02x12 - Welcome to Torchwood

[bunniefuu]

Daleks made of bronze...
Exterminate! Cybermen of steel...

Torchwood made of ordinary human
flesh. No point hiding anything.

Not from us.

Put them together...

What a fight!

Boom!

We're about to do
the scene with the Daleks,

when they first come out. And I'm a
bit nervous. Because I've seen them,

and I was getting goosebumps.

The Mickey you see today
is a new kind of brave Mickey,

a Mickey that's been away from the
Doctor and Rose for quite some time

and has come to sort out
what he thinks are the Cybermen.

Exterminate! Exterminate!

I was a bit prima donna-ish earlier
- "I need some tea!

"Something warm to help my throat!"

I'm loving it!
It's like a holiday...with Daleks!

..Take two.

Action.

That's not Cybermen.

Oh, my God!

Location, Earth.
Life forms detected.

Exterminate! Exterminate!
Exterminate! Exterminate...!

Daleks are back because Daleks always
come back. That's what Daleks do.

And they are loved. I love them.

I think there's a whole
new generation that loves them,

and an old generation that always
loved them, and you'd be mad
to say they're gone forever.

At the end of season one,
we always knew they'd come back.

If the Daleks weren't in Doctor Who
it is like fish without chips,

or Cagney without Lacey.
It's just wrong.

The Daleks have to come back,
no matter how utterly
they're defeated and destroyed.

You can wipe out their ships,
they have to come back.

I will not die!

I cannot die...!

I really think they're an essential
part of Doctor Who. For many people,
it is Doctor Who and the Daleks.

The first time
that Rose saw a Dalek

was the first time that Rose saw

the Doctor really weep.

Exterminate!

Exterminate! Let me out!

Exterminate!

Seeing them going along corridors,
wandering round Torchwood -

they've been looking for
alien intelligence and
suddenly they've got Daleks there -

and then they're fighting
the Cybermen.

I don't think they really tended
to do that in the classic series -

put monsters together.
It seems an obvious thing now.

It's one of those things I think
people who watched the show casually

imagine has happened before.

They imagine that the Daleks and
Cybermen must have fought each other.

They never have - it's a first.

Identify yourself.

We are the Cybermen.

You will be deleted. Exterminate!

Delete! Exterminate!

Delete! Exterminate!

Delete!

'Bit of a nightmare'

for the Doctor, of course!
The two greatest enemies -
he's got to defeat them both.

You just think, "We're bringing back
the Cybermen, we've got the Daleks.

"I think that's exactly what an
-year-old would do in their head."

In playgrounds across the country,
since , pretty much,

people have said, "Who's best?
Daleks or Cybermen?"

Finally, we get to find out.

Here we go.

And action.

The machines - do what they say.

Don't fight them.

Don't sh**t!

What are they?

We are the Cybermen.

Suddenly there's the Tardis,
and there's a Dalek and a Cyberman.

It's really, really exciting.

I bumped into one on the way up
as he was working out his moves.

I said, "Oh, sorry." And he just
stared at me and turned...

He didn't say anything, which shook
me up even more. What a scaredy cat.

So now it's the Daleks,
the Cybermen and Torchwood
all out to get the Doctor.

But did you spot the Torchwood
references throughout the series?

The Doctor Who train-spotter's guide
to Torchwood is...

Touchdown? No, Torchwood.

What about Torchwood?
Still working on it.

The Torchwood Institute.

Can't get any photos.
It's all classified - secret.

MUSIC: "Every Breath You Take"
by The Police

Stevie, how's things?
How's it going at Torchwood?

Tomorrow, on the big day,
we'll have Torchwood on our backs,
make no mistake.

You really have to pay attention
to that one.

Representing the Torchwood archive.

With the Torchwood files we can look
at the old databases in a new light.

And I know we'll not feel alone
ever again.

I think that's pretty much
everything.

♪ Every move you make
Every step you take

♪ I'll be watching you... ♪

Oh, my God.

Is it him? It's him.

The Doctor, in a sense,
is indirectly responsible
for Torchwood's creation.

Queen Victoria set it up almost
in retaliation to him

back in Tooth And Claw.

I propose an institute

to investigate these strange
happenings and to fight them.

We can presume that it's always been
there throughout the many years of
Doctor Who's life

when he lived on Earth working for
the United Nations.

It's like having the CIA and the FBI
not telling each other
what they're doing.

I think that the Doctor was
officially the enemy of Torchwood.

And if this Doctor should return,
then he should beware...

because Torchwood will be waiting.

The Doctor remains blissfully unaware
that this place exists

until, in episode ,

'he lands the Tardis there

'and discovers that there's
this HUGE organisation....'

And...and you are?

Oh, plenty of time for that.

There's something slightly worrying
about Torchwood.

There's something a little bit
master racey about it

which, of course, the Doctor is not
particularly pleased with.

Initially based in the Scottish
Highlands, by episode Torchwood
is in London.

Hold on a minute!
We're in Canary Wharf.

This Torchwood that the Doctor
has encountered now,

is evil - I hate using that word but
they are bad guys in some ways -

but they're also very professional
and measured about what they do.

Thank you...Sebastian, isn't it?
Yes, ma'am.

Thank you, Sebastian. It's important
to know everyone by name.

Torchwood is a very modern
organisation.

People skills -
that's what it's about these days.
I'm a people person.

She's utterly charming but also
is vehemently patriotic -

truly believes that everything
they're doing at Torchwood is for
the good of the British Empire.

She wants to make Britain great. I
guess she's a pseudo-Fascist really.

It was only a matter of time
until you found us

and at last you've made it.
I'd like to welcome you, Doctor.

Welcome to Torchwood.

That's a Jathaa sunglider.

Came down to Earth off the Shetland
Islands ten years ago. Did it crash?

No, we sh*t it down... I've got
a drip on my nose. I'm really sorry!

LAUGHTER
Action!

DOOR BANGS
Ohh! And again!

CLATTER

That might've been my fault cos I
asked Tracy-Ann to push both doors.

When I pushed my door, it felt like,
"Why am I pushing a door?"

As long as you both come together,
and it should be her.
It's your fault!

It was only a matter of time
until you found us,
and at last you've made it.

I'd like to welcome you, Doctor.

Welcome...to Torchwood.

A vast array of alien artefacts
had to be created for episode ,

the most important of which
is the sphere.

They try everything they can
to get this sphere to open

and it won't open, but then, one day,
all these ghosts start arriving
into the world.

And...

we're into ghost shift.

Online.

You now know why you needed
sunglasses. It's really blinding.

Yeah, that's great.

Mostly, I would describe exactly
where various things would happen

within the set, and they had great
use of their own imagination.

Bright light,
really bleaching out the room,

and suddenly there are
loads of ghosts.

It's a chance to work with CGI and
a lot of stuff that you can't see,

to use your imagination.

There are , , of them,

ghosts. You've never seen
this amount before.

Achieving full transfer...

They're Cybermen.

All the ghosts are Cybermen.

Millions of them.

Right across the world.

We sh*t people against green screen.
Dave Houghton, effects supervisor,

went through the script,

and worked out what angles and what
kind of movements we needed to film.

OK, so start to judder again.

When you swipe this time,
continue shuddering.

If you swipe now...

Who are you?

Where are you coming from?

Like it? Not so friendly now,
are you?

We were quite conscious not to make
them too dissimilar from Cybermen,

because they were going
to materialise into them,

but we didn't want to give
the game away either,

so they had to be generic enough
for all the characters to assume
they were the ghosts

they wanted them to be.

Ten past.

Here he comes.

Jackie thinks it's her dead father,

so the ghosts need to look human.
At the same time,

that's a cheat,
because we know from the script

that the ghosts are Cybermen.

And we wanted to build
to that huge cliffhanger.

'Sphere activated...
Sphere activated.'

Daleks and Cybermen at w*r
is the ultimate.

The two major enemies of the Doctor,
converging.

It is as many armies as possible
descending on the Torchwood Tower.

It's a dark moment for the Doctor.
He's a prisoner of the Cybermen
at the top of the Torchwood Tower.

He just knows he's gonna
have to deal with Cybermen.

They're invading the whole planet.

It's not an invasion, it's too
late for that. It's a victory.

It's awful. It's awful.

Not great.

They are terrified.

He doesn't yet know about the Daleks.

It's about as bad as it's ever been.

It's as big as it gets to build up
to a big climax.

EXTERMINATE!

Fire!

DISTORTED SCREAMS

And it's absolutely going to deliver.
