00:00In this episode, we've got a doctor who thinks he's a smith.
00:06He just wants to work at the Unified National Insurance team.
00:11Oh, look at that. He's remembered it. Nice one.
00:14Come on. Spot the professional.
00:16I don't know if I have.
00:18We've got not one, but two Rannies.
00:21I just thought it's Doctor Who, it's the Rani, it's Anita Dobson.
00:25I had three words in my head. Yes. Yes. Yes!
00:30We've got ducks, an owl and a horse with a weak bladder.
00:38And spoiler alert, we've got an exclusive clip from the series finale.
00:44Welcome to John Smith Unleashed.
00:46This is it then. The beginning of the end of season two of Doctor Who.
01:01No, no, no, no, no, no. What are you even talking about?
01:04And we're here to lift the lid on episode seven, Wishworld.
01:09The first of a two-part finale brimming with elaborate sets,
01:13multiple locations, an ensemble cast and mind-bending VFX.
01:18RANNY!
01:20Are you ready to take the plunge?
01:22Welcome to Wishworld, a parallel universe conjured
01:30by the imagination of conspiracy theorist Conrad Clarke.
01:34Last seen being sprung from jail by Mrs Flood
01:37at the end of the episode Lucky Day.
01:39Who are you?
01:41Oh, I'm the governor.
01:42And it's your lucky day.
01:47But what exactly is this dystopian alternate reality?
01:51It's a partly remembered and a partly invented world.
01:54It's all from Conrad's mind.
01:56Happy morning, everyone.
01:58He's desperately inventing a whole world.
02:01So he's imagined very simple templates.
02:04It's just if he's put everyone into couples.
02:06And you're John Smith's wife. I certainly am.
02:08And women who don't quite fit into those couples,
02:11don't quite fit into the world.
02:12They have no role. They're alone.
02:14They're considered to be a bit strange.
02:16But he thinks it's natural. He thinks it's normal.
02:18He's not from that good a home himself.
02:20So he's trying to imagine a better home.
02:23Morning, darling.
02:24Morning, sweetheart.
02:25John Smith and Belinda, they're married.
02:28And they have a child together.
02:30But I haven't been busy mates with Belinda
02:32for the past six episodes.
02:35It was a weird transition, but for fun.
02:38Me and V thought it was very funny.
02:41We were waking up in bed beside each other.
02:45Did you see a cat?
02:46Yeah.
02:47Is that you wanting a cat?
02:49Yeah.
02:50Yeah.
02:51It's like playing house with your best friend.
02:52Seeing Shooty be like a dad figure
02:55was very different to how I know Shooty to be in real life.
02:59Like, neither of us are grown up in any way in real life.
03:04We're like kids.
03:05So it's just very funny to see us both kind of switch
03:07into, like, parent mode.
03:09Is it OK out there?
03:12Is it working?
03:13It's all hanging on by a thread.
03:15It's not real.
03:16And it's desperately rattling at the edges.
03:18And that is the point, as you discover,
03:20at the end of the episode.
03:22That's actually the Rani wanting to create a reality
03:24that wears thin, that starts to fall apart.
03:28But that's her plan, to break the world apart
03:30and to reach the world underneath.
03:34So let's take you even further behind the scenes
03:37of Wishworld, a world in which the Doctor
03:40is now plain old John Smith.
03:42Today is the 11th of April, 2024,
03:48and what's being filmed just behind me
03:50is the scene where John Smith walks in to work.
03:55Cutting it fine.
03:56Another two minutes and you'd have been late.
03:58I did work late last night.
04:00Time carries no favours.
04:02I enjoyed watching you being John Smith.
04:06Dear John, dear John.
04:08Yeah, I enjoyed watching you strolling into that room
04:11in your very sharp suit
04:13and encompassing a different part of the character.
04:15I thought it was really fun.
04:16Did you enjoy that?
04:17Yeah, I did, because it was just so different.
04:19And he's just so normal and so human
04:21and has got no intention of saving the universe.
04:24He just wants to work at the Unified National Insurance Team.
04:30Oh, look at that.
04:31He's remembering it.
04:32Nice one.
04:33Come on.
04:34I don't know if I am.
04:34Spot the professional.
04:36I don't know if I am.
04:37Happy morning, Unified National Insurance Team.
04:42How can I help?
04:43It was a lot to get my head around.
04:46Because you get so used to the character of the doctor.
04:48He just walks into rooms and decides to take charge.
04:51Yeah.
04:52And John is so the antithesis of that,
04:54that it was a nice challenge.
04:56Yeah.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Would you be good 9 to 5?
04:59No.
05:00In an office?
05:00No, I wouldn't be good.
05:01But I do enjoy it, though.
05:02I loved when I was temping.
05:05Yeah, yeah.
05:05I found having an Excel spreadsheet in front of me the most exciting thing.
05:12Are you an Excel guy?
05:13Yeah.
05:14You're a spreadsheets man, Chuty.
05:15I worked in many a receptionist office.
05:19And, yeah, I loved it.
05:20Yeah.
05:20It was just so much fun.
05:22Nothing ever got entered into it.
05:24No.
05:25Productivity was low.
05:26Productivity was very low.
05:27You were having a great time.
05:28But I was happy to be there.
05:29Yeah.
05:29Yeah.
05:30You could see that channeled in your John Smith.
05:32The old cliché says never work with children or animals.
05:41So what did Russell write into the opening scene of this episode?
05:45A baby and...
05:47Animals.
05:48Lots of animals.
05:50We had a day with ducks.
05:52And we had an owl.
05:54We were about to have a right.
05:56Oh, Tom says.
05:58And we had a horse.
05:59Well, apart from the horse mixturating in the middle of the take, it was fantastic.
06:12I happily write six ducks knowing I won't be there on that day.
06:16Knowing it's going to be chaos and a nightmare.
06:19There was probably a duck wrangler.
06:20Was there a duck wrangler?
06:21There was a duck wrangler.
06:22I knew it.
06:22One, two, three.
06:24I wonder if there's any way to spread them out.
06:32I'll try.
06:32Good feeling.
06:35It went fine.
06:37It went absolutely fine.
06:38Never want to film with ducks again.
06:40OK, well, cut.
06:42And if you thought that was quackers...
06:44Hello, boys.
06:46...added to the mix were six young children,
06:49the aforementioned baby,
06:51and its stunt double.
06:52Come on in.
06:53Back to your Winnie-Bugger.
06:54But what nobody ever tells you
06:56is there are worse things to work with
06:59than animals and children.
07:00All right, Leisha.
07:01Everybody.
07:03Come on in, Leisha.
07:05There are about 500 million midges.
07:08All the midges in Wales come here,
07:11and they're around my head,
07:13and it's really, really annoying.
07:15Bugs are eating us alive.
07:17Showing the dots.
07:19I'm just itching.
07:20They love our curls, unfortunately.
07:22So, yeah, they're sticking to us.
07:25Shake around a bit.
07:26You see loads come off.
07:27Yeah.
07:27I'm in disguise hiding from the midges.
07:30You should see Ralph, actually,
07:35because he's got bites all over his face.
07:37Oh, my God, you've got so many bites on your face.
07:39Brilliant.
07:41Oh, my goodness.
07:41Have I?
07:42I don't think so.
07:43I think I've got one for all my notes now.
07:48Not quite entertaining as I thought it'd be.
07:50Um, this isn't what I signed up for.
07:53These little flies are from the pits of hell.
08:01Let battle begin.
08:04Right then, in the last episode of Unleashed,
08:09we promised there'd be more on the bombshell reveal
08:12that Mrs. Flood was one half of a bi-generated four
08:15not seen on our screens in decades.
08:18Our name is the Rani.
08:21Although she's become a Rani,
08:24while I'm the Rani.
08:27This is the arrival of Archie Panjabi as the Rani.
08:31The Rani in the old days was played by a fantastic actor
08:34called Kate Amara.
08:35Seal it and label it.
08:37Really phenomenal actors.
08:39This is dedicated to her, in a way,
08:41because she was wonderful
08:42and created a villain all those years ago
08:44that has lasted in Doctor Who legacy ever since.
08:47You know, she's a great part of the show.
08:48It's amazing that the Rani hasn't been on screen
08:50for a million years.
08:51Well, well, well.
08:55The Rani.
08:56You were expecting to see the Master?
08:59First appearing in The Mark of the Rani
09:01back in 1985 opposite Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor.
09:05I think I've got it.
09:06You're extracting a chemical from the brain.
09:09The renegade Time Lady returned in 1987's
09:12The Time and the Rani
09:13in seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy's debut episode.
09:16The Rani!
09:18Stay back!
09:19Since then, the character has appeared
09:21in audio dramas, novels and comics,
09:23but aside from her brief appearance in 1993,
09:26not on TV.
09:29So why now?
09:30That was a villain that I really wanted to face
09:31and I'd ask Russell.
09:33Oh, I do?
09:33You asked him?
09:34Yes.
09:35She's so, like, fabulous.
09:37Yeah.
09:38I want to face off of her.
09:40Time Lord v. Time Lord.
09:41Like, how cool.
09:42Oh, yes, Doctor.
09:44I've always liked The Rani
09:46and I've always thought I'd bring her back somehow,
09:48but that was, like, a request.
09:50When your lead actor requests something,
09:52I'm here to obey.
09:55Stepping into the iconic red suit
09:57and black boots this time around
09:59is Emmy award-winning actor
10:01and star of The Good Wife, Shetland,
10:03and bend it like Beckham,
10:05Archie Punjabi.
10:06So how did it happen then, Archie?
10:08How are you sat here
10:09as a very famous Doctor Who character
10:11back reincarnated as The Rani?
10:14I was just sitting at my desk one day
10:16and then I got a message saying,
10:18would you like to be in Doctor Who?
10:20And I thought, ooh, that could be interesting.
10:22What's the character?
10:23Yeah.
10:24And they said, The Rani,
10:25and I thought, wow, oh, wow.
10:28And The Rani obviously means queen.
10:30And all I could think about, honestly,
10:31the first reaction was
10:32my entire Indian community
10:34would be so over the moon
10:35because The Rani is queen
10:37and I'm married to Raj.
10:39Yeah.
10:39The king, so I thought that would be lovely.
10:41And I just thought, it's Doctor Who,
10:44it's The Rani, it's Anita Dobson.
10:46I had three words in my head.
10:48Yes, yes, yes.
10:50And what's it been,
10:50has it sort of lived up to that,
10:52your expectations then?
10:53Has it?
10:54I mean, look at this.
10:55This is my palace.
10:56Our palace.
10:58Yes, ma'am.
10:58Yeah.
11:02Archie Punjabi is amazing.
11:05I mean, the charisma
11:07and the presence that she holds in the room
11:11and she's so, so lovely.
11:13She's so cool.
11:15Nice of you to join us, Doctor.
11:18Like, when I was younger,
11:19there weren't a lot of South Asian actors on screen
11:22and she was one of them.
11:23And I always looked up to her.
11:24I thought she was stunning
11:26and sassy and smart.
11:31The Rani's relationship with Mrs. Flood
11:33is quite funny
11:33because they're both the Rani
11:36and she considers herself
11:38a lot more superior to Mrs. Flood
11:39and treats her very badly.
11:41It's not very nice.
11:43Sound with Jovi as Lee.
11:45But it does also make you laugh.
11:46Oh, right.
11:48Because they're both so funny when they're together.
11:50You do go everywhere together now.
11:52Is this a new thing?
11:53Yeah.
11:53It's sort of happening, isn't it?
11:54We feel like we've known each other for...
11:57Ever.
11:57Ever.
11:58It's very strange.
11:59Yeah.
12:00Because this afternoon you're filming the bit where you...
12:02We moved the same.
12:03Did you see that?
12:04Yeah.
12:05Yeah, we even say things at the same time.
12:07Yeah.
12:07Finish each other's sentences.
12:08Yes, we do.
12:09Yeah, yeah.
12:10Yeah.
12:10I was so excited, I couldn't wait to meet her
12:13and then I suddenly panicked and thought,
12:14what if we don't click?
12:16What if there's no magic?
12:17And then she walked onto the set and it was like...
12:19There it was.
12:20Yeah.
12:21It could be said that you sprang from my loins.
12:27That's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard.
12:34Every Doctor Who set has its challenges,
12:37be it a retro unit set.
12:40A peasant cabin in the Bavarian woods.
12:43Or a palace made of bones.
12:46Although none of those were the most challenging in this episode.
12:49That accolade goes to this set.
12:52We are in Central Cardiff and we have created the Camp of the Dispossessed,
12:57which is an area where everyone with a disability,
13:00it kind of has sort of forgotten about
13:02and they get sort of placed in this place.
13:04So obviously because of the storyline,
13:05all our sporting artists,
13:07they're all people with visible and non-visibility.
13:09So another reason why we selected this location
13:12is obviously because it's fully accessible
13:14and workable for people with all their different specific needs and requirements.
13:18So it's been a really interesting challenge
13:20about trying to make a location that's sort of,
13:22that's not just serviceable for a standard film crew,
13:25but also for people who've got slightly more specific needs and requirements.
13:27Morning Winnie Love, another day in paradise.
13:30So I am what they call an access coordinator.
13:34So it's my responsibility to work with the production as a whole
13:37to make sure any cast or crew or production team member
13:42who's deaf, disabled or neurodivergent work with them
13:45and put any access requirements in place.
13:48And that could be anything from a ramp to the front door
13:51to a quiet room in the production office.
13:54It's all about making the entire process accessible to people who are disabled.
14:00I am crowd-aiding and also essaying
14:04because I'm a crew member with a disability.
14:06So they asked me to help out with all the essays as well as acting as well.
14:13They clearly heard the words camp and disabled and thought, let's call Ben.
14:18You know what, having an access coordinator on set
14:20makes everything so much easier.
14:23All of those little things that other people might not notice,
14:27the people who it's meant for will, and I think that's really special.
14:30So it was about, okay, let's have different coloured tents
14:34because if you were visually impaired or you were blind or nearly blind
14:38but you could see a bit of colour,
14:40if you had all the tents in one colour
14:42and as a blind person or visually impaired person,
14:45you'd knock into things.
14:46So you'll see there's different tents in different colours
14:49and then there's ribbons roundabout.
14:51We looked at the access, how to get into the tent, how to get out
14:55because tents, I don't know if you noticed,
14:57but they have a lip at the bottom.
14:59So if you were in a wheelchair, you couldn't get into it.
15:02So it's all about making the whole thing accessible.
15:06You know what, it looks really beautiful.
15:08I thought I could spend a weekend here.
15:10How nice.
15:11Everyone just having a nice little jolly.
15:13It feels really colourful and vibrant
15:15and to see so many disabled people just living like that,
15:20thinking, oh, actually, that could be real.
15:24It's quite moving in a way, how happy everybody is as well.
15:28Yeah, what a great place to film.
15:30Just tell me what the hell is going on.
15:32When you're disabled, you know that with just a few access requirements
15:37put in place, it makes such a big difference.
15:39It means you can turn up and you can be creatively brilliant.
15:43So when we make our film and TV industry accessible,
15:47we open ourselves up to lots of very talented people.
15:51Still to come on Doctor Who Unleashed.
15:59We go dancing with the stars.
16:01What are you even dancing now?
16:02Come here.
16:03They'll have me on strictly now.
16:07Production designer Phil Sames reveals the inspiration
16:10behind the awesome Bone Palace.
16:12There's a lot of bird references in it, a lot of avian references.
16:15OK, that's interesting.
16:16Why did you go bird?
16:18We just thought they looked cool.
16:19And spoiler alert, we've got an exclusive clip
16:24from the season finale.
16:27But first...
16:31So every week on Doctor Who Unleashed,
16:33I do some work experience with a different department
16:35that make Doctor Who happen.
16:38And this week, I'm with the script team
16:39and with Molly on the script team.
16:41And I think their job is actually one of the most stressful on set.
16:45Why?
16:46Let's go find out.
16:47OK, Molly, let's start right at the basics.
16:54Hello.
16:54Well, hello.
16:55Yes, that is the basics.
16:56That's a good basic to start, yeah.
16:57Yeah, it's a good basic.
16:57Hello.
16:58Yeah, my manners.
16:59Yes, thank you very much.
17:00Tell me about the script team.
17:00What do they do?
17:01What do you do?
17:01What's your job title?
17:02My job title is a little bit of a mouthful.
17:05OK, that's a good start.
17:06Yes, I am the trainee assistant script supervisor.
17:09Trainee assistant script supervisor.
17:11I am indeed, yeah.
17:12It's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it?
17:13It is a little bit, yeah.
17:13What do they do?
17:14They assist the script supervisors.
17:17Molly assists script supervisor Richard Pask.
17:21Between them, they have some serious responsibilities.
17:24It's their job to keep detailed notes of dialogue, action, continuity, and all the slate and sea numbers.
17:32On top of all that, during filming, they have to closely monitor what's happening to check no dialogue is missed,
17:39and that the movements and the eye lines of all the actors match take after take after take.
17:45And what's with the stopwatch?
17:47We help our production with timings of the day, when we start, when we finish, when we call for lunch,
17:52how much of the episodes that we've shot already, like 15 minutes in, 20 minutes in, whether we're overrunning.
17:59So before we start shooting, we have to time the script.
18:02Right.
18:02We come up with a guess, a guesstimate of how long the episode is going to take,
18:07and then we try and match that as much as possible.
18:09Occasionally, Molly has to deliver some bad news.
18:12Now, I've seen some of your colleagues go in with scripts in hand,
18:17asking for scenes to be redone so that the scripts match the writing.
18:21Is that a big part of the job as well?
18:24A big part of the job is learning when to go in and when not to.
18:28So it's a lot of talking with the director, like, oh, the line maybe changed a little bit here,
18:33or should I go in and change it?
18:35Should we remind the actors what the line is?
18:37That kind of thing.
18:38And sometimes it's a yes, and sometimes it's a, oh, it doesn't matter.
18:41It's not a big deal.
18:41Yeah.
18:42So were you always interested in drama growing up, or was it sci-fi that you liked, or what was it?
18:47Well, Steph.
18:48It was actually a behind-the-scenes episode of Doctor Who that I watched when I was a kid.
18:53Was it?
18:53That's what I want to do.
18:54And here you are on behind-the-scenes of Doctor Who.
18:57And here I am.
18:57It's like a real full circle moment.
18:59Exactly.
18:59I bought some books, I read them, and when I was doing lots of running jobs on short films,
19:06and I just said, hey, can I either shadow, or sometimes when they don't have a script supervisor,
19:10like, can I give it a go?
19:10Amazing.
19:11Yeah.
19:11So that's a real self-starter then, Molly.
19:13You were like, that's the thing I want to go and do, did all your own research, and here you are.
19:17And here I am, on Doctor Who, behind the scenes.
19:19That's so brilliant, isn't it, Jack?
19:22Right, time for me to step in as the assistant to the assistant script supervisor.
19:28As night falls and rehearsals begin,
19:30Don't talk like you're hooked up!
19:33Richard and Molly are on hand to liaise with the director, and help the actors double-check their lines.
19:39So if they're getting the lines right, you want to make sure they're getting the lines right here, as well as later?
19:43Yeah.
19:43We don't want panic.
19:45We don't want panic.
19:46Nobody wants panic.
19:46No, no, no.
19:47Let's turn over. A and B.
19:50With the cameras about to roll, Molly and I will be monitoring the action from a small tent side of set.
19:56In between takes, I listen to what the director's saying,
20:00so that I can put down on my notes if there's anything that he liked or didn't like.
20:04So your eavesdropping?
20:05Yes, all the time.
20:06Eavesdropping.
20:08Everything you hear, the more information you can put down, the better.
20:13Set, and act.
20:16You recognised your husband's doubt because you've been expressing doubt yourself.
20:21That's what it does, Mrs. Smith.
20:23It contaminates.
20:25It breeds.
20:26It festers.
20:27And it's my job to cut it out.
20:30Oh, no!
20:31Don't, don't grab me a hand!
20:32Don't make her ashamed of me!
20:34Don't, I love her!
20:38Take her away.
20:39She missed that line.
20:45Do you want to come?
20:46Can we see if we have time?
20:47Yes.
20:48Oh, no.
20:49Come on.
20:50Time to deliver some bad news.
20:52Back to once.
21:01We go again straight away.
21:02Thank you, too.
21:04So, I'm just passing on notes, obviously, I'm just learning.
21:08So, on your line, can you please remember to also say, look after her?
21:12So, don't forget that line, please.
21:14Thank you very much.
21:16A beautiful performance, though, really moving.
21:18Oh, thank you, thank you.
21:19That's not your job.
21:21I was just giving you a...
21:22That's actually not our job.
21:23Oh, we're not allowed to do that?
21:24Oh, we can.
21:25Shall we go back to the tent?
21:26OK.
21:27I'm so sorry.
21:28I'm so sorry.
21:28Just look after hers that night.
21:30OK, take two.
21:32Anna!
21:33Don't tell Bobby I have doubt.
21:35Don't make her ashamed of me.
21:37Look after her!
21:38Tell her I love her!
21:40She nailed it words-wise there, though.
21:42Every single word has written.
21:45Well done, B.
21:49Oh, perfect.
21:50Thank you very much, everyone.
21:51Very good work, Anita B.
22:00Bringing to life the wish world of Conrad's imagination
22:03allowed the production design team to go to town on the sets.
22:08It also got me all excited when I first saw them.
22:10But, OK, now this is a space that I know of
22:14and you know of as the unit headquarters.
22:17It's the ultra-modern, full of jazzy tech place
22:20where Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Gemma Redgrave,
22:23sort of runs the show, but it's been transformed.
22:26Oh, wow.
22:27Look how different it looks.
22:29Firstly, you can't see this,
22:30but this feels different because it's springy.
22:33This is a carpet.
22:33And before, it was all, like, super slick.
22:36But look at those!
22:37This is what people used to type on.
22:39They don't anymore.
22:40So, obviously, it's been transformed
22:42to, like, mid-20th century vibes.
22:45Gemma, for you, who spends a lot of their time in this room,
22:49it must be an odd sensation
22:50being here and seeing it look like this.
22:52I think it looks magnificent.
22:53Doesn't it look great?
22:54Doesn't it look like an episode of Mad Men?
22:56It does.
22:57Slightly.
22:57Yeah.
22:58With a sort of unit twist.
22:59Absolutely.
23:00I want to know if Joan has seen these
23:02because if I was him,
23:03I'd be thrilled and a bit freaked out
23:05at the same time.
23:07It's odd seeing you in a suit, though,
23:09not in your big body armor.
23:10I know.
23:11I mean, it looks fresh.
23:12It does look fresh.
23:13It's very, it's the first day, actually.
23:16What did you feel like when you walked in here?
23:17Because this is your home,
23:19when you're on set filming,
23:20this is where you spend most of your time.
23:21It looks totally different.
23:23Completely different.
23:24We walked in this morning,
23:25we just did, like, a triple take,
23:27like, what?
23:27It's going to be cool.
23:29Yeah, it's beautiful.
23:30While the retro unit set evokes 1950s nostalgia,
23:34the Bone Palace is a brilliant
23:36sci-fi meets gothic horror mash-up.
23:39I love this.
23:39This is the one set that we've done
23:42where it's been entirely sculpted.
23:44So we've had a brilliant team of sculptors
23:45transforming it into a bony palace.
23:49There's a lot of bird references in it,
23:51a lot of avian references.
23:52Okay, that's interesting.
23:53Why did you go bird?
23:54We just thought they looked cool.
23:56We just thought they looked great.
23:58There's lots of sort of beaks and bird skulls.
24:00And actually, you know,
24:02we looked at ostrich bones, ostrich feet.
24:04Yeah.
24:04And that's kind of where these feet came from,
24:06at the base of the pillars in the Bone Palace.
24:09That's very clever, isn't it?
24:11Yeah.
24:11Get rid of the white.
24:13I mean, it was epic.
24:15You know, the attention to detail
24:16to the different bones that they used
24:18to create the structure was just beautiful.
24:21It was beautiful, but also very, very creepy.
24:23It feels like you're in a dead animal.
24:24Where's Tom?
24:25Where is Tom?
24:26But then there's this massive disco ball
24:28that was also there.
24:29Wait.
24:31Did someone say disco ball?
24:35Do I like some magic?
24:37Oh, yeah.
24:37Watch this.
24:38Do some magic.
24:38Alan, can you turn on the disco ball, please?
24:42Oh.
24:43Oh, my.
24:44You have the power in your hands.
24:46In my hands.
24:46Doesn't it look good?
24:48That is cool, isn't it?
24:49Is that the coolest thing we've done on Unleashed?
24:50Maybe.
24:50In nearly two seasons?
24:51Especially during my interviews.
24:52Saturday Night Femur, anyone?
24:57Music.
24:58Towards the end of the episode,
25:00John Smith and the Rani link up for a dance
25:03for old time's sake.
25:04We danced once upon a time, you and I,
25:08at the siege of Persephone.
25:10This feels like a bit of deja vu for the 15th Doctor.
25:13What are you dancing now?
25:15I know.
25:15You're going to...
25:16I'm telling you, they'll have me on Strictly now.
25:22Not for the first time,
25:24Shooty had to dust off his dancing shoes
25:26and cut some rug.
25:31Two Time Lords meeting again.
25:33Yeah.
25:33In the middle of a waltz.
25:35As you do.
25:37Just so calm.
25:38It was brilliant.
25:39Yeah.
25:39A brilliant.
25:41A brilliant baddie.
25:42So you've ticked off now.
25:44You've done your 60s dance and you've now waltzed.
25:47We've now waltzed.
25:48So that is actually nearly on the whole Strictly line-up there.
25:51You've danced with a Strictly judge.
25:53I know.
25:54I know.
25:54Just a trend here, Shooty.
25:55It's...
25:56You're saying.
25:58It's a trend.
25:59It's a trend.
26:00It's a trend.
26:02Choreographer Jack Murphy,
26:03who we met in last season's The Devil's Chord and Rogue,
26:06is back to make sure Shooty and Archie's waltz stays in step.
26:11You're here again doing another dance from Doctor Who.
26:13Can't get enough of it.
26:14What a pleasure.
26:15What a privilege.
26:16Because it's more intimate than the work you've done on the series, I suppose.
26:19How does that change your work rather than doing one of those big numbers or the Bridgerton-style stuff?
26:25This is really what my career is based on,
26:28because primarily I've worked on plays.
26:31This is taking me home, really.
26:33So I'm very, very...
26:34It's a bus man's holiday for you as well.
26:35It is a bus man's holiday.
26:37Do you want to put that away, Stephanie?
26:38But I'm very happy to ride that bus.
26:39Absolutely.
26:41Jack Murphy is such a kind.
26:43He just...
26:44You know, he understands dance, but he also understands performances.
26:47And so what was really helpful in having me was doing the dialogue and the darts.
26:51And he told me if he'd still have a costume.
26:53He was a little bit of this.
26:55But I did get to Spencer Tyler.
26:58Yeah, I'm really skewering in there.
27:01That was hard.
27:02I mean, harder for Archie.
27:03Archie had that long speech to do.
27:06She did.
27:06Was listening to the music as well.
27:08At the top of the dance, she's...
27:09Because I'm still John Smith at this point,
27:11so he doesn't really know what he's doing.
27:13So she was leading in six-inch heels while giving a speech
27:16whilst also listening to music.
27:18It was...
27:18And she smashed it.
27:20People said we were lovers.
27:22Can you remember?
27:24What Archie Punjabi is doing at the moment
27:26is unbelievably difficult.
27:28Until you've tried it, you wouldn't know.
27:30Yeah, I mean, if you're at home,
27:31I'd try dancing and talking at the same time.
27:34And it's actually quite hard, isn't it?
27:35Oh, well, yes.
27:37Yeah.
27:37Yes, yes, yes, yes.
27:37This is why you've been able to have a career, Jack.
27:39Because you've got to teach people to do it.
27:40I did.
27:41And have to have to find a way of expressly doing it,
27:43you know, find the quickest way of doing it.
27:45Yeah.
27:45Because you kind of...
27:46It's all about repetition.
27:47And is the idea that the dance becomes second nature then?
27:50Totally.
27:51Yeah.
27:51So they're not even thinking about it.
27:52It becomes kinesthetic.
27:54It's in the muscle memory.
27:55It's a drama.
27:56It's not a dance show.
27:57So I mustn't indulge in where I would like to take it.
28:00No, less swizz... less swizzling.
28:02Yeah.
28:03And I have to kind of then go,
28:04oh, I'm not going to be judged on the fact that actually
28:07there's a simplicity to it.
28:09Yeah.
28:10We should go again, guys.
28:11Okay.
28:12Sorry.
28:12In the Doctor Who season two finale.
28:22Okay.
28:23Let's repeat chapter one.
28:25Is it working?
28:26We need to move a little faster.
28:29Sweet little desiderium.
28:31If only you were older,
28:33you could imagine such complicated things.
28:35Instead,
28:36I've got the earth.
