05x01 - Call Me the Doctor

[bunniefuu]

Trust me. I'm the Doctor.

Now I've done it.

No no no no no!

# Anybody who thinks I can't
do it any more

# Better step right back
and take that... #

He is isn't it? He's the Doctor!

# Take that... #

Who da man?

I'm never saying that again. Fine!

# Anybody who thinks
I can't do it any more

# Better step right back
and take that

# I've got the formula
I've got the formula

# Take that!

# I'll reign on all of yer
I'll reign on all of yer... #

Talk to me!

All the experts involved panicking
at once. Do you know what they need?

Me.

# Take that that... #

Hello. Am I late?
Everything is going to be fine.

Run.

# Anybody who thinks I can't
do it any more

# Better step
right back and take that

# That that that... #

Hello. I'm the Doctor.

It's September and at
a secret location in South Wales

the new Doctor begins his journey.

Right we're going to...
Hello everyone.

Shh... Everyone rush to their
chairs we're about to start.

How scrutinised out of our television
lives ever this one.

Just so you feel relaxed.

Don't feel relaxed
it's going to be brilliant but my
god let's k*ll them with this one.

We'll go round the table and say
our names just because I never
tire of saying I'm Steven Moffat

and I'm the executive producer
and head writer of Doctor Who.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm Matt I play the Doctor.

I'm Karen I'm playing Amy.

I'm Caitlin I'm playing Amelia.

Amelia's garden.

Panning round a fairly big garden
a bit neglected overgrown creepy.

There's an old battered garden shed
then Amelia's house and like the
garden it's old and a bit run down.

Ordinary but a bit spooky.

"Dear Santa thank you for bringing
the fish dolls and pencils..."

It's Easter now so I
hope I didn't wake you.

But honest it is an emergency.

Amelia is the first human being
that he sees in his new
regenerated form which I think

is quite significant cos to him
it's a strange alien life form.

He meets her and she's in her
garden in her nightie with a torch.

And a hand gripping on the edge of
a base and another hand and then
a face the Doctor.

His hair is soaking wet his
eyes are wild and dancing.
He's looking right at Amelia.

Can I have an apple?

"All I can think about apples...

"I love apples maybe
I'm having a craving.

"That's new.
I've never had cravings before."

The new Doctor is essentially
the same man he has been

for all the previous years
of his life.

There is no such thing
as the th Doctor.

There's one Doctor with faces.

He is the same man.

Argh!

Are you all right mister?
I'm fine. It's OK.

This is all perfectly nor...

Who are you?

I don't know yet. I'm still cooking.

Now when you put on a different
set of clothes or shoes
you feel very different.

But is the continuing story of
the same man with a different face.

I think it's going to look better
apparently if I give it
a good project that way.

Um... I mean I'll... I won't....

What I'll do is probably
do a lean forward as well.

Yeah.

Are we going to get that?

It's like being born again.

It's like everything you see is
a new colour taste new smell.

Apples yoghurts all the rest of
it what is that you know?

And action.

If you're a doctor why
does your box say "police"?

Can I go from the top?
Keep purchase on that bad boy.

Another apple keep running
don't break it up please.

B camera.

And action.

If you're a doctor why
does your box say "police"?

Keep running. Another apple please.

There's a lack of kind of cynicism
that happens when we're adults

and it's like children
see things and accept them
and try them and spit them out.

That's disgusting. What is that?
An apple.

Apples are rubbish I hate apples.
You said you loved them.

No no I'll have yoghurt.
Yoghurt's my favourite.

I hate yoghurt.
It's just stuff with bits in.

You said it was your favourite.
New mouth new rules.

It's like eating after cleaning
your teeth everything tastes
WR-O-O-O-NG!!

It's all kind of written in that
he's trying to get to know his body
and everything but hopefully

kind of physically it's all sporadic
and weird and he's hitting himself
and not really knowing how to react

to this new body but also his
personality is regenerating as well.

What's wrong with you? Wrong with me?

Why can't you give me any decent
food? You're Scottish fry something.

OK cut there.

What made Matt stand out
surprisingly in a way because

he'd never seen the show was that
he was tonally perfect from the off.

He got what sort of part it is.

He got the lightness the fun
the nuttiness of it. Just instantly.

It was just so obvious.
It was such an obvious choice.

I'd found out I'd got the role.
I'd come out of an audition

and I was in Aldgate I think
and it was for a pilot sitcom and

my agent rang me and said "I think
we better have a chat." I said

"OK. Have I not got it?"
He said "No."

I said

"Right well have I got it?"

He said "I think we better meet for
a cup of tea." I said "Michael
have I got it?" He said "Yes."

I seem to remember being very
disbelieving. "No no"

pacing up and down
this cobbled street in Aldgate.

I'd like to go back actually.

And I was just...

I mean you know ecstatic.

I mean I had to tell my Mum and
Dad and my sister so I told them.

They couldn't quite believe it.
My Mum and Dad didn't sleep for
at least a day.

This is the family this is
granddad this is Mum this is Dad.

This is Confidential.

Mother's wearing her semi
Patrick Charleston coat.

Oh Mother right anyway.

It was quite funny because
it was early in the morning

and I was just eating a bowl
of cornflakes.

The phone went and I
saw that it was Matt.

He just said "Dad
just call me the Doctor."

I said "Why?"

"Are you not well?" And then
he said "No call me the Doctor."

I suddenly realised and then we both
then... I started jumping
around I shouted Lynne.

I asked her to come downstairs.
It was surreal really.

Then subsequent to that
we couldn't tell a soul and that was

the most difficult bit for Lynne
and I because we couldn't tell

anybody and there were a couple
of nights

where we just sat up at night and
talked about it because we couldn't
talk about it to anybody else.

It's a kind of mad thing
to happen to you.

The show has such momentum and such
brilliance and grace

and all the good things
that it has that it

does cover a great deal
of interest from the media.

You adapt I guess as best you can.

It was odd. I think it's odd for
your family and stuff because it

becomes part of their life as well.

I was standing at a bar in
a local pub one evening and

a chap came up to me and he said
"You're Doctor Who's granddad?"

I said "Well yes." He says
"My grandson wants your autograph."
I said "My autograph?"

He says "Yes anything to do with
Doctor Who he wants the autograph."

So I had to sign it "To Harry
from Doctor Who's granddad"

and he was dead happy.

Famous. Yeah I'm famous in
the village through Matt now.

I sort of carried it around with
me like a little piece of gold
in my pocket or whatever it was.

I remember walking down the road.

I walked to Camden and listened
to Frank Sinatra and felt
pretty much on top of the world.

That was a good moment yeah.
I walked past a window
and looked in a thing

and had a very significant moment
with Frank Sinatra in my ears going
"Yes I'm the Doctor."

# I've got you

# Under my skin

# I've got you

# Deep in the heart of me

# So deep in my heart that
you're really a part of me

# I've got you

# Under my skin. #

Every day I think
"How lucky we are"

because what he is bringing to
the role is absolute dedication

and wit and charm brilliant acting.

I think Matt's amazing.

You know I think he's

a brilliant brilliant actor.

It's such a million to one chance

really to have him as Doctor Who.
Yeah we're really proud.

# Under my skin... #

He's just a brilliant
brilliant actor.

We're incredibly lucky.

I mean I've never experienced
anything like that where you take
over the reins of something

which is hugely successful.
David did such a wonderful job
as did Chris.

I think they were both
brilliant Doctors.

Yeah there's a degree of
responsibility but I think you
can only be ever true to your own

identity as an actor do you know
what I mean? And try and make
it work for you in your way.

You sort of go "Well thanks
for passing the baton on guys

"here we go you know
let's make it mine."

And this time around
being the new Doctor means getting
your hands on a brand new TARDIS.

OK what have you
got for me this time?

Look at you.

It's still bigger on the inside
but designer Ed Thomas

has a few surprises in store
for the new Doctor.

This is where we've

got to as it stands.

One of the aspects of
a brand new era of Doctor Who
you've got to go for it.

You've got to chance everything
and he's changed everything.

Not just one thing everything.

So much as I love that old set
I really did love it I thought
no it's time for a new set.

It's time to surprise people again.

The fact is we've got more
space now than when the
original TARDIS set was built.

I thought let's make it
even bigger on the inside.

The first thing I saw was the scale.
It's much bigger than
the old TARDIS.

The depth of it! I love the levels.

And then we're toying with the idea
of putting a liquid floor

a black liquid floor or a black
Perspex floor so we get reflections.

What we've never been able
to achieve on this TARDIS is we've
never been able to go underneath.

I love the idea of going underneath.

I'd like to think the TARDIS
goes on forever
in lots of scary strange ways.

So that was the idea.

An even bigger on the inside TARDIS
and let's just go mad with it.

The biggest change of this TARDIS
is we've really pimped it up.

Hello Confidential.
I'm here with Ed Thomas
the man who designs the TARDIS.

We're going to have a look round and
he's going to show me how to fly it
and what bit's what.

So! Enter!

This is the new TARDIS.

This is where I do my
correspondence. Right.
We've got all sorts of sections.

There are diagnostic areas
there are flying areas
each one has a different purpose.

Then we've got the main time rotor
in the middle which is blown glass.

We searched high and low to find
somebody that could blow us the glass
to the scale they did and

these chaps in Bristol
pulled it off for us.

The biggest thing we've changed
is the scale. Yeah I know.

It's almost twice as big.
It's enormous.

It varies off in all directions.

You probably can't see but look
am I right in saying if you
walk up there you end up...

over there?
You do. It's very clever.
It's all done with mirrors.

Yeah. I need TARDIS time. And
there's a Morse code thing look.

Yeah. There's all these kind of foot
pedals as well
which are just incredible.

There's so much detail.

Oh! A new one.

Lovely.

Look I've prepared a manual
for you here.

So you've got the helm navigation
diagnostic communications
fabrication mechanical...

This will tell you
where everything you need is.

What do these do?

What does it say? Quantum
form foam manipulators. Absolutely!

It's a quantum foam manipulator.
How could I not know that?

At some point you'll need to revise
this and learn this. Absolutely!

This is your version of the iPod.
Ha! My tune list.

You put your music
in there and on your go.

All these details are amazing
aren't they?

If you look under it
all the lights and wires.

It feels like it does have life.
Yes. That's what's amazing about it.

That's where we've achieved
something special on this one.

We have an awful lot
of moving parts in here.

As you say it really is full of life
and this is the Gallifreyan text.

The carvings on here
are all the Gallifreyan text

which of course
is the Doctor's language.

Forward in time back in time.

Ah of course.
It's all there for you.

I'm hitting a lot of double...

Yes which is why you're in
the trouble you're in.

THEY LAUGH

Do you want to have
a stroll around some of the
staircases and see underneath maybe?

Absolutely let's do that.

And that is actually lit
by this liquid? Yeah.

Can I touch it? You can.

And it's not just water?

It's water with a bit
of food colouring in it
to make it look like oil.

What's this then?

That's a protective sheath
over the heart of the TARDIS.

Yeah... So underneath there is
what literally drives it.

It kind of feels like the most
brilliant den in the world. Yeah.

I hope you like it.

I hope you have many hundreds
of years time travelling in it.

It is pretty much the most brilliant
thing to come into every day.

It's like a giant playground.

It is. Truly it's thrilling.

I feel very privileged
to have such a TARDIS.

Just like the Doctor
the TARDIS undergoes a regeneration

but before the big screen debut
the old one has one last bumpy ride.

Maybe a bit more coming
out of the base areas.

The TARDIS has just come
hurtling through space.

It's gone careering through
this shed and buried itself

straight into the ground.

So we're dressing all debris around
it give it a bit more impact.

Stuff's been blown out of
the shed and yeah
just to give it a bit more of a...

like it's actually properly
hit the ground and dress it nicely
for that sh*t.

So there's no way at all
this could be
just a little bit more like that?

The only way we can do that Trace
is if we wedge the back end up.

We can do that.
We can put it on a jaunty angle.

Fancy that? Yeah.

Let's do that. Yeah.

So it looks like
it's made an impact.

We'll sort that out for you now.
Thanks love.

When we first looked at it

it looked a bit too level
so I've been out there with Kieron

messing about with the plant pots
and putting a bit of turf up
which I love and it looks brilliant.

We had a bit of a problem with
the smoke directing the smoke.

Yeah it's all looking good.

We're all beavering ahead
and we're on schedule thank god.

Then you'll be here right. Yeah.
In which case I'll come to...

We've got a fantastic little lady
Caitlin who plays the young Amelia

who is a superstar.

She's just a diamond.
You couldn't ask for better.
She's lovely. She takes direction.

She listens and she's just like
she's been doing it for years.

OK and action!

I've got to get back in there.

The engine are phasing
it's going to burn!

But... But...

It's just a box.
How can a box have engines?

It's not a box. It's a time machine.

What?

Caitlin's a little star.

She's lovely.

Lovely kid. I mean
I'm really fond of her yeah.

And brilliant and very...

You know and she's had no
experience of acting whatsoever

which I think is a really
good thing you know.

There's no jazz hands going on
or anything.

If Caitlin moves a
tiny bit to her left.

You learn quick don't you?

Caitlin
and a touch to your left darling.

Are you really clever at school?

No. No.

Well you're really clever in life.

You think so?
Which is better that's cooler.

I think she's wonderful.

She's great right.
Trust me I'm the Doctor.

Geronimo!

SPLASHING

And the great grinding engines
heave into life and
the TARDIS fades from view.

Amelia's staring and then
she's racing back into the house.

She comes tearing into her bedroom
and grabs a tiny suitcase
from under her bed

and starts throwing stuff into
it clothes dolly a toothbrush.

Open the suitcase
you run to me and get...?

Clothes.

Then you put them in
and you grab your...?

Teddy. Toothbrush.

Toothbrush. Then
put that in and you come and get...?

Teddy. Put him in
and you run out and get...?

Red shawl.
Clothes toothbrush Teddy shawl.

Clothes toothbrush Teddy shawl.

Clothes toothbrush Teddy shawl.

I bet you get it wrong.

THEY LAUGH

Stand by.

The slams the case shut and goes
racing out into the garden
clutching her suitcase

wearing a coat and hat
over her night clothes.

She races over to where
the TARDIS lay sets down her case
sits on it and waits.

I met my cousin for the
first time at the read through
of episode one.

I'm related to Karen Gillan.
She's my cousin.

She grew up in Ireland
and I left Inverness quite young.

So we just never met.

We'd always just missed each other
and the first time I met her
was at the read through.

I think it's quite believable
that we're the same
person because obviously

there's family resemblance
and there's just a connection there
because we are of the same blood.

Action!

You're Amelia. You're late.

Amelia you're the little girl.
I'm Amelia and you're late.

Imagine if your imaginary friend
turned up promised you all the time
in space and said he'd be back

in five minutes and you spend
the rest of your life wondering

if that was real
or if that's ever going to turn up.

So you end up with an Amy who's
a little distrustful of people

a little bit more cynical and
certainly when the Doctor turns up
he's going to get a much harder time

because she's the girl who waited
and he's the man
that didn't show up.

What happened? years.
You hit me with a cricket bat.

years. A cricket bat.

years and four psychiatrists.
Four?

Amy has turned into
this very feisty
rather attractive young lady.

Amy is a sassy lady.

She's really got a mind of her own.

She doesn't tend to take the
Doctor's word as gospel. She just
has her own opinions on things and

doesn't listen to everything he says
and she questions him and
challenges him all the time.

That's what's lovely about this
relationship. It's quite tempestuous

because Amy's very strong willed and
is not afraid to give the Doctor a
clap across the face if he needs it.

She's got this inner confidence
in her and she can really
handle herself in situations.

She's incredibly witty. She's fun.

Her and the Doctor have
a great time together.

Oi! You sit still.

Come on! What?
No what are you doing?

Amy? Why did you say six months?
Why did you say five minutes?

Are you not going to turn your back?

Nope.

That is not possible.

That was two years ago. What?

You're a policewoman?

I'm a kiss-o-gram!

You're Amelia. You're late.

Amelia Pond you're the little girl.
I'm Amelia and you're late.

Are you from another planet?

Come with me. Where?

Wherever you like.

Why me? Why not?

THEY LAUGH

On location the crew have
the mighty task of turning

the tiny Welsh village of Llandaff
into the sleepy English village of
Leadworth the home of Amy Pond.

We've done a lot of London
in Doctor Who.

The truth is it became almost
one of the cliches of the series
because we did it so often.

You saw it so much.
You got bored of it.

So we thought what other
iconic English thing can you do?

A beautiful little village -
why not?

And action!

What is this place? Where am I?

Leadworth. Where's the rest of it?
This is it.

Is there an airport? No.

Nuclear power station? No.

Even a little one? No. Near a city?
Gloucester half an hour by car.

We don't have half an hour.
Do we have a car?

No. Oh well that's good.
Fantastic that is.

minutes to save the world
and I've got a Post Office.
And it's shut. What is that?

It's a duck pond.

Why aren't there any ducks? I
don't know. There's never any ducks.

Then how do you know
it's a duck pond?

As you can see it's quite
a big village.
We've had to dress the whole lot.

Everything starting from
the flowers signage
street labels street signs...

Post Office headlines and
details there. You come right
the way through to the book store.

Various books outside
there relevant to Leadworth.

All the postcards on the stands.
All perfect for Leadworth.

Come through to the pub
we checked all the windows
all the leadwork on the windows.

Signage benches
all of that stuff to do with them.

So yeah that's part
of what's gone on so far.

All the residents know

that we're filming here
so there's letter drops.

They're told how long we're
going to be here why we're here.

You know what we're doing.
It's all very well organised and %
of the time it all goes really well.

Are you ready? Catch. Oh!

Oh!

I'd be trying to get it out
I'll try and get the keys.

Or just at least one or not?

Or is it more powerful
do you think just to keep it...

I think it is.
Struggle a bit and know that...

Actually even all that
"You know who I am..."

I can be a bit mad at the top.

"Amy what's wrong with you?"
Then she's like "Who are you?"
"But you know who I am."

Yeah. Look at the sky it's the
end of the world in minutes.

Dum dum dum...
OK stand by to sh**t please.

Camera set...

And action!

minutes I can do it.

The planet burns run to your
loved ones and say goodbye
or stay and help me.

I'm sorry.

No! Amy... No no!

What are you doing?

In that scene as scripted there's
a lot of stuff that happens that
makes it quite tricky to stage

and the car has to arrive
at a certain point and a tie
has to get trapped into the door.

Amy no! No what are you doing?

No.

Still running. Reset!

But really the most significant
story b*at there is the fact that

they stop and have
this moment together.

Catch! I'm the Doctor.

I'm real. What's happening in the
sky is real and if you don't
let me go right now

everything you've ever known
is over.

I don't believe you. minutes.
Just believe me for minutes.
Look at it.

It's a kind of nod back
to the moment they had together
when she was a kid.

Look at it.
Fresh as the day you gave it to me
and you know it's the same one.

I don't think anyone
will really notice but we cranked
the camera up slightly

so we've made it slightly
slow motion when they have
this little moment together.

So it just slightly goes
a bit magical.

Amy...

believe for minutes.

I think the moment with the apple
is the moment where

she actually has to make the choice
whether she goes with it or not.

I mean she's spent all those years
hardening her heart against the idea
of an imaginary friend.

And I can imagine...
I bet she gives Rory hell. We know
she does because she's sceptical.

She doesn't... She's learned
to be tough on things like that.

I bet she was mean about Santa Claus.

I bet she was mean
about the Tooth Fairy.

What you don't expect
when you're that kind of cynic

when you've grown up with that
carapace formed round you you don't
expect your imaginary friend

to turn up and be exactly what
he claimed to be all those years ago.

Even with that can you remember
you've had years of growing up
to be a slightly different person

than you were going to be
because this person let you down
and they're standing there

asking you outrageously asking you
to trust them even though everything
they're saying is completely bonkers.

That's the moment where
she has to decide
that she's not grown up in a way.

That she can still be a child.

She's still allowed to believe
in her childhood hero.

What do we do? Stop that nurse.

The sun's going down and you're
photographing a man and a dog.

Why? Amy... Hi.

Oh this is Rory he's a friend.
Boyfriend. Kind of well...

I think the relationship between
Amy and Rory is quite complicated.

He's completely in love with her.

And she is very er...

She likes running off and

going on adventures
and he's determined to...

I think he's a romantic at heart
and he's determined to get her
but has no idea how to do it

and gets very nervous
when she's around.

I think she really does love him but
I think there are a lot of things

that she needs to do in her life
before she can admit
how much she loves him.

Rory is the guy who's grown up
not being the doctor

from a very very young age.

She's waited for this man
he's never turned up.

He's the man who's
tried to train to be a doctor
but ended up being a nurse.

He's the one
who's not quite making it.

He looks a tiny little bit
like him but isn't the same.

So he's grown up in the shadow
of Amy's imaginary friend and

much to his horror Amy's imaginary
friend turns out to be real.

Oh my god. It's him.
Just answer his question please.

It's him though. The doctor the
raggedy doctor? Yeah he came back.

He was a story he was a game!

Amy's always talked about this
raggedy doctor that she's met and
obviously she's had a few problems

dealing with who he is
and she's obviously
talked about him a lot to Rory and

he's become this fantasy figure
that she thinks is amazing and Rory
used to have to dress up as him

because they've known each other
for years and years.

He's been in love with her
for years and years.

Rory's always wanted to be
that doctor to her

because he's this mythical character
and then when the Doctor
arrives he realises that

this guy is real. Man and dog why?

Tell me now. Sorry because...

he can't be there
because he's in hospital.

BOTH: In a hospital in a coma.

Yeah.

It's really funny because
we know each other
as mates more than colleagues

so it's just like
going to work with your mate.

Multi-form you see.

Disguises himself as anything.

INAUDIBLE

The quaint old village green
is also home to a very new way

of seeing the world through
the eyes of the Doctor.

It's a brilliant little sequence.

We go into the Doctor's head
and his eye and

we see all the things
that he's taking in

and the camera sort of jolts
round on this journey.

It takes all
these photographs of people.

In the Doctor's brain he's going

"I've seen this I've seen this."

The Doctor notices everything.

He notices that when everyone
else is using their camera phones

to take pictures of the sun he
notices one man on the village green

who has his back to it

because he's taking a picture
of something completely different
on his camera phone.

That's Rory.

That's what the Doctor's
trying to remember.

So even while the crisis
is landing all around him

and while his head is still cooking
he can notice one person not doing
what he'd expect them to do.

No hang on shut up wait!
I missed it.

I saw it and I missed it.
What did I see? I saw...

What did I see? So there's a camera
moving into his eye. I saw.

Then we go into this sequence

where he's remembering
what's just happened.

OK all yours.

We take the stills very close to each
other in physical space if you like.

For instance if I'm taking...

If I'm moving from here to you I'd
take stills moving towards you.

We then take those still images we
take them into an editing programme.

We string them all back to back
and then when we play them out
it becomes live action basically.

It looks like live action.
Kind of like a time slice
which is that matrix effect

when you know you move around
in a moment in time.

The effect you can liken it to most
is those flip books
that you have as kids.

You flip through them and there's
lots and lots of drawings of a stick
man and he looks like he's juggling

or jumping up and down
or skipping or whatever.

Your arm's cramping up yeah?
It's just my arse actually.

It's just like the most elaborate
game of musical statues.

I think it looks amazing.
The whole time I was standing there
I was thinking

"This is going to look brilliant."

My legs went numb. My bum went numb.

I couldn't really feel anything.
But it was worth it in the end.

You get the camera to go
under a bench and spin round.

You take a single frame
and then you take a step.

You take another single frame
you take a step.

There is a lovely moment that they
did where you see the dog man and
they had done a contra zoom on that.

Which is really effective.

What's really lovely
about that technique is that
it isn't quite perfect

because it is a human trying to get
themselves in the same position
again and again and again.

So you end up with this slight...

You end up with more of a kind of...

For want of a better word
more of an organic feel
and that is what I wanted.

Because I wanted it to be
in his head.

One thing's for sure.

When you are the new Doctor
it is only a matter of time

before the special-effects team
get their hands on you.

I have got cold hands. Aaaaaaah!

This is cruel.

Oh Danny you spoil me mate.

I have got a warm heart though.

Oh yeah! I don't believe you!

It is so cold.
Confidential I am cold today.

Look because it is holes
in the raggedy doc's costume.

Gloves.

They have a little hot pouch inside.

Sorry mate I needed to leave
that off for a minute. Absolutely.
So what we are about to do is

the sonic screwdriver
is about to explode in my hand
as I have a bit of a face-off

with Prisoner Zero.

And it's like a little firework
essentially isn't it?

Basically yeah.
The sonic screwdriver

inside that will
be an expl*sive device.

So I will talk it through with you
but when you are holding it

just make sure you keep your fingers
down like that.

Not go right up?
No. I'll bring it over.

Will it blow my thumb off?
It'll be fine.

He says that.
What you want to do say yes or no?

That is the producer.

Right get warm.
All right mate. Cheers.

Matt's hand is about to explode.

This is going to be interesting.
I'm scared because I always get
scared when we do special effects.

So I just get to do
lots of reacting.

Like that just like that. That is
very good. Yeah I thought so.

The only thing is I am quite
jumpy so if it is a surprise
you will get a real jump out of me.

It's a cold day today
but we are bearing up.

We are troopers.

We are imagining
we're in the Caribbean.

Yes. We're about to go to a party
actually. With some pina coladas.

It's going to be kicking.
Effects go off please!

OK here we go.

And background action! And action.

And nothing says non-terrestrial
like a sonic screwdriver.

# Sonic boom boy

# Sonic boom boom boom! #

Fire-engine the ladder!

Going up and down up and down.

The fire engine crew
is off down the road.

THEY BARK

I think someone's going to notice
don't you?

The telephone box explodes.

No no no!

And cut there. Cut there.

He is making a lot of mistakes
and he's getting things wrong.

He is finding out that
actually he is fallible and

actually that people depend on him
a lot and he can't be
and he has got to improve.

And it is really only until about
three-quarters of the way through

when he finally clicks into place

stop regenerating
and he is the Doctor.

What's in here?
I'm saving the world.

I need a decent shirt.
To hell with the raggedy.

Time to put on a show.

I think that Matt's look as the
Doctor is bang on I really do.

I think it is perfect.

It is this kind of old rustic-y
professor-type look.

But a mad professor
with a bow tie and everything.

It is pretty eccentric
and it suits the way he plays
the Doctor as well.

And I think he just looks
really at home in the costume

and it really suits the way
he looks and moves and everything.

So my costume.

Bow-tie. I have got
a TARDIS blue one as well.

Braces that are coming off.

I will just reapply them.

And then we have got this lovely
tweed jacket. A watch.

It doesn't actually work
but I think the idea

is that the Doctor can just go
to Venice or Paris or wherever
and just tap it once or twice.

Boots.

I'll pan up.

Um and my jeans.

Rolled up at the bottom.
I think it manages a bit of...

Oh God do I say this?
A bit of Indiana Jones a bit of
a professor a bit of explorer...

I think it has to feel like
an extension of your personality.

And this does for me.

So this was a good idea?
You were leaving? Leaving is good.

Staying away is better.

'There are a couple of moments
in there where we see him

'f*ring on all cylinders
as the Doctor.'

There is the moment
when he is on the rooftop and he
has just picked his costume.

Well?

Come on then!

The Doctor will see you now.

I think the moment when he clicks
into place is finally putting
his clothes on

getting the bow-tie on
and being in his outfit.

What do you think?

That's when he's arrived.
That's when he's back on form.

That's when he's properly there.

Hello.

I'm the Doctor.

Geronimo!
