"Deep underground in the city of the Silurians, things are really starting to hot up for the Doctor." "And action." "If you're going to be in Doctor Who you want explosions and ray guns." "We followactors Matt Smith and Karen Gillan on a whistle-stop tour of the UK and discover how much work goes into promoting the new series." "We are on the Doctor Who tour bus!" " Whoo!" " We are on tour!" "From the Scottish Highlands to the Silurian city," "Doctor Who Confidential takes you deeper into the thick of the action." "Got to dash." "H urry up!" "In the underground Silurian city, things are about to reach an explosive climax." "Let us go back." "And you promise to never come to the surface ever again." "We'll walk away, leave you alone." "Execute her!" "Everybody back to the lab." "Run!" "Execute all the apes!" "This is a deadly weapon." "Stay back!" "Lights are still on, okay?" "You take the position, as before, like this." "Today is basically a big stand-off between the Doctor and the Silurian creatures." "And so it's a big battle that commences." "So the Doctor is sonicking and blowing up the heat ray guns." "I did a lot of ducking and rolling and..." "And they were very keen that the Sonic was never a weapon." "So I couldn't point it that way, it had to be pointed that way." "So I was merely repelling the weapons as opposed to sort of..." "And fire gun!" "It's always fun to see the Sonic blowing stuff up, I think." "Cut." "Each one of the weapons has got a concealed firing system inside with a very small, little..." "We call them zets, they create little sparks, look like ricochets." "So inside there's a little button that sparks." "It was good, I got to run around and fire ray guns and explosions." "If you're going to be in Doctor Who you want explosions and ray guns." "Leaving behind the Doctor's Silurian adventures, let's take a closer look at one of the ambitious ways the Doctor Who team promoted the new series." "We are going on the Doctor's maiden voyage, the 11 th Doctor's maiden voyage." "We had a discussion with Piers Wenger, how we're going to launch the new series of Doctor Who." "And we were all sitting round, we were going to do a London launch, we were gonna do something in Cardiff." "And Piers came up with the tour, where we go out to different communities and we reach places and people that we wouldn't necessarily normally go to." "We've got an amazing team working on this." "We've got Edward Russell." "They're just grabbing coffee and they'll be along in about five minutes." "So let's get in there." "We've got Ian Gruchfield, who's overall manager working with me on this." "And you've got Luke and Carrie, they are assigned to Matt and Karen at all times and they're going to deal with all the press to make that happen." "We've got Health and Safety officers Les and Ann." "How are we?" "Hope I haven't missed anybody out." "Morning, morning, morning, morning." "There we are." "This is surreal." "Yeah, closest we'll get to rock star status, right?" "Yes." "Whoo!" " Doctor Who tour bus!" "Doctor Who!" "This is where the cool kids hang out at the back." "That toilet's going to get awful, I know it is." "That's what happens, isn't it?" "Oh, cool!" "And they're off." "It's the first photo opportunity of the tour, at Belfast's historic Town Hall." "Over at the Queen's Film Theatre, the team are preparing the venue for the screening." "I wonder what kind of reception Matt and Karen will get?" "When Matt and Karen walked in there, just hearing all the screaming and the look on their faces, so excited." "It's just wonderful, it's really magical." "That's why we're doing it, really, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Yes, and for us this is the first time round in the first year we've been involved in Doctor Who, and it's the first time we've really, really seen the power that it has over its audience and their love of it." "Will you please give a massive Belfast welcome for Karen Gillan and Matt Smith, Amy Pond and the Doctor!" "Hello!" "How are you?" "Thank you for making us so welcome, Belfast." "You've been very warming and welcoming." "Well, listen, I hope you enjoy episode one of the new Doctor Who." "And we'll see you after the episode." "Enjoy!" " Enjoy it!" "All right, take care." "Take care of yourself." "Ready to go." "A seven-hour drive later, and the team finally arrive in Karen's hometown of Inverness." "It's an early start and the team have another packed day ahead of them." "Excited fans soon begin to fill the Eden Centre." "Anybody waiting?" "Cyberman!" "Hey, Confidential." "How are we doing?" "We're in Inverness!" "Whoo!" "Doctor Who!" "We're about to go and say hello and introduce the first episode." "And we'll probably do a little dance like this." "That's basically it." "They'll pay you money if you're good." "Three!" "Two!" "One!" "It's nice to be home." "It's really lovely to see so many familiar faces, family, friends and old teachers." "So thanks for turning up." "The next stop is Sunderland." "Back on the bus, the team settle down for the 300-mile drive." "We are on the Doctor Who tour bus!" " Whoo!" " We are on tour!" "How many times do you get to do that in your life?" "Six long hours later, they arrive for the next screening." "Sunderland." "So now we're at Sunderland University, we've just arrived." "And here we go again for another showing of it." "Looking forward to seeing the episode?" "Let's welcome the 11 th Doctor and his brand new assistant." "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Matt and..." "Come on, start clapping!" "Start screaming!" "Matt and Karen!" "Hello, everyone." "How are we?" "Good?" "All right?" "Yeah, we're looking forward to the new episode." "So we're going to show you episode one." "And we hope you enjoy it." "Yeah." "Whoo!" "Okay." "Bye, guys!" "Bye, everyone!" "With day two behind them, the team make their way down to Salford." "It's the third day ofthe Doctor Who tour and the crowds are going to love what the team have in store." "Doctor Who!" "Hello, hello, hello." "We are going to show you episode one." "Enjoy it, gang." "Bye, everyone!" "The final screening venue has a special significance for one member of the team." "We're going to my old school, which is quite nerve-wracking in a weird way." "All the other places I've just rocked up because no one really knows me." "But everyone knows me there." "And we've had a great tour, so, hopefully, we'll finish with a flourish, as it were." "And as Matt and Karen make their way to the school's central hall, they received the biggest reception yet." "Hello!" "Look at this school." "It's changed!" "This is where I started treading the boards." "Take it away, boys and girls." "So clever, Confidential." "You getting this?" "Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Whoo!" "Well, I need a deep breath." "That was incredible." "Well done." "It was brilliant." "So, Northampton, thank you for the wonderful welcome." "It was truly..." "I feel overwhelmed." "It is wonderful to be back in this room where I started." "I did The Pirates of Penzance." "I sang rather terribly." "It was quite awful, but there we are." "Anyway, today you're seeing episode one." "It's not quite finished, but I hope you enjoy it." "We've worked very hard and it's all for people like you." "So thank you for the wonderful welcome, I truly feel overwhelmed." "Enjoy it." "Before leaving Northampton, it's time for some press interviews." "But Karen has her eye on something else." "Hello." "Okay." "So Matt's doing an interview at the moment so I'm going to pap him." "Right." "Here I go, wish me luck." "I just got two pictures." "That's two grand." "And now you just act natural." "So after three days and 900 miles travelled, thedoctor Who tour comes to an end." "For both the team on the bus and the children at each venue, this will be an event to remember for a very long time to come."
