"things are really starting to hot up for the Doctor." "And action! you want explosions and ray guns." "We follow actors 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." "Woo!" "We are on tour! Doctor Who Confidential takes you deeper into the thick of the action." "hurry up!" "Looking for heat signature anomalies." "how can all this be here?" "these plants?" "Must be getting closer to the centre of the city." "Episode eight is finished - they've discovered the Silurian city." "probably housing around a dozen homo reptilia?" "Maybe less." "One small tribe?" "Yes." "Maybe a dozen?" "Ah..." "Maybe more than a dozen." "Maybe more like an entire civilisation." "Episode nine is very much journey to the city of the Silurians." "Finding out more about that race." "I think is where the story really kicks off into action." "building up it kind of explodes in a way." "Camera mark." "Action!" "Are you sure this is the best way to enter?" "definitely." "Always the best way." "the Doctor has descended into the spectacular Silurian city." "his judgment seems a little clouded." "Doctor..." "We're not hostile." "We're not armed." "We're here in peace." "really." "Yes and cough down and stuff." "HE COUGHS" "We specifically designed these Silurian guns that would fire the gas pumping CO2 through." "OK?" "Cool." "and now"!" "And then we've got to pretend and...you know... as it were." "go with their bodies and waist and just aim it on to the floor." "NEVER at their face." "OK." "we'll turn it off." "Matt." "And...action!" "we're not armed." "We're here in peace." "Cut." "Hopefully it looks like we're being crazily gassed by mad lizards. let's take a closer look at one of the ambitious ways the Doctor Who team promoted the new series." "the 11th Doctor's maiden voyage." "We had a discussion with Piers Wenger about how we were going to launch the new series of Doctor Who. we're going to 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." "We've got Edward Russell..." "They're just grabbing coffee and they'll be along in about five minutes." "So...getting there." "We've got Ian Gruchfield who's overall manager working with me on this and you've got Luke and Kerry." "They're assigned to Matt and Karen at all times and they're going to deal with all the press." "Les and Anne." "How are we?" "I hope I haven't missed anybody out!" "morning!" "There we are." "This is surreal." "Yes." "Closest we'll get to rock star status." "Right?" "Yes." "We're starting here in Belfast." "Salford and finish in Northampton in Matt's old school." "Woo!" "I've accounted for every single minute of every day." "My job in the next three days is to get everyone at the right place at the right time." "we will have disappointed children." "We don't want that. but I think we're going to get there." "We will get there!" "Woo!" "Doctor Who tour bus!" "Doctor Who!" "Is this where the cool kids hang out?" "I know it is." "isn't it?" "cool!" "And they're off." "It's the first photo opportunity of the tour at Belfast's historic town hall. they stopped off at BBC Northern Ireland for some radio interviews." "You're having a good impact on the young people of Northern Ireland already." "could you do Good Morning Ulster please?" "'We've never seen Grace get up so quickly.'" "Ulster." "Grace." "Just did our first radio interview the of the day." "Went well." "Woo!" "but we're 25 minutes ahead of schedule." "Fantastic." "We can actually sit down for five minutes. 25 minutes." "the team are preparing the venue for the screening." "I wonder what kind of reception Matt and Karen will get?" "ALL:" "Doctor Who!" "man." "look at that." "SCREAMING" "Welcome to this edition of Confidential." "We are at the first tour date of the Doctor Who screenings in Belfast." "Sure." "You're quite good." "She's quite good. hearing all the screaming and the excited look on their faces." "it's really magical." "isn't it?" "Yes." "For us this is the first time round." "This is the first year we've been involved in Doctor Who and it's the first time we can really see 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." "CHEERING" "Belfast." "You've been very warming and welcoming." "I hope you enjoy episode one of the new Doctor Who." "so think up some questions." "Yes." "And we'll see you after the episode." "Yes." "Enjoy!" "Enjoy it." "CHEERING" "Matt and Karen get on with some press interviews." "Wow!" "The kids have just watched it." "this is us presenting on Doctor Who Television." "Yes." "DWTV." "Are they going to like it?" "No idea." "Let's find out." "CHEERING" "Thank you very much." "guys?" "Did you like it?" "ALL:" "Yeah!" "Whoa!" "Cool!" "That's good." "That's who it's for." "We were very nervous about you guys seeing it because you are the guys that matter." "right there." "CHEERING stand up and..." "Give these guys a round of applause for that." "For the bow tie." "Yeah!" "What about that?" "!" "There's a future Doctor." "What's your name and what's your question?" "Charlie." "What do you want to ask?" "Where's your sonic screwdriver?" "Ah!" "Where's your sonic screwdriver?" "I've got it." "I should have brought it in to show you." "Charlie can show you his." "He's brought his with him." "please and thank Karen and Matt for coming today." "guys!" "take care." "Take care of yourself." "Ready to go!" "it's very exciting." "the team get a chance to try out their sea legs." "Come and look." "Bit of fresh air." "Brrr!" "I'm the captain." "You are." "Captain Karen." "Captain Gillan." "Wow." "That's incredible." "There's not actually something that actually steers the ship?" "I know that sounds stupid." "Just where Dan's standing there." "Wow." "That's it?" "That's the wheel?" "You imagine it to be so big...old school?" "like?" "look." "That's all..." "That's for the bow thrusters." "We're headed to bonny Scotland!" "Woo-hoo!" "but somewhere on the west coast." "HORN BLOWS" "THEY CHEER" "that's us." "A seven-hour drive later and the team finally arrive in Karen's home town of Inverness." "guys." "please." "Episode eight is set in a small Welsh mining village and now we go down to the fabulous underground city of the Silurians." "The crew brought together both sets and unusual locations to create the look of the stunning city." "The sets in episode nine are just amazing." "It was important that we had lots of different-looking sets." "We didn't just want a cave feel." "Back!" "Back!" "You could believe that was underground and it has sophistication and timelessness as well which was very important." "They're tropical and so perfectly suited to the story and the characters and everything." "I think we could probably follow Matt all the way round and then break here and pick that up as a separate on that shot." "we didn't just want a cave feel." "We also wanted that sense that they are a sophisticated race." "They are able to use the minerals they have underground." "They are able to use granite and rock and marble and crystals and all the things that they could find underground and utilise." "We worked at building that into our sets." "I think the script originally said that the city was bathed the heat of the Earth's core." "We had to give that impression." "That ambient heat." "So I did various tests with different colours." "I choose one that we felt was the right kind of feel to it." "But it also had to be the direction of the light as well. the lights were on the floor or in different places so it gave that different feel." "The ambient light came from a different place." "for instance." "We went again to the Temple of Peace in Cardiff." "lovely place." "Very gleaming." "This is our court!" "because as soon as you step into that set in the Temple of Peace and we put in the seating you're aware and you cannot escape the magnitude of that set." "The importance of it and of those scenes." "you're almost 50% there before you even begin because of what's around you." "wait!" "Rory!" "She's not speaking for us." "There's no need for this." "Name?" "Don't do this!" "Listen!" "we'll do it." "Amy!" "RORY!" "Fire!" "NO!" "We've been in caves and stuff in the studio for a while which are tiny massive room." "er...it's huge." "Action!" "Swansea's Plantasia and its array of tropical plants help create an underground Silurian jungle." "was brilliant!" "Set them all free!" "The chameleon was amazing." "I think I freaked him out a bit." "He was sort of looking at me with his one eye." "Chameleon." "That's my cousin." "I'm one of the family." "It was nice to be amongst all the plants with the pond and everything." "It made it really feel like that's where we live." "These creatures are surviving down underground for millennia." "they're going to need things growing down there in order to survive." "It's very important for us to have a sense of things growing and greenery down there." "that's the one. we should be able to hide it in there." "Plantasia was great because it allowed us create the world of the jungle going into the city. because it was a car park out there and street lights and everything." "So we had to be very careful of the angles we chose." "It was an ideal opportunity to create because we could hide small lamps in amongst the plants and just give that idea that the ambient light was seeping through the ground." "I really do not want to be executed down here." "I'm with you there." "it put a real blight on the day." "But day two of the tour is about to be anything but a downer." "It's an early start in Inverness and another packed day ahead." "Confidential." "how are you doing?" "We've got a huge day today." "are down by the loch having a photo-shoot with Caitlin who plays Amelia Pond." "her home town and Karen's home town." "Caitlin." "Are we both covered up?" "Hang on." "Look at us here now." "thanks." "Freezing!" "SHE LAUGHS" "can you stop looking cold." "THEY LAUGH that's great." "It's a massive day." "we go down to Sunderland and finish in Salford." "the team ensures that everything goes to plan." "like we did yesterday." "let's have a look at these." "You know the wristbands?" "Yes." "Can we start stripping them up now because they take quite a while to do?" "Excited fans soon begin to fill the Eden Centre." "Anybody waiting?" "A Cyberman!" "Very exciting for Caitlin because her class is here." "is in our class at school." "too." "We're in Inverness." "The home town of me." "Are you nervous?" "really nervous." "it's going to be great." "You should get off first." "you go." "Confidential." "How are you doing?" "We're in Inverness!" "Woo!" "trust me I'm a doctor trust me I'm a doctor" "I know What I'm doing" "I know What I'm doing... #" "because it's a homecoming for her and she saw lots of familiar faces in the crowd." "That was really nice." "Hello." "Long time no see." "How are you?" "It's really good to see you." "this would be a pretty cool way to kick off my Easter holidays." "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." "THEY SING DOCTOR WHO THEME TUNE" "That's basically it." "They are paying money for you guys..." "It's just so nice that we're here and..." "Can you not obscure my shot?" "This is the money right here." "It is." "It's the truth." "friends and old teachers." "Thanks for turning up." "the Doctor Who team are off to meet the local press." "It's got to change completely." "It's completely different a different programme." "he's also exactly the same as he's ever been since 1963." "The next stop is Sunderland." "looking out the snow is teeming down so I hope we get there." "guys." "the team settle down for the 300-mile drive to Sunderland." "We're on the Doctor Who tour bus." "Woo!" "We're on tour." "How exciting is that?" "Karen." "I've just woken up." "I know." "We're on the Doctor Who tour bus and we're travelling to Sunderland for the next screening." "And we have a Beth Willis who..." "We have a Beth Willis?" "we have a Beth Willis who is constantly working..." "Can we pan to Beth?" "That's the executive producer." "There she is." "It's completely non-stop." "but it's good fun." "We're 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." "is it third or fourth venue?" "to spice things up and make we've given Matt and Karen a challenge." "we've given them both a word that they have to sneak into their answers." "Matt's word is blueberries." "Karen's word is cats." "just arrived." "And here we go again for another showing of it." "Looking forward to seeing the episode?" "I'm going to go behind the camera for a minute and get some interviews." "What's been your favourite location we've visited so far?" "I thought the welcome we just got in Sunderland was pretty exciting." "oh no." "Here she is." "Hello-o-o." "Here comes trouble." "That's my Sunderland accent." "what's been your favourite... it's just not as interesting a face." "Let's welcome the 11th Doctor and his brand new assistant." "Matt and... start the clapping." "Matt and Karen." "everyone." "ALL:" "Hi!" "so we are going to show you Episode One." "And we hope you enjoy it." "Yeah." "guys." "CHEERING AND CLAPPING it's back inside for a question and answer session." "Once more for Matt and for Karen." "Come on." "So will Matt and Karen be able to slip in their secret words?" "there we are." "Let's go for it." "Do you like fishfingers and custard?" "does the Doctor like fish fingers and custard?" "it wasn't." "and little coconut cakes or something like that." "I had to eat about 12 of them." "It was good fun." "Is your character that crazy?" "bonkers." "Mad as a box of cats." "And we'll all bid the Doctor a good night and his assistant." "Thanks so much to Matt and Karen." "Thank you very much." "Karen forgot to say her word." "completely randomly." "everyone." "the team make their way down to Salford." "But how are things going for the Doctor and his friends back in the Silurian city?" "let's get your side." "this planet could achieve greatness." "They've almost reached a compromise and then it's all just kind of ruined." "Something's wrong." "Just at the moment where the Doctor thinks that he's got a peace they bring down Alaya's body because she's already been killed." "No." "We've got to face the truth that we've actually killed one so we've got no bargaining chips with them." "basically." "Don't do this." "Tell me you didn't do this. which is quite nerve-racking." "What did you do?" "I did it." "that Alaya was going to die and she was going to be killed by that was going to be the potential spark that could ignite the war." "That was going to be what went wrong." "I knew all through the story that Alaya would die and what what I wanted it to be was very much a story about people making mistakes under massive pressure." "they're better than this." "you tell people but you were so much less than the best of humanity." "Alaya is obviously murdered and Restac comes in to find that she's murdered. it's an eye for an eye and all that." "My sister. declare war." "This is an accidental conflict that is provoked by somebody trying to protect their family." "I thought her portrayal was actually heartbreaking." "This great moment where she looks at her sister dead and she just makes this sort of noise." "Ah-h-h!" "And it just really gets you there." "all bets are off." "kill everyone." "but that is the final straw." "It's the third day of the Dr Who tour and they arrive in Salford where the crowds are going to love what the team have in store." "# Everybody's gonna love today Gonna love today gonna love today... #" "Doctor Who!" "we're doing Salford and then this evening we are doing Matt's school in Northampton." "Do you want to stand over there were Simon is?" "One thing that everybody's enjoyed is the reception from the children." "Here we are." "CHEERING" "# Everybody's gonna love today Gonna love today" "# Anyway you want to Anyway you've got to" "# Love love me Love love me" "# Love love... #" "Here we go." "Here we go." "every day of the tour?" "Yeah." "It's my Doctor Who coat." "I realised this morning." "I'm sort of running out of clothes." "the fans are packing the auditorium and getting ready for the screening." "CHEERING gang." "Salford and Manchester have never seen anything like it." "We are trying to think big on the site. it's an enormous enterprise." "so we are thrilled." "It's hysterical in there." "the legend of Doctor Who lives on." "The final screening venue has a special significance for one member of the team." "we are in my home town of Northampton." "in a weird way." "I just rocked up because no-one really knows me." "But everyone knows me there." "yeah... as it were." "Today is going to be brilliant." "We are at Matt's school." "We have got 350 children all going to be here supporting Matt." "Mum." "and we really want this one to go well." "Hello!" "SCREAMING" "how are you?" "they receive the biggest reception yet." "CHEERING" "Hello!" "it's changed!" "wow!" "Matt took a trip down memory lane." "I've sat in this office." "And not been told off." "Yeah!" "treading the boards." "boys and girls." "THEY PLAY DOCTOR WHO THEME TUNE" "eh?" "Matt Smith and Karen Gillan!" "hello!" "I need a deep breath." "That was incredible." "it was brilliant." "thank you for the wonderful welcome." "It was truly..." "I feel overwhelmed." "where I started." "I did the Pirates of Penzance." "but there we are. and it is all for people like you." "I truly feel overwhelmed." "Enjoy it." "Matt gets a chance to show off other skills." "So where are we doing this?" "Do it on the pitch?" "I have not played football in ages." "Matt." "it is time for some more press interviews." "But Karen has her eye on something else." "so I'm going to pap him." "wish me luck." "(I just got two pictures." "(That's two grand." "(And now you just act natural.)" "# Today this could be the greatest day of our lives... # the Doctor Who tour comes to an end. this will be an event to remember for a very long time to come." "things are about to reach an explosive climax." "and do you promise to never come to the surface ever again?" "leave you alone." "Execute her!" "No!" "run." "Execute all the apes." "stay back!" "Today is 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." "Did a lot of ducking and rolling and choo-choo-choo." "And they were very keen that the sonic was never a weapon. as opposed to sort of..." "I think. like ricochets." "that sparks. exactly where to press the button." "very important that they do not fire it too early or at the wrong time." "making sure that they could fire it correctly." "and it's..." "It's like that." "I got to run around and fire ray guns and explosions." "you want explosions and ray guns." "Action." "Execute all the apes!" "Cut." "but that doesn't last for long." "I've got something." "What is it?" "the Doctor just can't resist finding out what is in the mysterious crack." "I don't know." "Which has disastrous consequences for Rory." "You!" "both of you." "You did this!" "Doctor!" "Rory!" "Ah!" "Agh!" "can you hear me? was fairly tragic." "We needed a big sacrifice." "It has been fun." "The Doctor has had a great time it is time for there to be a casualty on that TARDIS." "I can't die here." "Don't say that." "that they are going because they have seen themselves in their future." "I don't understand." "OK?" "We have to get him onto the TARDIS." "We were on the hill. so devastating. and I wanted to make it truthful and believable." "You're so beautiful." "I'm sorry." "help him. but even more so because it comes out of his own... and the crack ends up devouring him." "and disappear from all existence." "So that's the end of me." "but he is erased from time." "there is no getting you back." "I suppose." "not in reality." "Move away now." "I am not leaving him." "We have to help him." "we can't help him." "I'm not leaving him." "We have to." "No!" "I'm sorry." "Get off me!" "Sorry!" "Get off me! or have existed." "he will never have existed." "you're remembered and you're celebrated." "you're forgotten." "you can do this." "you can do it." "I can't help you unless you do." "Amy." "Please." "INAUDIBLE" "Amy." "Come on." "Woah!" "Argh!" "Remember Rory." "Keep remembering him." "Rory is only alive in your memory." "don't let anything distract you." "Rory still lives in your mind." "What were you saying?" "The Doctor knows he critically and importantly and hugely let Amy down." "and I think that's just even worse than death itself. ever born." "Are you OK?" "I thought I saw someone else there for a second. and it's his fault." "There is more blood on his hands." "You go in." "it keeps jamming." "You boys and your locksmithery." "That's a bit of a cliffhanger." "can I?" "and we see him hold it up has gone..."
