"Trust me." "I'm the Doctor." "Geronimo!" "The Doctor will see you now!" "Now I've done it." "No, no, no, no, no, no!" "He is, isn't he?" "He's the Doctor!" "Who the man?" "So I'm never saying that again." "Fine." "Right!" "Talk to me!" "All the experts in the world, panicking at once, and do you know what they need?" "Me." "Ooh!" "Hello." "Am I late?" "Everything's going to be fine." "Run." "Hello." "I'm the Doctor." "It's September 2009 and at a secret location in South Wales, the new Doctor begins his journey." "Uh, right, we're going to, uh..." "Hello, everyone!" "Hey, everyone rush to their chairs and look embarrassed, we're about to start." "The most scrutinised hour of our television lives ever, this one." "Just so you feel relaxed, don't feel relaxed." "It's going to be brilliant but my God, let's kill them with this one." "We'll all go round the table and say our names, just because I never tire of saying, "I'm Steven Moffat" ""and I'm the executive producer and head writer of Doctor Who. "" "I'm Matt." "I play the Doctor." "I'm Karen, I'm playing Amy." "I'm Caitlin, I'm playing Amelia." ""Amelia's garden." "Panning round a fairly big garden," ""a bit neglected, overgrown, creepy, there's an old battered garden shed." ""Then Amelia's house, like the garden, it's old, a bit run down," ""ordinary, but a bit spooky. "" ""Dear Santa, thank you for Linda the fish, dolls and pencils. "" "It's Easter and I so hope I don't wake you, but honest, it is an emergency." "Amelia is the first human being that he sees in his new regenerated form, which I think is quite significant, 'cause to him it's this strange, alien life form." "And he meets her, and she's in her garden in her nightie with a torch." ""Then a hand gripping on the edge of the base," ""then another hand, and then a face, the Doctor." ""His hair is soaking wet, his eyes are wild and dancing," ""he's looking right at Amelia. "" "Can I have an apple?" ""All I can think about, apples." "I love apples." ""Maybe I'm having a craving." ""Oh, that's new." "Never had cravings before. "" "The new Doctor's essentially the same man that he has been for all the previous 906 years of his life." "There's no such thing as the 11 th Doctor." "There's one Doctor with 11 faces." "He is the same man." "You all right, mister?" "No, I'm fine." "It's okay." "This is all perfectly..." "Who are you?" "I don't know yet." "I'm still cooking." "Now, when you put on a different set of clothes, a different pair of shoes, you feel very different." "Imagine what having a different body does to you." "But it is the continuing story of the same man with a different face." "I think he's going to look better, apparently." " Yeah." " If I give it a good project that way." "I mean, I'm..." "You know, I won't..." "I'll try to..." "What I'll do is I'll probably do a lean forward as well." " Yeah." " And he'll be..." "Are we going to get that?" "It's like being born again." "It's like, you know, everything you see is a new colour, a new taste, a new smell." "Apples, yogurts, all the rest of it." "What is that?" "You know." "And action." "If you're a doctor, why does your box say "police"?" " Go again from the top, okay?" " Keep rolling!" "I need practice on that bad boy." "Another apple!" "Keep running." "Don't break it up, please." "B camera." "And action." "If you're a doctor, why does your box say "police"?" "Keep running!" "Another apple, please!" "There's a lack of kind of cynicism there that happens, I think, when we're adults, and it's like children see things and they accept them and they try them and spit them out." " That's disgusting." "What is that?" " An apple." "Apples are rubbish." "I hate apples." "You said you loved them." "No, no, no, I love yogurt." "Yogurt's my favourite." "Give me yogurt." "I hate yogurt." "It's just stuff with bits in." "You said it was your favourite." "New mouth, new rules." "It's like eating after cleaning your teeth, everything tastes..." "It's all kind of written in that he's trying to get to know his body and everything, but hopefully, kind of physically, it's all quite kind of sporadic and weird, and he's hitting himself" "and not really knowing how to react to this new body." "But also, his personality's regenerating as well." " What's wrong with you?" " Wrong with me?" "It's not my fault." "Why can't you give me any decent food?" "You're Scottish." "Fry something." "Okay, cut there." "That was good." "What made Matt stand out, surprisingly enough, in a way, 'cause he'd never seen the show, was that he was tonally perfect from the off." "He just got what sort of part it is, he got the lightness, the fun, the nuttiness of it, just instantly." "It was just so obvious." "It was such an obvious choice." "I found out that I got the role..." "I'd come out of an audition and I was in Aldgate, I think, and it was for a pilot sitcom, and my agent rang me and said, "I think we'd better have a chat. "" "And I said, "Okay." "Have I not got it?"" "He said, "No. "" "I said, "Right, well, have I got it?"" "He said, "I think we'd better meet for a cup of tea. "" "I said, "Michael, have I got it?" He said, "Yes. "" "And I seem to remember being, like, being very kind of disbelieving." ""No, no, no," sort of pacing up and down this cobbled street in Aldgate." "I'd like to go back, actually." "It'd probably do something to my memory." "And I was just..." "I mean, you know, ecstatic." "This time around, being the new Doctor means getting your hands on a brand new Tardis." "Okay, what have you got for me this time?" "Look at you." "I like to think the Tardis goes on forever in lots of scary, strange ways." "So that was the idea, let's get an even-bigger-on-the-inside Tardis and let's just go mad with it." "The biggest change of this Tardis is that we've really pimped it up." "Hello, Confidential." "I'm here with Ed Thomas, the man who designs the Tardis, and we're going to go have a look round and he's going to show me how to fly it," " and what is what." " Let's go!" "So, enter!" "This is the new Tardis." "So this is where I do my correspondence." "That's right." "We've got all sorts of sections." "There are diagnostic areas, there are flying areas." "Each one has a different purpose." "And then we've got the main time rotor in the middle, which is blown glass." "We searched high and low to find somebody that could blow us the glass to the scale they did, and these chaps in Bristol pulled it off for us." "I mean, the biggest thing that we've changed is the scale." " You know, it's..." " Yeah, I know." " It's almost twice as big." " It's just enormous." "And it varies off in all directions." "You probably can't see, but look." "Am I right in saying that if you walk up there, you end up over there?" "You do." "It's very clever." "It's all done with mirrors." "Yeah." "And in Tardis time." "And look, there's a Morse Code thing." "Look." "Yeah." "Oh, yeah." "There's all these kind of foot pedals as well, which are just incredible." "And there's so much detail in it." "Oh, a new one." "Lovely." "So, shall we..." "Do you want to have a stroll around some of the staircases and see underneath, maybe?" " Absolutely." "Let's do that." " Let's go." " And that is actually liquid?" " That is liquid, yeah." " Can I touch it?" " You can." "Oh, and is that..." "It's not just water?" "It's water with a bit of food colouring in it, to make it look like oil." "And so what's this, then?" "Is that..." "So that's a protective sheath over the heart of the Tardis, yeah, so underneath there is what literally drives it." "It kind of feels like the most brilliant den in the world." "Hmm, yeah." "I hope you like it, and I hope you have many hundreds of years' time travel in it." "It is pretty much the most thrilling thing to come in to every day." "It's like a giant playground." "It is, truly." "It's thrilling." "And it's..." "I feel very privileged to have such a Tardis." "With the Tardis looking that good, the Doctor's got to follow suit." "What's in here?" "I'm saving the world, I need a decent shirt." "To hell with the raggedy!" "Time to put on a show." "I think that Matt's look as the Doctor is bang on." "I really do," "I think it's perfect." "It's this kind of old, rusticky, professor-type look, but a mad professor with the bowtie and everything, and it's pretty eccentric, and it just suits the way he plays the Doctor as well." "And I just think he looks really at home in the costume and it really suits the way he looks and moves and everything." "So, my costume." "Bowtie." "I've got a Tardis blue one as well." "Braces." "That are coming off." "I'lljust reapply them." "And then we've got this lovely tweed jacket." "A watch." "It doesn't actually work but, you know, I think the idea is that the Doctor can sort of go to Venice or Paris, wherever, and just tap it once or twice." "Uh, boots." "If you want to pan..." "I'll pan up." "And me jeans, and yeah, I've sort of already got the bottom of this and I think it sort of manages a bit of..." "Oh, God, do I say this?" "A bit of Indiana Jones and a bit of a professor and a bit of the explorer and..." "Yeah, I mean, it's..." "I think it has to feel like an extension of your personality." "And this does for me." "So this was a good idea?" "They were leaving." "Yeah, leaving is good." "Staying away is better." "There are a couple of moments in there where we see him sort of firing on all cylinders as the Doctor." "There's the moment, of course, where he's on the rooftop with the Atraxi and he's just picked his costume." "Well?" "Come on, then!" "The Doctor will see you now!" "I think the moment when he clicks into place is finally putting his clothes on, getting the bowtie on, and being in his outfit." "Uh, hmm..." "What do you think?" "That's when he's arrived." "That's when he's back on form." "That's when he's properly there." "Hello." "I'm the Doctor."
