MRS. HUDSON: There’s all the stuff. All the science equipment. I left it all in boxes. I don’t know what needs doing. Thought I might take it to a school. Would you...?
JOHN: I can’t go back to the flat. Not at the moment. I’m... angry.

JOHN: Yes.
MRS. HUDSON: Bloody specimens in my fridge. Imagine - keeping bodies where there’s food.
