Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,160
- And...
- In this episode...
2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,680
- ..action!
- I need to increase the weight on the
mine at the exact
3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,000
moment I decrease it.
4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,280
- ..we've got a hopping mad Doctor...
- He had to stand on one foot!
5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,760
- I've got one massive glute.
6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,560
And the other is normal size.
7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,000
- ..the return of a Doctor Who
legend...
8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,480
- Come on through...
9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,320
..into...
10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,400
- Ah!
- ..the TARDIS.
- You've redecorated.
11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,520
- I'm Anglican.
12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,080
- A revealing scoop interview with the
latest companion
13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,560
to join the Whoniverse, Varada Sethu.
14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,960
Sort of day one of the rest of your
life at this point now.
15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,760
Isn't it?
16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,920
- Is it?
17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,120
- And spoiler alert, we've got a world
exclusive clip from the next
18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,520
Doctor Who episode.
19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,600
Welcome to Doctor Who: Unleashed.
20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,920
Well, well and well.
21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,680
Have we got an explosive episode for
you!
22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,800
Unleashed goes boom with not one, but
two bombshells.
23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,840
Later on, we've got the inside intel
24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,600
on the return of Doctor Who legend
Steven Moffat.
25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,160
- And then one day, I had this one,
26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,040
"What if he stood on a land mine for
the entire episode
27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,840
"and couldn't move?"
28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,520
- But first, let's diffuse the mystery
of Mundy Flynn.
29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,240
- Splice, are you OK down there?
- I'm here, Mundy.
30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,760
I'm trying to find Daddy.
31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,000
- Or should I say Varada Sethu?
32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,800
- My name is Mundy Flynn.
33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,720
I'm an ordained Anglican Marine.
34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,080
What are you doing down here?
35
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,560
- Or should I actually say Varada
Sethu, the recently unveiled
36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,600
and latest companion to join the
Whoniverse family?
37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,480
Well, if we're going to unpack that
one,
38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,320
we're going to have to go back in
time.
39
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:05,200
Where were you on the afternoon of
Friday 10th of March 2023?
40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,680
Me, I was on stage six at Wolf Studios
watching filming of Boom.
41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,680
- And action!
42
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,160
- On set was Varada, fresh from
playing Cinta Kaz
43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,160
in the Star Wars series Andor.
44
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,640
- It doesn't matter. It doesn't
matter.
45
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,120
Look at the readings.
46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,520
If that mine blows, it blows
everything.
47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,400
- This was her Doctor Who debut.
48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,160
Of course, you've got a bit of a thing
for being in big sci-fi
49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,840
brands, haven't you?
- Maybe.
50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,440
- STEFFAN LAUGHS You know, Doctor Who,
Star Wars.
51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,560
They're two pretty cool franchises to
be a part of.
52
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,880
- Yeah. I don't know how I've got
here, mate.
53
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,280
I have no... I don't know, but I'm
enjoying the ride.
54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,520
- Everyone's faking it, right? I'm the
same.
- I'm the same.
55
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Fake it till you make it. No, it's
actually incredible.
56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,320
I love, um, action and, like,
57
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,720
adventure, sci-fi, fantasy as a genre.
58
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,440
And it's what I've wanted to be in.
Like, my favourite films
59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,200
when I was growing up were things
like, um, Indiana Jones
60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,920
and Star Wars, you know?
61
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,960
So it's amazing being here and it is
absolutely
62
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,400
a dream come true.
63
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Where's your dad?
64
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,760
- You're joking, but he's not.
65
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,960
Everybody knows he likes you.
66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,640
- Splice, your dad. Where is he?
67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,360
- Varada spent three weeks filming on
Doctor Who and then left with love
68
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,680
and best wishes.
69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,440
Except she didn't quite.
70
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,280
Nine months later, Varada was back
behind these walls,
71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,200
largely unnoticed until today, 12th of
April, 2024,
72
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,480
when she was officially announced as a
new companion for Season Two.
73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,160
Let's see if I can get my timey-wimey
Doctor Who brain
74
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,280
around this. Because we are filming
this,
75
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,600
this is April 12th, 2024.
76
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,400
You have just been announced as the
new companion officially,
77
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,240
which is very exciting.
Congratulations.
78
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,120
- Yeah. It's exciting.
79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,400
- Yes. But we filmed before, together,
over a year ago
80
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,720
for episode three, Boom.
- Mm-hm.
81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080
- Now, when we did that interview, you
wouldn't have known
82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,400
that this would happen.
83
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400
- Oh, no. I was just in it for the
ride.
84
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,600
I had a great time for those three
weeks, and it was just like, um,
85
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,280
you know, I was devastated to be
leaving
86
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,600
because I had so much fun.
87
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,760
But, um, yeah, I didn't know anything
about it. That call
88
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,120
came much later. Months and months.
Months later.
89
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,280
- Yeah.
- So, yeah.
- What's it like, then, finally being
able
90
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:23,320
to sort of breathe out and say to the
world,
91
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,280
"Yes, I am the new..."
- "It's me! I got it!"
92
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:27,840
- "For God's sake, it's out there."
93
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:32,480
- I don't know, because I think when I
first started the job,
94
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,320
it was like, "Oh, my God, I'm gagging
to tell everyone that I've
95
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,040
"got it. I've got it, I've got it,
I've got it."
96
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,440
But then I started to really value
being able to, um, being able
97
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,520
to film, just put my head down and
work and, like, get through it.
98
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360
- Without the noise.
- Without all the noise.
99
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:54,120
But, um, I am excited to see, er, what
being announced brings,
100
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,720
being able to be a lot more open
about, you know, what the experience
101
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,000
has been like, um...
- Yeah.
102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,560
- ..and also just, I think being able
to engage with the Doctor Who fans
103
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,520
that are already sneakily reaching
out.
104
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,240
I don't know how you guys found out,
but, um, yeah, like, being able
105
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,160
to say, "Yes, it's me. It is me."
106
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,320
- Because without being sort of
hyperbolic about it,
107
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,800
but it's like sort of day one of the
rest of your life
108
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,840
at this point now, isn't it?
109
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,640
- Is it?
110
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,840
- Because you'll always be from now
on...
111
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:28,200
- Yeah.
- ..one of the Doctor's companions.
112
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,760
- Yeah, it is, it is.
113
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,000
And it... I find it, um...
114
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,600
Yeah, I can't wait. I can't wait for
what
115
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,640
that brings, the chapter. Like,
it's... Yeah.
116
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,360
- Because you still have secrets that
you must keep.
117
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,520
- I have. Yeah. I can't say anything
right now.
- Yeah.
118
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,800
So, forget about those ones and just
focus on the one thing
119
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,360
you can say, which is you are the
Doctor's new companion.
120
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,480
- I'm the Doctor's new companion, and
I am so excited and pleased
121
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,600
and over the moon to be here.
122
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,040
- Well, shall we cheers here with a
cup of lukewarm tea?
123
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,440
- Yes. Thank you.
- Well done, you.
- Best tea ever.
124
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,640
- Yes.
125
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,120
Not really.
126
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,600
So what has Russell got planned for
Varada's new companion?
127
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,080
- She's coming in, into Season Two.
128
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,320
But quite how that happens, what
happens, why it happens,
129
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,160
it's very much knitted into the story
of the Doctor and the story
130
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,160
of Ruby Sunday, so come back and find
out.
131
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,640
- Welcome to the planet Kastarion 3, a
war-torn world
132
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,600
overrun by the villainous Villengard
algorithm.
133
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,280
Kastarion 3 is full of armed vicars
and vergers, vacuum drones
134
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:40,600
and watch-where-you're-stepping...
135
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,480
..vaporising mines.
136
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
And all of it dreamt up by the
luminous mind
137
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,240
of writer Steven Moffat.
138
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,240
- Are you my mummy?
139
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,000
- For all you Whovians out there,
you'll know Steven is responsible
140
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,200
for some of the greatest moments in
Who history.
141
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,480
He has written over 40 episodes and
was the Doctor Who executive
142
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,800
producer and showrunner from 2010 to
2017.
143
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,960
- Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey...stuff.
144
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,640
- On top of that, he was the
co-creator behind the global hit
145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Sherlock and wrote recent series
Inside Man, starring the tenth
146
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,280
and 14th Doctor, David Tennant.
147
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,840
And now he's back on the TARDIS, quite
literally, actually.
148
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,040
And what we all want to know is, how
come?
149
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,040
- Well, the night before Russell
announced his grand return,
150
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,600
he emailed me
151
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,640
and said what he was doing, and I was
astonished.
152
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,920
And I'd been out for a celebration
meal with my wife and so,
153
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,280
we were both quite merry.
154
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,920
And I found this email on my phone
from Russell saying,
155
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,600
"Well, I'm going back! I'm going back
to Doctor Who!"
156
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,680
And I thought... That's exactly how he
talks.
157
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400
And I remember looking at it and
thinking, "I...I don't know
158
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,200
"if that email is really there."
159
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,920
It was there the next day, and I
phoned him up
160
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,520
and we laughed away together and
talked
161
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,320
about the old days and talked about
the new days and talked
162
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,240
about his plans, which I thought
sounded great.
163
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,920
And inevitably, because it's us, we
started talking about ideas.
164
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Then one day I had this one -
165
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,920
"What if he stood on a land mine for
the entire episode
166
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,200
"and couldn't move?"
167
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,640
And within 30 seconds, and I'm not
kidding,
168
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,840
within 30 seconds, as I was getting up
from my computer just having
169
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,760
pressed send, he came back and said,
"Oh, my God, yes!"
- And action.
170
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,520
- When I came back on board with
Doctor Who, I think phone call
171
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,280
number three was Steven Moffat.
172
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,520
Phone call number one was Bad Wolf.
173
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,920
Phone call number two was Murray Gold.
174
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,720
Phone call number three was Steven.
175
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,560
And it might not have been in that
order, to be honest.
176
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:43,760
And, um, begging him to come and do
it. And it's brilliant.
177
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,160
He just says... He literally just sent
me an email saying,
178
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,440
"What if the Doctor stands on a land
mine and can't move?"
179
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Yes. I literally went,
180
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,440
"Yes, that's it, that's it.
Brilliant."
181
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,520
- Ruby, if this doesn't work out...
182
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,280
..you are brave.
183
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,840
You are wonderful.
184
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,400
- When you get scripts through and it
says at the top "Steven Moffat",
185
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,040
did you sort of read it differently or
did you...could you feel
186
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,240
it was written by someone different
compared to the rest?
187
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,680
- You could, yeah.
- You could.
- Yeah, you could.
188
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,240
You could tell that it wasn't Russell,
because I feel like every
189
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,240
writer has such a unique way of
writing.
190
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,120
It's like a puzzle, really, in that
episode.
191
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,680
- Yes. That's a script that has been
written by a Scorpio.
192
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,880
Like, it's very...
193
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,200
It's, like, it's very dark, but
dealing with, like, huge themes.
194
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,040
Like, thematically, what's happening
in that episode
195
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,040
is...is like...is almost quite
Grecian.
196
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,720
Like, it's very grand themes
197
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,880
that he's, like, executed so subtly
and so cleverly.
198
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,600
- And obviously, thank you, Steven,
199
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,760
for giving you some of the longest
sentences.
200
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,080
- And really some of the best as well.
201
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,800
He gave me some beautiful lines.
202
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,000
I'm a much bigger bang than you
bargained for.
203
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,920
I'm a lot more explosive than I look
204
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,880
and, honey...
205
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,480
..I know how I look.
206
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,720
Oh!
207
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,520
Thank you, Steven, for that one!
208
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,840
- Millie has just described Steven
Moffat's script as a puzzle.
209
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,680
Well, it was also a series of
challenges for the cast
210
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:17,880
and the crew.
211
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,680
Challenge number one - where to film
it?
212
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,360
Going all the way back to the classic
era,
213
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,200
if you wanted to create an alien
planet, you went
214
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,720
to the nearest quarry.
215
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Whether you were trying to recreate
Mars, Utopia
216
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,280
or the Planet of the Ood, a limestone,
sandstone,
217
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,120
clay or slate hole in the ground was a
ready-made solution.
218
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,200
In fact, down the years, over 30
different quarries
219
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,120
have guest-starred on Doctor Who.
220
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,800
Some of them more than once.
221
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,440
But when it came to creating Kastarion
3, in March, in Wales,
222
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,400
nobody was keen to go down that hole,
so they built it instead.
223
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,120
- I wasn't remotely surprised to hear
that the crater would be built
224
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,320
on set and not on location,
225
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,600
because I've been in this kind of
situation.
226
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,200
You want a controllable weather
environment.
227
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,800
Oh, God, you do.
228
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Several days of rainfall could destroy
your show.
229
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,920
And above all, the job of a Doctor Who
creative is to spend as much
230
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,720
time avoiding going to a muddy field
as possible.
231
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,920
I managed that for years when I ran
Doctor Who.
232
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,640
For years. I just said that I'm not
going to the muddy fields.
233
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,080
I don't care what happens. I'm not
going. "But you wrote it."
234
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,960
"I know. I'm not going, because I'm
the boss and I'm not
235
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,320
"going to the muddy field. Deal with
it.
236
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,280
"Going to go watch Strictly, right?
237
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,240
"You go to the muddy field."
238
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,680
- While Steven kicks back to watch
Strictly,
239
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:43,760
I'm going to take you on a tour of the
muddy field, AKA
240
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,400
the indoor crater.
241
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,440
It's going to get a bit tight in here,
OK, so, um, bear with me.
242
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,240
So everybody's very busy, as you can
see.
243
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Come on up the big ramp.
244
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,920
Have you seen the sides, by the way?
You can't really see
245
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,040
it yet, but they've painted all this
giant mural all on the side.
246
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Must have taken ages to do that.
247
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,840
So these rocks, you know, they look
really realistic,
248
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,760
but they're actually fake. So there we
are.
249
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,760
- I love this set.
- It's such a cool set.
250
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,960
It reminds me of a war film.
251
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,560
- I mean, it's all... We're not
actually on a crater.
252
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:22,120
So, some of it is foam, some of it is
rock.
253
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,640
You've got to be careful where you
stand.
254
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,640
- This is what's really catching me
out with all these sets
255
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240
we've seen - the attention to detail.
256
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,600
Like, real gravel on the floor. Makes
you feel like you're here.
257
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,240
You know, it doesn't feel synthetic.
It feels real.
258
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,960
So, down there, they're just working
on where the camera's positioned.
259
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,920
And... Is that a thing a director
does?
260
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,360
I don't know. They're working on
stuff.
261
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,880
They're sorting stuff out down there.
262
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,280
But this is the top of the set.
263
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,440
Now, eagle-eyed fans out there, I know
lots of you are
264
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,080
eagle-eyed fans, might recognise this,
265
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,960
I don't know, broken spaceship,
266
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,720
we might say, this here. It's been
blasted apart in the war.
267
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,520
That is actually the Meep's spaceship
from special episode one,
268
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,600
but repurposed by the brilliant
effects team here to look
269
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,400
like it's been blasted apart in this
war.
270
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,280
There's all sorts going on here. So
they've got these lights
271
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,040
on the ceiling that are like
inflatable tents.
272
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Is that a fair description?
273
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,040
Someone's going to give me a row for
describing them like that.
274
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,600
But they just look... I mean, they
just create that atmosphere
275
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,000
because you just look up and you
think,
276
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,400
"Oh, I'm just on a different planet."
277
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,720
Actually, I'm in Cardiff city centre.
278
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:29,560
- The technology is going to be sick
for this episode.
279
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:30,680
It's incredible.
280
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:34,000
Like, obviously we've got this whole
screen and then we've got
281
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,320
the set, but then...
282
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,080
- We've seen the demo for the planets
that Ruby sees and it's incredible.
283
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,320
- Incredible.
284
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,280
So, thinking about what is going to be
put behind us...
285
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,960
- Yeah, it's like...
- ..is so cool.
286
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,080
It's not here now, obviously, but
like...
- It's not real.
287
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,520
- And later in the episode, we'll
reveal exactly how the not-real
288
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,360
planets become very real, right in
front of our eyes.
289
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,880
Still to come on Doctor Who:
Unleashed...
290
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,760
What's that made out of, then?
- A real gun.
291
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,640
- That's a real gun?
- I think it was a harpoon gun.
292
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,120
- Yeah, right. Yeah.
293
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,400
..I take a tour of the encampment set,
294
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,440
try not to go up in flames on my
latest work experience...
295
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,400
..and spoilers -
296
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,120
we've got an exclusive clip from next
week's Doctor Who.
297
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,800
But first, this...
298
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,200
- Come on through...
299
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,360
..into...
- Ah!
- ..the TARDIS.
300
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,920
- You've redecorated it.
301
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,480
- On 4th of January 2023, Unleashed
invited
302
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,360
two of Britain's most acclaimed TV
dramatists onto the TARDIS.
303
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,640
- You like it?
- No.
304
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,640
Ah, it's... It's absolutely
incredible.
305
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,000
It is absolutely beautiful.
306
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,760
- It's beautiful, isn't it?
307
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,200
- Between them, since 2005, Steven
Moffat and Russell T Davies
308
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,360
have written 80 episodes of Doctor
Who.
309
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,800
- Where do you want to go? How
about...2003
310
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,800
to stop ourselves...
- Yes. Yes. We had careers then!
311
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,600
- We had youth. We had faces.
312
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,200
- THEY LAUGH
313
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,080
- Everything. And now...
- Yeah.
314
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,920
- So we asked them to answer the
following simple question.
315
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,280
- What are the ingredients of a good
Doctor Who story?
316
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,760
- There's an awful lot, that's the
trouble. And that's why...
317
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,480
That's why it's hard to get people to
write it.
318
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,880
You need an idea so big, it could be a
movie.
319
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,960
Even a bad Doctor Who story has got a
big idea in it.
- Yes.
320
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,600
- The Doctor himself is such a massive
idea,
321
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,600
such a massive character.
- It is an event.
322
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,160
- I am a higher dimension Time Lord.
323
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,040
I am a complex space-time event.
324
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,000
- He's got to walk into a situation
that's as interesting as he is
325
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,960
or he'll bleach it out. He can't go
and solve a whodunnit...
326
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,760
- That's true.
- ..because that's not enough for him.
327
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,400
- And even it's hard now to say,
328
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,360
"He enters a factory which has been
overtaken by monsters."
329
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,080
That's not enough now.
- No.
- There's got to be... What else is
there?
330
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,400
What else is there? What else?
- Well, you sort of think he would
331
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,840
do that with his left hand, you know
what I mean? He wouldn't bother.
332
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,360
But it's exhausting, isn't it, when
you've got to write him
333
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,520
and you think he's got to walk into a
room and do something
334
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,640
or think something, you think,
335
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,960
"What does the cleverest, fastest
person in the universe do now?"
336
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,360
- Yes, yes.
- "And how does he think about
things?"
337
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,240
It's different. It's disconnected.
- I do find I think you have to
338
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,760
shut him up sometimes.
- Oh, God, yes.
339
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,400
- Because he just will stand there and
explain everything. And other people
340
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,400
have got to have a voice.
- Yeah.
- And it's like, "Shut up."
341
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,960
- Shut up, Doctor.
- Shut up!
342
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,320
- Shutity-up-up-up.
343
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,080
- I'm trying to get him on his back
foot,
344
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,920
which is a great place to put him.
345
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,440
- You literally do in your story!
- Yes, yes.
346
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,800
He's on one back foot for quite a lot
of it.
347
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,360
- But that's...that's... You have to
get inventive around him.
348
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,960
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's the show at its best.
- Yes. No, it really is.
349
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,920
It really is.
- Getting my Zen on.
350
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,160
My land mine Zen.
351
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,360
- How do you stop him winning?
352
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,040
- It's delaying. It's tough. Every
episode is tap dance.
353
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,520
- Yeah.
- It's tap dancing. It's putting on a
show to stop him
354
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,800
finding that button and pressing it
and saying, "Everyone stop."
355
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,440
- One wrong move and boom!
356
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,800
I go all food mixer.
357
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,840
- And you start to realise, I mean,
the solution in the old show,
358
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,760
quite often by episode three, was to
knock him unconscious.
- Yes.
359
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,240
- Doctor Who spends quite a lot of
time in episode threes
360
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,760
of the old show... And I understand
why, I get it.
361
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,040
- Yes. Have to lock him up in a cell.
- Yeah, and just...
362
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,440
just get him out of the way.
363
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,600
- You are in my sights! I can drop you
where you stand.
364
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,720
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
365
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,600
- Doctor Who doesn't do, for the most
part, straightforward suspense,
366
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,080
straightforward tension. You know,
like a big Hitchcock thing.
367
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,880
"You're standing on a wire," or
something.
368
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,720
So you need a big idea that doesn't
get bleached out by the TARDIS
369
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,920
and the Doctor.
- Yeah.
- It needs to be an adventure.
370
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,640
That's the big word, isn't it?
Adventure. Rather than sci-fi.
371
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,920
- Absolutely, absolutely.
- But...sci-fi is a freedom it has
rather...
372
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,720
- Well, sci-fi, it's interesting,
that's the one modulation
373
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,080
I think I've kind of brought to it, is
when I started writing
374
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,400
the Toymaker that the supernatural
kind of crept in...
- I'm loving...
375
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,320
- Suddenly I thought, I can write
goblins, you can write
376
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,080
the God of Music. That's been a
real... To an extent,
377
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,400
it's like, let's stop pretending
there's any hard science fiction
378
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,480
in this show. Look at this magical
box. It's just nonsense.
379
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,040
It's like, we will do... I mean,
ironically, yours
380
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,840
about standing on a land mine is very,
very hard sci-fi.
- Yeah.
381
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,200
- So you can do those, but you can
also do stories
382
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,280
that are just wild and mad.
- Yes.
- That's nice territory to be in.
383
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,960
I've enjoyed that.
- Yes. Yeah.
384
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,040
- Um, cos I think actually, one of my
ingredients is death.
385
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,720
That there should be absolute danger
of death in it.
386
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,760
And I think in Doctor Who, if there
isn't,
387
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,400
it's so lacking something, that fear
of death...
388
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,320
It doesn't quite stalk Star Trek, it
doesn't quite stalk Star Wars
389
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,440
in the way that it does Doctor Who.
- No, it's absolutely true.
390
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,240
The proper visceral jeopardy. But
that's partly because,
391
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,600
you know, the characters in Star Trek
are sensible.
392
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,280
They arrive with guns and equipment
and a giant spaceship and a team.
393
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,760
That's how I'd like to arrive on an
alien planet.
394
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:59,320
The Doctor puts his coat on and, you
know, forgets his screwdriver
395
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,400
because he didn't... he wasn't using
it recently.
396
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,160
So it's full of that.
397
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,320
You're following a genius idiot into
an incredibly dangerous landscape
398
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,600
that he has tremendous faith ISN'T
going to be that dangerous
399
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,960
or bad THIS TIME because presumably he
doesn't watch the show.
400
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:20,640
- As well as the crater,
401
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,520
there was one other set constructed
for this episode -
402
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,560
the military encampment.
403
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,760
Built on the backlot at Wolf Studios,
404
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,760
it's only seen on screen for 81
seconds,
405
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,960
but the detail and the care taken by
the art department
406
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,360
in bringing the set to life is
gobsmacking.
407
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:42,240
The department's Rhys Ifan has agreed
to take us for a spin.
408
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:47,640
Oh, this is so detailed. It just looks
like I'm just here,
409
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,320
I'm in the middle of the encampment.
410
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,640
How long did it take you to make this?
411
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,360
- Four weeks from start to finish.
- Four weeks?
- Yeah, yeah.
412
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:56,200
- What are these made...? Are they...?
- So they're shipping containers.
413
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,600
- Are they actual shipping containers?
414
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,680
- Yeah, they're actual shipping
containers that we've cut up
415
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,720
and sprayed.
- The thing about this one is the
scope of it, you know,
416
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,920
it's like above you as well, and it
feels really real.
417
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,880
Even, like, the stones on the floor,
you've got different colour.
418
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,160
- So the idea was to keep as much of
it in camera as we could.
- Yeah.
419
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,040
- Didn't rely on VFX and greenscreen.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
420
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,520
So how do you make a tank like this?
421
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,480
- So these were tanks that we
purchased.
422
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,440
- So you bought an old tank?
- Er, they were Snow-Tracs.
423
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,640
- What's that made out of, then?
- So that's a real...real gun.
424
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,560
- That's a real gun!
- I think it was a harpoon gun.
- Yeah, right, yeah.
425
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,040
Well, I mean, I've just spotted this
bit here.
426
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,920
It looks like it's...sort of like a
command centre or something
427
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,360
over there. Do you mind if I go
another nose? Can I have a nose?
428
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,480
Oh, this is cool. Don't know if you
can see that.
429
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,080
Probably not going to show up on
screen, is it?
430
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,320
But, like, all the little details,
431
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,960
like all the Villengard stickers and
stuff.
432
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,560
- That's our graphic design...
- Graphic design?
- Yeah, there's an awful lot
433
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,880
of detail that goes into it. And even
if it doesn't show up
434
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,480
on camera, it helps.
- Oh, you can feel it. Yeah,
absolutely.
435
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,080
You seem very calm. Cos obviously this
is your job.
436
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,280
Whereas I walk on here, I'm like a kid
in a candy shop.
437
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,560
It's like laser quest, but ten million
times better.
438
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,280
So this is the kitchen, then?
- Yeah.
439
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,640
- We don't actually see much of this
space in the episode, do we?
440
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,200
Or the one opposite. This is much
bigger than what we see on screen.
441
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,880
Why do you... Not "why bother" but
sort of why bother?
442
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,680
- Um, well, we've got 30 supporting
actors on the set.
443
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,000
Um, so it kind of... They'll all be
moving around from one place
444
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,040
to the other, so they've got to have
somewhere to...
- Move to.
445
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:31,720
- Have a reason... Part of it is that
we get a bit carried away. Um...
446
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,680
- You're there drawing. You're like,
"What if we add this in as well?"
447
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,280
Rhys, thank you very much for your
time. Just wondering,
448
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,360
where do you buy a harpoon gun from?
Big ones as well.
449
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,360
Earlier in the episode,
450
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:51,920
Ncuti and Millie spoke about the
incredible scenic backgrounds
451
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,360
that would be added to the crater
footage.
452
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:56,000
Towards the end of the shoot,
453
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,800
an LED wall was erected on set.
454
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,200
Apparently, it's here to do magic.
455
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,120
- The LED screen technology is a
technology
456
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,760
that I've been fascinated by for a
while.
457
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,360
The amazing thing about it is, they
worked with Phil Sims
458
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,000
to build an extension of the set.
459
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,920
There was an LED wall, which is
effectively like a window
460
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,120
into the 360 world that they built,
461
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,960
and the actors could stand in front of
it and could walk around
462
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,360
on that set, and behind the actors
would move
463
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:31,600
as if it was the real landscape.
464
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,320
- And three, two, one. Action.
465
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,960
- So how does this technology work?
466
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,840
- In order for us to maintain the
right perspective
467
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,800
when it's on camera, we have this
tracker.
468
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,800
And what this does is talking to all
of our motion tracking cameras
469
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,480
along the edge of our screen.
470
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,280
It tells the camera where it is in 3D
space and where it's moving
471
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,440
and turning, and that makes sure that
this always looks right.
472
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,200
If that doesn't happen, it's just
going to look
473
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,520
like a painted backdrop.
474
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,400
- So what you're seeing is we have
about 33 cameras set up right now.
475
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,960
We just try to maximise the amount of
space that they'll capture.
476
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,360
So, you know, if we do a camera move
from back here,
477
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:17,240
if they want to use a crane, we have
that fully captured.
478
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,800
Those lines that you're seeing are the
actual rays
479
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,760
that are hitting the tracker that
Billy probably already talked about.
480
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,560
And that gets processed
481
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,920
and what you end up seeing on the wall
is the projected perspective
482
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,440
of the camera's position.
483
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,320
- It's live. So it's not, you know,
484
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,120
six months down the road in visual
effects.
485
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:37,880
It's right now and everybody's present
that has a say in that
486
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,960
can actually, you know, have opinions
about it,
487
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,960
get it changed on the day and it's
done.
488
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,880
- And when you look at it through a
monitor,
489
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,080
it looks like magic with the practical
foreground
490
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,440
and then the background. So, yeah, it
really is magic.
491
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,320
- In every episode of Unleashed, I get
to try out a bit of work experience.
492
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,960
Now, I have to say, I'm really looking
forward to this one,
493
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,080
because I've been eyeing the work of
this guy up enviously all shoot.
494
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,960
His name is Tom Vincent and he gets to
do stuff like this.
495
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,040
And although I'm not going to be
allowed to do this or this,
496
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,040
I am going to be playing with fire.
497
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,920
So we know there's that big set with
the crater just over there, Tom.
498
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,720
What can I blow up today or
what-what... What can I help with?
499
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,880
Can I set something on fire? What are
we doing today?
500
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:40,040
- Definitely a bit of fire today.
- Yeah.
- Um, we've got these, er,
501
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,400
metal things called fish tails with
flame coming out.
502
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,520
We'll have you operating one of them
on the gas bottle. Nice and safe.
503
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,880
Nowhere near the flame.
- Sounds exciting. Fish tails. Fire.
I'm in.
504
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,040
THEY LAUGH
505
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,760
Today, like every day on the crater
set,
506
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,200
Tom and his team are setting fire to
stuff.
507
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,560
- We're doing flame effects, um, which
can be dangerous.
508
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,400
We're on a set which is made of foam,
509
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,040
so we're going to be super careful.
510
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,240
If you look over there, we've got
protection all up the set.
511
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,400
So that is, er, Durablanket.
512
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,360
Uh, it's basically...it's...
513
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:14,680
Can't conduct heat and it can't burn,
so...
514
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,160
- Oh, so that stops...
515
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,640
Anything goes wrong, yeah.
- Protection. It's a bit,
516
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,000
to be honest, a bit overkill. But
we're doing everything properly
517
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,720
because it's a film set.
- Yeah, absolutely. We're in a war
zone,
518
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,240
right?
- Exactly.
- So there's... There's fire kicking
off.
- Exactly,
519
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,680
yeah. We're basically on the outskirts
of this,
520
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,880
bit of flame reflection sometimes in
the back of shot.
- Yeah.
521
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,920
- Um, and the way we achieve that is
with gas,
522
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,720
this item here, which is called a fish
tail.
- Yeah.
523
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,680
- Commonly used in the SFX world.
524
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,840
Um, super safe, super easy.
525
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,520
- Fish tail? I think that's my cue.
526
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,680
But before I burn the house down, how
do you get to work in SFX?
527
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,880
- Well, I actually started off as a
trainee rigger, um,
528
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,920
which is a scaffolder, for people who
don't know,
529
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,760
and I absolutely hated it.
- Did you?
- Yeah.
- Why didn't you...
530
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,840
Why didn't you want to be a rigger?
- I didn't get on with the boss.
531
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,560
- THEY LAUGH
532
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,440
Hello, old boss.
- Yeah.
533
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,760
Um, but I saw the guys doing special
effects on Doctor Who
534
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,800
cos I had a contract with Doctor Who.
- Yeah.
535
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,600
- And I just basically begged him. I
was like, "Come on..." And, er,
536
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,240
luckily, they gave me a chance, and
that was 12 years ago.
537
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,360
- Yeah.
- Yeah, haven't looked back.
- And...action!
538
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:23,000
- So you've got your fires and also
you're in charge of smoke wafting,
539
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,560
which is...
- Smoke as well, yeah. Bit of smoke.
540
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,200
So, yeah, with the smoke, we fill up
the stage.
541
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,000
Um, it helps blend this transom in
with the set.
542
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,160
- Do you mind if I have a little go
putting this fire on?
543
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,000
Not that I'm a pyromaniac or anything.
- No problem at all.
544
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,080
What we'll do, we'll put you on the
bottle.
- Yeah.
545
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,520
- Not the flame end. So I'll show
you...
546
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,720
- I wouldn't trust me with the flame
end either.
547
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,880
Tom's talking a good game, but when it
comes down to it,
548
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,720
don't go near the flames.
- Yeah.
- That's fine.
549
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080
- We'll do the flame end, you do the
bottle end. No problem.
550
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,040
- Right.
- Make your way down here.
- OK, here we go. This is it.
551
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,000
Right, so these big bottles here, is
that...
- That's it.
552
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,800
We've already preset the level here.
553
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,080
So it'll be a simple case of, we
instruct you to turn this valve.
554
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,200
- Yeah.
- Turn it straight, that's gas on.
555
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,080
When we say "gas off" you bring it
back.
556
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,400
Super safe.
- Great.
- Yeah?
557
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,760
- So...a very small chance of me
messing this up.
- Yes, very small.
558
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,400
- This is perfect work experience,
isn't it? Yeah, great.
559
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,880
- They could revive her...
560
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,080
- Just don't try this at home.
561
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,120
- Bring the gas on.
- OK, here we go. Watch this.
562
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:22,120
Oh, did you see that?
563
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:23,640
- There you go.
564
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,120
- Hey, war zone, look at that.
565
00:27:26,120 --> 00:27:28,520
In one fell swoop.
566
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,200
What do you think?
- Love it.
567
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,280
And then gas off when you're ready.
- Gas off and ready.
568
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,160
- Cut there, thank you.
569
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,120
- There's people watching this, think,
"I want to be making smoke
570
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:43,760
"and snow and all the cool stuff that
you've done."
571
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,360
What advice would you give them?
- Well, things are a lot easier now,
572
00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:51,400
I think, with Skillset Cymru, um, and
Bad Wolf in general
573
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,480
are really good with apprenticeships.
But, yeah,
574
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,720
get in touch, keep writing, don't give
up, send in CVs, phone calls.
575
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,920
- Next time on Doctor Who...
576
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,840
- Mad Jack is unbound.
577
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,120
- BANGING ON DOOR
578
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,720
- Oh, don't.
579
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,360
- He'd kill me. He would kill me. I'm
the one he'd kill first.
580
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:12,840
And you know why, don't you?!
581
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,440
- What the hell have you done?
582
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,920
- No, that's just someone at the door.
583
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,760
BANGING CONTINUES
584
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,240
