"(DOCTOR WHO THEME)" "It's Wednesday, 9th of August, and it's the first day that Freema and I are on set together." "It's also very early." "They've called us in particularly early so we can do a photo shoot before we start filming." "I'm feeling a bit bleary-eyed." "I came back from London last night." "I'll be fine once I've had a cup of coffee." "But I'm quite excited, actually." " How was that, do you think?" " It was really good, but I always panic as soon as I'm in those outdoor shots 'cause there's no aid of artificial light." "It's just harsh daylight and it was..." " You looked gorgeous." " Oh, thanks, David." "I have just been given a load of pink pages." "Look, there's hundreds of them." "These are all the script alterations for episodes 1 and 2." "I guess this came out of the read-through the other day." "I don't think there's anything very major, but there's lots of tiny little fiddles and changes, even for some of today's scenes, so I guess I'd better stick them in the script." "And I've got my new suit on, which is quite exciting." "New burgundy boots." "And making a guest reappearance in this episode, the old PJs from last Christmas." "The first scene I'm going to do is scene 19, fact fans, where the Doctor..." "Where this suit, in fact, is revealed for the very first time, when the Doctor gets dressed in the hospital" "and he encourages Martha to come outside onto the moon with him." " Turn over, please." " All right, turning over." " And lock it." " Fifty-six, take one." "And action!" "But they're not exactly airtight." "If the air was gonna get sucked out, it would've happened straightaway, but it didn't." " So, how come?" " Very good point!" " Brilliant, in fact." "What was your name?" " Martha." "And it was Jones, wasn't it?" "Well, Martha Jones, question is, how are we still breathing?" "We can't be!" "Obviously we are so don't waste my time." "Martha, what have we got?" "Is there a balcony on this floor, or a veranda?" "By the patients' lounge, yeah." " You fancy going out?" " Okay." " We might die." " We might not." "Good." "Come on." "Not her, she'd hold us up." "Freema is on her third day." "Seems to be coping incredibly well." "She seems excited and she seems very full of beans about being here." "She doesn't seem nervous particularly." "Maybe she'd tell a different story, but she certainly seems to be on top of it." "She's been very good, I think." "She really is nailing it." "Freema has broken the door and locked the camera crew inside." " Well done." " She-Ra!" "There they go." "It's good that she's fitting in to be part of the team, as everyone predicted she would, I guess." "We were filming on the street today in Cardiff." "We started quite early and my bit was first." "So I was all done by probably 10:00 in the morning, but even by then, the crowds were gathering." "And then I left." "I'm up at the studios here now, where we're filming this afternoon, and Freema had a bit more to do in the street, so I don't know how crazier it got after I left." "I think she was just seeing for the first time the madness that is filming this show." "But I think she was quite enjoying that." "There were some little children waiting outside yesterday and that was..." "I think they spotted who I were and the mum said, "Oh, wave!"" "But at this stage, I still think..." "I don't know if it means..." "Do you know what I mean?" "It's not out yet and I don't know if it means as much to them." "If I walk over, they might just be looking over my shoulder." "We've had to get extra security in now just to try and control the amount of people who want to watch the filming." "It's mad." "It's a bit of a phenomenon." "You do wonder that, in 10 years' time..." "You look back on this time of life and kind of marvel at it, being part of the middle of this whirlwind, which isn't anything to do with me." "It's to do with this show." "But for now, I suppose I'm the public face of that show." "What a privilege, really." "What an honour." "Kind of mad when you're out in the street and you see people reacting to it" "and you see how excited they get and how thrilled they are by the show." "How wonderful." "What a great position to be in." "A little bit daunting, too." "So I suppose I'd better get into my suit, get on set." " Exactly, the same journey." " Yeah." "Monday, 14th of August, and it's our second week of filming on episode 1." "And we're back in Pontypool." "The hospital is being filmed in three different locations," "Swansea, here and an actual training hospital just down the road from our studios up in Treforest." "So this is the long corridors today, so basically lots of running around today." "Non-human!" " Oh, my God, you really are!" " And again." "The Judoon start day, and I've just seen a head in the prosthetics wagon in all its twitching and rubbery glory." "It looks absolutely fantastic." "Do you want me to give you a little twirl?" "Yeah, give us a twirl." "Excellent." "This is a headless Judoon." "How is it?" "Is it comfy?" " It is comfy." "It's very hot, though." " Yeah?" "I'm absolutely boiling now." "But, yeah, it's all right." "Identify humans and find the transgressor." "Find it!" "What is your inspiration for the Judoon?" "(IN DEEP VOICE) A very big Muppet with a big... (GROWLING)" " Very nice." "Very nice." " No, I studied the mask and the personality bubbled up from inside my being." "It almost felt like there was a horn growing on my nose." "You see, then, I was just... (GROWLING)" "Human." "Wait." "Non-human trace suspected." "Non-human element confirmed." "Authorise full scan." "I'm looking a bit peaky because Anne Reid has been sucking my blood through a straw." " Hi!" " Hi." " It's Anne Reid." "How are you doing?" " I'm fine, thank you." " I've had a wonderful time." " Have you enjoyed being on Doctor Who?" " And sucking your blood out, darling." " Yes." "It's been one of the most interesting experiences of my life." "You laughed quite a lot during that scene." "No, I didn't." "No, you laughed." " No, I was very professional." " No, I didn't laugh." "I was very professional and, unfortunately, you were, I think, dragging the side down." "Will the audience laugh?" "This is what worries me." "(LAUGHING) I think they'll be captivated." "It's been a ball." "I've had a wonderful time." "And I just wondered if you could put a word in because, well, I don't actually want to go." " No." " And I thought if I could play a Judoon," " a small Judoon..." " Right." "...with one of those headpieces on..." " Nobody would know." "...no one would know it was me." " You could come back again and again." "And now I have to carry Freema along a corridor." "It's my King Lear moment." "We've already done a month, so we've only got eight months to go." "So it's weird how quickly this job hurtles by." "It's Wednesday, 23rd of August." "It should be the height of summer, but it's absolutely chucking it down." "So, yeah, we're nearly moving on to episode 2, which I have heard is going to be called "Theatre of Doom", which is a rather grand and glorious title." "I don't know if it'll still be called "Theatre of Doom" come next March." "Let's wait and see, but I quite like that." "We're going to Coventry, Warwick and then three days in the Globe, as the filming on "Theatre of Doom" starts in earnest from this afternoon." "So, yeah, we're in studio for the next few days and then off round the country." "It should be good, 'cause we rarely do that on this show." "Swansea is about as far as we ever make it." "So, if nothing else, it'll be good fun." "Proper, proper nights, though." "Proper through the nights," "9:00 pm till 8:00 am type hours, which is always tough just to keep going through." "But it'll be good." "It'll be worth it." "Worth it to get into the Globe, particularly." "And that's the news, I think." "Here we are arriving on set in Coventry." "AGYEMAN:" "Oh, wow!" "Look!" "Look at that!" "TENNANT:" "A little bit of ye olde set dressing." "Yeah, so Doctor Who goes on tour." " I'm his new bird, yeah." " Yes!" "We're in Coventry for one night." "Two nights in Warwick tomorrow." "And it's quite exciting, quite fun to be on the road." "There are some period bloomers." "It has just started to rain, which is great." "There's Shakespeare." "For the last week in August, you'd think we could get some nice weather." "Farwell's wearing a Shakespearean shirt in honour of the day." "Very nice." "So that's it." "We're here." "We're on the road." "Kind of like Spinal Tap with a Tardis." "Action!" "MAN:" "Reset, please." "WOMAN:" "No running through set, please." "So, I think our night in Coventry went well." "It was a really fantastic location, so we lucked out." "There were quite a few people who came down to watch the filming last night, but they were all very well behaved and didn't cause the production any difficulty," "which was great." "And we got everything done." "We finished on time and on schedule, which bodes well for what is going to be a fairly mental week." "MAN:" "One more, please." "Freema and I are on our way to Warwick for part two of the grand tour." "One night, very quick, in and out." "And I think Warwick's only 20 minutes away, so..." "So we get Warwick tonight, Warwick tomorrow night and then off to the Globe." "Our hotel is on an industrial estate." "How charming." "Lovely, historic Warwick's a pastoral idyll." "On an industrial estate in the rain." "Look at that!" "Living history." " AGYEMAN:" "Oh, God, that's our man." " Is it?" " Yeah." " Oh, is he part of us?" "Yeah." "Oh, that's not quite so exciting, then, is it?" "(AGYEMAN LAUGHING)" "I didn't want to spoil the moment for you." " AGYEMAN:" "Oh, my God!" " Did you know that all along, Wayne?" "Yeah." "I just didn't want to spoil the moment." " You let me stitch myself up?" " Yeah." "Thanks very much." "AGYEMAN:" "That's hilarious, 'cause John was saying that guy is a real farmer." "Not so historic Warwick, then." "Just us, messing around." " Oh!" "Ye olde archway." " Wow!" "That's great." "AGYEMAN:" "Look at the beams!" "Look." "Ye olde houses, hundreds of ye olde houses." "Look at that." "That's why you come to historic Warwick." "AGYEMAN:" "Yeah." "Ye olde crash barriers, ye olde BBC crew." "AGYEMAN:" "Ye olde excitement when David steps out of the car." "TENNANT:" "Ye olde..." "Not such a big crowd today." "Our popularity's obviously waning." " Oh, no, hang on." "There they all are." " Historic Warwick doesn't care." "Not at all." "So this is proper "ye olde", this." "Ye olde Tardis." "Henry VI is playing this week." "One of his early works." "Ye olde knives." "Ye olde bench with some ye olde candles on it." "Ye olde potato." "Ye olde barrel." "Ye olde dung." "This is genuine 16th-century dung which the prop department has sourced and brought all the way from Cardiff." "Somebody stood in that a bit." "That may not be a genuine 16th-century trainer print." "I'm not sure." "I'll have to check." "Two Gentlemen of Verona is also on this week." "Another of his early pieces." "Genuine ye olde poster." "That's genuine ye olde Blu Tack." " Officially sourced." " All genuine." "Yeah." "That's genuine ye olde camera equipment." "I wonder how long I can keep going with this "genuine ye olde" joke." "It's amusing me, certainly." " Nice location, Gareth." " Thank you, David." "Yeah." "Has it been a nightmare?" " It's been a dream." "The easiest one..." " Has it?" " Absolute dream." " Has it?" "Yeah, it was so easy here." " Really?" " Absolute dream." " Touch wood." " Yeah." "As long as we don't break anything that's very, very old." " Don't break anything in the Globe." " No." "Especially, don't break anything." " Are you nervous about the Globe?" " Not at all." " It's what it is." "In we go..." " Yeah." "In at one time, out by a time." "He's brilliantly optimistic." "Oh, my God, we did it!" "We travelled in time!" "And we had a good night." "We got everything done." "I think the art department have really excelled themselves on this episode." "It's really exciting to be filming this." "This is what time travel would really look like." "And action!" "Oh, yes!" "The Globe Theatre!" "I think it's looking good." "It feels good." "Bit of green screen for the Globe, but other than that, just filming on this incredible, incredible location." "Everyone's body clock is now well and truly banjaxed." "It's now 8:20 in the evening and we're just starting work." "We got back to the hotel this morning about 6:30." "So we're all now entirely nocturnal." "But everyone seems to be coping, and I find there is such a..." "The period detail and the scale of what we're shooting here makes it really exciting." "I think everyone's enjoying it." "And we've had good weather, too." "We had a perfect night last night." "It's not looking so good tonight, but we might be lucky." "You never know." "And I saw the forecast for our three days at the Globe." "It's pretty atrocious." "However, time will tell." "We're doing through the night tonight, obviously, and then we head off to London tomorrow." "So, fingers crossed we'll have another good night tonight." "The Globe is going to be the most insane of our locations because we've got so much to do and only three days to do it in, so we're only filming the wide shot." "And we're going to build little bits of the Globe back in Cardiff and shoot the close-ups against them." "Not the way you would normally choose to film a drama, but I suppose the location is so unique and, as we can only have it for three days, we really have to make the absolute most of it, I suppose." "Apparently, even Shakespeare in Love weren't allowed to film in the Globe." "I don't quite know why they've granted us such extraordinary permission, but I'm very glad that they have." "I hope we don't break anything." "We're about to arrive at the Globe." "Haven't we just driven past it?" "Hey." "And up here, the traditional ye olde lighting zeppelins, which, of course," "are exactly reproduced as they were in Shakespeare's day." "Is this the best location we've ever had?" "I think this is probably the best location we've ever..." " It's certainly the biggest." " Yeah." "And the one that's given me the most sleepless nights, anyway." "Yeah." "See, when they see this, they're never going to believe we built this in a warehouse in Cardiff, are they?" "They're going to think it's the real thing." "There's the M4 just outside there." "And there's people in the shop round the corner talking Welsh." "This is really not the Globe." "It's a huge CGI image." "Yeah." "Very good, though." "It's really well done, isn't it?" "(TENNANT WHOOPS)" "Dave Houghton looking a little bit nervous about how he's going to make 50 supporting artists look like 340." "(TENNANT LAUGHING)" "Very good." "Very good." "Action!" "So we're here." "We're finally at the Globe." "We've started turning over." "So we've got some stuff in the can, and this is it." "We're finally here." "The rain's off so far." "Fingers crossed." "And it's really exciting." "What a location." "It's 5:30 am and dawn is beginning to show, which means we're going to have to move on to the daytime scenes any minute now." "But it's gone okay tonight." "The rain stayed off and I think we've done okay." "I think we've got most of what we wanted." "As long as they can finish this scene now before it gets too light." "That gives us a couple of hours to get in the next scene, which is daytime." "Yeah." "I'm getting quite used to this nocturnal existence." "I feel all right." "A few people are beginning to fade, but I've been quite lucky." "I've managed to conk out through the day, so I've been getting enough sleep, so I'm still in one piece, really." "But morning is coming." "Say again?" " Dean, it's your last day." " It is my last day." "Now, Dean's grown his own beard." "You've had to have yours stuck on." "Is that a reflection on your masculinity?" "Can you tell the difference?" "I think that looks as though I was probably born with it." "No, it looks as though he was cast at the very last minute." "We completed the week bang on schedule, which everyone was very nervous about before we started." "There was a lot to do this week in quite difficult circumstances." "But maybe because everyone was so nervous about it, they were also hyper-prepared." "And everything went fairly seamlessly." "We didn't get rained on much and we got it all done." "In fact, so much so that I didn't have to go in last night for the final night at the Globe." "All my stuff was completed on the Friday night." "So we were almost ahead of ourselves." "It's Monday, 18th of September, and block three starts today." "Boe's back." "We've finished with Shakespeare and suddenly we're in the far future again, year 5000000053." "Marvellous." "Anna Hope's back as Novice Hame." "She's in today." "And today, it's just me and her and the Face of Boe, who's also back with us." "He's not getting much work elsewhere, to be honest." "He's quite specific casting." "He's just a head and really..." "There was a chance of something on Midsomer Murders, but it didn't work out in the end." "So Russell's cutting him some slack and giving him another part in this, although he does die, so he's going to have to look for something else." "I don't know." "Good to be back in the future again." "A bit different." "Richard Clark, new director." "I haven't worked with him yet, but seems like a good man." "And we're in the Temple of Peace today, which sounds like something we've made up but is an actual Cardiff location." "And I found out it opened in 1938 and was a gift by Lord David Davies of Llandinam to the Welsh people, given as a memorial to those who died in the First World War." "There you go." "That's it, really." "The cats are back." "Ardal O'Hanlon joins us in a couple of days." " Have you got your teeth in?" " Yeah, my teeth are in." "Let's see." " Is it nice to slip into all that?" " Oh, it's fabulous." " When were you up this morning?" " At 5:45." " Yeah?" " Yeah." " Nice." " Yeah." " You've missed it, haven't you?" " I really missed it." " Sure." " I love it." "You've still got a nice wet nose." "Looking healthy." "Yeah?" "I'm a bit older, though." "Apparently cats' noses get a little less wet-looking as they get older." " Do they?" " Apparently so." "You're also a bit more ginger." "Is that something that happens when you age?" "Yeah." "Yeah, sure it is." "It is now."
