1
00:00:02,831 --> 00:00:04,765
With all of time
and space to explore,
2
00:00:04,767 --> 00:00:09,236
what keeps bringing
the Doctor back to America?
3
00:00:09,238 --> 00:00:10,771
Is it the scenery?
4
00:00:10,773 --> 00:00:14,354
Is it the locals?
5
00:00:14,356 --> 00:00:16,552
Who the hell are you?
Sir.
6
00:00:16,554 --> 00:00:19,418
I just walked into
the highest security office
7
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:21,728
in the United States, parked
a big, blue box on the rug.
8
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:23,596
You think you can just shoot me?
9
00:00:28,450 --> 00:00:30,285
Hello, sweetie.
10
00:00:30,287 --> 00:00:33,525
Or is it just that he's always
sure of a warm welcome.
11
00:00:33,527 --> 00:00:34,793
Doctor!
Don't worry.
12
00:00:34,795 --> 00:00:36,962
Everything is completely
under control.
13
00:00:40,794 --> 00:00:44,794

00:00:44,819 --> 00:00:48,819
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
15
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,623
The Doctor himself
is such an iconic figure.
16
00:01:08,625 --> 00:01:10,159
One of the reasons
17
00:01:10,161 --> 00:01:12,929
we're sending him to America
more often these days
18
00:01:12,931 --> 00:01:15,899
is he cuts such a different
figure against that backdrop.
19
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:19,771
Great locations.
20
00:01:19,773 --> 00:01:21,806
Great potential
for great stories out there.
21
00:01:21,808 --> 00:01:25,411
When I look at the stuff we've
done there -- Utah, New York.
22
00:01:25,413 --> 00:01:27,414
You can point a camera
anywhere in New York,
23
00:01:27,416 --> 00:01:29,083
and it looks kind of sexy.
24
00:01:29,085 --> 00:01:31,852
I don't know!
We're in New York!
25
00:01:31,854 --> 00:01:33,620
The world looks to America
26
00:01:33,622 --> 00:01:35,856
for its sort of cultural life
these days,
27
00:01:35,858 --> 00:01:38,392
so I guess it makes sense
that you want to tell
28
00:01:38,394 --> 00:01:40,161
some "Doctor Who" stories
from there, as well.
29
00:01:42,665 --> 00:01:45,502
When the Doctor always
comes back to the U.S.,
30
00:01:45,504 --> 00:01:48,738
there's always that element
of what's going to happen.
31
00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:50,974
It's something
completely different.
32
00:01:53,746 --> 00:01:56,381
I think it's just --
it's got a real epic feel to it
33
00:01:56,383 --> 00:01:58,249
which really matches
the kind of --
34
00:01:58,251 --> 00:02:00,385
the scale and the ambition
of the program.
35
00:02:02,588 --> 00:02:04,689
We are in the U.S. of A.
36
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:11,230
In most Sci-Fi,
America is the hub of --
37
00:02:11,232 --> 00:02:14,266
you know, hub of where things
are happening.
38
00:02:14,268 --> 00:02:16,870
You know, a spaceship always
seems to be parked over America.
39
00:02:16,872 --> 00:02:19,072
What's the city called?
New New York.
40
00:02:19,074 --> 00:02:21,074
Oh, come on.
It is!
41
00:02:21,076 --> 00:02:23,110
It's the city
of New New York.
42
00:02:23,112 --> 00:02:24,545
Strictly speaking,
43
00:02:24,547 --> 00:02:26,681
it's the 15th New York
since the original.
44
00:02:26,683 --> 00:02:28,716
So that makes it
new new new new new...
45
00:02:28,718 --> 00:02:31,587
new new new new new
new new new New York.
46
00:02:31,589 --> 00:02:34,890
I think.
I hope I got that right.
47
00:02:34,892 --> 00:02:38,861
Yes, the idea of being,
that in all the --
48
00:02:38,863 --> 00:02:43,499
in all the planets that
human beings will colonize
49
00:02:43,501 --> 00:02:45,768
throughout future years,
50
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:48,504
and each one will
become a new Earth
51
00:02:48,506 --> 00:02:52,309
and each one of those new Earths
will have a New York.
52
00:02:52,311 --> 00:02:55,312
We're arriving on new Earth,
which is the Gower.
53
00:02:55,314 --> 00:02:57,548
The Gower peninsula
near Swansea.
54
00:02:57,550 --> 00:03:00,551
And it's blowing a gale.
55
00:03:00,553 --> 00:03:02,953
We were supposed to be here
slightly earlier in the summer,
56
00:03:02,955 --> 00:03:04,855
and various
shooting schedule things
57
00:03:04,857 --> 00:03:07,290
meant that we're a bit late,
so it's a little bit
58
00:03:07,292 --> 00:03:08,692
more wintry than intended,
59
00:03:08,694 --> 00:03:10,727
but once the computer people
have fiddled about with it,
60
00:03:10,729 --> 00:03:12,229
it's going to look
extraordinary.
61
00:03:12,231 --> 00:03:13,330
I'm told.
62
00:03:13,464 --> 00:03:17,033
I think
the Doctor took Rose
63
00:03:17,035 --> 00:03:20,203
to new new new new new new new
new new new new new New York --
64
00:03:20,205 --> 00:03:22,772
there's not the right many
of "news" in there --
65
00:03:22,774 --> 00:03:26,176
because, number one, if you're
going to impress a girl,
66
00:03:26,178 --> 00:03:27,978
you take her to New York City,
because although
67
00:03:27,980 --> 00:03:30,180
it's one of the busiest
cities in the world,
68
00:03:30,182 --> 00:03:31,982
it's also one of
the most romantic,
69
00:03:31,984 --> 00:03:33,284
with the beautiful skyline.
70
00:03:33,286 --> 00:03:34,919
I'll never get used
to this, never.
71
00:03:34,921 --> 00:03:36,454
Different ground
beneath my feet.
72
00:03:36,456 --> 00:03:39,524
Different sky.
73
00:03:39,526 --> 00:03:42,093
Can I just say,
74
00:03:42,095 --> 00:03:44,762
traveling with you,
I love it.
75
00:03:44,764 --> 00:03:48,233
It's just impressive to see
that cityscape that was done.
76
00:03:48,235 --> 00:03:50,736
I mean, it looks beautiful.
77
00:03:56,375 --> 00:03:59,277
And for series seven,
the 11th Doctor
78
00:03:59,279 --> 00:04:02,147
went back to the original
New York to do battle
79
00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:04,016
with one of
his greatest enemies.
80
00:04:04,018 --> 00:04:05,917
With the weeping Angels
in town,
81
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:08,454
there's another reason why
the city that never sleeps
82
00:04:08,456 --> 00:04:10,322
doesn't close its eyes.
83
00:04:10,324 --> 00:04:12,825
There's something with
the weeping Angels and New York,
84
00:04:12,827 --> 00:04:13,993
and I don't know why,
85
00:04:13,995 --> 00:04:16,028
that just made me think
that's a good fit.
86
00:04:16,030 --> 00:04:18,297
I believe the weeping Angels
would infest New York
87
00:04:18,299 --> 00:04:21,201
in their terrible
and vengeful way.
88
00:04:21,203 --> 00:04:23,136
I specified in the script
that we use this whole area
89
00:04:23,138 --> 00:04:25,304
and we use that fountain,
and I specified
90
00:04:25,306 --> 00:04:27,139
that there was little
cherubs on it.
91
00:04:29,843 --> 00:04:32,378
What I hadn't noticed was
there's a whole weeping Angel
92
00:04:32,380 --> 00:04:33,980
standing right on top of it.
93
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:35,681
So it is wonderful
to have this opportunity
94
00:04:35,683 --> 00:04:38,618
to vilify one of New York's
finest landmarks
95
00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:40,220
by saying it's actually
96
00:04:40,222 --> 00:04:42,723
an evil aggressor
from outer space.
97
00:04:48,665 --> 00:04:51,266
The weeping Angels
are back, and it is terrifying.
98
00:04:51,268 --> 00:04:53,201
And it's dark,
and it's how you want
99
00:04:53,203 --> 00:04:55,336
a New York episode
of "Doctor Who" to be.
100
00:04:55,338 --> 00:04:56,838
It's really exciting,
101
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:59,073
'cause the weeping Angels
are my favorite monster.
102
00:04:59,075 --> 00:05:00,508
And it's one
of my favorite cities,
103
00:05:00,510 --> 00:05:02,543
so, I think, to have them here,
104
00:05:02,545 --> 00:05:04,511
particularly in the time
that they're in,
105
00:05:04,513 --> 00:05:06,947
is -- I don't know --
thrilling, really.
106
00:05:06,949 --> 00:05:09,749
And I think they're going
to be even more scary
107
00:05:09,751 --> 00:05:12,519
with this sort of mad,
gothic city around them.
108
00:05:12,521 --> 00:05:15,488
So, in one of America's
busiest cities,
109
00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:18,190
did filming "Doctor Who"
in New York's Central Park
110
00:05:18,192 --> 00:05:21,160
go unnoticed?
111
00:05:21,162 --> 00:05:22,228
Okay.
112
00:05:24,765 --> 00:05:26,366
Well!
113
00:05:26,368 --> 00:05:28,468
Apparently not.
114
00:05:28,470 --> 00:05:29,836
Ahh!
115
00:05:29,838 --> 00:05:31,504
Filming in Central Park
is something
116
00:05:31,506 --> 00:05:33,572
that I don't think any
of us would ever forget.
117
00:05:33,574 --> 00:05:37,043
There were hundreds of fans
following us around.
118
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:39,011
And it was mind-boggling.
119
00:05:39,013 --> 00:05:40,879
It was sort of amazing,
120
00:05:40,881 --> 00:05:43,782
'cause we got to do it
kind of guerilla style.
121
00:05:43,784 --> 00:05:46,952
'Cause, usually, "Doctor Who"
is big sets and everything,
122
00:05:46,954 --> 00:05:48,787
but we got to just take
a couple of cameras,
123
00:05:48,789 --> 00:05:50,555
get out into the park,
sort of bop around.
124
00:05:51,992 --> 00:05:54,660
When you hear us yell, "cut,"
please no more screaming either,
125
00:05:54,662 --> 00:05:56,962
'cause we don't like screaming.
It makes us nervous.
126
00:05:56,964 --> 00:05:59,198
Bye!
127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,434
We're going this way.
128
00:06:01,436 --> 00:06:03,569
We did not expect this
to happen in New York.
129
00:06:03,571 --> 00:06:04,904
It's really odd.
130
00:06:04,906 --> 00:06:06,672
I can't quite get
my head round it.
131
00:06:06,674 --> 00:06:08,508
Yeah, and there's
a girl over there
132
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:10,176
with a TARDIS
phone cover!
133
00:06:11,313 --> 00:06:13,312
Every time
we go to America,
134
00:06:13,314 --> 00:06:15,281
we are always surprised
135
00:06:15,283 --> 00:06:18,417
with the response
from American fans
136
00:06:18,419 --> 00:06:22,888
and just surprised at how big
it is getting over there.
137
00:06:22,890 --> 00:06:25,324
Thank you very much.
138
00:06:25,326 --> 00:06:27,159
Hey, guys, make a hole!
139
00:06:27,161 --> 00:06:29,161
We're coming right through here!
Make a hole, guys!
140
00:06:29,163 --> 00:06:30,896
As the days went on,
141
00:06:30,898 --> 00:06:34,533
just hundreds
and hundreds of people
142
00:06:34,535 --> 00:06:36,536
just turned up to watch us film.
143
00:06:36,538 --> 00:06:39,905
It's incredible
just to be filming here
144
00:06:39,907 --> 00:06:43,075
in the first place,
and little did we expect
145
00:06:43,077 --> 00:06:45,244
that there are massive crowds
of people all around,
146
00:06:45,246 --> 00:06:46,779
which is amazing.
147
00:06:46,781 --> 00:06:48,781
So we've been having
the best time ever.
148
00:06:48,783 --> 00:06:50,449
Just running around New York,
149
00:06:50,451 --> 00:06:52,317
shooting in all
these iconic locations.
150
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,519
Central Park just
looks amazing on camera.
151
00:06:54,521 --> 00:06:56,521
Ooh, can I see the cover?
152
00:06:56,523 --> 00:06:58,323
No, no, I'm busy.
153
00:06:58,325 --> 00:06:59,758
It's your hair.
154
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,793
Is it your hair?
Oh, shut up. It's the glasses.
155
00:07:01,795 --> 00:07:03,562
I'm wearing reading glasses
now, see?
156
00:07:03,564 --> 00:07:05,164
On my nose.
There you go.
157
00:07:06,433 --> 00:07:08,835
I don't like them.
158
00:07:08,837 --> 00:07:11,438
They make your eyes
look all liney.
159
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,740
Oh, no,
actually, sorry.
160
00:07:13,742 --> 00:07:16,243
They're fine.
Carry on.
161
00:07:18,346 --> 00:07:20,781
Okay, I'm going to go
get some more coffee.
162
00:07:20,783 --> 00:07:23,116
Who wants more coffee?
Me, too -- I'll get 'em.
163
00:07:23,118 --> 00:07:25,419
Rory, do my eyes have
noticeable lines now?
164
00:07:25,421 --> 00:07:27,087
If I could film
every episode
165
00:07:27,089 --> 00:07:29,222
of "Doctor Who"
in New York, I would.
166
00:07:29,224 --> 00:07:30,891
If it was up to me,
167
00:07:30,893 --> 00:07:33,426
we would film the whole thing
in New York City.
168
00:07:33,428 --> 00:07:35,628
Beware the Yowza.
169
00:07:35,630 --> 00:07:38,231
Do not,
at this point, yowz.
170
00:07:41,635 --> 00:07:44,871
Doctor, what did
the skinny guy say?
171
00:07:44,873 --> 00:07:46,806
He said,
172
00:07:46,808 --> 00:07:49,676
"I just went to get coffees
for the Doctor and Amy.
173
00:07:49,678 --> 00:07:51,244
Hello, River."
174
00:07:53,848 --> 00:07:55,749
Hello, Dad.
175
00:07:55,751 --> 00:07:57,084
Where am I?
176
00:07:57,086 --> 00:07:58,985
How the hell
did I get here?
177
00:07:58,987 --> 00:08:01,254
I haven't
the faintest idea.
178
00:08:01,256 --> 00:08:04,491
But you'll probably want
to put your hands up.
179
00:08:13,302 --> 00:08:14,668
Good to see you.
180
00:08:14,670 --> 00:08:16,703
Are you having a nice time?
181
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,706
They turned up
just to see people
182
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:21,607
kind of getting out of cars
and things.
183
00:08:21,609 --> 00:08:23,576
We weren't really filming
at that point.
184
00:08:23,578 --> 00:08:25,478
But it was very nice
that they turned up.
185
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,247
You know, they were very chatty.
186
00:08:27,249 --> 00:08:29,516
We went out and we just made
sure that they were all quiet
187
00:08:29,518 --> 00:08:31,518
and Matt gave
a very rousing speech.
188
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,519
Firstly, thank you
for being so patient,
189
00:08:33,521 --> 00:08:35,154
and thank you for coming.
190
00:08:35,156 --> 00:08:37,290
But I think we better
go round and do this scene,
191
00:08:37,292 --> 00:08:39,725
so they've asked me to ask if,
when we're doing the scene,
192
00:08:39,727 --> 00:08:41,694
you could be quiet
so they can get the sound.
193
00:08:41,696 --> 00:08:44,663
And I said I would ask you.
194
00:08:44,665 --> 00:08:47,266
"Doctor Who" is going from
strength to strength in America
195
00:08:47,268 --> 00:08:50,036
in ways that have outdistanced
our attempts to keep up with it.
196
00:08:50,038 --> 00:08:51,404
I'm really quite surprised.
197
00:08:51,406 --> 00:08:53,973
It used to be that "Doctor Who"
was that cult show,
198
00:08:53,975 --> 00:08:55,575
then it was that British import.
199
00:08:55,577 --> 00:08:58,078
Now "Doctor Who" in America
is just "Doctor Who."
200
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,680
I love you so much!
201
00:09:00,682 --> 00:09:04,018
Hey!
202
00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:05,420
Me, Karen, and Arthur
203
00:09:05,422 --> 00:09:07,489
now have this sort of
affinity with the city.
204
00:09:07,491 --> 00:09:09,324
We just totally,
totally love it.
205
00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:12,644
Good evening.
Hope we're not interrupting.
206
00:09:12,645 --> 00:09:13,583
Jack Harkness.
207
00:09:13,584 --> 00:09:15,584
I've been hearing all
about you on the way over.
208
00:09:15,586 --> 00:09:16,408
If we're talking about America,
209
00:09:16,409 --> 00:09:17,700
we have to talk
about Captain Jack,
210
00:09:17,701 --> 00:09:20,802
because Captain Jack was
the first American character
211
00:09:20,804 --> 00:09:24,328
introduced to
the new "Doctor Who."
212
00:09:29,306 --> 00:09:33,041
Excellent bottom.
213
00:09:33,043 --> 00:09:34,177
I say, old man, th--
214
00:09:34,178 --> 00:09:35,354
there's a time
and a place.
215
00:09:35,355 --> 00:09:36,955
The wonderful thing
about bringing Captain Jack
216
00:09:36,957 --> 00:09:40,225
into the Doctor's universe
is he is a proper
217
00:09:40,227 --> 00:09:44,907
dashing, gung-ho, womanizing,
manizing, shrub-izing soldier.
218
00:09:44,983 --> 00:09:46,716
We should really be off.
219
00:09:47,018 --> 00:09:50,019
Sorry, old man.
220
00:09:51,222 --> 00:09:52,888
I got to go meet
a girl.
221
00:09:52,890 --> 00:09:54,556
But you've got
an excellent bottom, too.
222
00:09:55,791 --> 00:09:58,726
The difference between
the Doctor and Jack,
223
00:09:58,728 --> 00:10:01,024
the Doctor would never
carry a gun.
224
00:10:01,025 --> 00:10:04,360
The Doctor, you know,
uses the sonic screwdriver.
225
00:10:04,362 --> 00:10:08,296
The Doctor will resort to
violence at the last resort.
226
00:10:08,298 --> 00:10:10,933
So for him to have
this American,
227
00:10:10,935 --> 00:10:13,302
you know, gunslinger with him --
228
00:10:13,304 --> 00:10:15,371
you know, Jack's answer
to everything is to pull out
229
00:10:15,373 --> 00:10:17,540
the gun and just shoot them
between the eyes or kill them,
230
00:10:17,542 --> 00:10:18,841
that's it.
231
00:10:18,843 --> 00:10:20,843
I hate to use the term
and to quote a President,
232
00:10:20,845 --> 00:10:22,845
but "you're either with us
or against us."
233
00:10:22,847 --> 00:10:24,347
That's Jack's philosophy.
234
00:10:24,349 --> 00:10:26,683
We ended up casting,
of course -- thank goodness --
235
00:10:26,685 --> 00:10:28,351
the brilliant John Barrowman.
236
00:10:28,353 --> 00:10:30,287
And we listened
to his range of accents.
237
00:10:30,289 --> 00:10:32,756
He could do it in
his own Scots accent,
238
00:10:32,758 --> 00:10:35,092
which, unaccountably,
I rather liked.
239
00:10:35,094 --> 00:10:40,163
He could do it in his perfectly
perfect English accent.
240
00:10:40,165 --> 00:10:43,366
Or he could do it in his sort of
adopted American accent.
241
00:10:43,368 --> 00:10:45,635
And somehow,
that part just came alive
242
00:10:45,637 --> 00:10:48,538
with John Barrowman being
American as Captain Jack.
243
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:50,140
Yes, he has an American accent
244
00:10:50,142 --> 00:10:52,108
which, I guess,
gives him a sort of
245
00:10:52,110 --> 00:10:54,076
international feel
as a character.
246
00:10:54,078 --> 00:10:55,678
He's, uh --
247
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:58,080
but we never really learn
248
00:10:58,082 --> 00:11:01,117
where he comes from or why
he speaks the way he does.
249
00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:03,786
Wh-wh-what are you taking
your clothes off for?
250
00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:05,321
I'm going in.
251
00:11:05,323 --> 00:11:08,390
Well, by the looks of it,
I'd say the stet radiation
252
00:11:08,392 --> 00:11:10,192
doesn't affect clothing,
only flesh.
253
00:11:10,194 --> 00:11:11,727
Oh, well,
I look good though.
254
00:11:11,729 --> 00:11:13,195
Part of the joy
of Captain Jack
255
00:11:13,197 --> 00:11:14,729
is that there's --
256
00:11:14,731 --> 00:11:16,898
he's sort of without origin.
257
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:18,533
We don't quite know
258
00:11:18,535 --> 00:11:21,269
where he's come from
or where, indeed, he's going.
259
00:11:21,271 --> 00:11:23,738
But whether he's actually
come from America,
260
00:11:23,740 --> 00:11:25,807
whether he's just picked
this accent up
261
00:11:25,809 --> 00:11:27,542
somewhere on his travels
262
00:11:27,544 --> 00:11:29,644
is a question you can ask
of John Barrowman
263
00:11:29,646 --> 00:11:31,880
just as much as you can ask
of Captain Jack himself.
264
00:11:31,882 --> 00:11:33,982
For myself, as the actor,
265
00:11:33,984 --> 00:11:38,086
you know, thinking about
where Jack had come from,
266
00:11:38,088 --> 00:11:40,254
all I knew about it,
267
00:11:40,256 --> 00:11:43,157
and all that Steven
and Russell had written
268
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,093
and had told me was
that he was a con artist
269
00:11:46,095 --> 00:11:47,928
and he was a time agent.
270
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:50,997
And he has traveled through time
271
00:11:50,999 --> 00:11:56,435
doing things for himself to find
out where he came from.
272
00:11:56,437 --> 00:11:58,103
So, to be honest with you,
273
00:11:58,105 --> 00:12:00,138
the history of Jack
was not known.
274
00:12:00,140 --> 00:12:02,241
Little did we know
it was yet to be created.
275
00:12:05,212 --> 00:12:06,545
During his visits to America,
276
00:12:06,547 --> 00:12:08,381
the Doctor has met some
interesting characters
277
00:12:08,383 --> 00:12:11,017
in some very iconic places.
278
00:12:12,252 --> 00:12:13,686
Now, if we go back
279
00:12:13,688 --> 00:12:16,221
and jump back to William
Hartnell's time,
280
00:12:16,223 --> 00:12:19,758
he appeared on the Empire State
building for a brief moment.
281
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,460
The Empire State
building featured
282
00:12:21,462 --> 00:12:23,295
in "Doctor Who" in the story
called "The Chase."
283
00:12:23,297 --> 00:12:25,497
Which is quite an odd story.
284
00:12:25,499 --> 00:12:27,799
It seems to just be an excuse
285
00:12:27,801 --> 00:12:30,335
for the production team
at the time
286
00:12:30,337 --> 00:12:33,038
to visit lots of locations
in a hurry.
287
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,406
And then, at one point,
288
00:12:34,408 --> 00:12:36,408
the TARDIS lands on top of
the Empire State building.
289
00:12:36,410 --> 00:12:38,978
So the Doctor did have
some history there.
290
00:12:38,980 --> 00:12:41,781
Hot diggity,
I knew I was right!
291
00:12:41,783 --> 00:12:45,051
You should be wearing
a police uniform.
292
00:12:45,053 --> 00:12:47,720
He then goes back in the TARDIS,
disappears,
293
00:12:47,722 --> 00:12:50,556
the Daleks then come out,
and they meet this guy,
294
00:12:50,558 --> 00:12:53,259
who is a, you know,
a hillbilly or a tourist,
295
00:12:53,261 --> 00:12:55,928
you want to call him,
from the United States,
296
00:12:55,930 --> 00:12:58,064
and it happens
to be Peter Purves.
297
00:12:58,066 --> 00:13:01,001
Say, you sure are
an ugly-looking friend.
298
00:13:01,003 --> 00:13:02,669
Do I played Morton Dill,
299
00:13:02,671 --> 00:13:05,338
who was a genuine hillybilly
visiting New York.
300
00:13:05,340 --> 00:13:07,774
You come all over
in blue spots.
301
00:13:07,776 --> 00:13:10,877
Where I probably had the most
execrable Alabaman accent,
302
00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:13,012
but I played it
for all it was worth.
303
00:13:13,014 --> 00:13:14,547
It really was quite fun.
304
00:13:16,184 --> 00:13:18,218
I know you're there
somewhere about.
305
00:13:18,220 --> 00:13:21,354
The idea that
they could recreate this
306
00:13:21,356 --> 00:13:24,859
all in one week was perhaps
slightly ambitious.
307
00:13:24,861 --> 00:13:26,727
I think it works
quite successfully,
308
00:13:26,729 --> 00:13:28,062
from what I remember.
309
00:13:28,064 --> 00:13:32,099
But you know, I think
overambition has always been
310
00:13:32,101 --> 00:13:35,736
"Doctor Who's" great curse
and great virtue.
311
00:13:35,738 --> 00:13:37,838
Why not create
the Empire State building
312
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,873
in the corner of
a tiny studio somewhere?
313
00:13:43,845 --> 00:13:46,780
That's real clever
how they done that.
314
00:13:46,782 --> 00:13:49,449
The United Nations
have issued an edict
315
00:13:49,451 --> 00:13:52,485
asking the citizens
of the world not to panic.
316
00:13:52,487 --> 00:13:54,488
The newsreader Trinity Wells,
I mean, you know
317
00:13:54,490 --> 00:13:56,723
whenever you see her that
it's a global catastrophe.
318
00:13:56,725 --> 00:13:58,592
The President is said
to be furious
319
00:13:58,594 --> 00:14:00,929
that Great Britain has taken
unilateral action.
320
00:14:00,931 --> 00:14:03,765
Trinity Wells...
321
00:14:03,767 --> 00:14:06,067
appeared in more
"Doctor Who" episodes
322
00:14:06,069 --> 00:14:07,736
than just about anyone else.
323
00:14:07,738 --> 00:14:10,372
So far there has been
no explanation
324
00:14:10,374 --> 00:14:13,708
of the 26 planets which have
appeared in the sky.
325
00:14:13,710 --> 00:14:15,911
It's a very simple narrative
device, I suppose,
326
00:14:15,913 --> 00:14:18,814
that works extremely well, that
you have an American newsreader,
327
00:14:18,816 --> 00:14:21,550
so, suddenly, you feel like this
news is all over the world.
328
00:14:21,552 --> 00:14:24,887
The military are on the lookout
for more spaceships.
329
00:14:24,889 --> 00:14:26,588
Until then, all flights
330
00:14:26,590 --> 00:14:28,657
in North American airspace
have been grounded.
331
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:32,694
Of course, it's filmed in
a small booth in Cardiff.
332
00:14:32,696 --> 00:14:38,466
She's always there when things
are at their absolute worst.
333
00:14:38,468 --> 00:14:40,334
It's midnight here in New York.
334
00:14:40,336 --> 00:14:42,236
The United Nations has gathered.
335
00:14:42,238 --> 00:14:43,804
England has provided them
336
00:14:43,806 --> 00:14:45,505
with absolute proof
337
00:14:45,507 --> 00:14:48,441
that the massive weapons
of destruction do exist.
338
00:14:48,443 --> 00:14:50,410
And she reports it...
339
00:14:50,412 --> 00:14:53,747
with a sort of, you know,
"It's okay, planet."
340
00:14:53,749 --> 00:14:56,483
You know, "This is
what's happening.
341
00:14:56,485 --> 00:14:59,753
We will watch this situation,
but carefully."
342
00:14:59,755 --> 00:15:01,988
And not everything is fine.
343
00:15:01,990 --> 00:15:05,559
There's no known connection
to the Doctor,
344
00:15:05,561 --> 00:15:08,495
but why it's always her,
I think,
345
00:15:08,497 --> 00:15:11,431
is a really interesting
question.
346
00:15:11,433 --> 00:15:13,466
We are warning anyone
and everyone --
347
00:15:13,468 --> 00:15:15,702
stay away from the cars.
348
00:15:15,704 --> 00:15:17,703
Repeat, stay away
from your cars.
349
00:15:17,705 --> 00:15:21,373
Let's see, over the years,
Trinity has commented on --
350
00:15:21,375 --> 00:15:24,543
I can't -- let's see how
many I can remember.
351
00:15:24,545 --> 00:15:26,511
There's the Atmos.
I remember the Atmos cars.
352
00:15:26,513 --> 00:15:29,247
With the freeways blocked
by Atmos cars,
353
00:15:29,249 --> 00:15:31,015
populations of major cities
354
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:34,620
are now walking across open
country to escape the fumes.
355
00:15:34,622 --> 00:15:37,623
It is being likened
to a biblical plague.
356
00:15:37,625 --> 00:15:39,425
Some are calling this
the End of Days.
357
00:15:39,427 --> 00:15:42,629
There was the Slitheens.
358
00:15:42,631 --> 00:15:44,164
That was my first one.
359
00:15:44,166 --> 00:15:45,699
The council is voting.
360
00:15:45,701 --> 00:15:47,768
The results should be known
any second now.
361
00:15:47,769 --> 00:15:50,504
The development of the
character then went
362
00:15:50,505 --> 00:15:53,720
to getting the call to do
Sarah Jane.
363
00:15:53,745 --> 00:15:55,702
The President has walked out
364
00:15:55,727 --> 00:15:58,950
of the White House and is
apparently holding hands with
365
00:15:58,975 --> 00:16:00,900
the wife of the Prime Minister.
366
00:16:00,925 --> 00:16:04,301
Then I got a call to do
Torchwood, which was like,
367
00:16:04,326 --> 00:16:06,055
"Oh, wow, so cool!"
368
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,203
'Cause that's the
really grown-up one.
369
00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:10,331
The children of America
are saying:
370
00:16:10,832 --> 00:16:15,967
two three four,
zero zero zero zero.
371
00:16:16,067 --> 00:16:19,469
I do believe there is something
kind of unanswered, really,
372
00:16:19,471 --> 00:16:21,805
in exactly why
that character is there
373
00:16:21,807 --> 00:16:23,974
and why she pops up
when she does.
374
00:16:23,976 --> 00:16:26,143
I wouldn't be surprised if,
at some point in the future,
375
00:16:26,145 --> 00:16:27,611
there's more to that character.
376
00:16:27,613 --> 00:16:29,513
But that is not a hint.
That's just a guess.
377
00:16:29,515 --> 00:16:31,982
Because she's always there when
things are going really bad.
378
00:16:31,984 --> 00:16:33,683
Maybe she's the cause
of these things.
379
00:16:33,685 --> 00:16:35,752
I don't know, but she's
always there, regardless.
380
00:16:36,881 --> 00:16:38,136
In the Doctor's adventures,
381
00:16:38,137 --> 00:16:40,204
there is one adversary
that he has fought
382
00:16:40,206 --> 00:16:43,408
across time and space
and continues to do battle with
383
00:16:43,410 --> 00:16:46,077
across the whole of America.
384
00:16:46,079 --> 00:16:50,783
The Empire State building
must be completed in time.
385
00:16:50,785 --> 00:16:54,086
This human is our best option.
386
00:16:54,088 --> 00:16:57,123
"Daleks in Manhattan,"
which, as a title,
387
00:16:57,125 --> 00:16:59,792
does exactly what it says
on the tin.
388
00:17:02,929 --> 00:17:04,697
You're dealing
with New York City,
389
00:17:04,699 --> 00:17:06,866
one of the most iconic cities
in the United States.
390
00:17:06,868 --> 00:17:08,534
You're also dealing
with a building,
391
00:17:08,536 --> 00:17:09,935
the Empire State building,
392
00:17:09,937 --> 00:17:11,537
which is one of
the most iconic buildings.
393
00:17:15,023 --> 00:17:17,621
The design
of the Daleks from 2005
394
00:17:17,622 --> 00:17:20,556
had a slightly art deco
kind of feel to them,
395
00:17:20,558 --> 00:17:25,393
which somehow suggested
the Empire State building.
396
00:17:26,595 --> 00:17:29,130
Yaaaaah!
397
00:17:30,215 --> 00:17:32,584
What is the attraction
with Daleks
398
00:17:32,586 --> 00:17:34,519
and the Empire State building?
399
00:17:34,521 --> 00:17:36,855
'Cause they've been there
before.
400
00:17:36,857 --> 00:17:39,258
What keeps bringing them back?
401
00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:44,664
You know, is it a tower that can
produce and send signals?
402
00:17:44,666 --> 00:17:47,534
Is it something
that can receive signals?
403
00:17:47,536 --> 00:17:49,436
Is it a giant spaceship?
404
00:17:49,438 --> 00:17:51,704
Is it a rocket?
Who knows?
405
00:17:51,706 --> 00:17:55,809
You know, all that
art deco architecture
406
00:17:55,811 --> 00:17:58,178
in design in Manhattan,
407
00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:00,380
it fits with the Daleks somehow.
408
00:18:00,382 --> 00:18:03,284
The army awakes.
409
00:18:03,286 --> 00:18:05,920
There was a kind
of inevitability, perhaps,
410
00:18:05,922 --> 00:18:09,023
that we had to see those Daleks
in the Empire State building.
411
00:18:09,025 --> 00:18:11,125
I didn't get to go to New York.
412
00:18:11,127 --> 00:18:16,463
I stayed filming
in Cardiff, in Wales,
413
00:18:16,465 --> 00:18:18,232
uh, where it rains a lot.
414
00:18:20,268 --> 00:18:22,236
I spent a lot of time in Cardiff
filming "Doctor Who."
415
00:18:22,238 --> 00:18:24,171
I'm very fond of it.
416
00:18:24,173 --> 00:18:27,708
But the idea that we might get
to go to New York for a bit
417
00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:29,743
and do some filming
was very appealing.
418
00:18:29,745 --> 00:18:32,345
We were going to set up
Whooverville in Central Park,
419
00:18:32,347 --> 00:18:34,748
and we were going to film in
the Empire State building.
420
00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:36,683
Of course, we didn't,
inevitably.
421
00:18:36,685 --> 00:18:39,686
I think about three or four
people were sent to New York.
422
00:18:39,688 --> 00:18:41,020
Sorry, sorry.
423
00:18:41,022 --> 00:18:43,633
Can I just point out
our lovely producer Phil
424
00:18:43,634 --> 00:18:45,367
and our director James
425
00:18:45,809 --> 00:18:47,942
and our
special effects man Dave
426
00:18:47,944 --> 00:18:50,611
all got a nice weekend
in Manhattan.
427
00:18:50,613 --> 00:18:53,782
We are in a car park
in Penarth Leisure Centre.
428
00:18:56,587 --> 00:18:59,388
Draw your own conclusions.
429
00:18:59,390 --> 00:19:00,923
I'm ashamed.
430
00:19:00,925 --> 00:19:03,793
And a local dog just
wee'd on the TARDIS.
431
00:19:03,795 --> 00:19:05,494
So it wasn't quite
the trip to New York
432
00:19:05,496 --> 00:19:06,963
that we were hoping for.
433
00:19:06,965 --> 00:19:09,332
It was more of
a virtual trip to New York
434
00:19:09,334 --> 00:19:11,167
for the actual actors involved.
435
00:19:15,973 --> 00:19:18,442
It's real, it's now!
436
00:19:19,543 --> 00:19:21,678
Come on, you.
Where shall we go first?
437
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,746
I think our detour
just got longer.
438
00:19:23,748 --> 00:19:25,048
Stop there.
439
00:19:25,816 --> 00:19:27,083
Aah!
440
00:19:29,053 --> 00:19:31,012
From the top of the Empire
State building in Manhattan
441
00:19:31,013 --> 00:19:33,933
to deep underground in Utah,
the Doctor has traveled
442
00:19:33,934 --> 00:19:36,139
nationwide to take
on the Daleks.
443
00:19:36,651 --> 00:19:39,184
In "Doctor Who's" first year
back in 2005,
444
00:19:39,186 --> 00:19:41,420
there was an episode
set in America.
445
00:19:41,422 --> 00:19:44,222
Again, it wasn't filmed
in America.
446
00:19:44,224 --> 00:19:46,524
It was filmed in Cardiff again.
447
00:19:46,526 --> 00:19:50,194
In fact, in the bowels
of the Millennium Stadium.
448
00:19:50,296 --> 00:19:51,629
There were a few episodes filmed
449
00:19:51,631 --> 00:19:53,330
in the bowels of Cardiff's
Millennium Stadium.
450
00:19:53,832 --> 00:19:56,499
But then, I suppose one
mad man's underground base
451
00:19:56,501 --> 00:19:58,802
looks very much like another
mad man's underground base,
452
00:19:58,804 --> 00:20:00,537
it turns out.
453
00:20:00,539 --> 00:20:03,373
Away! Away!
454
00:20:03,375 --> 00:20:05,642
It was set in Utah
455
00:20:05,644 --> 00:20:09,046
in the far-flung future of 2012,
456
00:20:09,048 --> 00:20:12,249
which seems rather funny now.
457
00:20:12,251 --> 00:20:14,151
And that was --
458
00:20:14,153 --> 00:20:16,653
that reintroduced
the Daleks, of course.
459
00:20:16,655 --> 00:20:20,957
Doctor?
460
00:20:20,959 --> 00:20:22,792
Impossible.
461
00:20:22,794 --> 00:20:25,461
The Doctor?
462
00:20:28,232 --> 00:20:31,801
Exterminate!
Exterminate!
463
00:20:31,803 --> 00:20:33,302
Let me out!
464
00:20:33,304 --> 00:20:34,637
Exterminate!
465
00:20:34,639 --> 00:20:37,273
Sir, it's going to kill him!
It's talking.
466
00:20:37,275 --> 00:20:40,644
You are an enemy of the Daleks!
467
00:20:40,646 --> 00:20:42,612
You must be destroyed!
468
00:20:43,848 --> 00:20:45,848
That was in America, although
very underground in America.
469
00:20:45,850 --> 00:20:47,417
You didn't see a lot
of America in that one.
470
00:20:47,419 --> 00:20:51,254
And it was another Dalek
episode that led the Doctor
471
00:20:51,256 --> 00:20:54,390
to one of America's
most famous addresses.
472
00:20:54,392 --> 00:20:58,361
That all men
are created equal.
473
00:20:58,363 --> 00:21:01,398
Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln!
474
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,734
That just what I asked for!
The Gettysburg Address!
475
00:21:04,736 --> 00:21:07,904
The Doctor acquires
an incredibly useful bit of kit
476
00:21:07,906 --> 00:21:09,839
called
the Time-Space Visualiser,
477
00:21:09,841 --> 00:21:11,875
which can see
any event in history.
478
00:21:11,877 --> 00:21:14,345
You can dial up anything
and eavesdrop on it.
479
00:21:14,347 --> 00:21:16,614
For instance, you could dial up
the Gettysburg Address
480
00:21:16,616 --> 00:21:18,550
and see Lincoln
and actually go and visit it,
481
00:21:18,552 --> 00:21:20,885
which is exactly what the Doctor
and his companions did.
482
00:21:20,887 --> 00:21:25,024
So conceived and so dedicated,
483
00:21:25,026 --> 00:21:27,660
can long endure.
484
00:21:27,662 --> 00:21:32,498
We cannot hallow this ground.
485
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,700
Doctor, can I have a go?
Can I, can I, please?
486
00:21:34,702 --> 00:21:36,736
Yes, yes, yes, now,
all in good time, my dear.
487
00:21:36,738 --> 00:21:38,271
All in good time.
488
00:21:38,273 --> 00:21:39,972
There's something vaguely
489
00:21:39,974 --> 00:21:41,974
sort of unintentionally
educational there
490
00:21:41,976 --> 00:21:45,578
in that it'll focus on a moment
in history and sort of,
491
00:21:45,580 --> 00:21:48,948
uh, you're just expected
to kind of catch up on it.
492
00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:51,751
And I'm sure many children
have been sent
493
00:21:51,753 --> 00:21:55,289
scurrying to history books
or, these days, to Google.
494
00:21:55,291 --> 00:21:59,560
During his time in America,
the Doctor has visited
495
00:21:59,562 --> 00:22:01,662
more than just one famous
presidential address.
496
00:22:04,198 --> 00:22:05,965
I mean, obviously,
we're not going to go
497
00:22:05,967 --> 00:22:07,300
and film in the White House.
498
00:22:07,302 --> 00:22:09,202
It's impossible.
We'd just --
499
00:22:09,204 --> 00:22:12,472
you know, Obama wouldn't
have it, I'm sure.
500
00:22:12,474 --> 00:22:14,374
I mean, Obama, if you're
watching, if you ever want
501
00:22:14,376 --> 00:22:16,409
to invite us to the White House,
we would love to come.
502
00:22:16,411 --> 00:22:18,945
But the Oval Office
was a perfect replica.
503
00:22:24,952 --> 00:22:28,688
The designers
are so good on "Doctor Who."
504
00:22:28,690 --> 00:22:31,091
And the art department making
everything look so real.
505
00:22:31,093 --> 00:22:33,026
When we walked into
that Oval Office set,
506
00:22:33,028 --> 00:22:34,694
it felt like
we were really there.
507
00:22:34,696 --> 00:22:36,163
It just felt so, so surreal.
508
00:22:36,165 --> 00:22:38,332
Apparently, they did it all
to the right dimensions
509
00:22:38,334 --> 00:22:41,002
and had everything
in the right place.
510
00:22:41,004 --> 00:22:42,370
Yes!
511
00:22:42,372 --> 00:22:44,005
Look at this!
512
00:22:44,007 --> 00:22:45,406
What a set!
513
00:22:45,408 --> 00:22:47,709
You know, you've got a guy
there with Nixon's face on,
514
00:22:47,711 --> 00:22:49,945
so it was, you know,
utterly surreal,
515
00:22:49,947 --> 00:22:52,113
but brilliant, and it really
felt like we were there.
516
00:22:52,115 --> 00:22:54,715
And then you walk outside
and you're in rainy Cardiff,
517
00:22:54,717 --> 00:22:57,418
so it was a very,
very odd thing to do.
518
00:22:57,420 --> 00:22:59,286
Yeah, what a great set.
519
00:22:59,288 --> 00:23:01,355
Doctor, you have to give me
more than this.
520
00:23:01,357 --> 00:23:03,124
I didn't have
any more than this.
521
00:23:03,126 --> 00:23:05,960
What were doing
to Apollo 11?
522
00:23:05,962 --> 00:23:10,031
I played George Bush,
I played Eisenhower,
523
00:23:10,033 --> 00:23:12,600
but I've never actually been
in my own Oval Office,
524
00:23:12,602 --> 00:23:14,402
so here I am now finally.
525
00:23:14,404 --> 00:23:16,838
And it's absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful.
526
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,540
Oh, look, this is
the Oval Office.
527
00:23:19,542 --> 00:23:21,342
I was looking for the...
528
00:23:21,344 --> 00:23:24,479
Uh, oblong room.
529
00:23:24,481 --> 00:23:26,647
I-I-I'll just be off then.
530
00:23:26,649 --> 00:23:27,615
Shall I?
531
00:23:35,954 --> 00:23:37,394
One of the things
I really, really
532
00:23:37,395 --> 00:23:38,661
want to do this year
was to make sure
533
00:23:38,662 --> 00:23:41,042
there's a huge visual contrast
between each show.
534
00:23:41,043 --> 00:23:42,944
And it suddenly occurred to me
we hadn't done a Western
535
00:23:42,946 --> 00:23:47,215
for years, not since the 1960s,
536
00:23:47,217 --> 00:23:49,985
when they attempted it in
a black-and-white studio.
537
00:23:49,987 --> 00:23:52,788
And I just thought, can we do
a "Doctor Who" Western?
538
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,461
You could fake New York.
We can do that.
539
00:23:58,463 --> 00:24:00,797
You can do that
with a few actors,
540
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,267
but you can't fake that vista,
those distant mountains,
541
00:24:03,269 --> 00:24:05,135
that heat simmer, that light.
542
00:24:05,137 --> 00:24:07,337
We can't pretend.
543
00:24:07,339 --> 00:24:12,175
So, for absolute,
maximum authenticity
544
00:24:12,177 --> 00:24:15,912
with this most iconic moment
in American history
545
00:24:15,914 --> 00:24:18,581
and a landmark in their culture,
546
00:24:18,583 --> 00:24:20,250
we decided to go to Spain.
547
00:24:34,297 --> 00:24:37,099
Despite the fact that
Matt Smith's legs
548
00:24:37,101 --> 00:24:40,502
were clearly designed
to be fitted round a horse,
549
00:24:40,504 --> 00:24:43,172
he is the least probable
replacement
550
00:24:43,174 --> 00:24:46,442
for Clint Eastwood
in an action-packed western.
551
00:24:46,444 --> 00:24:50,045
So I was just thrilled to put
him into a western town.
552
00:24:50,047 --> 00:24:51,847
That's not right.
553
00:24:51,849 --> 00:24:54,350
And just before
I go into the saloon
554
00:24:54,352 --> 00:24:58,754
in the scene, I said,
"Can I have a toothpick?"
555
00:24:58,756 --> 00:25:01,090
'Cause I wanted to look like
a, you know, cowboy.
556
00:25:01,092 --> 00:25:04,293
And then I thought, well, you
know, as always with the Doctor,
557
00:25:04,295 --> 00:25:07,129
you've got to sort of flip
and reinvent whatever it is.
558
00:25:09,699 --> 00:25:13,102
Tea,
but the strong stuff.
559
00:25:13,104 --> 00:25:14,870
Leave the bag in.
560
00:25:14,872 --> 00:25:16,638
There's a little bit of business
561
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,607
that Matt does
with a toothpick,
562
00:25:18,609 --> 00:25:21,644
which he chews wrongly
and it gets stuck in his mouth,
563
00:25:21,646 --> 00:25:24,546
which sums up perfectly
why he's not a western hero,
564
00:25:24,548 --> 00:25:27,182
yet the Doctor would always
believe that he is.
565
00:25:29,752 --> 00:25:32,287
What you doing here, son?
566
00:25:32,289 --> 00:25:34,488
Son? Ha!
567
00:25:34,490 --> 00:25:36,157
You can stay.
568
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:39,360
In that episode, the Doctor
gets to play at being a cowboy,
569
00:25:39,362 --> 00:25:41,628
and of course,
it's sort of a silly cowboy.
570
00:25:41,630 --> 00:25:43,363
It's not a very good cowboy,
571
00:25:43,365 --> 00:25:45,899
but he sort of puts his hands
in his trousers
572
00:25:45,901 --> 00:25:47,867
and wears a Stetson
and all that,
573
00:25:47,869 --> 00:25:50,270
but he's kind of just
a bit silly with it.
574
00:25:50,272 --> 00:25:52,105
Action.
575
00:25:52,107 --> 00:25:54,741
Can I borrow
your horse?
576
00:25:54,743 --> 00:25:57,944
Official marshal business.
577
00:25:57,946 --> 00:26:00,781
He's called Joshua.
From the Bible.
578
00:26:00,783 --> 00:26:02,750
It means "the deliverer."
579
00:26:02,752 --> 00:26:04,585
No, he isn't.
What?
580
00:26:04,587 --> 00:26:06,820
I speak horse.
He's called Susan.
581
00:26:06,822 --> 00:26:10,290
And he wants you to respect
his life choices.
582
00:26:10,292 --> 00:26:12,125
It's a village,
it's a town.
583
00:26:12,127 --> 00:26:13,527
It's a proper western town
584
00:26:13,529 --> 00:26:15,529
with a saloon
and a bank and everything.
585
00:26:15,531 --> 00:26:17,531
You know, The Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly was filmed there,
586
00:26:17,533 --> 00:26:21,101
and it's got so much
of a film history to it,
587
00:26:21,103 --> 00:26:25,005
but there was no imagination
needed to film there.
588
00:26:25,007 --> 00:26:27,040
I've got a phobia of horses.
589
00:26:27,042 --> 00:26:28,708
Karen, just stroke it.
590
00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:30,443
I've never stroked
a horse before.
591
00:26:30,445 --> 00:26:31,778
I don't really want
to face my --
592
00:26:31,780 --> 00:26:33,146
they can smell
fear though, right?
593
00:26:33,148 --> 00:26:35,115
Don't be frightened.
594
00:26:35,117 --> 00:26:37,417
She just hates you.
595
00:26:38,988 --> 00:26:41,055
Oh! Oh, my God!
596
00:26:41,057 --> 00:26:42,923
Can you ride?
597
00:26:42,925 --> 00:26:45,292
Me? I-I'm scared
of horses.
598
00:26:45,294 --> 00:26:47,061
He's friendly.
He's lovely.
599
00:26:47,063 --> 00:26:48,729
Do you touch them there?
600
00:26:48,731 --> 00:26:50,731
God, I'm doing it,
like in the films.
601
00:26:50,733 --> 00:26:52,633
Isn't that great?
We could feed him an apple.
602
00:26:52,635 --> 00:26:54,401
Do you want to feed him an apple?
No.
603
00:26:54,403 --> 00:26:56,570
And action!
604
00:26:59,308 --> 00:27:01,976
There's a great scene
605
00:27:01,978 --> 00:27:05,012
where the Doctor's frog-marched
Kahler-Jex
606
00:27:05,014 --> 00:27:06,813
to leave the town.
607
00:27:06,815 --> 00:27:09,249
You wouldn't.
608
00:27:09,251 --> 00:27:11,518
I genuinely don't know.
609
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:12,920
Doctor?
610
00:27:12,922 --> 00:27:16,123
And Amy quite strongly disagrees
with what he's doing,
611
00:27:16,125 --> 00:27:18,459
so pulls a gun on him.
612
00:27:19,962 --> 00:27:22,763
Let him
come back, Doctor.
613
00:27:22,765 --> 00:27:24,898
Or what?
You won't shoot me, Amy.
614
00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:26,800
How do you know?
Maybe I've changed.
615
00:27:26,802 --> 00:27:28,569
I mean, you've clearly
been taking
616
00:27:28,571 --> 00:27:30,471
stupid lessons since
I saw you last!
617
00:27:30,473 --> 00:27:32,840
I didn't mean to do that.
618
00:27:34,043 --> 00:27:36,610
Everyone who
isn't an American,
619
00:27:36,612 --> 00:27:37,745
drop your gun.
620
00:27:37,747 --> 00:27:39,180
It's brilliant.
621
00:27:39,182 --> 00:27:41,181
I think it is the way
Karen would wield a gun,
622
00:27:41,183 --> 00:27:43,016
just by flailing it around,
623
00:27:43,018 --> 00:27:45,052
as if she kind of
just made of --
624
00:27:45,054 --> 00:27:46,720
made of spaghetti.
625
00:27:46,722 --> 00:27:48,755
But it was a really fun
scene to film.
626
00:27:48,757 --> 00:27:50,657
It's always good,
'cause, you know,
627
00:27:50,659 --> 00:27:53,159
you've got loads of people there
dressed as cowboys,
628
00:27:53,161 --> 00:27:54,860
and you're in the middle of it.
629
00:27:54,862 --> 00:27:56,963
But I think Karen was really
funny in that scene.
630
00:27:56,965 --> 00:27:58,298
Excuse me, can I --
631
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:00,133
I told you to just hold it.
Don't talk to me.
632
00:28:00,135 --> 00:28:01,501
I'm sorry, madam.
633
00:28:01,503 --> 00:28:03,069
God!
634
00:28:03,071 --> 00:28:04,771
Let's go.
635
00:28:04,773 --> 00:28:06,372
Keep up, keep up.
636
00:28:06,374 --> 00:28:10,009
One of the oddest
moments for, I think,
637
00:28:10,011 --> 00:28:12,444
any "Doctor Who" viewer --
638
00:28:12,446 --> 00:28:16,048
okay, sorry, guys, girls.
This is it.
639
00:28:16,050 --> 00:28:20,585
You have William Hartnell,
who goes to the O.K. Corral,
640
00:28:20,587 --> 00:28:22,854
to be taken care of
by the dentist,
641
00:28:22,856 --> 00:28:25,790
who happens to be
a gunslinger himself, right.
642
00:28:25,792 --> 00:28:27,459
But then what happens?
643
00:28:27,461 --> 00:28:29,628
You've got Peter Purves,
the character of Steven,
644
00:28:29,630 --> 00:28:31,497
and all of them end up going off
645
00:28:31,499 --> 00:28:34,299
and having a big kind of
sing-along around a piano,
646
00:28:34,301 --> 00:28:36,068
and it's the weirdest thing
647
00:28:36,070 --> 00:28:38,203
that ever goes on
in the world of "Doctor Who."
648
00:28:38,205 --> 00:28:40,305
"The gunfighters" is --
649
00:28:40,307 --> 00:28:43,475
it's certainly not typical
of "Doctor Who" stories.
650
00:28:43,477 --> 00:28:45,276
It's a bit of a musical.

playing Americans,
654

with varying success,
has to be said.
655

Not just yet, Doc.
656
00:28:58,724 --> 00:29:00,924
We haven't had our little talk
about brother Rubin,
657
00:29:00,926 --> 00:29:02,425
the late brother Rubin.
658
00:29:02,427 --> 00:29:04,227
This was one of
the wonderful things
659
00:29:04,229 --> 00:29:05,895
about the early "Doctor Whos"
660
00:29:05,897 --> 00:29:07,897
was that there was
a serendipity about it,
661
00:29:07,899 --> 00:29:10,066
because you never knew where
the TARDIS would end up.
662
00:29:10,068 --> 00:29:11,901
Anyway, we ended up
in Tombstone.
663
00:29:11,903 --> 00:29:13,403
I dress rather --
664
00:29:13,405 --> 00:29:17,006

and found to be rather
a favorite.
678
00:29:45,296 --> 00:29:47,831
One of the things that makes
America an exciting location
679
00:29:47,833 --> 00:29:53,136
for "Doctor Who" is that
it's just so very good-looking.
680
00:29:53,138 --> 00:29:55,438
What is the most
iconic thing that says
681
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:56,840
you're definitely in America,
682
00:29:56,842 --> 00:29:58,508
we absolutely
have flown out there?
683
00:29:58,510 --> 00:30:02,345
So we went for, you know,
the valley of the Gods,
684
00:30:02,347 --> 00:30:06,951
and it just gave it such scale,
such size,
685
00:30:06,953 --> 00:30:08,586
such cinematic grandeur.
686
00:30:11,724 --> 00:30:13,158
Howdy.
687
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,759
A/B common marker.

It's an extraordinary,
expansive, wonderful

00:30:21,068 --> 00:30:25,437
piece of land,
piece of the world,
690
00:30:25,439 --> 00:30:28,240
and I think it gave the episode
such great scope.
691
00:30:34,481 --> 00:30:35,513
Yeah, thank you.
692
00:30:35,515 --> 00:30:37,582
We cut anyway,
and then we...
693
00:30:37,584 --> 00:30:39,718
First shot of the day.
694
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,420
Yeah, it was basically just
running for my life,
695
00:30:42,422 --> 00:30:43,688
desperate woman, girl.
696
00:30:43,690 --> 00:30:45,924
Suspect directly ahead.
697
00:30:45,926 --> 00:30:48,460
Coming to you now,
over.
698
00:30:50,896 --> 00:30:53,598
It's the altitude,
which is why I'm out of breath.
699
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:54,599
So that's why.
700
00:30:54,601 --> 00:30:56,301
It's not me being unfit at all.
701
00:30:56,303 --> 00:31:00,338
We were just really excited to
be in a helicopter to film it.
702
00:31:00,340 --> 00:31:03,141
And I didn't get to see --
actually, it was quite nice.
703
00:31:03,143 --> 00:31:05,477
I had a lie-in that morning,
and Karen was
704
00:31:05,479 --> 00:31:08,313
running around the desert
being chased by a helicopter.
705
00:31:08,315 --> 00:31:11,683
It was one of those things
where we were just like,
706
00:31:11,685 --> 00:31:14,585
that means we're basically
filming a big movie.
707
00:31:30,335 --> 00:31:32,769
What's brilliant about
it is it really gives it
708
00:31:32,771 --> 00:31:35,772
the scale of the place,
you know, how vast it is.
709
00:31:35,774 --> 00:31:37,340
It goes on like that for miles.
710
00:31:37,342 --> 00:31:40,610
Dear Arthur had to --
he got to go
711
00:31:40,612 --> 00:31:43,679
and film in the dam there
up in Utah,
712
00:31:43,681 --> 00:31:45,781
and, I mean, it looks like
he's sort of run out
713
00:31:45,783 --> 00:31:47,483
in a James Bond movie
or something.
714
00:31:47,485 --> 00:31:50,019
It wouldn't surprise me if
James Bond's been filmed there,
715
00:31:50,021 --> 00:31:52,255
or some great big movie has,
because it -- again,
716
00:31:52,257 --> 00:31:54,190
as a sort of piece of
manmade structure,
717
00:31:54,192 --> 00:31:55,558
it's sort of --
it's just incredible.
718
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,093
Action!
719
00:31:57,095 --> 00:31:58,661
Action.
720
00:32:04,501 --> 00:32:07,437
They got a bit edgy
about me running around,
721
00:32:07,439 --> 00:32:10,340
'cause I wanted to look like
I was really knackered
722
00:32:10,342 --> 00:32:12,509
and really, you know,
really tired,
723
00:32:12,511 --> 00:32:14,077
so obviously I'm
running up and down,
724
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:17,714
and every time I got towards
the edge to kind of --
725
00:32:17,716 --> 00:32:20,851
to look over,
could feel everyone there who
726
00:32:20,853 --> 00:32:24,155
had responsibility for us,
all the grown-ups,
727
00:32:24,157 --> 00:32:27,192
as we call them,
just kind of tensing up
728
00:32:27,194 --> 00:32:31,597
and being like, "You don't have
to hit it so hard over there."
729
00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:33,833
Tell Arthur
to give us a good
730
00:32:33,835 --> 00:32:36,703
four-beats look over the edge,
but he shouldn't
731
00:32:36,705 --> 00:32:38,772
throw himself
against the wall.
732
00:32:38,774 --> 00:32:40,273
It doesn't matter
at this distance.
733
00:32:40,275 --> 00:32:43,109
There was no chance of me
falling off it.
734
00:32:43,111 --> 00:32:47,180
There was a small chance of me
falling off it, but, you know,
735
00:32:47,182 --> 00:32:50,350
I'm sure someone would have
tried to catch me
736
00:32:50,352 --> 00:32:52,819
if I had have gone.
737
00:32:52,821 --> 00:32:56,322
But it was really -- you know,
I didn't want to go over there.
738
00:32:56,324 --> 00:32:58,892
It was really high
and actually pretty scary.
739
00:33:05,533 --> 00:33:08,301
America has played
an important part
740
00:33:08,303 --> 00:33:11,004
in the Doctor's life,
so it's maybe
741
00:33:11,006 --> 00:33:14,841
not surprising where
the Doctor came to die.
742
00:33:14,843 --> 00:33:17,677
We filmed the Doctor dying,
which actually
743
00:33:17,679 --> 00:33:20,914
turned out to be the Doctor
as a teselecta dying.
744
00:33:20,916 --> 00:33:23,716
So I'm going to get my
arms back, I'll look at you,
745
00:33:23,718 --> 00:33:25,552
and I'm going to go,
gvvvvv, vroom.
746
00:33:25,554 --> 00:33:26,553
Okay, exactly.
747
00:33:26,555 --> 00:33:28,154
Action.
748
00:33:29,324 --> 00:33:30,389
Doctor!
749
00:33:30,391 --> 00:33:32,091
Amy! Stay back!
750
00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:35,328
The Doctor said stay back!
751
00:33:37,865 --> 00:33:39,165
Doctor!
752
00:33:43,370 --> 00:33:45,872
I'm sorry.
753
00:33:45,874 --> 00:33:48,408
It's just a bunch of us
754
00:33:48,410 --> 00:33:51,945
kind of talking and really
getting, you know,
755
00:33:51,947 --> 00:33:54,781
getting into real
character stuff.
756
00:34:00,889 --> 00:34:02,723
Oh, my God, he died.
757
00:34:02,725 --> 00:34:04,391
It's not possible.
758
00:34:04,393 --> 00:34:08,195
There's all the adventure side
of the stories,
759
00:34:08,197 --> 00:34:09,663
but at the heart
760
00:34:09,665 --> 00:34:13,667
of that story is
these four characters,
761
00:34:13,669 --> 00:34:18,138
and when we see the Doctor die,
it was such a huge --
762
00:34:18,140 --> 00:34:21,342
such a huge event
within the story.
763
00:34:21,344 --> 00:34:24,845
Doctor!
764
00:34:24,847 --> 00:34:26,781
Well done.
Good, cut there. Cut.
765
00:34:26,783 --> 00:34:28,182
And I think everyone
766
00:34:28,184 --> 00:34:29,317
was on really good form.
767
00:34:29,319 --> 00:34:31,385
It was great to be able
to film that in America.
768
00:34:31,387 --> 00:34:33,354
Yeah, it's wonderful,
I've got to say.
769
00:34:33,356 --> 00:34:35,657
It's, uh...you know,
we've got these
770
00:34:35,659 --> 00:34:36,825
wonderful locations.
771
00:34:36,827 --> 00:34:38,827
This place is -- I mean,
you know,
772
00:34:38,829 --> 00:34:40,462
you've seen it for yourselves.
773
00:34:40,464 --> 00:34:41,996
It's just devastatingly vast
774
00:34:41,998 --> 00:34:42,997
and epic.
775
00:34:42,999 --> 00:34:44,933
And that's when
I close my eyes,
776
00:34:44,935 --> 00:34:47,369
exactly.
But this is where we lose it.
777
00:34:47,371 --> 00:34:50,138
Exactly. At that point there,
it becomes a different story.
778
00:34:50,140 --> 00:34:51,372
Yeah. Yeah.
779
00:34:51,374 --> 00:34:55,176
So there's this, you know,
huge secret running
780
00:34:55,178 --> 00:34:58,879
throughout the whole series
about his death,
781
00:34:58,881 --> 00:35:02,783
but we didn't know how that
resolved until very,
782
00:35:02,785 --> 00:35:04,985
very late on in filming.
783
00:35:04,987 --> 00:35:08,088
So when they were
filming the scenes
784
00:35:08,090 --> 00:35:11,057
with the Doctor
and the astronaut,
785
00:35:11,059 --> 00:35:12,792
we had no idea
what they were saying
786
00:35:12,794 --> 00:35:14,127
and weren't allowed to know.
787
00:35:14,129 --> 00:35:15,428
You get used to it, though.
788
00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:17,596
It's like, "Oh,
this is all the secret stuff
789
00:35:17,598 --> 00:35:19,098
they're filming.
Okay, fine.
790
00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:20,365
I'll ignore that.
Otherwise, it'll just
791
00:35:20,367 --> 00:35:21,700
eat me up and I'll
want to know about it."
792
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,669
Day three.
In America.
793
00:35:23,671 --> 00:35:27,806
It's pretty cold.
Missing the good stuff right here.
794
00:35:27,808 --> 00:35:28,941
Oh, dear.
795
00:35:28,943 --> 00:35:31,143
So...
How's it going out there, Matt?
796
00:35:31,145 --> 00:35:32,311
It's day three in Amer--
797
00:35:32,313 --> 00:35:33,645
we've already done that.
798
00:35:33,647 --> 00:35:35,114
I know,
I felt a bit left out.
799
00:35:35,116 --> 00:35:36,515
Oh, come in.
800
00:35:36,517 --> 00:35:38,518
Come, get in this shot, you.
801
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,386
Why are you in sun--
it isn't hot, Arthur.
802
00:35:40,388 --> 00:35:42,522
I'm trying to
pretend it's hot.
803
00:35:42,524 --> 00:35:45,091
Yeah. He's got sensitive eyes,
apparently.
804
00:35:45,093 --> 00:35:47,393
Arthur went in
the water today.
805
00:35:47,395 --> 00:35:49,629
That was pretty cold.
It is so cold here.
806
00:35:49,631 --> 00:35:52,498
And the burning of the boat
was just brilliant.
807
00:35:52,500 --> 00:35:54,400
We filmed there about
808
00:35:54,402 --> 00:35:55,501
4:00 in the morning.
809
00:35:55,503 --> 00:35:57,370
I mean, the light
in Utah is incredible.
810
00:35:57,372 --> 00:35:59,272
It was like the sort
of dawning of --
811
00:35:59,274 --> 00:36:00,840
like being on Mars or something.
812
00:36:00,842 --> 00:36:02,175
I mean, it was freezing cold,
813
00:36:02,177 --> 00:36:04,210
and poor Arthur had to
get in the water.
814
00:36:04,212 --> 00:36:07,113
Everyone was like,
"oh, are you all right
815
00:36:07,115 --> 00:36:08,648
in the cold of the water?"
816
00:36:08,650 --> 00:36:10,984
And I think I might have
milked it slightly,
817
00:36:10,986 --> 00:36:12,886
but I just couldn't
wait to get in.
818
00:36:12,888 --> 00:36:14,254
It was great.
819
00:36:14,256 --> 00:36:16,490
We had to do it at sunrise
to make it look like sunset,
820
00:36:16,492 --> 00:36:17,991
so we got there really
early in the morning.
821
00:36:17,993 --> 00:36:21,094
It served us brilliantly
in the episode
822
00:36:21,096 --> 00:36:23,295
and gives the ep such expanse
823
00:36:23,297 --> 00:36:24,597
and scale and style.
824
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:26,899
Just having the image
of that burning boat
825
00:36:26,901 --> 00:36:29,301
and sending it out there
826
00:36:29,303 --> 00:36:32,237
is just --
it was great to film.
827
00:36:34,254 --> 00:36:37,236
Another great moment in
the world of "Doctor Who"
828
00:36:37,238 --> 00:36:41,801
was the first time that
"Doctor Who" went to Comic-Con.
829
00:36:48,482 --> 00:36:50,093
If the world was a little more
like Comic-Con,
830
00:36:50,095 --> 00:36:51,561
the world would be
a better place,
831
00:36:51,563 --> 00:36:53,163
because there's a lack
of cynicism there
832
00:36:53,165 --> 00:36:54,397
which is just about celebration.
833
00:36:54,399 --> 00:36:56,099
Hello!
Hello!
834
00:36:56,101 --> 00:36:57,500
The only time
I actually got to
835
00:36:57,502 --> 00:37:00,203
physically go to America
for "Doctor Who" was --
836
00:37:00,205 --> 00:37:01,771
I'd already finished filming
837
00:37:01,773 --> 00:37:03,940
and I went to Comic-Con
in San Diego
838
00:37:03,942 --> 00:37:06,376
in 2009.
839
00:37:07,491 --> 00:37:09,391
And it was
the only time David
840
00:37:09,393 --> 00:37:10,592
was actually in the states,
841
00:37:10,594 --> 00:37:12,928
to something to do with
"Doctor Who,"
842
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:16,298
and he was stuck in a hotel room
and a convention center!
843
00:37:16,300 --> 00:37:18,367
He didn't get to
go do anything!
844
00:37:18,369 --> 00:37:20,002
It was really
quite overwhelming.
845
00:37:25,342 --> 00:37:28,778
It took us a little
by surprise, I think.
846
00:37:31,216 --> 00:37:34,918
As someone involved in the show
and someone who's
847
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,021
a great fan of the show as well,
you want to sort of --
848
00:37:39,023 --> 00:37:42,325
it was fun to go over there
and proselytize
849
00:37:42,327 --> 00:37:45,528
a bit about it
and see its reach growing.
850
00:37:45,530 --> 00:37:47,430
Hi, David!
Hi!
851
00:37:51,737 --> 00:37:54,070
You're all very lovely people,
aren't you?
852
00:37:55,774 --> 00:37:58,542
I was so -- I didn't realize
there was going to be seats.
853
00:37:58,544 --> 00:38:00,210
I was going to do
stage-diving.
854
00:38:03,283 --> 00:38:06,885
Now, I was there
with "Torchwood"
855
00:38:06,887 --> 00:38:09,822
because we were there
for the first time,
856
00:38:09,824 --> 00:38:11,023
but also I was there
857
00:38:11,025 --> 00:38:13,426
because I was being put into
some elements
858
00:38:13,428 --> 00:38:16,029
of the "Doctor Who" world,
because Captain Jack
859
00:38:16,031 --> 00:38:18,832
obviously flips and crosses over
from both worlds.
860
00:38:18,834 --> 00:38:20,466
The full plan of the day,
you're going to see
861
00:38:20,468 --> 00:38:21,801
someone else that
I'm going to ask
862
00:38:21,803 --> 00:38:23,136
my lovely friend
to stay for that.
863
00:38:23,138 --> 00:38:24,571
John Barrowman,
ladies and gentlemen.
864
00:38:24,573 --> 00:38:28,040
And we were
all there on the panel
865
00:38:28,042 --> 00:38:31,510
and we came on and the crowd
just went nuts.
866
00:38:31,512 --> 00:38:34,912
Aw, isn't that cute?
I'd kiss him, but, no.
867
00:38:34,914 --> 00:38:36,414
And we talked for a little bit
868
00:38:36,416 --> 00:38:38,416
and then they started
shouting stuff,
869
00:38:38,418 --> 00:38:40,685
and I looked at David
and David looked at me
870
00:38:40,687 --> 00:38:42,854
and we just laid
the biggest smackerooney
871
00:38:42,856 --> 00:38:43,955
on each others' lips,
872
00:38:43,957 --> 00:38:46,858
and the crowd went nuts.
873
00:38:54,202 --> 00:38:56,936
I've slightly got all flustered,
I really have.
874
00:38:58,073 --> 00:38:59,539
I've been waiting
for that for years.
875
00:38:59,541 --> 00:39:01,140
Thanks, David.
876
00:39:01,142 --> 00:39:02,875
It wasn't John
and David kissing,
877
00:39:02,877 --> 00:39:04,677
it was the Doctor
and Jack kissing.
878
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:06,613
It was a little bit
of John and David,
879
00:39:06,615 --> 00:39:08,248
and it was really,
really good,
880
00:39:08,250 --> 00:39:10,350
and I hope David thought
it was good, too.
881
00:39:10,352 --> 00:39:13,271
For the American launch of
series five of "Doctor Who,"
882
00:39:13,272 --> 00:39:14,939
some of the cast
traveled stateside
883
00:39:14,941 --> 00:39:16,741
and were surprised by
the warm welcome
884
00:39:16,743 --> 00:39:18,142
they received.
885
00:39:18,144 --> 00:39:20,979
First press trip me, Karen,
and Steven made to New York
886
00:39:20,981 --> 00:39:23,782
is probably one of the greatest
experiences of my life.
887
00:39:23,784 --> 00:39:25,751
I mean, I fell in love
with New York.
888
00:39:35,528 --> 00:39:37,595
Where are we, Karen?
We're in NYC.
889
00:39:37,597 --> 00:39:39,964
NYC, baby, New York City.
Just, you know,
890
00:39:39,966 --> 00:39:42,133
casually walking down
an NYC street.
891
00:39:42,135 --> 00:39:44,034
And we're about to go into
The New York Times
892
00:39:44,036 --> 00:39:46,503
and talk to them
about "Doctor Who."
893
00:39:46,505 --> 00:39:48,405
It's the best show in England,
we want to make it
894
00:39:48,407 --> 00:39:50,206
the best show in America,
and look who it is!
895
00:39:50,208 --> 00:39:53,543
It's Steven Moffat.
Oh, no!
896
00:39:53,545 --> 00:39:54,777
Hi, Steven!
897
00:39:54,779 --> 00:39:57,346
It feels like seconds,
it really does.
898
00:39:57,348 --> 00:40:02,151
So, Matt and Karen went out to
New York without me,
899
00:40:02,153 --> 00:40:03,353
which was nice.
900
00:40:05,756 --> 00:40:06,823
New York is amazing.
901
00:40:06,825 --> 00:40:08,058
And it's just exciting
902
00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:10,093
to bring the show here,
because it's brilliant
903
00:40:10,095 --> 00:40:12,463
and we've got a brilliant
first episode
904
00:40:12,465 --> 00:40:15,399
and we want people to get
into it like they should.
905
00:40:15,401 --> 00:40:18,636
And, look, man, the grates
and stuff, the fire --
906
00:40:18,638 --> 00:40:21,972
I just -- I just look back to
that day on the beach,
907
00:40:21,974 --> 00:40:25,443
our very first day filming,
and look where we are now,
908
00:40:25,445 --> 00:40:28,412
and all of this stuff has
happened in between,
909
00:40:28,414 --> 00:40:29,547
and it's just --
910
00:40:29,549 --> 00:40:31,082
it seemed impossible,
really.
911
00:40:31,084 --> 00:40:33,484
Yeah, it felt like it never
actually would sort of
912
00:40:33,486 --> 00:40:35,386
come to this,
if you know what I mean.
913
00:40:35,388 --> 00:40:38,289
We had no idea that
the fans would respond
914
00:40:38,291 --> 00:40:42,161
as vocally as they did and be
in such numbers as they were.
915
00:40:47,301 --> 00:40:48,094
There's a queue.
916
00:40:48,119 --> 00:40:50,513
Yeah, apparently there's a queue
right round the block,
917
00:40:50,572 --> 00:40:52,973
which is really exciting,
'cause we weren't sure
918
00:40:52,975 --> 00:40:54,908
is this is it?
How people were -- oh, God.
919
00:41:01,616 --> 00:41:04,685
Karen, Karen,
Matt! Karen!
920
00:41:04,687 --> 00:41:07,888
We've been standing here
all morning!
921
00:41:07,890 --> 00:41:09,356
It just blew my mind.
922
00:41:09,358 --> 00:41:10,657
There's people
waiting all night.
923
00:41:10,659 --> 00:41:12,993
Is that a first, Matt?
924
00:41:12,995 --> 00:41:14,828
That's my first head,
yeah, yeah.
925
00:41:16,031 --> 00:41:18,265
I did like a signing
in an Apple store.
926
00:41:21,237 --> 00:41:22,770
You know what?
I have to say,
927
00:41:22,772 --> 00:41:23,838
we've all been overwhelmed,
928
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,172
and I'm not just saying this.
929
00:41:25,174 --> 00:41:27,141
I know it sounds like
a kind of political, "hey!"
930
00:41:27,143 --> 00:41:28,743
But, like, we've been
overwhelmed by
931
00:41:28,745 --> 00:41:30,278
the welcome that
we've had in New York.
932
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,114
You guys are great.
You clap all the time.
933
00:41:32,116 --> 00:41:33,114
It's cool.
934
00:41:33,116 --> 00:41:35,016
I know!
935
00:41:35,018 --> 00:41:37,652
We need to get
some of this in England,
936
00:41:37,654 --> 00:41:38,653
I'll tell ya.
937
00:41:38,655 --> 00:41:40,222
It was surprising
938
00:41:40,224 --> 00:41:43,224
to know that they were
coming to New York,
939
00:41:43,226 --> 00:41:45,860
but very gratifying,
because it's --
940
00:41:45,862 --> 00:41:49,330
to me, it's just as much
a sign that Doctor Who is
941
00:41:49,332 --> 00:41:51,799
a success here
as it is overseas.
942
00:41:51,801 --> 00:41:53,901
And now he's on the sides
of buses in New York. It's wild.
943
00:41:53,903 --> 00:41:56,004
Yeah, it's --
you can't escape him,
944
00:41:56,006 --> 00:41:59,274
and he's made tweed fashionable,
which makes me very happy.
945
00:41:59,276 --> 00:42:00,742
And bow ties are very hip.
946
00:42:00,744 --> 00:42:01,943
I see it in Chelsea.
947
00:42:01,945 --> 00:42:03,645
I couldn't --
well, but --
948
00:42:03,647 --> 00:42:05,313
I'm not going to
go there.
949
00:42:05,315 --> 00:42:06,314
It was amazing.
950
00:42:06,316 --> 00:42:08,416
It was something
I'll never forget.
951
00:42:09,918 --> 00:42:11,252
With all of time
and space to explore,
952
00:42:11,254 --> 00:42:14,155
it seems the Doctor
can't help but keep
953
00:42:14,157 --> 00:42:15,823
returning to America.
954
00:42:15,825 --> 00:42:17,558
America is --
955
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,460
it's where so many of our
stories come from,
956
00:42:19,462 --> 00:42:21,528
so much of our sort of
cultural life comes from,
957
00:42:21,530 --> 00:42:23,063
that it would be weird
if we didn't
958
00:42:23,065 --> 00:42:24,698
take the Doctor there
now and again.
959
00:42:24,700 --> 00:42:26,533
It's just
a beautiful country
960
00:42:26,535 --> 00:42:27,835
to film in, and I think
961
00:42:27,837 --> 00:42:30,237
there's so many stories
to tell there.
962
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,174
The scenery,
963
00:42:33,176 --> 00:42:34,709
the locals,
964
00:42:34,711 --> 00:42:36,744
and a very warm welcome
looks likely to
965
00:42:36,746 --> 00:42:38,578
keep him coming back
in the future...
966
00:42:38,580 --> 00:42:40,947
Or even the past.
967
