"Of all the planets in all the worlds, the Doctor has to land on ours." "But why would a 900-year-old Time Lord want to mingle with us mere mortals?" " He may look human." " I'm a Time Lord." " He may sound human." " I'm the last of the Time Lords." "But anyone from Gallifrey is a long way from home." "I'm left travelling on my own 'cause there's no one else." "So why is he on Earth'?" "And what's he hiding?" "Doctor Who Confidential is about to find out." "One of the problems of Doctor Who is that its greatest strength could be its greatest weakness." "In that you've got the freedom to go anywhere in time and space." "And that is wonderful and liberating." "It can also get annoying because it means there's no anchor, there's no connection to the people watching, which is a very, very important thing." "And you're only going to do that by constantly bringing Rose back to Earth." " How long have I been gone'?" " About 12 hours." "Story-wise, it feels good, it grounds it again." "You can go to the end of the universe so long as you know you can come back." "If you just go to the end of the universe and stay there, then you've lost me." "Right, I won't be long." "I just want to see my mum." " What are you gonna tell her'?" " I don't know." "I've been to year five billion and only been gone, what, 12 hours'?" "No, I'll just tell her I spent the night at Shareen's." "See you later." "It's funny, as a cast and crew, it's like every time we come back to a Jackie and Mickey episode, there's a bit of a buzz, actually." "It's like we like getting them back in." "I was going to come and see you." "Someone owes Mickey an apology." " I'm sorry." "I think they kept her coming back because it was to show how it affected... her mother and her boyfriend." "How old are you, then'?" "40'?" "45'?" "What, did you find her on the internet'?" "Did you go online and pretend you're a doctor'?" "I am a doctor." "Prove it." "Stitch this, mate." "He has huge feelings for...the world." "But domestic, he doesn't like domestic." "He doesn't do domestic." " Are you going to stay here new?" " I don't know." " I can't do that to her again, though." " Well, she's not coming with us." " No chance." " I don't do families." "She slapped you." "900 years of time and space and I've never been slapped by someones mother." " Your face." " It hurt!" "You're so gay!" "He seems very fond of the human race." "But, equally, if the human race behaves unpleasantly towards an alien, he takes it very personal." "Obviously." "Hello." "Don't shoot!" "He calls them "stupid apes"." "And he gets very frustrated with their cruelty and negativity." "What did you do that for'?" "It was scared." "It was scared." "And yet there's the other side to him, which is kind of ruthless, brutal pragmatist." "If something or somebody is threatening the human race or existence, he'll kill it." "In episodes four and five, this imperfect race are under threat, once again." "We are the Slitheen." "While world domination was not going to be easy for the Slitheen, just bringing these aliens to life was no easy task either." "Combining the latest prosthetic design and computer-generated technology, there are more to these nasty green giants than meets the eye." "We'll start with the actor wearing a prosthetic, sort of, unzipping their forehead." "And then we cut to a person, a sort of character-mover, wearing a green suit." "And they have this prosthetic that they appear to be sort of breaking out from within." " Is it all as one piece'?" " Yeah." " It's all as one and it kind of rolls down." " Okay." "Do you want to tuck it into the skirt'?" " There, that's it." " Could you do it like how it's going to..." "look." "And we then, basically, have our completely CGI Slitheen that we put over the top of the actor inside the green suits movements." "And we put that together with the element of the real prosthetic that was, sort of, shriveling down the actor." "And that's how we created that effect." "The hardest part is the arms 'cause they're the heaviest." "There's a framework inside and then there's three rings that you put these three fingers into." "With the weight of the arm as well, it's actually quite a lot of weight." "But it's good fun!" "Taking over Downing Street can be tiring work." "A lot of stuff that I've been doing has been quite physical." "First majorly physical thing I did was actually lifting Nav, who is playing Indra in one of the episodes, and lifting him up by his throat." "And he's on a winch... and so most of the shot was me bringing the arm into shot, clutching him by the throat, and lifting him into the air." "Which is just such a really cool feeling." "Actually, it's a lot of fun." "Of course, he's on a winch and you've got a guy at the other end pulling the rope up and taking the slack." "He just flew straight up." "That scene was great fun to do." "The reason why a lot of people become actors is 'cause you just get paid to dress up and play." "And it's not just the job for the boys." "The difference for me is that I've tried to find a slightly more female way of moving." "So I'm slightly more, sort of, hippy than the fellas." "And also the costume is the same size as the blokes but obviously, because I'm smaller," "I'm completely inside mine." "So I have a bit of a J-Lo bottom." "Excuse me." "What's going on here'?" "We have problems because we're actually eight feet tall." "And we have to squash down into human bodies so there's a bit of gas exchange that happens that's embarrassing and amusing." "And any British person will enjoy it enormously." "Excuse me, do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world'?" "Would you rather silent but deadly'?" "But when aliens crash into the Thames, it's no laughing matter." "In Aliens of London, it begins with... what Russell describes in his script as the perfect spaceship crash over London." "Which involved building a 3-D model for the spaceship and animating it." "And, actually, the last shot in that sequence is one of my favorite shots in all the episodes." "Sort of, done with what I call "photo-real water", which is quite a challenge in animation terms." "You can see here that the ship feels like it's hitting the camera." "Giving it that impression that you're really in the water and it's coming at you and hitting you in the face." "On the original, the water is not affected by our spaceship because it's not really there." "So, we had to recreate the surface of the water again." "And we used the simulation of the model hitting this to create this effect." "This kind of wave effect." "And then what I did next is I got a couple of practical elements, which is a splash here, which is just from some old footage." "And we've got this splash element here, which is actually sand." "Sand's always a good thing to use practically for water because it gets the scale of the water to create a little bit more impact when it hits the water." "So you get this big splash." "As you can see, there's the real element of the splash I just showed you, and then you get all this spray, which comes from the sand." "So the next thing I did was I got another bit of old 2-D footage of the underwater." "I made it look a bit browner because, obviously, the Thames is not beautiful blue like the tropics." "Blended that in, and then when the ship comes towards the camera, it knocks it to really give you that impression that you're being hit." "Leave this planet or I'll stop you." "What'?" "You'?" "Trapped in your box." "Yes, me." "I like the idea of this character going out at 7:00 because he's not cozy...for kids." "He's not comfortable." "The series doesn't duck that there are difficult decisions to be made in life." " There's a way out." " What'?" " There's always been a way out." " Then why don't we use it'?" "Because I can't guarantee your daughter will be safe." "Don't you dare." "Whatever it is, don't you dare." "That's the thing, if I don't dare, everyone dies." "He feels himself to be the last of the Time Lords." "And there's a dark secret there, which gives him a sadness." "The fact that he has no home." "Do it." "You don't even know what it is, you'd just let me'?" "Yeah." "And there's a loneliness to the Doctor which is key to his relationship with Rose." "Please, Doctor, please." "She's my daughter." "She's just a kid." "Do you think I don't know that'?" "'Cause this is my life, Jackie." "It's not fun, it's not smart, it's just standing up and making a decision." "Because nobody else will." " Then what are you waiting for'?" "I could save the world but lose you." "He's basically saying, "I'm lonely." "I want somebody to come with me."" "And Rose has her own secret kind of tragedy." "That's what brings them together." "What are you doing'?" "Hacking into the Royal Navy." " We're in." "Sub harpoon, UGM84A." " That's the one." "Select." " I could stop you." " Do it, then." " You ready for this?" " Yeah." "Mickey the idiot, the world is in your hands." "Fire." "Made in Britain." "Oh, my God." "Are you all right'?" "Harriet Jones, MP Flydale North." "I want you to contact the UN immediately." "Tell the ambassadors the crisis is over." "They can step down." "So the Doctor has saved mankind once again." "But his next visit to Earth will surely test his own humanity to the limit." "Exterminate."
