"It's the Doctor's fantasy versus Rory's fantasy. action hero..." "Waa!" "And '70s rock god." "HE MOUTHS" "It's been such a fast episode." "Action!" "So much happens in it." "Agh!" "Whether it's battling with old people or freezing to death on a TARDIS." "that it's kind of a bit of rip-roaring fun." "I just had a nice little nap on the floor." "that's how..." "I did actually dribble." "That's how professional he is." "So join Confidential as Arthur takes us through the filming process from beginning...to end." "Ah!" "Ah!" "I'm going to show you around a bit and kind of show you how we made it." "It's day one of the production block and in the studios in Cardiff" "Arthur has the latest script hot off the press to prepare for the cast and crew read-through." "I don't." "It's a little cafe on set." "We received the final script of this today." "And we've got the read-through this afternoon." "And then we start filming it tomorrow." "I'm quite looking forward to this one cos it's a really funny script. there's only so much you can prepare." "But it's good to hear the whole story it really is a first impression." "And sometimes you really go for it." "I suppose. so it's not" "I don't think." "But it gives a good idea of vaguely what's going on in the story." "I think the thing that blew us away about Arthur was - and we saw a lot of good people for the part of Rory - was just how funny he was." "Arthur has that perfect..." "He always finds a perfect moment for a gag." "You just summoned aliens back to Earth!" "Actual aliens." "Deadly aliens." "Aliens of death." "And now you're taking your clothes off." "He found a space next to our two leads who already seemed rather complete. which is a tremendous tribute to Arthur's brilliance." "Hi." "Hello." "you're a doctor!" "I've passed some exams." "just like you always dreamed. at work." "And the person who dreamt up this dreamscape is writer Simon Nye. so he was keen." "where we're happy and settled and about to have a baby! it's nice to write something they'd watch as well as the challenge of writing something slightly more sci-fi and adventurey than I'm used to." "not him." "Why are you so insecure?" "You ran off with another man!" "Not in that way." "we're in a time machine." "It's the night before our wedding for as long as we want! a lot of his comedy is about ordinary people in a way." "Beautifully observed." "That's what he brings to this episode. very beautifully rendered. but the Dream Lord is switching us between worlds." "Why?" "What's the logic?" "The Dream Lord appears wearing an incredibly ornate poncho. so I can have a little chat with your lovely companion." "Maybe I'll keep her and you can have Pointy-Nose to yourself for all eternity." "don't I?" "We all get a bit of bashing in this." "Actually... big chin." "You've had this the entire time." "It's better than..." "Sure." "so he has no idea why..." "You don't know what he does every single time he refers to Rory?" "Not every single time!" "right!" "honestly!" "I don't always do it!" "Right." "it's a good thing!" "Is this being filmed?" "Thanks(!" ") Arthur's going to beat me up now." "But it's a good thing." "Don't worry about it." "I had to distinguish..." "I've got to go!" "See you tomorrow!" "I'll see you..."

"Like a lady." "We hope." "We hope!" "so here we go!" "This is the wig." "sir?" "On there?" "so that..." "Yep." "I don't think we need to do anything to it." "I think it was called like a Britney wig or something at first." "I look pretty..." "Pretty good." "the make-up designer for this did an amazing job cutting it to make it look a bit more masculine..." "A bit more masculine." "And then put it back in a ponytail." "The ponytail was entirely Simon Nye's idea." "I remember picking up the script and reading the first page and went how are we going to do that?" "saying that's just funny." "Rory has a ponytail because he thinks that's his way of cutting rural doctor." "misguidedly" " I think we can all agree - grows a ponytail." "so I haven't had any..." "Don't give me that face." "SHE LAUGHS" "Everyone basically has just told me how cool I look with it." "There have been no negative comments so far." "I think it's safe to say." "But it was really funny." "It made Arthur look really different." "actually." "And I hope he doesn't get any ideas and decides to grow his hair like that." "I look a bit like my dad when he was younger." "Cos he was long-haired for a while." "Dad." "it wasn't just Arthur's hair which gained some extra body." "Playing pregnant was so much fun." "I got really attached to the bump." "I really did!" "It really affected me actually." "SHE HUMS it just became quite natural. but this was all subconscious." "Strange!" "Look at you!" "When worlds collide!" "look at you both five years later." "You haven't changed a bit!" "Apart from age and size." "Doctor." "Are you pregnant?" "We're all very used to beautifully slim Karen Gillan like a supercharged giraffe." "she's wheezing behind." "Wait!" "Stop!" "can we not do the running thing?" "can we not do the running thing? and she suddenly can't." "Hello and welcome to a new segment of Doctor Who Confidential called Arthur Chews The Fat." "I will be chatting to the good and the great on Doctor Who and literally today I will be chewing the fat with Karen Gillan." "SHE LAUGHS Hello!" "Kazzer." "Hi." "a few quick questions for you today." "literally chewing the fat?" Nothing." "OK." "Fire away!" "how is it being massive?" "It's fantastic." "I'd like to introduce you to my... in fact..." "Yeah." "Unborn child." "What is it actually made of?" "I don't know." "what's inside the bump?" "It's a latex prosthetic bump." "costume." "That's why we have a little belly button." "Belly button." "See." "Woo!" "No stuffing." "So it's slightly heavy as well." "And I have massive breasts made of lentils." "That's lovely." "Thank you for that." "Have you become attached to the belly?" "I do not want to take it off." "some might say. but now you seem like a daft wee boy." "Next question? which is basically kind of moving it around and shaking it and it just looked really weird." "go on!" "Show them the belly dance!" "no!" "Get it away!" "Get it away!" "Ah!" "Were you doing that in the mirror all of yesterday lunchtime?" "Pretty much." "To The White Stripes."

"And what did you mean about Mrs Poggett's nice old lady act? there isn't really an average filming day." "obviously you get picked up but everything that happens in between is always so varied that you just have to approach each day with an open mind." "We're all dreaming the same dream at the same time? because this village is so dull! but we do get a chance to play with it." "Playtime is definitely over." "Matt and Karen we kind of immediately have ideas with what to do and how our characters would behave in each situation." "take one." "B camera only." "yeah?" "And action!" "which is a master of the whole thing. so everyone knows the geography of it." "And then they go in for close-ups..." "Nothing bad could ever happen here." "It's not really me though. "Here's a camera in your face." "so I don't have to see them doing Oklahoma." "you kind of forget about it." "You just get on with it." "I know who you are." "Course you don't." "but there's only one person in the universe who hates me as much as you do." "Never mind me." "Maybe you should worry about them."

"It's getting a bit dark." "So this is the last shot that we're doing today." "We're all just hanging around to watch someone get covered in goo." "'Action.'" "Morning." "In that scene there were different effects shots and they take for ever because you have to film them in so many different ways. then you have to film it from different angles. but it's actually a few hours' work to get that done." "Morning. but it's been going well and we've had all the old people - is that politically correct to say "old people"?"

"You said it was a nightmare." "Did I say nightmare?" "No." "More of a really good...mare." "it doesn't matter." "We all had some kind of psychic episode." "We probably jumped a time track." "Forget it!" "BIRDS TWEETING We're back to reality now." "I think the most interesting thing about a dream is that while the dream is happening you absolutely think it's real." ""Phew!" "That wasn't real." "it's all solid." "too." "You can't spot a dream while you're having it." "pixilation." "It could be a computer simulation." "though." "I think that this episode is very much about how often the emotions that a dream will generate can effect your waking state to such an extent that you begin to question your waking state." "And manipulating the mares of the TARDIS threesome is a powerful new thug." "What are you?" "What shall we call me?" "let's call me the Dream Lord." "The Dream Lord is the villain throughout this episode." "'Spooky." "Not quite there.'" "And yet very much here." "he's little... me." "..and he's in complete control."

"our naughty Doctor." "she thought she was the first." "I know who you are." "Course you don't." "Course I do." "The Doctor has figured out who it is." "the most sinister thing about the episode" ""I know the Dream Lord's me." "wasn't it obvious?" "The Dream Lord was me." "it's a mind parasite." "It feeds on everything dark in you." "Gives it a voice." "Turns it against you. all that vicious stuff I keep hidden away coming out to play and torturing me and torturing my friends." "What about this?" "Don't you think you're this?" It's the kind of nightmare you." "rather than a dream." "you don't think any of that's true? in the form of Toby Jones." "the Who crew get ready to turn Arthur into an all-action stunt supremo."

"that's not really the hard bit. would be fun to do." "But I think he's going to do it with the trampoline onto the crash mat and then just onto the floor." "Gord?" "Yep." "action." "please."

"And then they cut to a shot from... which is actually a stunt woman who I was allowed to hit." "I really hit her with it?" "Yes." "yes?" "Yes." "yeah?" "The way they cut it together makes it look like I've just hit... a dear old lady with a big stick." "But it's necessary because she's got an alien living inside her." "Argh!" "I wasn't quite sure if I... if it looked real enough." "But I watched it back and I think it does." "They'll cut it together and put a big sound effect on it so I'm sure it'll be..."

"I honestly didn't until right now. when Rory dies." "Maybe he realises exactly what she wants." "OK. but the thought of living without him is... not worth considering." "'It's amazing." "'It really cements... 'their relationship...' at that point." "And it makes Rory so happy." "wahey!" "hear or feel." "This is good." "So...?" "then?" "Where now?" "I don't know."
