Behind the Scenes of The 60th Anniversary Specials - Part Eight

From Doctor Who Magazine 599:

DWM: TARDIS scenes have certainly suffered from being a bit static in the past. So this was about making those scenes more... kinetic? Joel Collins, executive producer: I think it was about making them more full of joy. That was the word Russell used when I first met him, more than two years ago. He wanted to put so much joy into Doctor Who. And when the Doctor enters the TARDIS and starts running around, you see that immediately. Phil Sims, production designer: David Tennant walked on and immediately ran around every single bit, like a tomcat marking his territory. And now Ncuti completely owns it. I mean, he really owns it. It's just glorious to see him in there.

Excerpts from Benjamin Cook’s interview with Lindsay Duncan in DWM 415:

“Loads of energy,” bellows Graeme [Harper, director], as the cast and crew gear up for another take. “Let’s kick it up the bottom - really fast and pacey, c’mon! It’s a lovely, chaotic moment.”  He turns to William Hartley, the First Assistant Director.  “It’s like being in a circus, isn’t it?”

“What does that make you, then?” chips in Russell T. Davies, Doctor Who showrunner and - with Phil Ford - the writer of this episode.  “The lion tamer?”

“I’d like to start over there,” explains Graeme, “and pull focus, so you’ve got the Doctor as a loose, lonely figure, watching on…”

“Is that when I get changed?” teases David, removing his helmet.  “Is that when I slip into something more comfortable?  I left my space shoes by the door! Sorry about the helmet hair,” he adds.

“Wear it like that out,” suggests Russell. “You’ll start a trend.”
