Behind the Scenes of Gridlock (Part 2)
Interview with David Tennant from DWM 382, as reported by Jason Arnopp
βThereβs a lot of sitting in cars in Gridlock, but they donβt drive very far! You donβt have to drive around London for too long, to be able to identify with that. Itβs certainly not five billion years away - I could imagine it happening any minute, on Shepardβs Bush roundabout! Itβs a clever little parallel and it makes for a very different episode. Itβs very contained. Huge amounts of the story happen in this tiny little box. Itβs a very clever script from that point of view - the indominitability of the human spirit and at the same time the willingness to conform. It gives the Doctor an interesting conflict of interests - on one hand, these motorway people have found a way of bonding and helping each other through it. And yet at the same time their indolence is infuriating.β
