"'in the alliance to match all alliances.'" "This episode has to say "big"." "Listen to me!" "we are really going mad with this one." "'Amy's reunited with an old friend.'" "I'm back!" "I didn't die." "but you died." "'The cast and crew make their way over ground to Stonehenge.' hour." "basically." "We just ran at it." "'And Confidential goes underground to see the pandemonium behind the Pandorica.'" "Episode 12 is the answer to all the questions in all the other episodes." "It's the beginning of the end of this series." "the Doctor Who cast and crew are preparing for a climactic cliff-hanger." "with your arms behind you." "Throw you that way. where he's going to be imprisoned." "it's the death of the Doctor." "Or the Doctor that we know." "and I'll swing like that." "So we've got all the monsters out here." "This is the first time we've had Cybermen and Daleks and Sontarans all together in one big thing." "It's like a big classic Doctor Who cliff-hanger. and how is it going to get out?" "It's doom for him." "and action!" "Time for the ultimate alien alliance to get suited and booted ready to take on the Doctor." "We've done pretty well so far." "We've got first ads trained in all the alien languages." "We've got people who speak pure Dalek and Sontaran translators out there." "We're marshalling them quite well I think." "Camera! Daleks and Sontarans in the same frame." "You've got Cybermen and Weevils and all these kind of things. like some sort of terrible alliance." "brilliant." "OK." "I'm really excited." "We've just got to get all the shots in." "Action!" "understood." "The Pandorica is ready!" "Ready for what?" "DALEK:" "Ready for you." "I think I'm most impressed with the Sontarans. and he's really quite scary. he's constantly looking really angry but it's just his make-up." "B camera." "Action!" "The Pandorica is ready." "Ready for what?" "DALEK:" "Ready for you." "seeing all the monsters together." "my goodness!" "Seal the Pandorica." "No!" "Please!" "The whole universe will never have existed." "listen to me!" "Cut!" "The alien coalition has won." "the Doctor's fate looks sealed." "it's a trek up the Trefil Mountains" "Stonehenge." "Karen and Alex have to take a back seat and let three lookalike stunt riders take up the reins." "I loved filming the horses - it made the whole thing more epic." "We wanted to give it this big adventure feel." "the Doctor and Amy riding their horses along mainly because you can't have the real actors actually riding the horses." "and stunt doubles never look like they just look like people in wigs. and tried to make those as dramatic and impressive as possible." "The trick of it really is to make sure that there's enough energy in the shot to take your eye away that they aren't really Matt and Karen riding those horses." "MUSIC:" "GALLOPING HOME was quite a difficult thing to do." "the time of Stonehenge and the Romans." "Obviously we didn't want any pylons or cottages or any buildings in the background at all. it's time for the actors to mount up and face a few hurdles of their own." "and made them do sort of horsy positions." "shakin' that ass shakin that ass shakin that ass..." "It kills your thighs! and how the horse rolls." "It doesn't just go like that." "I had to pretend to be riding a horse on this seat on the back of a truck." "And then they drove the truck and I just had pretend that I was on the horse." "Toby kind of demonstrated the bouncing action that he wanted me to do." "brrrm-ba-dum. as if you're kind of on a mission." "and then another one where" "I wasn't quite in control because I don't think Amy has ever ridden." "shakin' that ass shaking that ass" "# I see you baby... #" "That's possibly one of the strangest things I've ever done." "absolutely ridiculous!" "I'll give him that." "what a funny little gesture." "He probably worked harder than Alex and I." "It's a little bit undignified." "I didn't realise how undignified so I'm quite glad I went first. and it looked like they were riding horses." "I'm puffed out. like this." "I feel a bit of a berk doing it." "It's a shame we couldn't ride a proper horse." "you see?" "I'm going to go and keel over in the mud or something." "come on!" "Hya!" "Hya!" "Hya! but one of the biggest logistical and budgetary issues was the whole thing about it being set in Stonehenge." "This episode has to say "Big" at every turn. we're really going mad with this one." "If there's going to be an ancient monument that marks the place where the last of the Time Lords what other one do you have in the whole world except Stonehenge?" "It has to be Stonehenge." "has cemented itself as one of the most important prehistoric monuments in Britain. it's thought to have taken 30 million man hours to build." "Historians have left no stone unturned trying to find out why it was built." "but range from astronomy to human sacrifice." "it's also a Mecca for large groups of people. the sun stubbornly hidden behind cloud." "But eventually she made her entrance." "000 people watched." "everyone for the atmosphere." "Today's druids believe they're keeping these ancient rituals alive. and the beginning of summer." "It's a time of celebration. roped off to members of the public to preserve them. 000 years ago." "and they have lots to film." "Stonehenge!" "It feels quite a privilege to be in here." "What a privilege to be there." "because we were filming on a night shoot." "And they lit it all up." "It looked amazing." "and they're kind of really sacred." "that was cool." "It was a challenge." "Confidential?" "flashes and all sorts." "These are OLD." "You weren't allowed to touch the stones." "B camera only." "And action!" "One of the things that we had to be very careful about because Stonehenge is a World Heritage Site." "and we're a great clobbering film crew." "You have to be very careful with it." "We realised in the budget we could only afford to go to Stonehenge for one night." "I've got one night there." "if I can say to here it is." "Action! I can dress Margam Park to look like Stonehenge." "We shot all the way through the night." "We did a lot of the establishing shots of it." "I think we were pretty lucky to get away with shooting there." "this was the episode that the Doctor goes to Stonehenge and finds out what it's there for." "The Underhenge." "Cut there." "Brollies back in. filming against the ancient monument presented other challenges." "so they're clear." "Beyond the lights." "'We've obviously had to adhere to a lot of rules and restrictions." "Things like not being able to take heavy equipment inside." "We've had to make sure that all our lighting is done from which would have been on towers and cherry-pickers." "You can understand why." "Probably the biggest one for us was having to shoot it when it's not open which is a day scene." "and the only daylight is between 8 and 9 o'clock." "Action!" "very good." "And cut there." "Thank you." "which is tough going." "We had 45 minutes to shoot a daylight scene at Stonehenge. or two hours to shoot a three-minute scene." "We had to do it in 45 minutes." "# Gentle lad lies with me" "# Sleep in your eyes in the morning" "# His eyes are still with me... #" "After a complicated night shoot and with only 45 minutes of daylight all the crew can do is sit back and wait for the sun to rise." "# Sleepy tunes roll through my head" "# As I roll out of bed to discover the day... #" "sorry to call it." "We're kicked out of here...hour." "we just sort of ran at it." "Action!" "We rehearsed it while it was still night." "As soon as it got to daytime we sent the steadicam and the actors in." "We just shot and shot and shot until it got very tense." "I'm picking up particles everywhere." "Energy weapons discharged on this site." "If the Pandorica is here it contains the mightiest ray in history." "half the galaxy would want a piece of that." "Maybe even fight over it." "We need to get down there." "So it's time up at the rock face. the crew head back to Wales to build a lighter version of the monument." "Cut there." "we could get away with seeing much less of Stonehenge." "we went to Margam Park." "So we went from Stonehenge to Foamhenge!" "That's where we shot for four days through the night just to complete the scenes." "The conditions we had to shoot in were diabolical." "he couldn't even hear himself speak." "WIND HOWLS I can't hear ya!" "Go from when you just stood on the stone." "Eh?" "the rain was coming down." "it looked fantastic." "We've got to go." "Turning over." "B camera." "everyone looking up at the sky." "Action!" "dropped it." "Stonehenge!" "That whole sequence for me was all about him looking like he was in Wembley Stadium." "everyone..." "There were all these lights on him and he's a real hero." "you're all whizzing about." "It's really very distracting." "Could you all just stay still a minute? so it's a very heroic moment." "I am... talking!" "He didn't have any weapons." "It's the only scene in the episode where the Doctor's got the upper hand." "Who's got the Pandorica?" "who's coming to take it from me?" "He lays down the law to the aliens." "pop-star kind of moment for the Doctor." "If you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship with all your silly little guns just remember who's standing in your way. and then... do the smart thing." "Let somebody else try first." "moving around to sort of mimic the idea of the spaceship lights." "That'll keep them squabbling for half an hour." "Romans. it's time to find out what exactly lies beneath." "Welcome... to the Underhenge." "One of my favourite moments of Doctor Who nonsense slide aside one of the stones there's an Underhenge and all the stones going down underneath." "but who cares?" "There is now." "The Underhenge is my favourite set so far. which was underneath Stonehenge. so it actually felt wet down there." "It felt sort of dank with cobwebs and things like that." "I think it actually said in the script that the chamber was like something from Indiana Jones." "It's so cool." "It is like Indiana Jones. of discovering a temple or an artefact underneath the ground." "A place of worship where it hasn't been touched for thousands of years." "It was 360." "Everywhere you looked was this set. which actually came through the ground." "kind of haunting space." "and cobwebs. the webs..." "The reveal of the huge Pandorica box." "So we had this chamber that's very reminiscent of something from Indiana Jones would seem sort of magical or full of wonder." "which is from Raiders Of The Lost Ark." "B camera." "Playback." "Action." "Matt's face as he's opening the doors really summed it up for me. we're really discovering something here"." "was a really cool experience." "He was really into playback... ..which is playing music during a scene." "Lighting flambeaux." "Playback." "Action." "I think it's really useful." "EERIE MUSIC PLAYS" "It was all about atmosphere." "It really gives you a kind of ghostly or haunted sort of feel and makes you move in a different way." "RIVER:" "More than just a fairy tale." "The way I liked to increase that feeling was to play music." "I wanted to make sure that they moved in a way that was going to cut well when I got to the edit. and it moves at a very particular pace. the way that they move into the space." "It's all about awe and they're all looking with wonder." "There was a goblin or or warrior - soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. you never hear the kind of music that's playing along." "So you just do things very quickly. that could have been more of a moment." "That could have been more exciting and slower." "It's all about awe." "The most feared being in all the cosmos." "No-one could stop it or harm it or reason with it." "One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world. to make sure I got all those moments." "it's amazing just how music can affect someone." "How did it end up in there?" "You know fairy-tales." "A good wizard tricked it." "I hate good wizards in fairy-tales." "They always turn out to be him." "then?" "what?" "with all the worst things in the world in it." "One of the technical problems of it was how we were going to light their faces when they were down there because they're underground and you can't see anything." "The Pandorica." "Well done." "Cut there." "I came up with the idea of them having - again from Indiana Jones - flambeaux or flaming torches. atmospheric lighting was added by director of photography Stephan Pehrsson." "It's a challenge to light a big space and what we came up with was there was going to be these torches all around the space." "Those give us a nice sort of flame effect." "so we have an ambience of blue light and then we just fill it in with nice warm light around the characters." "who is our DOP - me and him go back a long way." "We went to film school together. and then I used these spring balls over here - mirror spring balls - and we gel them up with orange gel so they look a bit like flame effect on people's faces it looks like they're lit by torches." "we wanted to try and have a bit more of you know - a really sort of impressive experience." "the heat on set is rising." "as she tries to get to grips with the flames and a set made of wood." "The great fear of using these flaming torches was Matt - he's a very energetic actor." "He flies about the place and you don't know where he's going to go." "the real problem was Karen." "She was quite nervous at first." "What am I doing with this?" kind of thing." "She's just petrified of these flaming torches." "She couldn't relax with them at all." "Action." "as far as I know." "But Vincent's painting... please." "sort of... they're all gas fed." "Am I actually really lighting it? with a gel to create that fire." "Action." "So what's this got to do with the TARDIS?" "as far as I know..." "Whoo!" "Sorry." "OK." "OK." "It is really big!" "hold it from there." "Everybody ready." "On this side." "This way?" "lovely." "Camera." "And action." "as far as I know." "the TARDIS was exploding." "Is that going to happen?" "One problem at a time." "There's force-field technology inside this box." "If I can enhance the signal... Amy can put them to good use as she faces an even deadlier threat. and she's backing away to go towards this door. waving it in front of him." "she was like a fire eater." "I really wanted to work with the Cyberman because they're quite a famous Doctor Who monster and I hadn't met one yet." "The Cyberhead sequence was one of the biggest technical challenges we had for the whole episode." "SHE SCREAMS" "Two great scary moments." "One was that bit where you reveal the skull." "SHE SCREAMS" "that's a classic Doctor Who moment." "it's also quite funny." "You've killed it - well done." "Yes!" "How is this going to get any worse?" "I did this whole fight sequence..." "CYBERMAN:" "You will be assimilated." "A whole fully-formed Cyberman turns up and starts coming towards her. it goes on and on." "it goes quiet again." "She gets very close to the door and you just know something's going to happen." "Then that knife blade just goes... straight through the door." "It was quite a difficult thing to mount." "We kind of had to break it up into lots of little bits because it's quite a complicated sequence." "so we could get him inside the suit. and this way you could just sort of put some wires that are coming out. a headless body comes lumbering out." "We shot that originally with the head in the foreground and you just see the feet arrive." "And you tilt up to reveal the headless shoulders." "I saw that shot and it just felt where the real joy of seeing a headless Cyberman and actually get that sense of headless wandering." "Action! that guy wasn't available. kind of walking towards us without a head and an arm... so we may as well paint out the arm." "and we just redid that moment." "it's this one here." "I never saw you actually walk up without your head." "Right." "You're trudging..." "And this is..." "So we're repeating this shot. to complete this dramatic effects scene." "and action." "# I am the robot I am the robot in your town. #" "CLANKING FOOTSTEPS" "the final shot is complete." "'It was a hairy moment when we thought we weren't going to be able to do it again.'" "I think it's really great. the special effects team step in to help SHOOT the next scene." "The Cyberarm is firing at the Doctor and Amy." "Where's the camera going to be?" "yeah." "all right?" "as though the arm's shooting lasers at different parts of the set." "Explosion!" "get down!" "Cut there." "Cut there!" "of using pyrotechnics really." "Toby?" "Yo." "Just come and have a little look at what the effect's going to be." "We thought we'd test it on the other side of the box." "I see." "Just for this test." "I actually fire these little pellets." "It doesn't leave a mark?" "No." "So what bounces off the thing?" "it sparks." "Is that from the planet Zarcania?" "and then it just bounces off...?" "it shatters." "It dissipates." "Wow!" "That's clever." "safely." "Oops!" "Hello!" "This is the air bottle here and then I just put in the balls of zirconium inside here." "loads and loads of balls in there." "it's just point and shoot." "A camera." "And...action." "Sorry!" "I'm a target." "AMY SCREAMS" "Ooh!" "What is that?" "Cyberarm - arm of a Cyberman." "Belongs to the head we found upstairs." "And what's a Cyberman?" "Karen's not afraid to scream." "I need to get behind it." "Could you draw its fire?" "She lets rip." "SHE SCREAMS AND WAILS" "Brilliant." "and I want the same again." "But it's not only the Cyberman that has made a return." "Rory has found his way back to reality with the hope of finding a way back into Amy's heart." "but it ends in a brilliantly romantic moment having been dead." "Amy." "whoa..." "The great thing about our episode is that we get to bring him back." "I'm back!" "I didn't die." "but you died." "Yeah..." "One second he's basically almost at the centre of the Earth and then he's dead..." "Doctor!" "Agh!" "Ohh!" "Rory!" "'I get sucked into a crack in time...' you'll never have been born." "It will erase every moment of your existence." "You will never have lived at all..." "at all...at all... '..which means that I never existed...'" "How can you be here?" "Well..." "I don't know." "But I wake up as a Roman soldier." "I died and turned into a Roman." "It's very distracting." "I couldn't really believe it.'" "It's a nice way to tie everything up so it's nice to have him back." "One of the most complex things to do in this episode was to bring back but never existed in the first place." "Amy can't remember who...who he is." "She doesn't know that Rory ever existed. he's a construct of Amy's memories. but she doesn't remember him." "yeah?" "The one that did the swordy thing?" "Yeah... nice swording." "No problem." "come back to life and her not remember him is pretty tragic." "Almost as tragic as having to kill your one true love." "And turning over... take camera mark." "B camera." "And...action." "no!" "No!" "No!" "no!" "No-o-o-o!" "NO-O-O-O!" "excellent work." "Eurgh!" "MUD SLOSHES" "Ooh!" "Here we are in one of the more glamorous locations." "It's really late." "It's two in the morning." "Can you tell?" "We've forgotten how to speak." "Where are we?" "We're near Swansea." "Oh." "and it plays the final part as the location for Rory and Amy's unexpected farewell. because it was absolutely freezing." "a few people keeping warm here - is that good?" "Chatting. so there was just kind of this pool of mud." "We're just basically rolling in mud in the middle of the night. but we just sort of had to go for it and try and shut that out..." "and concentrate." "and turn..." "and go that way." "And one and two!" "the heavens opened." "It's only gone and started raining!" "# Why does it always rain on me?" "# Even when the sun is shining" "# I can't avoid the lightning where did the blue sky go?" "# Why is it raining so?" "# It's so cold" "# Why does it always rain on me-e-e-e?" "# Why does it always rain on... #" "Amy and Rory had to do their sort of big romantic scene there in a mud bath." "Have a look at the mud!" "It's so muddy!" "they're in a sort of porridge bowl of mud." "and..." "B camera." "Are you OK?" "Did the Doctor send you?" "he's just fusses. and then something terrible happens at the end. are tragedies." "What's your name?" "I'm Rory." "Roranicus(?" ") Ha!" "' it's kind of the biggest moment for Amy of the whole series." "You're crying?" "'It was an incredibly emotional scene.' it's like I'm happy." "SHE LAUGHS" "Why am I happy?" "she realises who he is." "She starts to remember." "You're crying because you remember me!" "but when he gets the call..." "And action!" "Off you go." "Chatting to each other..." "and...stop." "TOBY:" "What's fantastic about Steven's writing is a boyfriend trying to remind a girlfriend who's forgotten him." "My Auton status gets utilised and it's just at the point where Amy starts remembering me." "I'm Rory." "Williams." "my boyfriend!" "There's a sort of echo of him inside her mind." "You've got to run." "I can't hold on." "I'm going..." "You are Rory Williams and you aren't going anywhere ever again." "This Auton duplicate has taken on so much of the original Rory that it starts to think of itself as Rory." "It starts to be Rory. 'for his programming to overwhelm him...'" "You remember." "This is you." "You are staying..." "There is that battle there that's almost won." "They both think that they've succeeded and then at the last moment..." "'He can't help it - his body betrays him and he shoots her.' and he's just killed her." "For Amy to die in the arms of the man who has impossibly returned to her... it was like sort of Romeo and Juliet." "it was sort of THE moment of the episode for me.' big tragedy." "How does it get worse than that?" "That's good." "Let her flop back." "INDISTINCT INSTRUCTIONS and the Doctor's trapped in the Pandorica under Stonehenge." "What does the series finale have in store?" "Episode 13 is..." "..the most insane series climax." "It's kind of where things really explode." "I can't wait to find out what else happens." "It's very exciting." "Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd" "E-mail subtitling@bbc.co.uk"
