desk . The man introduces himself to the Doctor as Harry Scratch , listing his other aliases and floats as if weightless . Scratch tries to make a deal with the Doctor , saying if they teamed up they would be invincible , which of course the Doctor refuses as he swings a yo - yo . The Doctor tells Scratch he wants him annihilated . A lift arrives and the Doctor steps in to look for Sarah and Harry . The lift rushes down the shaft at immense speed until it finally stops and the doors open . He finds Harry and Sarah well until they see they ' re on a giant pinball table . The scores are seen on the side with Scratch ' s head dominating the middle . A bell sound is heard and the game begins with Harry , Sarah and the Doctor dodging and sliding balls and flippers with the score getting higher and higher and Scratch ' s head getting brighter . Then the three start scoring themselves , pivoting the balls and reaching a score of five million . Scratch then retaliates as Dalek s start coming from the sides . The three dodge their attacks but , with the smooth surface to their advantage , they could push the Daleks into each other . The Doctor then chooses to let Scratch hit the jackpot by using his scarf to hold the flipper back and letting it hit the ball at the precise moment . Scratch explodes into millions of pieces and the trio head to the top of the table and back to the oval office . Scratch and the headless men ' s suits are empty with their lights not glowing anymore . A ball rolls out of Scratch ' s trousers and the Doctor tells Harry to grab it for the cricket game . Back at the mull in Scotland the three continue their game of cricket . Harry bowls the ball as the Doctor hits it and it breaks into tiny fragments . Inside one of the fragments can be seen a ball and seen inside it is Harry Scratch , but with a lizard ' s body and a tiny glowing head making unearthly noises . However neither the Doctor , Harry or Sarah notice it .
