1
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:07,880
Merry Christmas!
2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,520
In this festive special...
3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,000
The whole set was like
a bucking bronco.
4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,960
..we slide into Christmas
with Ncuti Gatwa
5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,640
and guest star Nicola Coughlan...
6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,160
- It is quite tilted, isn't it?
- It looks like on TV
7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,680
it might be that,
but it's genuinely like that!
8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,400
..we get seasonal writing tips
from Steven Moffat...
9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,280
An awful lot
of Doctor Who episodes,
10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,320
if you just stuck
a bit of snow in,
11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,760
would do fine on Christmas Day,
12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,040
- in all honesty. - Yeah.
13
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,560
..I get a festive face-lift...
14
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,440
I'm looking at me, but it's not me.
15
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,760
That's not me, but it is me.
16
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,040
Do you know what I mean?
17
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,560
..and spoiler alert -
18
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,160
we've got an Unleashed
exclusive clip
19
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,360
from the upcoming new season
of Doctor Who.
20
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,240
My name is Steffan Powell.
21
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Welcome to the Christmas 2024 episode
22
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,720
of Doctor Who: Unleashed.
23
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,240
And...action!
24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,160
Season's greetings
from the Whoniverse!
25
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,760
In this episode,
we're going behind the scenes
26
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,960
of Joy To The World,
27
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:09,600
Ncuti Gatwa's second Christmas
special as the Doctor.
28
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,200
Oh!
29
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,520
I think we should have
that door shut.
30
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,720
And in the name
of all things timey-wimey,
31
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,720
it's worth noting
that this Christmas special
32
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,320
was shot across
October and November 2023,
33
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,760
before Ncuti's
first Christmas special,
34
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,160
The Church On Ruby Road,
even hit the screens.
35
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440
When you explain things,
do people feel any better?
36
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,600
- Not usually. No. - Mm.
37
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,280
What did you like about
this particular Christmas...?
38
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,840
This is your second
Christmas episode,
39
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,480
so I feel like you can compare
and contrast.
40
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,120
I know. Second Christmas ep,
41
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,880
before the first one's came out.
42
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,080
It is a brain scramble.
Uh, no, this Christmas ep
43
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,840
I enjoyed so much.
44
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,320
I enjoyed the script.
45
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:51,560
Steven Moffat, uh,
back doing what he does best.
46
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,480
There's always, like, a kind of
spiritual undercurrent
47
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,840
to his scripts, um,
48
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,560
which is really...powerful
and interesting
49
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,320
- to have in a sci-fi script. - Yeah.
50
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,800
A seasoned seasonal scripter,
51
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,520
this will be Steven's
ninth Christmas special.
52
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,640
He's already given us such
belters as Last Christmas...
53
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Hello, Doctor.
54
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560
..The Time Of The Doctor
55
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,360
and Twice Upon A Time.
56
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,320
I don't suppose
either of you is a doctor.
57
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,200
In order to get the full scoop
on this year's script,
58
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,320
we're going to have to travel
back in time
59
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,080
to meet the main man himself.
60
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Right, so it is
61
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,320
- July 20th, 2023. - Mm.
62
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,600
You've just finished the
wrapping of the first series
63
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,880
- with Ncuti. - Yeah.
64
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,280
I thought I was having a break
for a few months,
65
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,920
but here we are, talking to you,
66
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:48,600
because you're busy writing
the Christmas episode for 2024.
67
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,280
- Yeah. - Shouldn't you be on holiday?
68
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,480
Well, I have been.
I have been on holiday.
69
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,560
I'm not going to pretend
70
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,040
I'm working as hard
as the Doctor Who team,
71
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,240
or as hard as I used to work.
72
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,240
- Yeah. - But, yeah,
I've been on holiday
73
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,160
and I'm now writing
the Christmas special,
74
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,640
basically so Russell doesn't
have to.
75
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:05,680
- Is that...? - Let's not dress it up.
76
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,920
Let's not beat around the bush.
77
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,440
- Yeah. - He didn't fancy this one!
78
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,240
So how long does it take you
79
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,400
to get from the beginning
to having a finished version?
80
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,080
Generally speaking,
I'd say it's four weeks.
81
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,320
- Is that all?
- Yeah, but it was four weeks
82
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,080
spread over about nine
or something, unfortunately,
83
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,200
- in this case... - Yeah.
84
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,000
- ..cos real life got in the way.
- Yeah.
85
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,280
The first part of the process
was having an idea.
86
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,520
- Did you have one, just...?
- No, I didn't.
87
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,960
So I batted ideas
back and forth with Russell,
88
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,240
and it was always a case of, but...
89
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,520
On one occasion...
90
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,040
- : "Steven,
you've already done that one!"
91
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160
I said, "So I have." And then...
92
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,800
"Oh, I'm doing that one,"
he said, "I've got that idea."
93
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,240
We quite often have
the same ideas,
94
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,440
but that did put me in the notion
95
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,080
of the hotel, the Time Hotel,
96
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,640
with all the different eras
buzzing away inside it...
97
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,000
- Yeah. - ..partly because...
98
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,720
..it's true!
Have you ever noticed
99
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,880
how many times in a hotel room
there's another door...
100
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,240
- Yeah! - ..and it's locked?
101
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,360
It's locked.
102
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,200
Well, that door's always been
locked.
103
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,680
What the hell
is that other door?
104
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,080
What the hell is that other...?
Every single one!
105
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Oh, it's just that door, isn't it?
106
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,240
There's always a door like that
in a hotel room.
107
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,440
A funny locked one.
108
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,040
Inexplicably, it's there,
109
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,800
and it's always sodding locked.
110
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Now, in this version of
reality - which is, of course,
111
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,200
the absolute truth -
what has happened is,
112
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,920
in the far future, the human race
113
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,040
develops time travel,
and all the hotel chains
114
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,640
realise they've got
a lot of unsold rooms
115
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,760
they could have a second go at,
back in history.
116
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,800
So they install these
extra doors back in history
117
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,360
so they can sell unsold rooms.
118
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,440
Do you know what?
119
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,280
This solves the biggest mystery
in the known universe -
120
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:42,600
why is there always an extra
door in your hotel room,
121
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,720
and why is it always locked?
122
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,880
Cos that is the way
to the Time Hotel!
123
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,720
So what makes a good Christmas
episode for you, then?
124
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,520
I don't think it is massively
different
125
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,120
from any other episode
of Doctor Who, honestly,
126
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,120
but it does mention Christmas
a lot. Right?
127
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,560
But an awful lot
of Doctor Who episodes,
128
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,320
if you just stuck
a bit of snow in,
129
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,880
would do fine on Christmas Day,
in all honesty.
130
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,080
This one is quite witty.
131
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,880
It's quite a funny episode.
132
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Is that intentional?
133
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Ham and cheese toastie,
and a pumpkin latte!
134
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,240
Ham and cheese toastie
and a pumpkin latte?
135
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,280
Ham and cheese toastie
and a pumpkin latte.
136
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,400
I was asked, you know,
"Let's have a funny one."
137
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,240
- Mm-hm. - But, you know,
Doctor Who's a funny show.
138
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,000
A lot of science fiction's
quite solemn.
139
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,680
- Mm. - Quite serious.
140
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,880
- And Doctor Who is cheeky
and funny. - Yeah.
141
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,880
You like serious bits?
Here's serious bits!
142
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,320
You like funny bits?
Here's funny bits!
143
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,080
You like explosions?
We got explosions!
144
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,480
You like monsters? Monsters!
Pretty people? Pretty people!
145
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,640
Right? You just fling it at the
screen, it's Doctor bloody Who!
146
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,560
- Yeah. - Beat that, Casualty!
147
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,440
Filming on Joy To The World
began on 23rd October, 2023.
148
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,560
Just three months earlier,
for last season's finale,
149
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,280
we filmed companion Ruby Sunday
stepping off the TARDIS
150
00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,320
to spend time
with her new-found family.
151
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,480
So the opening of this episode
finds the Doctor
152
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,520
in a situation nobody
should be in at Christmas.
153
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,680
He's alone.
He's lost his companion,
154
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,440
and so he's just dealing
with that returning pain
155
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,040
and trying to fill that void
with an adventure.
156
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,240
- Somebody else in there?
- N...
157
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Oh, yes.
158
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,040
Habit.
159
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,080
It's an interesting place
160
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,960
to find the Doctor because
he needs a human with him.
161
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,120
This is a character
that needs a companion.
162
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,160
And it seems
he's not the only one.
163
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,520
Inadvertently checking in
to this adventure is Joy,
164
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,440
played by Nicola Coughlan.
165
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,920
Cut. That's the shot.
166
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,480
Joy is such... She's such a
little match girl at Christmas.
167
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,200
She's valiant, she's brave,
and she's decided
168
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,640
to be alone for Christmas,
169
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,640
but with a great spirit
that keeps her fighting.
170
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,160
Do you have a room, please?
Just for the week.
171
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,640
Single?
172
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,600
Oh! Does it show?
173
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,320
- Room, I mean. - Oh...
174
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,360
And then, what better thing could
happen than for a Time Lord
175
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,720
to walk into that person's life?
176
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,440
Ham and cheese toastie
and a pumpkin latte.
177
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,320
Joy is the kind of person
178
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,600
who you know how sad they are
by how often they smile.
179
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,240
Really, really sad people
are always putting a front up.
180
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,360
They're always smiling
through it. There's a line
181
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,400
in the script which nearly fell out,
182
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,800
I'm glad it stayed in,
where, the Doctor says...
183
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,520
Have you seen your smile?
184
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,080
Like the lid on a boiling pot.
185
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,280
You're angry, you're sad,
186
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,440
you're...ready for a fight.
187
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,560
Sorry. Am I in the way?!
188
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Oh, this is just men all over,
isn't it?
189
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,480
Even lizard men.
190
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,240
I think Nicola's got
191
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,080
the sparkiest,
most extraordinary smile,
192
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,680
which is the one thing I really
massively wanted for her.
193
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,600
I don't want her to be someone
who looked sad.
194
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,280
You see the sadness in the eyes
195
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,280
and you see the eyes
above a smiling mouth,
196
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,640
and she captures that perfectly.
197
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,440
Renowned for playing Clare Devlin
in sitcom Derry Girls,
198
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,800
and Penelope Featherington
in period drama Bridgerton,
199
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,320
Nicola was slightly wary
of joining the Whoniverse.
200
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,120
When I got the call
from Russell T Davies
201
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,960
asking me to do this,
my first fear was,
202
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,440
if I have to get up
at three o'clock in the morning
203
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,760
to get prosthetics on, I'm not
really looking forward to that.
204
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,760
But when I found out
that I was a human,
205
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,840
I was gung ho.
I was in Cardiff already.
206
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,120
It was great.
207
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,040
- Ohh!
- It's quite tricky
208
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,640
describing what it was like
working with Nicola,
209
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,640
because everything just sounds
like a bad pun,
210
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,840
because she was a joy,
she is a star.
211
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,520
Nicola, this is your first day on
set.
212
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,240
- How are you feeling? - I'm good.
213
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,080
It's a big old scene. It's like
ten pages of dialogue.
214
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,880
There's people running
in and out of doors,
215
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,840
and there's magic things happening
216
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,800
with briefcases,
and evil and dying
217
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,160
- and disappearing and... - Yeah.
- It's all happening all at once.
218
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,360
So instead of easing you in,
219
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,040
they've just thrown you...
There you are, straight in.
220
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,240
- Straight in the deep end!
- Why not? - Yeah, yeah.
221
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,640
I'm so sorry.
This has never happened before.
222
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,880
It feels like an old-school
223
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,800
farce play, with
all these things happening,
224
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,400
but it's hard because, you know,
225
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,160
we don't get, like,
a lot of rehearsal time,
226
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,720
so trying to figure out
227
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,680
everyone's entrance, and this line
comes in here and here,
228
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,160
and the timing's so important,
229
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,440
so it's definitely a juggling act.
230
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,960
But then, when you have
really talented actors
231
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,280
- you're doing it with, it makes it...
- Yeah. - ..it makes it really fun.
232
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,640
On the first day
of Christmas,
233
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,800
my true love gave to me
four TARDIS trinkets,
234
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,200
three lonely lives,
235
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,880
two Time Lords talking...
236
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,000
Ohh! How can there be two of you?
237
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,520
..and a star seed in a briefcase.
238
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,040
And with all of history
now available as mini-breaks,
239
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,400
lots of sets to play on.
240
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,480
This here is the Orient Express,
which is very exciting for me
241
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,680
because I'm a bit
of an Agatha Christie nerd,
242
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,640
so it's really cool to be
on this set because, of course,
243
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,160
the Doctor visits here
from the Time Hotel.
244
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,200
As well as the Orient Express,
245
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,440
just over here we have Everest.
246
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,040
Not millions of miles away,
247
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,560
but instead just in Cardiff.
248
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:56,360
I actually feel colder,
stood here. It's a bit weird.
249
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,000
But one set in particular
needed to be
250
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,240
less Jingle Bells
and more jungle hell.
251
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,520
Working
on the jungle platform was...
252
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,520
..precarious.
253
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,240
Ncuti and I loved sliding
down.
254
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,680
We were like a pair of kids, and
then having to be pulled back up,
255
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,480
you know, between takes. I loved
that, it was really great.
256
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,680
You know, there was one point
I properly screamed...
257
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:28,400
..and I was like,
"That wasn't even acting."
258
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,080
I just was like, "Oh, God,
259
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,160
"I'm going to fall off
the edge of this set."
260
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,360
The whole set was like
a bucking bronco.
261
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,640
And that was mad...to watch!
262
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,840
The crew have to reset everything
263
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,400
after each take, and fall over
in the process of doing so!
264
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,680
Oh! Pomegranate on the loose!
265
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:52,440
Oh! That was fun!
266
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,440
But how do you get
an entire set to move and shake
267
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,040
like it's been eaten
by a Christmas carnivore?
268
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,280
Let's rewind five weeks.
269
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,560
Right, Danny,
270
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:08,160
- there's a big metal complicated
object behind us. - Yes.
271
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,320
- What is it?
- Yeah. What is that thing?
272
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,240
Well, it's something that we've had
on Doctor Who before, actually.
273
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,160
So this is what we call a gimbal.
274
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,200
It's a platform that moves.
275
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,240
- We're building a set on it.
- Yeah.
276
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,400
And part of the action is,
it's got to tip
277
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,160
with the Doctor on it,
and there's lots of chaos.
278
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Seen this man before?
279
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,960
Back in the noughties,
Danny was an SFX technician
280
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,960
who appeared regularly
on Doctor Who Confidential.
281
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,600
You know, snow everywhere.
282
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,240
clearing it up, but...
I'm quite lucky I'm not
283
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,920
Now, thanks to all
the experience he gained then,
284
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,840
Danny runs his own SFX company,
working on Doctor Who,
285
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,640
His Dark Materials
and The Expendables,
286
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,600
amongst many other productions.
287
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,400
What we're trying to create here
288
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,400
is going to be
a really cool action sequence,
289
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,720
so I can't wait
to start getting stuck into it
290
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,000
and see the end result.
291
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,840
Fast-forward again and I'm on
the completed set with Danny.
292
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,160
I've got no idea
what it's going to feel like.
293
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,240
It feels weird. Yeah.
294
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,600
- Does it? - It does feel weird, yeah.
So there we go. - Oh, yeah.
295
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,160
Yeah. So, because it's so big,
it feels...
296
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,760
It feels weird... Oh, there we go.
297
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,040
- First casualty. - Breaking the set,
that's good. - There we go. Sorry.
298
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,840
But you feel like...
You do have to lean into it.
299
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,160
- Big time, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
300
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,200
- Working on my core here.
- Yeah, that's it.
301
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,800
I do worry, though.
We're now...
302
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,040
We are now wrecking the set.
303
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,560
We should probably stop there!
304
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:25,400
We'd better go. Danny, thank you
so much.
305
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,520
Thank you very much.
Good to see you.
306
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,120
I'm going to get my sea legs walking
off, though.
307
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,080
- I'm going to be wobbly as anything.
- Yeah. Don't feel sick.
308
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,760
Yeah, it's left me feeling
seasick.
309
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,720
But how was it for Nicola?
310
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,200
I'm actually really loving
it. I didn't think I liked stunts.
311
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,280
Maybe I just didn't like
the ones I've had to do before.
312
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,640
But this is great,
because it's literally just...
313
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Like, it's moving so much.
We were just saying
314
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,520
- it's extremely tilty. - Yeah.
315
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,720
Very tilty.
Very tilty, Doctor!
316
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Very tilty. Very tilty.
317
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,280
- It's genuinely like that! - Yeah.
- So you properly are sliding,
318
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,000
and sort of on edge
when you stand up,
319
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,440
Ncuti and I were sort of doing
Matrix moves.
320
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,560
Full Matrix moment.
321
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,120
Everyone's having a Matrix moment.
322
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,920
Up until now, you've done
lots of, you know, comedy roles.
323
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,160
Do you think maybe action
is a natural next step...
324
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,440
- Well, who knows? - ..for you after
this?
325
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,840
I've actually surprisingly
enjoyed this,
326
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,240
so maybe it's
opened up a whole new world.
327
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,280
Yeah.
328
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,880
Still to come on
Doctor Who: Unleashed...
329
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,160
You can see the lighting
underneath there.
330
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,880
- Is that what it looks like?
- Yeah. - Wow!
331
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,520
We reveal how you can go Hollywooding
with a MacGuffin,
332
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,320
I get a Christmas makeover...
333
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,320
I'm looking at me, but it's not me.
334
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,360
..and spoiler alert!
335
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,120
We've got a world-exclusive peek
336
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,440
at the next series of Doctor Who.
337
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,920
But first...
338
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,320
- Excuse me. - Hi.
339
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,640
Are there any room-service
menus available in the lobby?
340
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,760
Of course, sir. You just pay
on the blue diamond.
341
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,520
..whether it's room-service menus
342
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,560
or leaflets advertising
Time Hotel packages,
343
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,800
the finest detail matters.
344
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,480
Ancient Rome, the fall of Troy,
your favourite assassination.
345
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,160
In the Doctor's hotel bedroom,
346
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,280
that meant the graphics
department creating
347
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,080
a year's worth of thoughts
and doodles
348
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,800
from the mind of a Time Lord.
349
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,480
So, for this episode's
Work Experience, I'm shadowing
350
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,680
graphic trainee Danny
to see how it's done.
351
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,080
What is...? What is this?
352
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,960
Uh, they're Gallifreyan scribbles
353
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,320
and, you know, bits of, like,
science bits thrown in between.
354
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,560
So it's all smart mumbo jumbo.
355
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,600
Yeah. I like how scientific it is,
356
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,880
you know, mumbo jumbo is a good
term,
357
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:29,960
- I think. - Yeah.
358
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,760
Tasked with designing
and then filling a whole wall
359
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,080
with the Doctor's doodles,
360
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,080
it's taken Danny
and the graphics department
361
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,560
around 11 hours a day for 15 days
362
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,560
to produce a mountain
of hand-drawn scribbles
363
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,960
and photocopies.
364
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,440
But you've been in the graphics team
for how long now?
365
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,800
- About two months. - Two months?
- Two months in total.
366
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,520
Yeah. But you've been on the show
367
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,440
for longer than that, right?
So where were you before?
368
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,520
How have you ended up with your
beautiful handwriting,
369
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,240
drawing Gallifreyan scribbles?
370
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,400
I was in the production
office
371
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,840
for the past series
and over the specials
372
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,160
for about a year and a half
before I moved over here.
373
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,840
Yeah. And so when did you decide
374
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,040
that it was graphics
that you wanted to be in?
375
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,920
By the end of my contract, I was
like...
376
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,760
I wasn't really sure
what I wanted to do,
377
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,160
I just knew I wanted something
more creative.
378
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,560
- Mm-hm. - I loved, like, doodling
379
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,440
and making things
when I was younger,
380
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,960
and I wanted a way in
to the art department.
381
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,000
And, you know, I'd pop in every now
and then
382
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,640
to see what I really fancied doing.
383
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,320
I love the stuff
that they make here.
384
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Like, you pop... You know,
you walk past and you see
385
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,520
all of the stuff that
they have, like, pinned up,
386
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,200
and it's just stuff
they've made from scratch.
387
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,720
Yeah. Loads of spoilers over there,
so we can't turn the camera...
388
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,400
- We're not going to... - It's spoiler
o'clock over there.
389
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,760
The stuff over there is
so cool, though.
390
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,120
- Like, yeah, it's really cool. - Yeah.
391
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,520
- You've got some cool stuff
coming. - Yeah, yeah.
392
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,920
It's really cool stuff that you
can't see right now, but it's there.
393
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,040
Did you just keep finding more
and more excuses to come over?
394
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,040
"Oh, I've left my pen over
in the graphics department.
395
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,240
"I must go back!"
396
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,640
Yeah, "I really need to ask
Stephen about that thing
397
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,840
"I saw earlier, three weeks ago."
398
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,800
"Oh, that's my CV there on the
table. That's a coincidence."
399
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,960
- So... - And so here we are.
400
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,920
Now, you're dressing
one of the key scenes
401
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,560
in the episode. How does it feel?
402
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,560
It's pretty damn unreal.
403
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,640
When you finally watch it,
after it comes out,
404
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,440
you're going to just sit there
in your living room,
405
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,680
- and be like, "That was me, bro."
- Yeah. Pretty cool. - Yeah.
406
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,800
Now, Danny, do you think...?
407
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,280
Let's not tell
anyone, it's our secret.
408
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,560
Can I draw a thing
409
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,800
and put it on a paper
that then goes on the set
410
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,480
and goes in the show?
411
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,960
- Uh... - If I could just...
412
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,120
No-one's listening.
It's just me and you.
413
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,480
I'll just...
414
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,920
My handwriting's not as nice,
but I can do one of these circles.
415
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,360
I mean, if it kind of
looks like that, maybe.
416
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,480
Yeah? OK.
417
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,920
If it doesn't,
I'll tell you it will,
418
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,080
and then it can stay, like,
pinned under my desk here.
419
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,960
Yeah. Let's see how we go first.
420
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,800
- Let's see how we... - Yeah. - Yeah.
421
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,280
I mean, you can see...
422
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,520
- Yeah. I'm going to borrow inspiration
from your previous work. - Mm-hm.
423
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,120
I mean, that sounds
like tracing, but...
424
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,640
It sounds like tracing, but...
425
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,040
It looks like tracing.
426
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,320
Well, it depends
on your definition of tracing.
427
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,360
I might be a while,
cos of my creative process...
428
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Yeah.
429
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,640
- Oh, that's beautiful.
- Thank you.
430
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,400
- I'll just lend some more
inspiration from you here. - Hmm.
431
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,360
Oh, I know what I'm going to do.
432
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:14,200
Oh, that looks good. I reckon
if the rest of it was...
433
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,240
..the same...
434
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,520
Yeah, the rest of the circle
was outlined,
435
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,240
- I think it'd look solid. - Yeah.
436
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Stephen, what do you think?
437
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,440
Let's have a look.
438
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,600
Just, bit of context.
439
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,640
It's freehand and, um...
440
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,080
The fact that you have to give
context says enough.
441
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,600
Now, Danny, come on.
442
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,800
I think it's great.
443
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:31,920
- Yeah? - Amazing.
444
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,480
- Yeah. - Well, genuinely,
445
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,680
not a million miles off, is it?
446
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,640
- No, it's great. - No, it's actually
not... You know.
447
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,120
Set worn?
448
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,840
I mean, you can't really tell
the difference, can you?
449
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,880
- Really? - No.
450
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,520
- I look like I did that one
earlier, didn't I? - Yeah.
451
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,800
With Danny's drawings in place,
there's just one thing needed
452
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,920
to give it that final
golden flourish.
453
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,560
This is one
I've been keeping to the end.
454
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,640
It's not the best, but it's
still beautiful in its own way.
455
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,680
So we're just going to hide it...
456
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,760
..somewhere in there.
457
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,360
Beautiful.
458
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,040
Let's see if it stays in the show.
459
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,760
- Chair night. - Chair night!
460
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,000
On the yellow!
Put your foot on the yellow!
461
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,720
- I can't, I'm all twisted!
- It's called Twister!
462
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,760
- Miss Scarlett?
- Yeah, in the kitchen,
463
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,240
with the lead pipe.
464
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,600
- Miss Scarlett? - Yeah,
in the kitchen, with the lead pipe.
465
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,080
Whey!
466
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,240
Mm.
467
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,960
There is one unspoken star
in Joy To The World
468
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,320
that is in just as many scenes
as Ncuti and Nicola,
469
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,400
doesn't utter a single word,
but is central to the story.
470
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,000
It's this briefcase.
471
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,840
In telly and film speak, the
briefcase is a classic MacGuffin.
472
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,040
A MacGuffin is an object,
an event, or a character
473
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,800
which in itself is insignificant,
474
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,400
but it keeps the plot rolling.
475
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,320
Famous MacGuffins include
476
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,720
the stone in Harry Potter
And The Philosopher's Stone,
477
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,880
the One Ring in Lord Of The Rings,
478
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,480
and the Ark of the Covenant
in Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
479
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,640
This MacGuffin contains
the star seed...
480
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,840
..except it doesn't, because
there wasn't just one briefcase
481
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,160
in the episode, there were several.
482
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,800
Let's go and find out why.
483
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,080
In a far-flung corner
of Wolf Studios,
484
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,240
there's a workshop not entirely
dissimilar to Santa's,
485
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,680
except here,
the elves work exclusively
486
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,520
on making props for Doctor Who.
487
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,040
Now, Michael,
I am noticing a lot of...
488
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,720
How many of these briefcases
did you have to buy?
489
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:56,800
Because you...
490
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,040
I think we've got about seven.
Six or seven.
491
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,440
- Obviously, not all of them are being
used for the same purpose. - Yeah.
492
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,600
We've got two of these.
493
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,040
One is going to be
the nice, shiny, newish one
494
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,840
that's opened in the hotel room.
495
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,240
- Yeah. - And the other one
496
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,640
is going to be the one
that's been buried
497
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,360
- under a tomb for 65 million years.
- Yeah.
498
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,360
So this is going to be aged
and look all weathered.
499
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,400
And then we've got
a couple of, um, stunt...
500
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,880
I call them stunt ones,
501
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,080
but we've got a couple of them
that they can run around with
502
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,400
and we won't have to worry
about them bashing.
503
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,000
Yeah, cos there's a lot
of electricity,
504
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,840
- sort of clever soldering
going on in there, isn't there? - Yes.
505
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,760
You can see the lighting
underneath there.
506
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,280
- Is that what it looks like? - Yeah.
507
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,280
- Wow. - And this is the MacGuffin
for this Christmas.
508
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,880
So it's got to look good,
but also be practical as well.
509
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,480
- Yes. - Is that something that you
had to think about?
510
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:44,560
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
511
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,360
This is quite heavy. I mean, if
you want to give that a lift...
512
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:47,520
Yeah.
513
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,880
There's a fair amount of weight
to that.
514
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,240
- Oh, yeah. It's actually quite heavy.
- Yeah.
515
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,520
So, therefore, we have versions
which are just standard briefcases
516
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,040
- with nothing in them. - Yeah.
517
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,320
So that's what they're running
around with?
518
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,680
Yeah. So they'll be running
around with these,
519
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,800
which are significantly lighter.
520
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,720
Oh, yeah. I can deal with that!
521
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,280
- You can do that all day long. - Fine.
522
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,880
Then we have our pop-up one there.
523
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,240
Yeah. Jazzy one.
524
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,440
Yes, our singing and dancing one.
525
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,520
So when they close the case,
it will then pop up.
526
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,040
Look at that!
527
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,040
So then the Doctor will run up
528
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,680
and then kind of enter
the code, so 7214,
529
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,440
and then it got accepted
and it'll go back down again.
530
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,360
I mean, I might be easily pleased,
531
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,040
- but that looks fantastic, doesn't it?
Looks great. - It's great.
532
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,920
So we've got several
briefcases combining
533
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,440
to make a MacGuffin, right?
And in order to make sure
534
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,640
that this MacGuffin works seamlessly,
535
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,080
there has to be some Hollywooding.
536
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,160
Honestly, I'm not making this up.
537
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,000
The film business is full of jargon,
538
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,240
which is picked up who knows where.
539
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,760
I call it Hollywooding,
540
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,840
in Hollywood,
they call it Hollywooding,
541
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,560
but the idea is that,
it's a camera gag.
542
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,200
You could be moving the camera
and a prop person will come in
543
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,000
and take the prop out
and put something back in.
544
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,320
And action!
545
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,080
No, don't do that.
Don't open it!
546
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,600
Don't even know
why you are saying that,
547
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,640
so let's find out.
548
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,840
So for the briefcase
in Joy's bedroom,
549
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,240
what we would do, we would
run up to the bit of dialogue
550
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,040
where they have to open it,
551
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,240
and then we would take out
the case that was light enough
552
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,480
for Nicola to carry
553
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,640
and put the heavy one in
that had the star seed,
554
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,360
and then, boom, action,
we'd start again.
555
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:22,920
And action!
556
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,360
..why you are saying that,
so let's find out, shall we?
557
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,040
Open it up,
there's the star seed.
558
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,560
Oh, my goodness!
And then they'd shut it.
559
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,920
- Close it!
560
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,280
There. Closed.
561
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,760
Bags of time.
562
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,880
And then the little timer's
about to come out.
563
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,680
So we say,
"OK, and...hold your action."
564
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,320
And we'd Hollywood in
the next briefcase
565
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,280
that had the little clock
that comes out
566
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,200
and our prop person
would be standing there
567
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,600
with a remote control,
and I'd say, "OK. And action."
568
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,080
Ready? And...action!
569
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,280
- Close it!
570
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,120
There. Closed.
571
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:05,400
Bags of time.
572
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,800
And then...
573
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,920
with the little timer.
..out it comes
574
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,840
So, that's Hollywooding.
575
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,800
As all you Whovians
would have noted,
576
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,320
the Time Hotel manager
is a Silurian,
577
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,880
a race of reptilian humanoids
who first appeared in Doctor Who
578
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,120
way back in the 1970s.
579
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:27,360
Hello.
580
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:29,560
Are you a Silurian?
581
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,400
Since then, they've reappeared
pretty frequently
582
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,480
with regrades and glow-ups.
583
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,320
You are beautiful.
584
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,560
Inhabiting this latest model
is actor Jonathan Aris,
585
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,000
a Moffat alumni
who has appeared
586
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,040
in Steven's series
Sherlock and Dracula.
587
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,200
Can I just say
how fantastic you look?
588
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,560
- Oh. - In the flesh.
- Well, thank you very much.
589
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,120
Is this what you were envisaging?
590
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:52,680
No. Probably not.
591
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,080
It was to play a hotel manager.
It's not quite what you think
592
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,800
- you're going to end up looking like.
- Yeah.
593
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,440
And then how disappointing
is it when you find out
594
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,640
what it is and you think,
"Oh, brilliant,
595
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,800
I'm going to be in Doctor Who,
596
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,480
"but you're not going to be
able to see my face at all,
597
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,880
"I'm going to be covered
from head to toe"?
598
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,240
Oh, it's not disappointing at all.
599
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,440
It's pretty thrilling.
600
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,480
I haven't done much work
that looks anything like this,
601
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,040
so it's a real journey for me.
602
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,280
- Yeah. - I'm loving it.
603
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,360
Does it have an impact
on your performance,
604
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:16,880
just when you've got this stuff on?
605
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,440
Yeah, for sure.
It's a funny thing, though,
606
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,560
because as much as you want
to inhabit the sort of alien look,
607
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,560
you also want to be
a believable character,
608
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,480
and those two things
are slightly pulling
609
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,840
- in different directions. - Yeah.
610
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,320
So you're quite glad
you took the call
611
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,200
to be the hotel manager,
now you're on set?
612
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,280
- Very glad. Very glad.
Very honoured. - Yeah.
613
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,560
As this is the festive season,
614
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,360
and I've spent months
and months geeking out
615
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:43,200
about the prosthetics
and the creatures on set,
616
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,680
I dropped Santa a line.
617
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,840
- Hello, Neill! - Hello!
618
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,440
- Hello. Nice to see you.
- You too.
619
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,000
And as I've been a good boy,
he's granted me
620
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,640
an extra special Christmas gift...
621
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,360
Oh, indeed. We're all ready for you.
622
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:54,440
I'm very excited, Neill.
623
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,000
Are you ready for the
transformation?
624
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,920
..my very own Silurian mask.
625
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,360
- Oh, here we are!
- Here you are.
626
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,800
- Here's your pieces.
- There I am - literally!
627
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,840
- Your face. - That's odd, Neill,
628
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,040
seeing my own face like that.
That's strange.
629
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,760
In preparation,
Neill scanned my head
630
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,320
and had it 3D printed, so his team
631
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,400
could create my own unique mask.
632
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,360
After you've done the scan,
633
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,560
what's the first thing you have
to go and sort of sort out?
634
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,200
- We did your scan... - Yeah.
635
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,520
..and then what we did was
model on this in clay...
636
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,280
- Wow. - ..to get all the scale pattern,
637
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,320
because, obviously, the face part,
638
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,440
while we can get away with
reusing the head and the hands...
639
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,120
- Yeah. - ..your face is unique to you.
640
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:39,200
- Yeah. - So for everything to fit -
because this is only really thin -
641
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,880
we had to work from this scan.
642
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,600
So what we've done...
643
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,000
I'll just grab this.
644
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,880
..we've got a copy of your face
into a resin,
645
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,560
- and then we've modelled... - Yeah.
646
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,040
So, like we did with the...
647
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,520
Exactly as I did before, for
the Susan Twist model, right?
648
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,120
- Yeah. - Yeah, when we made that.
649
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,920
And then what comes out is
the prosthetic appliance...
650
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,720
- ..which is this. - Yeah.
651
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,880
That comes out
in kind of a pale green colour,
652
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,480
and then it's all been painted,
653
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,640
- all the patterns and all of that
has been painted on. - Yeah.
654
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,760
And now that's ready to apply.
655
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,320
Usually, we're doing this
at kind of five in the morning.
656
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,400
I can totally see why some actors
fall asleep while you do this.
657
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,160
Yeah, I didn't mind shaving
my beard off,
658
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,880
but I thought it might be
a step too far
659
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,080
to get rid of the brow.
660
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Right, let's get your face on.
661
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,520
It's quite a strong smell,
the old glue, isn't it?
662
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,640
Yeah.
663
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,920
Just a normal, casual sort of Friday.
664
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,960
Yeah. Not much going on, really.
665
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,800
That is mad!
666
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,200
It's brilliant!
667
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,040
Glove... Now, the hands are
the quick and easy part.
668
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,640
Et voila.
669
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,760
- This is funny, isn't it? - It is.
670
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,800
This is amazing.
Thank you so much, everyone.
671
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,720
This is so cool.
672
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,440
I almost feel, like, a bit
discombobulated, actually.
673
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,720
It doesn't look like me,
but I am looking at me.
674
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,400
But it's not me. That's not me.
But it is me.
675
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,000
Do you know what I mean?
676
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,280
So strange.
677
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,280
Such a weird feeling. It's brilliant.
678
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,760
I can totally see why actors
679
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,920
can get into character
like this, though, right?
680
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:39,400
Carly, thank you very much.
681
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,280
Thanks for being so patient
and painting me all up.
682
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,360
- No problem. - And for painting me
in the first place!
683
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:45,800
This is all your handiwork.
684
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,160
Brilliant.
685
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,160
Right, Christmas party time.
686
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,200
Now, the upcoming season
is still in the edit,
687
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,200
but we didn't want
to leave you hanging.
688
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,800
So here is a sneak peek
at episode one, season two
689
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,280
of Doctor Who.
690
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,640
There's a doctor looking for you.
691
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,080
Tell me about it.
692
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,520
- See you tomorrow.
- No.
693
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,080
Just one little name.
694
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,400
I can't give out home addresses.
695
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,480
It's not allowed.
696
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,840
- Look over there! - What?
697
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,400
Oops.
