05x13 - Out Of Time

[bunniefuu]

- It's the series finale...
- Action.

And the Doctor seems to
have a lot of time on his hands.

And I'm gone.

The Doctor wouldn't
normally cheat quite as
outrageously with the timeline.

And I'm back.

He's not sticking to the rule book.

And I'm gone.

- You just go what, what time is it?
- And I'm gone.

- Where am I? - And I'm back.

- And cut. - He also appears to
have acquired some new headgear.

Just like that.

It's quite Tommy Coopery,
you know, it's quite comic.

I don't think any other Doctor
would have turned up with a fez.
That's the Matt Smith Doctor.

- We're in NYC.
- NYC, baby, New York City.

And we follow Matt and Karen as
they travel across the pond

to take a bite out of the Big Apple.

ALL: Doctor Who in America!

, take one, A camera.

Don't forget to knock
the penguins over. Action.

Sorry.

In the opening sequence of ,

we've got little Amelia
stuck in the museum at night.

There's all these sort of spooky
creatures there, and I just wanted
it to feel massive and eerie for her.

What I like,
watch what I'm doing here.

As I'm looking round, I'm looking
at the polar bear like that.

- So you can see my face. And then
when I look round that side, you
can see me there. - OK, turning over.

The trick was trying
to get Caitlin to really live it,

to feel like she's doing it
for the first time,

cos obviously we have to
do it again and again.

Action.

OK, darling, crane
right over your shoulder.

One of the things I do is to
try and get as close to the camera
as possible,

so that I can just talk her
through the performance

and say things to her as she's
walking along, so that these things

come to her in kind of
unexpected ways.

Right round at the polar bear.

Right round.

Now look right round at the
other skeleton with the big teeth.

And that kind of surprise,
those kind of reactions are

the perfect, they're the real
reactions that you get from her.

Now look at the
sabre-toothed tiger on that side.

Look at those dinosaurs.

Now look at the Daleks.

They're very scary. And cut there.

I just wanted to fill that room with
as many kind of spooky looking faces

that, during daylight hours, would
look sort of normal kind of exhibits,

but at night it would just
be spookier for her.

The museum set was a cool set.

And it was funny
because they had like,

polar bears and penguins and things

coming from hot climates because
obviously things had got confused.

One of the consequences
of the elimination of all reality

is that a lot of the history of
earth at that point, of course,

will make absolutely no sense.

There'll presumably be observatories
but no stars to look at.

There's a few things that
are fun in that exhibition,

including the Nile penguins.

That's the penguins of the Nile,
one of the many historical

anomalies caused
by the deletion of all reality.

As well as that, we had
sort of dinosaurs on ice,

and sort of Pharaohs
in the Himalayas.

And altogether, it just creates
a sort of bizarre exhibition.

And right at the centrepiece
is the Pandorica itself.

- All yours, Toby. - Action.

The Pandorica was my favourite prop
I've ever had built for me.

It was just fantastic to sh**t with.

It's quite simple in its
construction but the size of it

makes it feel impressive.

And that's mainly the
thing that I wanted.

Whenever those doors open
and you see what's inside,

- you have to feel
a sense of awe about it. - Doors.

OK, kid,
this is where it gets complicated.

When Amy falls out of the Pandorica
box in front of Amelia,

this is the first time that
we've got both versions
of Amy in front of us

in the same time, in the same frame.
And it was also the first time

e that they'd both worked
together on the set.

Look, it's little Amelia.

- Karen? - Yeah?

Working with my cousin was kind of
weird at the beginning,

I have to say.

Because, obviously, she's been
around before in episode one but
we've never had any scenes together.

And then we were doing the scene
where she opens the Pandorica

and then we were kind of
doing the scene together.

Let's see, it's what...

?

I was like, OK,
don't laugh, this is weird.

But no, we kind of got used to it
straight away, really.

Who are you?

It's a long story.

Oh,

a very long story.

She's going to be in
that box for years?

Yeah, but we're taking the shortcut.

Rory guards the Pandorica
with Amy inside it for years.

This box needs a guard.
I k*lled the last one.

No. Rory, no,
don't even think about it.

And I think that's just
kind of the ultimate

romantic gesture, I suppose.

I think a lot of life
is working out how to apologise
sufficiently to the one you love.

If you'd just sh*t her dead,

I think probably standing guard on a
box for years is about right.

There are some things that
mowing the lawn doesn't cover.

It kind of just shows how much he
actually loves Amy

and then when she finds that out,
I think she realises

how much she loves him,

and it's kind of the
perfect end to a love story.

Rory...

Oh, Rory.

In a nearby trailer, the costume
team are fitting Rory

with a device that will
come in very handy.

Welcome to the
fitting of my fake arm.

Just trying to make it look like
I don't have two arms, really.

I went to the special effects place
in London and had my hand moulded.

And they painted it up
to make it look
like my hand, and put a g*n in it.

I had to put my arm behind my back
and then they put the arm kind of

there, so it was kind of
coming out here.

See if you can get it through.

And then there's all these kind of
contraptions behind me...

..to control it.

- Is that a pocket
or a sleeve? - It's a sleeve.

OK. So someone's standing
behind me while I'm sh**ting.

- Let's have a look at it.
- You see it working?

Watch out.

I'll get you.
I'm going to start believing

that's actually my hand soon.

Go go gadget...g*n!

Can we put other things in it?

An egg whisk!

That'd be brilliant.
Can I also have an umbrella
that comes out of my head?

DALEK: Scans indicate
intruder unarmed.

Do you think?

Vision impaired! Withdraw!

Episode 's kind of huge,

in both its ambition for the
sh**ting of the live action...

- ..and for the creation of the CGI.
- That's my TARDIS burning up.

And that goes on
for weeks and weeks.

And while we were finishing
the post-production on that episode,

of course, we had to go and
promote the launch of the series.

And one of the places we had to go
and publicise it was in New York.

America is a seriously
competitive TV market.

The team will need to promote
the show heavily

if the new Doctor is to make
a touch down in the US of A.

- Where are we, Kaz? - We're in NYC.

NYC, baby, New York City.

Just, you know, casually
walking down an NYC street.

And we're about to go into
the New York Times

and talk to them about Doctor Who,

cos it's the best show in England,

we want to make it the best show
in America. And look who it is!

- It's Steven Moffat.
- Oh no! There he is.

Hi, Steven.

- Hurrah! - Wooo!

Whilst in New York,
the team have just a few days to
make as much impact as possible.

Later that day, executive
producers Piers and Beth have

to make a dash across Manhattan
to join Matt and Karen at a
press screening of the show.

So basically, we've got to go
to the Paley Centre where we're
showing America episode one

of Doctor Who for the first time.

And we're late and we've got
to get a cab, so let's go.

OK, Beth. Hi there,
we're going to the Paley Centre.

Do you know the Paley Centre?

Back in Cardiff at this moment,

we're putting the finishing touches
to episode ,

so it's kind of amazing being
in the back of a taxi now

on the way to a screening for
episode one in America

and having had such a positive
reaction back in England.

Right, well, we're here, so
let's get on with the show.

For the American press,
this is their first glimpse

of the new Doctor Who team so it's
important to make a good impression.

So, what's this season about?

Well, it's about a man
in a blue box who travels
in space and time

and solve problems
wherever he finds them.

Hey, you've wasted a whole question.

Where am I going? Oh, here. Hello.

Hi. Where are we starting?
Hi, Confidential. What up?

- Hi. - Hi. - Alex.

Hi, Alex, how are you doing?

We're going to see
him fight the Daleks,
the Weeping Angels, the Silurians.

Episodes and are truly
inspirational pieces of TV.

Stephen, I think they're the
best thing he's ever written.

The way he plays with time is quite
extraordinary. I hope you enjoy it.

- I hope YOU enjoy it.
- Thank you so much.

Pleasure to meet you.

BBC America wants to spread
the word about the new series

as widely as possible,
so starting the next day,

the Doctor Who team undertake a
non-stop schedule of interviews.

Hi, Confidential.

So we're going into a radio show.

- Kaz, come here. - No. - Come here, man.

- Karen's wearing the same clothes
as yesterday! - No, no, I hate you!

Look! She's wearing
the same clothes as yesterday!

I thought I was going
to get away with it.

I did some laundry today, man.

- What's wrong with you?
- YOU did some laundry?

I saw somebody bringing it to you.

- Well, yes... - See that?

Can we just...? Moving on.

When Doctor Who was announced as
coming back, it was headline news.

There was instant speculation who
was going to be the new Doctor,

who was going to be the new
companion. Every single thing
they did became news.

And, as Matt says, this show is
sort of part of the DNA of Britain.

Kids who've never seen
it know all about it.

Karen said the other day you're
born knowing about it, you do.

So it was huge,
it was a massive thing.

Times Square, man.

It's like a much better version of
Leicester Square, right?

New York City.

Now here in North
America, we love Doctor Who

but it is quintessentially British.

What would you say is the
international appeal of Doctor Who?

Sherlock Holmes is quintessentially
British, it hasn't done him
any harm, so is James Bond.

So is Tarzan. I don't think
that's a problem at all.

Any attempt to Americanise
Doctor Who would be abominated,

chiefly by the Americans.
Let's be honest, they'd hate that.

- Have you met this man? - Oh no!

This is the guy who
takes care of us in NYC.

He looks a bit like my brother.

Do you think we would pass?

Yeah, we've just been doing these
interviews that go across the whole

of America for like three or
four hours. And now we've got this.

Definitely. Champions right here.

Oh, we're champions!

Drive time radio, morning breakfast
shows, you've talked to every
inch of the country now.

I think we have.

Fox, here we go.

Cheers.

I suppose it seems odd that we're
here promoting, what is in effect,
the st series of Doctor Who.

Why start now? But the thing is,
Dr Who always starts again.

You know,
The Eleventh Hour, our first episode,

is absolutely a jumping on point,
and intentionally so,

for a new audience.

So the American
audience can start right here.

They can start with this episode,
and it'll make perfect sense to them.

So here's hoping.

I think there's a real
sh*t that we could do something here.

In downtown New York,
the campaign shifts up a gear.

They've met press and radio, now
it's time to come face-to-face
with the American public.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Matt Smith, Karen Gillan,

Steven Moffat and this
evening's guest moderator -

Matt Rouch from TV Guide.

Hello.

Thank you for the warm welcome.
You know what, I have to say
we've all been overwhelmed,

and I'm not just saying this,
I know it sounds like a political...

but we've been overwhelmed by the
welcome that we've had in New York.

You guys are great,
you clap all the time.

I know! We need to get some
of this in England, I tell you!

And it's just really thrilling
to know that there's an audience
out here because we think it's

a magical show, obviously
and I'm just really flabbergasted

that there are so many
people that dig it out here.

I definitely felt the same way as
when David Tennant first started.

I was very upset that Christopher
Ecclestone had left,

but almost immediately, at the start
of the episode, I was like, "Oh,
I love him. He's wonderful.

"I never want him to leave."
Obviously, when David Tennant
was gone, it was heartbreak.

But I love Matt Smith already.

The unique selling feature
of this show is,

every single episode is
so completely different.

Most television shows, and
really, really good ones,

are basically set in the same
precinct, with the same characters
saying roughly the same things.

Our precinct is all
of space and time.

And not just the places we
go, but the genres we're in.

We're doing comedy,
thrillers, horror movies,

we're doing the silliest stories
you ever saw.

And frequently doing them
all in the same episode.

So, b*at that, Vets In Love!

It was surprising to know that
they were coming to New York,

but very gratifying.

To me it's just as much a sign that
Doctor Who is a success here as it is
overseas. Which is more hope for us,

so we can hopefully
actually see the episodes

when they transmit in England,
instead of having to wait two weeks.

Now he's on the sides of
buses in New York. It's wild.

Yeah, you can't escape him.

And he's made tweed fashionable,
which makes me very happy.

And bow ties are very hip,
I see it in Chelsea.

I... I'm not going to go there.

Thank you, Karen. Thank you, Matt.
Thank you, Stephen

and we look forward to many years
of great adventures ahead.

Guys, keep it going for Matt Smith,
Karen Gillan and Stephen Moffat.

Back in Swansea's Brangwyn Hall,

the Doctor Who team are
rearranging the exhibits

to prepare for
a rather flashy entrance.

- We're filming the finale.
- Yeah. Twelve and thirteen.

Oh, it's Arthur.

- He's a security man.
- It's all about jumping time

and the Doctor is sort of
jumping in and out...

He kind of disappears...

That's a really
expensive lens I nearly jumped
into, so I'll do that again.

He disappears,
and then he reappears.

Listen, she's not dead.
Well, she is dead, but it's
not the end of the world.

Well, it is the end of the world.

Actually, it's the end of the
universe. Ooh, no, hang on.

I think one of the things that's
peculiar to Doctor Who

is that the hero is a time traveller.

Doctor? Doctor?

Who can actually experience the
universe in entirely the wrong order.

He's used to the idea of a completely
different version of causality to the
one that we're used to.

- You need to get me out of the
Pandorica. - But you're not in the
Pandorica.

Well, I'm not now,
but I was back then.

Well, back now from your
point of view, which is back
then from my point of view -

you can't keep
it straight in your head.

Especially in the circumstance where
all of reality is collapsing and,
in a way, the gloves are off.

The rules are out, he's
going to cheat to stop this.

It's easy to open from the outside,
just point and press. Now go.

He's not sticking to the rule book.

When you're done,

leave my screwdriver
in her top pocket, good luck.

What do you mean?

He's got a very small amount of time

to stop all of reality
never happening in the first place.

All the jumps in time that happen
took us so long to get our heads
round, in the most brilliant way.

Three, two, one...action!

Because it makes so much
sense when you've worked it out.

years. How did you do?

Kept out of trouble.

It's just brilliant, hopping
back with the mop and the fez.

You see the same scenes
again, or glimpses of them.

And we realise what the
Doctor was doing each time.

- The mop! - That's how you
looked all those years ago,
when you gave me the sonic.

He was shoving the mop through
the handles of the doors as a bolt.

And then he's realising he doesn't
have a screwdriver.

Let's go then. Wait!

Now I don't have the sonic, I just
gave it to Rory years ago.

And it's so important to make sure,
when the Doctor turns up

from his own future,
that we'd recognise him again later.

So I gave him the fez and the mop

to draw attention to it. To say,
"Hang on, why has he got a fez on?

Why does he have a mop? " So, as
you see him acquire those things...

- What are we doing? - Well, we're
running into a dead end,

where I'm going to have a
brilliant plan, that basically
involves not being in one.

You start to get a head of
the game story telling-wise.

You think, "Hang on, he's

"put a fez on now.

Any minute now he's going to go back
in time and do that thing."

So you see him pick up the mop, and
you think, "Ah, yes, now's the time.

"He's going to go back in time
any second now, I bet you."

That's how you looked
all those years ago when
you gave me the sonic.

So, you're kind of, I
think, I hope, I trust, selling

a very, very complicated idea
as not complicated,

by allowing the audience
to get there first.

By them saying,
"Got it, I know what's coming."

Because if you ever think that, you
don't think it's that complicated,
you hold tight.

And then we get this
straightforward farcical comedy.

Right, let's go then.

He's jumping everywhere.

He's just doing Doctor stuff.

How do you know

to come here?

Just nonsensical time travel farce.

But, I absolutely love all that.

Ahh, my handwriting! OK.

My favourite moment is when he...

Little Caitlin having
been asked him for a drink...

Action!

He pops back in time and
steals her drink earlier
to give it to her later.

He gets the drink from Amelia,
because she says she's thirsty.

I'm thirsty, can you get a drink?

Oh, it's all mouths today, isn't it?

So he nicked it from her from before,
when she had a drink.

The reason why she's thirsty

is because she doesn't
have the drink,

because he's nicked the drink.
It's a little bit playing with time.

There you go, drink up.

What's that? How are you doing that?

Vortex manipulator, cheap
and nasty time travel.

Very bad for you.
I'm trying to give it up.

- Where are we going? - The roof.

And then, him coming back and falling
down the stairs after being sh*t by
the Dalek.

You know, big staircase,
big fall down it.

I'm the Doctor of the future,
minutes ahead of time.

I fall down the stairs,
I've been zapped by something.

It was incredible. He was standing
at the top of the stairs,
and then he just threw himself down.

- He did this backwards roll thing.
- It looked painful.

- It did look painful. - OK, Henry,
if you can start smoking up, please?

It had to be this moment.

He had to look like he was dying.

It was a big moment,
and it had to be just right.

Smoke in.

Walk away, walk away, walk away.

A stair fall can look really phoney,

but I think Gordon really
managed to throw himself into it.

It must have hurt,
but he didn't show it.

It really does look horrific, so I'm
very pleased with what he did for us.

Action!

We needed three times on that.

Which probably hurt
quite a bit, I imagine.

But I got my different
angles and everything,

I got what I wanted out of it.

I think he wasn't
too badly injured at the end of it.

Action!

♪ Over and over and over
and over and over

♪ Like monkey with a miniature cymbal

♪ The joy of repetition
really is in you

♪ Under and under and under
and under... ♪

♪ A smell of repetition
really is on you... ♪

Action!

Thank you. Cut there. Well done.

We were all like... inside.

They're quite sharp steps.

- It's pretty tough to watch.
He's good though Gordon, isn't he?
- Yes. And then he just gets up.

I did offer to do it.

No, he didn't!

Is this your new TV personality?

I know. "No he didn't!"

Later, the crew move onto
the roof of Brangwyn Hall.

Their task, to sh**t the
farewell scene of the latest
addition to the Doctor Who team.

Yes, it's goodbye to the fez.

, take one, a, camera mark.

- It's morning already? How did
that happen? - History's shrinking.

Is anybody listening to me?

Stephen mentioned the fez to Piers
and I before he even wrote it.

- What are you doing?
- Looking for the Tardis.

He said,

I'm thinking of putting
Matt in a fez in episode

and of course both Piers and my jaws
just hit the floor and went, a fez?

You're kidding me!
You're going to put Matt in a fez?

We're on set.
I'm wearing a fez.

- This is Laura, our lovely runner.
- Absolutely ridiculous. Look, look!

So, that's... Continuity are going
to be really, probably...

- Oh, you've ruined it. - Yeah.

If we put Matt in a fez,
Matt will never take the fez off.

He will want to wear the fez
for the whole of the next series.

It will be glued to his head.

Look. And look what it
does to my ears, look.

- Ha! They stick out. - It's bad.
I looked like a pixie, don't I?

He'll be wearing it,
you know, with his own
clothes, it'll be a nightmare!

And he said, no, no because
I've got a cunning plan.

As soon as he's got the fez
I'm going to k*ll the fez.

Oh!

Let's have a look, Mo.

This is all my vanity and my fez.

I'm trying to work out if
the quiff should stay in.

Oh, that's a nice one, isn't it?

- That's a lovely picture of you.
- Wow! - Eyes shut.

He actually is one of the few
people that can pull off a fez.

- Out. - Yeah? Is that working?

Let me take a picture of it in.

Yeah, and then I can see.
And then see.

Although, really
he's got slightly too healthy
a head of hair for it to sit.

Whoa!

- Just keep it out, do you think?
- Yeah. - Out.

Yeah, I think out works that way.

I think out.

- To you, a fez. - It's the fez.

- B camera. - You love having the fez.

- OK, here we go, then.
- You're growing attached.

- Action. - What in the name of
sanity have you got on your head?

It fez. I wear a fez now.

Fezzes are cool.

Oh!

Tommy Cooper there!

And, actually, one of my favourite
moments of the episode is when
the Doctor says...

I can buy a fez.

He's lost Amy, he's lost River and
he's disappearing

into the cr*ck in time,

but he does have time to think
about how he's going to buy a fez.

That makes me laugh.

Back in New York it's the final
day of the campaign to bring
the new Doctor to America.

So, we're going to get in a
cab for Jim, I think.

And we're about to go to a screening
where people have been camping out.

Can you believe that?
That's exciting, isn't it?

Down in the East Village
they're getting ready to see
the new Doctor in action.

ALL: Doctor Who in America!

We announced it
a couple of weeks ago

and it's amazing how many
people have been calling,

and asking about it.

People are calling up and saying,
"I want to come down from three
states away

"what time do I have to line up?"

Can I line up the night before?

We got here at o'clock this
morning and there were people
already waiting outside.

The line stretched
from Second Avenue all the
way down to Third Avenue.

It was pretty impressive.

I have not seen an event like this
before, so, it's exciting stuff.

We've been surprised.
I mean, I knew obviously

that there was a fan base here,
but there was literally...

I think there was about , people
outside the cinema and some of them

have been there for, like, hours
just to get a chance to go and see

the first episode tonight, so I was
really surprised, but it's fantastic
that it's so well received here.

For me and just want to see if Matt
Smith can live up to David Tennant.

I am excited about seeing
Matt Smith and Karen Gillan.

Oh, New York!

Ah, Jay-Z was right, wasn't he?

- Yeah. - This is what dreams are made.

Yeah, it's a concrete jungle where
dreams are made of.

I would love to live here for a bit,
but we're coming back to Cardiff

- to film the next episode, or the next
series of Doctor Who, whoo! - Whoo!
- And that's just the coolest.

We found out what the Christmas
special's about today,
which is really exciting.

Yeah, but New York is amazing.
And it's just exciting to bring this
show here because it's brilliant

and we've got a brilliant first
episode and we want people to get
into it like they should.

- And, look, man. Look at the grates
and stuff, the fire... - I just...

I just look back to that day on the
beach, are very first day filming

and look where we are now and all of
this stuff has happened in between.

- And it's just...
- It seems impossible, really.

Yeah, I felt like it would never
actually sort of, like, come to
this, if you know what I mean.

♪ Has it come to this? ♪

Oh, oh, oh, original pirate material.

You're listening to The Streets.
You know The Streets?

CROWD CHEER AND APPLAUD

Karen, right here.

Ladies and gentlemen, I need
you back on line, please.

That's my first head. Yeah, yeah.

- We've got to go, we've got
to get inside. - I got it!

Demand has been so great
that dozens of people have turned up

with just standby tickets
and their fingers crossed.

Yes! No!

The three
people in front of us were the last
one to get official tickets.

We are the first ones with standby
tickets, so we're going to have
our dreams crushed.

- And we're all the way from
Connecticut. - Yeah, we came
all the way from Connecticut.

- It's more depressing than
David Tennant's regeneration!
- Almost!

I'll cry harder if I don't get
in here than I did when David
Tennant left.

Everyone think of the End
Of Time and then we'll cry.

Hi, Carla, how do you do?
Pleasure to meet you. Wow!

My mum's going to be so thrilled that
I'm on GMTV. Literally, that's the...

- That's it, you've made it!
- That's a dream, really, for my mum.

He's brilliant, actually.

A real character and so much energy
about him and you can just see how

enthusiastic he is about playing
this role and what a dream role this
is for him to have landed,

so I think he's definitely
one to watch out for.

The screening about to start,
the cinema fills up.

But not quite.

Yes!

- Yes! - We got in!
- Yes! - Thank you! - Oh Lord!

I wanted to kiss that man!

He scared the hell out of me.

He scared the living hell out of
me because he was, like, "Urgh..."

and then he was like, "You're in!"
And we're, like, "Huh!"

Are you guys ready for some
Doctor Who?

CHEERING

When I say Doctor you say Who!

- Doctor! - CROWD: Who!
- Doctor! - CROWD: Who!

I always imagined that really
important people like Matt and Karen

and the hangers on like me
got whisked away to exciting places

out of the sight of... You know,
I imagined it's
caviar and serving girls.

And there was this
tiny stretch of corridor

with four deck chairs and no
air conditioning or window.

But then again, we went to the most
exciting screening. To hear it with

an excited, expressive
bunch of Americans whooping

and cheering their way through it,

you know, that was good.
I could do that again!

Thank you, Karen.

The Doctor Who crew
are out on location.

And, action!

It's a big day for everyone
involved, and for Amy Pond
perhaps her biggest yet.

Today we are filming
Amy's wedding scene

and we're in a place called the
Miskin Manor just north of Cardiff.

Do you know, when I first put on
the wedding dress I found
it very bizarre because, you know,

it's kind of quite a major thing
in a woman's life and so that was
quite weird putting it on

and then I walked in here
and there's loads of SAs

and there's this whole wedding
scene and it looks really cool.
Yeah, it's interesting.

It's really weird because, you know,

it's meant to be
mine and Amy's wedding.

I don't really know anyone there!
So it's like kind of gate crashing

someone else's wedding and
sitting on the top table,
so that's a bit strange!

But, yeah,
it's a lot of fun in there.

No real alcohol is
being drunk though because we're
very professional.

So on action,
big, big, big laughter.

Best best man's speech
you've heard all day.

OK.

- Wedding time. - Argh! - Yeah!

- OK. Here we go then. - , take a,

camera mark.

Pour... You can pour some of
the fizzy water, don't be shy.

Here we go, then. And, action!

Ladies and gentlemen...
Ladies and gentlemen,

the father of the bride,
Augustus Pond!

There may be loads of
people at the wedding,

but it's still short
of one guest.

Sorry, everyone.

The one thing that, you know,
doesn't exist when the universe

comes back is the Doctor because he
was at the heart of the expl*si*n.

The Doctor saves himself by being
a devious old man that he always is.

He plants a memory in Amy's mind.

You'll dream about that box.

It'll never leave you.

Big and little at the same time.

Brand new and ancient and the
bluest blue ever.

And he knows in his devious clever
way that one sentence she's going
to here on that important day is...

Something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue

and of course that is the Tardis.

It's old, it's borrowed,

it's new and it's blue.

He needs that memory to
come back spontaneously

and with a little unasked for
help from River Song he gets it.

- What's it? - It's a book. - It's blank.

It's a present.

But why?

Well, you know the old saying,

the old

wedding thing, huh?

Amy.

It's the story of
how Amy is changed by the Doctor.

Ready now!

She's the little girl who believes
that men can fall from the sky, eat
fish custard and fix everything.

And she's the girl that grows
up to believe you should never
believe in that kind of thing

because they're liars and don't
turn up when they say they will.

And the rest of the story is
the Doctor trying to make her
the girl he first met again.

The girl who's capable of
believing in a mad man from the sky

who likes fish fingers and
custard, and he does.

By the end she's capable of standing
up at that wedding and actually
believing all of that was real,

raggedy man, I remember you.
That's what it's all about.

I remember! I brought the others
back, I can bring you home, too.

Raggedy man, I remember you
and you are late for my wedding!

As she's calling the
Tardis all this wind starts.

I wanted to start that moment
in a very small way

and so that you just...

You just notice these slight
things changing

and that's the moment
that you realise

something strange is happening.

And then the chandelier starts to
move and the balloons start to go,

the guests are getting blown about,
their hats are flying off.

It just builds up and builds up
and then the Tardis appears.

Amy, what is it?

Something old, something new,

something borrowed...

something blue.

He puts her back in a way
to the heart and the spirit and
the soul of the girl he first met.

OK, Doctor.
Did I surprise you this time?

Ah, yeah. Completely astonished.

But he's so damaged
by just being that little tad late.

Right then, everyone. I'll move my
box, you're going to need the space.

I only came for the dancing.

OK, and playback!

I know quite often people get
married in registry offices

in television and I often think
it's probably a budget decision,

but, come on, I haven't met that
many women who'd settle for that!

Frankly, they want a big wedding,

they want it proper and right
and good and who wouldn't want all

their friends
having a good dance around them

on this great big important day?

I like weddings, so I wanted
Amy to have a great wedding.

One of the most fun scenes we've
had filming is the dancing sequence.

Matt had to do this dance because
it was written obviously that
he's a terrible dancer

and he dances like a drunk giraffe,

but Matt kind of made up this whole

routine and it's really funny.
It's kind of like this.

That is just how he dances.

I don't think they put it in
the script and he therefore
danced like that.

It's just the way he dances.
What a mover!

He's incredibly athletic
and graceful in his own way.

Flop a bit! And boom!

I wanted to see what would
happen if I wrote it in that he
was dancing and according to Amy...

That's terrible!
You are embarrassing!

...but having an
absolutely brilliant time doing it.

And I think Matt took it
seriously and invented his...

..dance which I'm sure
by the time this programme is
actually being broadcast will be

the rage of Britain in much the way
that fish custard has taken over
from any other breakfast snack.

And cut there. Great!

Well done.

It's not just the end of an episode,
it's the end of a series.

Where next for the Doctor
and his newly wed companions?

Did you dance?

Well, you always dance
at weddings, don't you?

- You tell me. - Spoilers.

Something that
we've been hearing about
throughout this series is going to

continue and become more significant
and we're going to learn more in the
next series, which is The Silence.

Pandorica will open
and silence will fall.

Right in Episode One, Prisoner Zero
tells the Doctor about The Silence.

What is that? Who is that? Who
are The Silence and what's coming?

Something drew the Tardis to this
particular date and blew it up.

Why? And why now? The Silence.

The whole point of The Silence
is next series.

Also, who is River Song?

You're going to
find out very soon now.

And I'm sorry,

but that's when everything changes.

Who's she really?

That's what we're going to
find out next year.
