Object
Madame Tussauds Display Room Lights
Overhead lights in the Madame Tussauds display room cast illumination on wax figures until the attendant switches them off. Darkness engulfs the space, sharpening shadows around the Auton-disguised figures and forcing the Doctor and Liz to hide behind a curtain. Channing enters this gloom, senses the alien presence, and heightens the standoff with Hibbert. The blackout masks movements and amplifies unease among waxworks poised to activate.

Significance
Their deactivation plunges the room into darkness that conceals the group's positions, intensifies suspicion around the wax figures, and underscores the Autons' infiltration as Channing detects intruders.
