00:00In this episode, we welcome back good friends.
00:12The trauma that Ruby went through, it is really cool to see how she's dealing with that.
00:18It's very loud. It looks cool.
00:21We reveal how to shoot a helicopter action sequence in just three hours.
00:26That's exciting.
00:27It has been, I'm sure, getting to know you.
00:33Guest star Jonah Hower-King reveals why he loves playing Conrad.
00:37It's just really fun being horrible.
00:42And spoiler alert, stand by for that exclusive clip from the next episode.
00:47Welcome to Doctor Who Unleashed.
00:49Welcome to the Insider's Guide to All Things Who.
01:01Today, we're going to unlock Lucky Day, the fourth episode of season two.
01:06It's November 2023 and at Wolf Studios, the Who crew are shooting Lucky Day, back-to-back with episode one of the season, The Robot Revolution.
01:18So whilst the Doctor and Belinda are dealing with retro robots on stage three,
01:23on stage one, we've got the return of a fellow partner in time.
01:28I am Ruby Sunday. Actually, no, sorry, wrong way round. I'm Millie Gibson and I play Ruby Sunday.
01:36Ruby Sunday, the companion who stepped away from the TARDIS in the season one finale, Empire of Death, to spend time with her newly extended family.
01:45Will I ever see you again?
01:46Of course you will. Of course you will.
01:51All right!
01:52So how does it feel to be back?
01:54It's weird. I mean, it's such a nice growth with both me and my character because, you know, she's got a new look.
02:03She's got a family now. She's not with the Doctor anymore, which is really weird for her.
02:10And so it's a whole new side of Ruby that I think we've not seen before, but it's been so cool to explore.
02:15This is a script we always had planned. We knew when we left Ruby behind on Earth that that was not the end of, we love Millie, we love working with her, we love that character.
02:23We always planned that we would come back and we'd find out what happens to a companion after life with the Doctor has gone and how vulnerable are you?
02:32I think I'm in shock.
02:34Because what happened last year was just not normal.
02:38But the episode is really interesting because it's dealing with, like, companion post-Doctor and, like, the PTSD that comes with travelling with an alien that travels through time and space and battles a lot of monsters.
02:51I just need some time to get my head around it.
02:53Even though Ruby is absolutely a survivor and is the hero of this in the end, you can't deny that once you've seen those visits, once you've been to those planets, once you've seen death on that scale, once you've seen life on that scale, you are going to be in a state of shock.
03:08It's still a rich area to explore, like, what's the psychological effect on someone who's travelled in time and space?
03:15You could explore that forever. We've actually done it very rarely. So this is an opportunity to take Millie and to explore that. I just think this can go on forever.
03:25How was that? Coming back to Ruby then, having said goodbye to her at the end of series one, you've been now coming back to her, yeah.
03:33We've just got such an instant chemistry and very quickly we were like, we really are troubled together. We're not...
03:44We are at... It took us maybe two seconds for us to start breaking pieces of set and just being just general mischief makers.
03:53Yeah. And that was very fun.
03:55Working with Shoot, you can just click back to your normal rhythm with each other and that's what's so beautiful about working with him.
04:01Hello!
04:02Yeah, it was a breath of fresh air when I had that day we shoot you. It was like, oh my God, back to our old ways.
04:13Cardiff City Centre, Friday the 24th of November, 2023.
04:18Over the years, the city streets and landmarks have served as backdrops to countless adventures in time and space.
04:26Today the Who crew are hard at work filming one of the episode's earliest scenes.
04:31I know!
04:32Looks like a big, important, serious meeting that they're having.
04:41They're probably asking what's for lunch.
04:44And action!
04:45I'm here to catch up with Jonah Hawa King who's playing love interest turned love rat conspiracy theorist Conrad.
04:54Most famous for playing Prince Eric in the live action adaptation of Disney's The Little Mermaid, playing Conrad is a bit of a tone shift.
05:02How pleased are you that you get to play a villain?
05:04It's probably the biggest, maybe the single biggest reason why I wanted to do this.
05:09Yeah.
05:10Because it's such a great character. It's so brilliantly written.
05:13The grown-ups are talking!
05:15I've played roles more like the nice version of Conrad.
05:19Yeah.
05:20I've sort of been there, done that. And when they sent it to me, they mentioned it was a villain role.
05:24And so I got excited and then started reading it and thought, am I right? Is this the right script? Like what's going on here?
05:30You know, you, you believe this relationship and you believe their, their love, I guess.
05:35Yeah.
05:36And then it has that amazing turn. Um, and I was completely gripped.
05:40What the hell is going on?
05:42We are think tank, exposing the lies perpetuated by unit, by you.
05:49And it's just really fun being horrible, because like, that's not how you should be all the time, obviously ever.
05:55That's a tagline for the rest of your crew, isn't it?
05:57Exactly. It's great to be horrible.
05:58It's really fun being horrible.
05:59Yeah.
06:00And it's a challenge as well, because it is, he is so far from me, I guess, and like how we would want to act.
06:05And so, so going to that place is an acting challenge and it's, it's just, yeah, it's fun.
06:11It has been, I'm sure, getting to know you.
06:15With filming on the street complete, the Who crew flat pack the TARDIS and move onto the next location.
06:24Giving me the chance to grab a chat with the writer of Lucky Day, Pete McTie.
06:29You've written for Doctor Who before. What's different this time around to the work on your, on the previous series for you?
06:35I guess it's just a, it's just a very different energy.
06:38This is quite a Doctor-like episode. So for me, that was really exciting, actually, because some people would kind of go, oh, you don't.
06:44Right, Doctor Who, there's no one's Doctor in it.
06:45Yeah, there's a Doctor in it.
06:46But actually, it's kind of freeing to not have the Doctor because it's more dangerous.
06:50Straight away, if the Doctor's not around, the stakes are higher.
06:53Oh, right. I hadn't thought of it like that before.
06:55Yeah, yeah. He's not around to kind of rescue people.
06:57So that's, that's been the challenge and the kind of gift of, of this episode is being able to, to have an adventure without the Doctor where people are genuinely in more danger because he's not around.
07:07Yeah.
07:10Time and the Doctor wait for no one and Pete and Aya ushered away to the next location, which might be somewhat familiar to watching Whovian's Department Store, Central Cardiff, Mannequins.
07:24This is Howells. This is a very famous location in Wales, in Cardiff.
07:28And the corner of Howells was the store that Billy Piper worked in, in episode one, season one.
07:35Back in 2005, when the BBC and Russell T. Davis brought back Doctor Who, the very first episode, Rose.
07:42Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life.
07:44Saw the Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston, and his new companion Rose, played by Billy Piper, come face to face with classic Doctor Who baddies, The Autons.
07:57Two decades later, director Peter couldn't resist some sly nods to the past.
08:02Do you like playing with audience expectations? Absolutely. I mean, I'm a massive fan. I've been a fan since I was about four.
08:07We were in a shop. It felt like, why are we not putting mannequins into this shop? I love it. I mean, they're just the creepiest things ever.
08:15And especially if you see, like, the shadows. And I think we're going to have one rocking. It's just going to let go.
08:20Oh, is it? Yeah. Yeah.
08:23The last scene of the day in the old department store puts Jonah in a rather sticky situation.
08:29I thought they would have just, like, mixed it up in a random little pop, but Doctor Who being Doctor Who, it's a whole process.
08:34And they went away, they made this specifically, and it's come in a pop called Shriek Secretion.
08:39Love it. Which is brilliant.
08:41See? Told you.
08:43Oh, okay, yeah, see?
08:44Shriek Secretion.
08:45This is Shriek Secretion in all its glory. Very delicate work, this, isn't it? Yeah.
08:50You're not just slopping it on. No, no. Not just slopping it on. Just, er...
08:55What are the groupies? Yeah, it's got a bit of glitter in it as well, so...
08:58Oh, yes, isn't it? Yeah.
09:00Could be all the rage. It could be.
09:02Starting a new trend. Exactly, yeah, yeah.
09:04Yeah, it's definitely vaguely artistic in some way.
09:07Shriek Secretion. Shriek Secretion. Amazing. Get to know.
09:11Yeah.
09:15Still to come on Doctor Who Unleashed.
09:18I'm moving like the clappers on my work experience.
09:20We're about to go for a take.
09:26This thing shrieks havoc on set.
09:30And spoiler alert, we've got an exclusive sneak peek at the next episode of Doctor Who.
09:36But first...
09:37Action.
09:38Also returning for the first time this season, Unit, led by Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
09:43We're on our way. Divert the nearest ground crew to Colston Village. We'll take the helicopter.
09:48And what an entrance they make, swooping in to rescue Ruby, Conrad and the local residents from a pair of bloodthirsty shriek.
09:56Kate, there's two of them at least.
09:57Shot over three nights in the South Wales village of Newton, a small army of cast, crew and supporting artists set up camp at the location.
10:07That is the keys for the school room.
10:10I've got the keys to the church.
10:13Lovely churches behind you.
10:14Then I've also got the keys for the pub over there.
10:18Security has got the keys for this pub.
10:20It's just there's so many moving parts here.
10:23And yeah, we are so spread out as well.
10:26So it's been a fun one and we've got ridiculous road closures and it's been really interesting talking to people in the village because they're really excited and want to know how much prep goes into all of this.
10:38But it wasn't until I sat down the other day and realised per block we have an allocated budget for six weeks and we spent two thirds of that budget on three nights filming here.
10:48So it just gives you an idea of quite how much we've got going on.
10:51But it's great fun.
10:53And the centrepiece of all the fun, we'll see units Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Shirley Ann Bingham and Colonel Ibrahim land on the village green in a helicopter.
11:04Right, okay guys, start locking down please, in your positions, thank you, locking down.
11:12When the rotor blades are spinning, we can't move.
11:15So basically everyone clears back, we've got a very useful village green wall and everyone stays behind it and then this thing can come and go as it pleases while that's happening and we have to wait for the rotor blades to fully stop before we can move.
11:27The Who crew have got three hours to capture three shots.
11:35Shot number one, a simple take-off and landing.
11:41Shot number two, a bit more risky, with a camera operator filming out of the open cargo door.
11:51But it's shot number three that everyone's most eagerly anticipating.
11:55The moment when Kate and Unit walk away from the helicopter.
11:59Sam and Peter.
12:00Mike, if you can be with the cameras, make sure you're letting us know when they're up and running.
12:04Dev, I know you're getting shriek ready, but if you can stick with the cast as well please.
12:08Charlotte and Ash, if you can spread out, that'd be amazing, thank you.
12:11I'll see you.
12:12It's amazing, thank you.
12:13I'll see you.
12:14Come on, please.
12:15I'll see you.
12:16No, no, no.
12:17We had this conversation, both of us were quite bright.
12:18I know.
12:19I know.
12:20I know.
12:21Helicopter down for me and I've knocked the helicopter, but that was very cool, wasn't it?
12:24It was a very cool shot.
12:26And it's that we weren't in it.
12:31Oh, no, no, no.
12:31We had this conversation.
12:33Both of us were quite frightened of it.
12:34A helicopter's armed for me, and I knocked a helicopter.
12:37But that was very cool, wasn't it?
12:39It was a very cool shot.
12:40It was a very cool shot, and a really cool engine.
12:43I think.
12:46Yeah, I might take it home.
12:47What next?
12:49What, stepping out of a helicopter and walking down the street next to one of the most beautiful churchyards?
12:55Under a full moon.
12:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:58That's OK.
12:59Yeah.
13:00That'll do.
13:01We'll take that.
13:06In past episodes of Doctor Who, real-life presenters in their shows have crossed over into the Hooniverse.
13:13Trisha Goddard appeared in Army of Ghosts.
13:16You are in love with a ghost.
13:17BBC Breakfast presenters Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams interviewed Charles Dickens in The Wedding of Riversong.
13:25Oh, we love a gay story.
13:28Newsnight's Emily Maitlis appeared in Revolution of the Daleks.
13:31You took a big risk.
13:33And in this episode, The One Show and Alex Jones join the canon.
13:39Although for Jonah, who's appeared on The One Show numerous times as himself, sitting on the famous sofa as his character, Conrad, is a bit discombobulating.
13:48I've been trying to explain it to people and they haven't really been able to get their head around it.
13:52I think I said, I'm doing The One Show as my character.
13:55I said, oh, are you, are they like putting it out live?
13:58Is this some kind of like weird stunt as a promotion?
14:01I said, no, no, no, it's in the show.
14:03It's not live.
14:04I'm kind of now getting myself confused, but yes, he's, he's, my character is doing, he's doing the media rounds and obviously doing stuff like this gives it that level of authenticity.
14:16And it is kind of meta because, yeah, obviously it's BBC and BBC and it's all kind of like breaking the fourth orbit.
14:23So, yeah, it's sort of a funny feel because we're doing, we're like a skeleton crew today.
14:28The main unit are on back in Cardiff and we've sort of scuttled away here with, we've got Nicky, our producer, we've got Russell over there and the battery's hiding somewhere in a yellow coat and it's kind of like a school trip.
14:42It's really fun.
14:43It doesn't feel like a normal filming work day.
14:46It feels like the rules seem a bit different.
14:48It's all more relaxed and chilled.
14:50It's quite fun.
14:51Five, four, three.
14:53I mean, you took a big risk.
14:58We can see on the video that our soldiers literally pointing their guns at you.
15:02That's how they suppress us, with fear.
15:05Meanwhile, they're working against us.
15:07When Doctor Who said that they'd like to film here, I was super excited.
15:12I mean, it is absolutely iconic.
15:15It's been around forever, even before me, which it's hard to find those items these days.
15:20But I was so excited that they wanted to film at the One Show Studio and we've had lots of shows filming here and myself playing myself.
15:28But this is by far the most exciting one.
15:31It's an absolute moment.
15:32Come on.
15:33Man says.
15:34I know.
15:34He has to take.
15:36The only time you lose your drama degree.
15:38All that money, Alan, that you've paid.
15:41She's cruel.
15:41She's cruel, you're mad at her.
15:41I know, she is.
15:42She's an awful woman.
15:43She never leaves me alone.
15:45Get my daughter on Doctor Who.
15:47Yeah, get her on Doctor Who.
15:49Let's use the money we pay you.
15:51No, but thank you.
15:52It is really special.
15:53School trip over.
15:54It's back on the bus up to Cardiff.
16:03Right, it's that time of the episode now where I stop prancing around being a presenter,
16:08roll up my sleeves and get on with some hard graft.
16:11Yes, it's work experience time.
16:13Now, previously on Doctor Who Unleashed, I spent some time with Kutsai doing work experience
16:23as a camera trainee.
16:24And I think we can all agree that that went really rather well.
16:27It's shocking.
16:29This is unbelievable.
16:30So given that, the camera department have agreed that I can go back.
16:34But this time, we're going to step it up a level.
16:38Today, I'm going to be working alongside Evangeline and Sarah, who are both clapper loaders.
16:44Having worked their way up from camera trainee, their job is the next step up in the camera department.
16:49Talk to me about your particular job in the team.
16:54What do you do?
16:54How does it fit with everyone else?
16:56So the main job that everyone would probably notice is the board.
17:00So you're in charge of this?
17:02I'm the one that puts this on.
17:04Or, got an even smaller one.
17:07A baby one?
17:08A baby board.
17:09Look at that.
17:09Which everyone loves.
17:10Yeah, that is cool.
17:11Every time that comes out.
17:12So since we're on the clappers, talk to me about what I've got to do then.
17:16Because sometimes I've seen you clapping.
17:18I've also seen you clapping upside down.
17:20That's an end board.
17:21So you can have a front board and an end board.
17:23Right.
17:24If they see this upside down, it's the end of the clip.
17:27Right.
17:27And if they see it that way, they know it's going to be the start of the clip.
17:30OK, makes sense.
17:32The clapper board is an iconic bit of kit and is crucial on any TV and film set.
17:38The moment it is closed is captured by both the camera and the microphones
17:42and is used by the editor to match up the pictures and sound.
17:47Or a sounded one.
17:48If you come in this and know nothing about films or telly,
17:50everybody knows about the board.
17:52Yeah.
17:52So you are in charge of it.
17:53That is me.
17:54We've got two cameras on the job all the time.
17:57So Sarah will have one who's on the A camera team.
18:00And I've got one for the B camera.
18:02Right.
18:03There you are, Ken.
18:04And so how does this job differ from what I was doing last time?
18:08You were obviously started off as a camera trainee, right?
18:10And you're working your way up.
18:11So you've got a bit more responsibility.
18:13You assess the focus colours a lot more.
18:15Right.
18:16Putting lenses on, changing filters and stuff.
18:19Yeah.
18:19And putting cards in the camera.
18:21All right.
18:21So I know that sounds simple, but that's really important, isn't it?
18:25Yes.
18:25That's where all the stuff gets recorded on and everything.
18:28So if you do that wrong...
18:30You might have to redo the whole day.
18:32Which would cost a fortune.
18:34So don't do that.
18:35Yeah.
18:35So you're putting lenses.
18:36And those lenses...
18:37Yeah.
18:37I mean, we've got one here, like, that's worth a lot of money, isn't it?
18:41So don't drop them either.
18:43Did you always think, oh, I wanted to work with cameras?
18:46I wanted to be an operator, so...
18:47Yeah.
18:48So you're working, that's the goal, is it?
18:49Hopefully, yeah.
18:50Yeah.
18:50And so you've got to go through these steps to get to that point?
18:53Yeah, you don't have to, but I think it's better to, because you understand all the roles on the camera department a bit more.
19:00Yeah.
19:00As a clapper lauder, one of the main jobs is to mark up the clapper board with the correct information for the scene that is being shot.
19:08So I've got the date, obviously.
19:10Yeah.
19:10The scene then goes in there, so we're on episode four.
19:13Yeah.
19:14Scene 19 and 20.
19:15And then whatever slate you're on there will go there.
19:18Takes goes there.
19:20Can we dry run this?
19:21Yes.
19:22550 is next.
19:23550.
19:24Yeah.
19:26And say now take one.
19:28I'd say it's a bit too small.
19:30Oh, would you go bigger?
19:31I'd go a bit bigger than that.
19:32OK.
19:33Oh.
19:34550.
19:36There we are.
19:37Perfect.
19:38So you'd walk out in front of the camera.
19:41Yeah.
19:41Hold that there.
19:43Always have the sticks already open though.
19:45Sticks already open.
19:46Yeah.
19:46Maybe not that open.
19:47OK.
19:47So sticks a little bit open.
19:49Yeah, that's fine.
19:50So I walk out, hold this in front of the camera.
19:53And then you go, sound speed.
19:55And then I clap.
19:56No.
19:56No, then I say, slate 550.
20:00You don't have to say slate either.
20:01OK, just say the numbers.
20:02Yeah.
20:03This is good.
20:04This is good tips.
20:04This is good.
20:06550.
20:07Take one.
20:09And then I'll pretend you'll be the focus player and say, mark it.
20:13And then I walk off.
20:14And then I'll get out of there.
20:15Just two numbers.
20:16Yeah.
20:16The slate.
20:18The number.
20:20What could, I mean.
20:21What could go wrong?
20:22What could go wrong?
20:23What indeed.
20:25I'm heading onto set where Evangeline is handing me over to Sarah for my clapper debut.
20:29First things first, the slate and the tape number.
20:33Five, five, one.
20:34Well, three, three, three.
20:35How big do you go?
20:37Big.
20:37As big as you can.
20:40So it's easy to read for the editors.
20:42That's beautiful.
20:43Look at that.
20:43Beautiful.
20:44Beautiful.
20:45And then we'd say, take one, right?
20:46Yeah, take one.
20:47You're first up.
20:49Next.
20:50Where am I supposed to stand?
20:52So I'm five foot.
20:53Yeah, you're five foot.
20:54So my wingspan is five foot.
20:57So if you were about, say, here, you'd be fine.
21:00Yeah, okay, fine, fine, fine.
21:01And then a cheat is if you look down the lens.
21:03Yeah.
21:04You can see your own reflection.
21:05Oh, there he is.
21:06So you want to be about here.
21:07There.
21:09Yeah.
21:09Same.
21:10But you look silly looking down the lens.
21:11Yeah, I mean, I've made myself look plenty silly loads of times.
21:15That's fine.
21:15Right.
21:16Time to do this thing.
21:17No pressure.
21:18I'm starting to get a little bit nervous because there's a lot of people now relying on this
21:22to work.
21:23So I'm going to be there.
21:24Is that cool with you?
21:25Yeah.
21:25Are you all right with that?
21:26It certainly is.
21:26And I want to do it much louder than that.
21:29That's fine.
21:29Are you happy with that?
21:30You can go bigger.
21:31Do you reckon I can go bigger than that?
21:31Yeah, way bigger.
21:33Bigger.
21:34Yeah.
21:34There we are.
21:35Okay, fine.
21:35Just checking that you're comfortable with that so we're all on the same page.
21:39We're about to go for a take.
21:41I don't mind admitting.
21:42Here we go, then, please.
21:45We're rolling, please.
21:46I'm clapping my pants right now.
21:47So it's me.
21:48Five, five, one, take one.
22:04Beautiful.
22:06Oh, my gosh.
22:09I think I might have nailed that.
22:13Right, yeah, so that was it.
22:17Just done my clapping.
22:18I'm not going to lie to you.
22:19I'm very pleased.
22:21I'm very relieved.
22:22And a tiny little bit smug.
22:24But it went so well.
22:25Because let's be honest, the last time I was with the camera department, it was a disaster.
22:29This is much better.
22:30Clapper boards.
22:31The way forward.
22:33End, end, end board.
22:35Okay, lock it down.
22:38Lock it down on the side of the stairs.
22:39Lock it down.
22:39Let's have some high leg wear.
22:40I'm set.
22:44If, like me, you were floored by the Conrad plot twist...
22:48We are think tank.
22:50I think we can put that down to a brilliant script and Jonah's fantastic performance.
22:55But be honest.
22:56How long did it take you to figure it out that these Shriek were, in fact, fake Shriek?
23:02They're not Shriek.
23:02Got you.
23:08Throughout the history of Doctor Who, the show has worked hard to make sure the aliens and creatures don't just look like people dressed up in rubber suits.
23:17Mostly succeeding, but sometimes, perhaps not.
23:21People always talk about Doctor Who.
23:23They talk about shaky sets and rubber monsters.
23:25You know, in the 70s, there was very much that kind of feel.
23:28It was a low-budget feel.
23:31However, for this red-eyed, creepy creature, the design team at Millennium FX were challenged with a slightly different approach.
23:40It's kind of an odd thing where you're building a rubber monster and then someone says, right, build a rubber monster of the same rubber monster, but it's a rubbish rubber monster.
23:49And that one's real and this one's a bit rubbish.
23:50So, it's like, how rubbish is it?
23:54And at the same time, it's still got to look like it can pass for real within the story.
24:00So, that was actually really difficult to nail how that worked.
24:06For the real Shriek suits, Neil and his team used the same high-tech they would normally employ.
24:12The design was sculpted in clay on a 3D print of the actor's head and body.
24:17Fibreglass moulds were then cast from the clay and injected with silicone and finally painted by hand.
24:23The real Shriek was then crowned with its own animatronic head.
24:28So, I've got some eyelids that can make him bling.
24:31He can get dizzy.
24:32Whoa.
24:33This is kind of as soft as he can get.
24:36This is kind of zero.
24:37Yeah.
24:37And this is kind of 100.
24:39Wow.
24:39It's gross and gorgeous.
24:41Yes, at the same time.
24:42Yeah.
24:43For the fake Shriek, they really had to put their heads together.
24:46We got the final design and we got a sculptor in and let him look at it once and just went,
24:52there it is.
24:53Right, you have a few hours to sculpt that from memory.
24:57And what that meant is he ended up just hitting the main points, but all the detail was kind
25:04of lost.
25:05So, it was someone's impression of the Shriek.
25:08Then for the fake Shriek's head, we just went with older processes.
25:12So, it was a clay sculpture, a plaster mould and just stiff latex rubber.
25:16So, it moves like an old rubber mask because it is an old rubber mask.
25:21For a cosplay costume, they're amazing.
25:24That's got to be difficult though, hasn't it, really?
25:26Like, how do you make something look bad, but it's still got to look really good?
25:31That's quite a challenge, I think, for millennials.
25:34But they nailed it again.
25:37The next step was to work out how the two different types of Shriek would move.
25:41Hi, we've cut there.
25:43Hello.
25:44Movement is always an important thing.
25:46You can build this fabulous looking thing and if it can't move, it sort of loses impact.
25:52For the fake Shriek and the real Shriek, you're trying to get that movement.
25:56Different.
25:56So, when you see the real Shriek, you don't feel it's a human being in a suit.
26:01But when you see the cosplay one, that's one of the giveaways.
26:04It is people wearing a rubber outfit.
26:06It's always strange chatting to someone in this sort of get-up get-in, I'm not going to lie to you.
26:11So, I don't know what it's like being that person.
26:14Well, I mean, this particular suit kind of feels like wearing a full-body resistance band.
26:18Oh, does it?
26:19So, you're working really hard?
26:20Like, yeah, to do that, the whole thing is just trying to pull me in like that.
26:24Yeah.
26:25But otherwise, it's just really warm, which is handy because it's winter.
26:28It's November, it's cold if it's freezing.
26:30Yeah.
26:30When you read the Shriek and you realised a lot of this was going to be on all fours, were you thinking, yes, or were you thinking, oh, gosh, that sounds like a lot of hard work?
26:39No, I like, crawling's not too bad.
26:41It's quite fun.
26:42And we came up with different versions of the movement before we had finalised on the creature.
26:48So, in a way, we came up with it.
26:49And it's like I'm my own worst enemy.
26:52So, every time we're like, oh, I could do this.
26:54It's more difficult, but it looks better.
26:56Yeah.
26:56And then you get a note and I go, I need to make it more difficult.
26:59And you're like, why?
27:00Yeah.
27:01Stop doing this to yourself.
27:02Just go with the easy one.
27:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:04What's it like performing this blind?
27:06Because you are sort of, you can't really see much when the mouth's closed.
27:09The mouth's closed, I pretty much can't see anything.
27:11Right.
27:12So, in here, I've got a little earpiece.
27:14Yeah.
27:14And Paul.
27:15So, you've got Paul in your ear.
27:16If I can't see what I'm doing, he's like going, turn left, a bit more left, head up.
27:22Okay, cool.
27:23Now, walk forward three steps.
27:25And it's definitely teamwork.
27:26Yeah.
27:27Between myself, Gethan and Rachel, who's puppeteering the face.
27:30Yeah, it's all teamwork.
27:32So, how about a demonstration then?
27:34That is actually really freaky.
27:45I'm going to go this way.
27:47You carry on.
27:48Oh, I don't like it.
27:50Oh, gosh.
27:55On the next episode of Doctor Who.
27:57Can't see.
28:08Can't see.
