The Clockwork people who terrorise Versailles are disguised repair droids from the space ship. They have basic transmat capabilities and a limited intelligence that may have been damaged by the ion storm, since they began repairing the ship with body parts from the crew. They sought the head of Madame De Pompadour for the ship’s central processor – the brain. The reason for their insane quest was only realised at the end of the adventure when the name of the ship – SS Madame De Pompadour was finally revealed.

Death – When The Doctor broke the last link with the ship the clockwork ran down and the droids seized up. Those that fell down smashed to pieces. The rest became like statues.
