00:02In this episode
00:03We're in Lagos
00:04We'll show you how we built a Nigerian market in Wales
00:08I go to Barry to reveal what's occurring between Doctor Who and Gavin and Stacey
00:15And spoiler alert
00:17We've got you that exclusive clip from the next episode
00:20Welcome
00:30Here we are then
00:35Just over halfway through the series
00:38So far we've had an angry AI
00:40Creepy cartoons
00:42An unexpected sequel
00:44And caught up with an old friend
00:46Incredible
00:47But despite the Doctor's best efforts with his vindicator
00:51We're still no closer to Belinda getting home
00:54And we're still no nearer to finding out who Mrs Flood is
00:57Howdy!
01:00Action
01:01For this instalment of Unleashed
01:04We're heading behind the scenes of the story and the engine
01:07A hair-raising episode set in a Nigerian barbershop
01:11On the back of a giant space spider powered by stories
01:14In other words, just another day in the universe
01:19Well, if you put it like that
01:21So just where did the idea come from?
01:24I'd always wanted an episode set in Africa
01:27And me and Russell have been speaking about Inua since the minute that I got cast
01:33And actually
01:33I just really wanted him to be a writer on Doctor Who
01:38And Russell was so up for it and I was like, yes!
01:41I've been watching Doctor Who since I was a kid in Nigeria
01:44Since I was ten years old
01:46Quivering behind the sofa
01:48Watching Daleks run rife everywhere
01:51I've been toying with the idea of a Doctor Who episode or series
01:59Primarily because Nigeria is a very superstitious people
02:03And the Doctor flirts around with superstition
02:05But also magic and where that meets science and science fiction
02:09So in my head, I've just been playing with this
02:12Wait, you're on the missing posters
02:15All of you
02:16I'm a huge fan of Russell's work
02:18So I just slid into his DMs and Instagram saying
02:21Hi Russell, I'm excited about what you do next
02:24Welcome
02:24I've been expecting you
02:27And Russell responded within an hour saying
02:30Inua, I'm a fan of your work
02:31Come on, write for us
02:32Inua, the great joy of working with Inua Ellams
02:35I went to the National
02:38I saw his play, The Barbershop Chronicles
02:40And I went to see that and I loved that play
02:43I loved it so much
02:44So the trick was to take the show to him and say
02:46There we go, put that into your world
02:48And I just thought
02:49I couldn't stop thinking
02:50What about if a Doctor walked into that barbershop?
02:52Omo!
02:53Doctor!
02:54Hey!
02:54Told you he would come
02:55What is it about the barbershop as a location
03:00For storytelling
03:01And it's part in Nigerian culture
03:04Yeah
03:04When I was researching the play
03:07I travelled across Sub-Saharan Africa
03:09Just interviewing barbers and a client
03:11But the same pattern of relationships
03:14Between barbers and clients kind of came up
03:16And what the barbershops tended to represent
03:19To give to these men
03:21Is a place to hold court
03:23To tell stories
03:25To relax
03:26To be beautified by other men
03:28And there are many other places where that can happen
03:31You know, where men can hold each other
03:33Touch each other's necks
03:35Look in each other's eyes through the mirror
03:37And there are these subtle shifts in power and dynamics
03:40That unfold naturally
03:41And it's like peeling off layers
03:44The more you do so
03:45The more you get to the identity of the person in the chair
03:48Yeah
03:49And therefore men can be really open
03:52Barbershop?
03:52But the TARDIS does your hair
03:54It does
03:56It does
03:57I don't go there for cuts
03:58It's hard to explain
04:01You go there to be free
04:04To feel like you are part of a community
04:08Those spaces are such community spaces for black people
04:13To do exactly what the doctor wants to do in that episode
04:16Which is go chill, laugh, joke, catch up on life events
04:21We laugh
04:23We tell stories
04:25They
04:25Treat you like one of their own?
04:30Yeah
04:31And I think stories in general is a very like
04:34It's a very human thing
04:35But they're very
04:36It's very important to African cultures
04:39There's always a tale being told in the barbershop
04:41Or someone's
04:42Someone's got something to say
04:44Once upon a time
04:46While the doctor spends most of this episode
04:53Hanging out at the barbers with the boys
04:55Belinda is stuck on a highly alarmed TARDIS
05:01About to undergo a journey of her own
05:03Are we under attack?
05:05TARDIS!
05:06Hello?
05:07From reluctant companion
05:09To a time travelling champion
05:11A good moment for me to catch up on set with Farida
05:15That stuff, you know, you're just filming it now
05:19And you have to, you know, be scared
05:20All the lights are changing and stuff
05:22Was that, that was a bit different for, for Belinda
05:24Yeah, it was quite interesting
05:25Because the whole scene where the doctor's saying
05:28This is my favourite place
05:29I love coming to the barbershop
05:30And Belinda has a moment where she can
05:33You know, all she wants, all the time
05:36Is to just go home
05:37Yeah
05:37And that is her intention
05:39Her motivation for everything
05:41Is get me home
05:41I want to go back to my life
05:43But it's the first time that because she's gone
05:45So attached to the doctor
05:47And, you know, actually really cares about him
05:50And, and his happiness
05:51Yeah
05:51And she wants him to have that
05:53Because she loves him, really
05:55Yeah
05:55She's like, no, actually
05:56I really want to go home
05:58But, alright, fine
06:00No, go, go have your moment
06:02So they get separated
06:03Yeah
06:04And it's really nice to see Belinda come into her own
06:09Actually completely on her own
06:11In this episode
06:12Because it's the first time they've been separated
06:14And then things go wrong
06:15And then she has to rescue the doctor
06:16Yeah, that's quite, that's quite a nice dynamic change, isn't it?
06:22Yeah
06:22When you have to do that
06:23Yeah, I mean, she doesn't even hesitate
06:25It's, he's in danger, I'm coming for you
06:27Yeah
06:27She's taken the, the, what's the word I'm looking for?
06:32Impetus
06:33Impetus, that's the word
06:34It's a good word, that, isn't it?
06:35Yeah
06:35I don't know why that popped in my head
06:36That's what I was looking for
06:38Thank you
06:38It, yeah
06:39We've spent too much time together now
06:40Yeah, I know
06:41It's just
06:42Finishing you to the sentences
06:43That was awkward, isn't it?
06:46Yeah, she takes the impetus to, to go out and save him
06:49Yeah
06:50She's got enough self-confidence
06:51And, and also, obviously, the other motivation is
06:55Without the doctor, how is she going to get help?
06:57Yeah, sorry, I'm saving you, but also, I'm saving me
07:00Yeah, exactly
07:01Yeah
07:01So, yeah, it's, it's, it's just really nice to see her coming to her own
07:05Yeah
07:05Her own confidence
07:06Every episode of Doctor Who has got something unique about it
07:15And with the story and the engine
07:16It's the fact that this is the first ever episode of Doctor Who set entirely in modern Africa
07:22In the Nigerian city of Lagos
07:25To keep everything looking and feeling authentic
07:28The team explored filming in Lagos
07:30But to fly 200 plus cast and crew all the way out to Africa
07:34Would have been eye-wateringly expensive
07:37So it was decided that if we couldn't take Cardiff out to Lagos
07:41Then we'd have to bring Lagos back to Cardiff
07:44And except for the drone shots at the top of the episode
07:47Which were shot in Lagos
07:49Everything else was created here at Wolf Studios
07:52How important was it to get that story done right
07:58In the sense that it was so authentic
08:00So people were watching it in Nigeria
08:02People with Nigerian heritage feel like it's a story for them
08:04I think it's really important
08:06I mean, I come from a Caribbean background
08:09But obviously hailed from Africa
08:10Yeah
08:11I contributed quite a lot to conversations about how we could make it authentic
08:14Yeah
08:15And how do you do that?
08:17I think it came down to making sure that we had some flavour of Lagos
08:22And that, you know, the market would actually be true
08:25Yeah, that set was amazing, wasn't it?
08:26So, yeah, absolutely brilliant
08:28Absolutely brilliant
08:29But also that it would tie in
08:30So working closely with our department
08:32With the director
08:33With all the whole team of producers
08:35Deciding that we would, you know
08:37Make sure that there wasn't, at the very least
08:39A connectivity between Lagos and our set
08:43So is there an added element of pressure to make it work?
08:47Well, yeah, I mean
08:48With any, any Doctor Who
08:49Or with any story you're telling
08:51You want to make sure that you get it absolutely right
08:53I think that's really important
08:55For us, I mean, we've brought in consultants
08:57So we've had a specific Nigeria consultant
09:00Who's been able to sort of give us a guide
09:02Different departments
09:03Make sure that they understand
09:05What would be authentic
09:07So where did the Doctor Who team come
09:10To find their expert in Nigerian culture
09:13Well, Barry Island, of course
09:15Gavin and Stacey isn't the only tidy thing
09:20To come out of Barry
09:21Born and raised in Lagos
09:23Taie Omokore now lives in the well-lush Welsh seaside town
09:27And has been the team's main Nigeria consultant
09:30This episode is very specifically
09:32Nigeria, very specifically
09:34Yeah, exactly
09:34It's not broader than that
09:37It needs to feel rooted in those communities
09:40Absolutely
09:40Market is a big part of Nigeria, you know
09:44That's why it was really important to get the details right
09:47Because I've seen other movies or other series
09:50Where they will shoot something about Africa or Nigeria
09:54That doesn't really feel African
09:56And I guess that is where Doctor Who is coming in to, you know
10:00Say, you know, we want to do something different
10:02We want to make this better
10:04We want people to feel like, you know
10:07They're connected to this
10:08We don't want Nigerians to see things and be put off
10:10So, and I think they've done a good job at that
10:13For a story to be authentic
10:14It needs to be told by the people
10:16That have lived there
10:17That have experienced it
10:18That have, you know, gone through this
10:20So I think it was important for someone from Nigeria to do that
10:24And I'm honoured to be in that position
10:27To be able to, you know, represent my people back home
10:30And, you know, raise the flag, yeah
10:31Taye wasn't the only consultant
10:34Aryan Bakari, the actor playing the barber
10:37Needed to learn how to cut hair
10:39Welcome
10:39To my establishment
10:42Your establishment
10:43The man to train him
10:46F on Ye Bule
10:47This man right here is going to be an evil barber
10:51I am going to be an evil barber
10:53No, look at the face
10:54He's an evil barber
10:55So, basically, I've been barbering for over 21 years
10:58I started when I was a little boy
11:00At the age of 11
11:02And I also teach people in the film and TV
11:04How to do afro hair
11:05Just like we're doing today
11:07Aryan needs to learn the art of cutting afro hair
11:11As he'll be doing it for real
11:12In camera
11:13As part of his role as the barber
11:15Not easy
11:17The pressure's on to get it right
11:20One slip of the clippers
11:31And he could scalp one of his fellow actors
11:33Glide from here
11:35Because like you did it now
11:37You go away from here
11:38But it seems Aryan is a natural
11:42So, if anybody wants to come to my barber shop
11:44In the next couple of weeks
11:45Yo, you're ready, man
11:46Be a bit posh
11:48We met a barber in one day
11:52That was incredible
11:53And he done that all by himself today
11:56First time handling the clipper
11:59And the trimmer
12:00He was able to do that
12:02I think I kind of
12:03He's ready
12:04I hope I'm ready
12:06Sign him up
12:07But how would Aryan and his clippers fare on the big day?
12:11And stood at the door with the hosepipe
12:14Spraying
12:15And spraying
12:17Until all the fires went out
12:21No sweat
12:24Still to come on Doctor Who Unleashed
12:30This isn't their first appearance in the Hooniverse
12:34But can you guess which characters
12:35Sule and Aryan have played before?
12:37I'll be serving up some hot stuff on my work experience
12:43Did you want to hash brown as well?
12:44Of course
12:45And spoiler alert
12:47We've got an exclusive clip from the next episode of Doctor Who
12:51But first
12:53Just like you'd expect with any season of Doctor Who
12:57There's been quite a few creepy characters so far
13:00AI Alan
13:01He was pretty creepy
13:02Join with me in ecstasy and freedom
13:06I'm Mr. Ring-a-Ding
13:08Mr. Ring-a-Ding
13:09He was A-Star Creepy
13:11The unseen creature in The Well
13:16Well creepy
13:17I think
13:19You're amazing
13:20And then there was Conrad in Lucky Day
13:22Super smug
13:23Gaslight creepy
13:24But for me
13:25There is nothing creepier in the whole
13:27Known Hooniverse
13:29Than spiders
13:30I think I've got an actual
13:31Genuine phobia
13:32I don't trust the way they move
13:33And the way they look at you
13:34With their eight little beady eyes
13:35So the fact that this Hulep is set on a spider's back
13:38Ach a V
13:40Anyway
13:41Surely I'm not the only person here with a phobia
13:43I wouldn't say I've got a phobia
13:45But I really do
13:47I hate flies
13:48What?
13:49There's something about flies that just make me feel ill
13:50Just blub blub
13:52No, no, no
13:53Maybe
13:54Um
13:55Some
13:56I think snakes
13:57Oh, snakes
13:58Because they slither funny as well, don't they?
13:59Yeah
14:00And like they just look evil
14:01Toads
14:03Toads?
14:04Yeah
14:05I've got a phobia of toes
14:06What?
14:07Towards not frogs?
14:08Or towards and frogs?
14:09Spit both really
14:10Yeah
14:11The texture and yeah
14:12I remember
14:13I think the phobia started when I was on a caravan holiday
14:16And I stepped up the caravan and there was one like landed on my foot
14:20And now you're scared of them?
14:21Yeah
14:22They're probably scared of you as well
14:23Mice
14:24Mice?
14:25Mice, yeah
14:26Why mice?
14:27I remember when I was really young there was a mouse underneath my pillow and I hated it
14:31Well, I screamed and so I just screamed my head off but also I remember at work, not recently but let's just say about the last five years
14:37Yeah
14:38There was a mouse in the workplace I was working in and I stood on the chairs proper classic like
14:42Screaming
14:43Like
14:44Maybe spiders if they're running at you
14:46At you
14:47Yeah, yeah
14:48If they're living in the house that's okay, if they're in the corner and know where they are that's okay
14:51When they start moving towards you that's an issue
14:53Yeah
14:54So maybe
14:55So you're gonna struggle with this episode as well
14:56Yeah
14:57Yeah, big time
14:58It's a really irrational one but it's like crabs and lobsters
15:03What's wrong with a crab?
15:04Oh!
15:05I just hate them
15:06I hate
15:07I hate that they
15:08The little nice little happy little claws and
15:10Yeah
15:11No?
15:12It's not for me
15:13No, you're back
15:14When I go to the seaside I genuinely struggle to relax fully if
15:18Even if I see one that's like miles away because it's like oh they're crawling underneath me
15:23Oh right, so you haven't read that episode?
15:25No
15:26Okay
15:27No
15:28No
15:29These lips are sealed
15:30There's no way you've read a scope that I haven't
15:31These lips are sealed
15:32He's playing me
15:37It's Friday the 16th of February 2024
15:40Today is the calm before the storm
15:43Because on Monday morning 80 supporting artists will be brought in to film the bustling market sequences
15:50It's clever isn't it? How they get it to look like the sun in Africa
15:54With all those lights
15:56It's actually in there
15:58It feels different than out here
16:00I'd quite like to trip to Nigeria
16:04Count when I'm on
16:05The Who crew are adding the final touches
16:08And director Michaela McPherson is preparing for the shoot
16:12So Michaela this is Friday end of the week
16:15Yes
16:16But you're back here on Monday filming for the first time on this set
16:19Yes
16:20So what's your job today then?
16:21Basically just to make sure
16:23You know just to come and see the sets
16:25So it's not a surprise on the day
16:27A surprise
16:28There's nothing more beneficial than walking through the sets
16:31Yeah, yeah, yeah
16:32And being able to walk it, breathe it, see it
16:35It really helps when you're trying to visualise your ideas
16:38Something change sometimes
16:39We're like, oh I thought we would do it like this
16:40But now
16:41Absolutely
16:42Now I've seen that lettuce there
16:43You know what I mean?
16:44All the time
16:45I might want to get those computers or whatever
16:46I always say it's good to have a plan
16:48And I'm a big planner
16:49But ultimately
16:50You also have to be prepared for that plan to be thrown out the window
16:55Sometimes it's nice to be organic
16:57And just see what happens on the day
16:59And that's what's exciting about it
17:00Yeah
17:01Well good luck on Monday
17:02It's going to be fun
17:03It's going to be hectic
17:04Yeah
17:05It's going to be great
17:06Fast forward to 7am Monday morning
17:08And the studio is already buzzing with people
17:11We're in Lagos
17:13And it kind of feels like it too
17:15I feel like I'm in a hot place
17:17Even though it's freezing in the studio
17:19Like I don't need my coat right now
17:21The Who crew have only got today to film the market scenes
17:25Tomorrow the whole set needs to be taken down
17:28To make way for the alleyways and barbershop exterior
17:31So the pressure's on
17:33So we've got 80 essays today
17:34Which is a lot of people to get through quite a small space
17:38But it's good because it makes it look really busy
17:40And it looks great on camera
17:41And they're all brilliant
17:42We've got the best set of essays that we have ever had on this show ever
17:46Responsible for making sure this small army of extras
17:50Get through hair, makeup and costume
17:52And onto the set on time
17:54Is Crowd's second assistant director, Rosie Pepper
17:57So for our team today
17:59The majority of us started at half five this morning
18:01We have 25 makeup artists with us today
18:05We have about eight costume members
18:07Some about quarter to eight
18:08I'll know if we're running behind or not
18:10But so far so good
18:11The teams are working so hard and so well
18:13And we're on track to be on time
18:16Just to add to the market madness
18:18Pepper is also expecting a VIP
18:21Who will be making a cameo appearance in the market scenes
18:24On that note, has anyone had eyes on Inua or a writer?
18:28It was, I don't know whose idea it was actually
18:30But basically Inua is actually going to be playing a starring role himself
18:33As our main trader today
18:35I sort of made a joke in one of the script meetings
18:40That I, you know, I could play a traitor
18:43I just thought it'd be funny
18:44But they all capitalised on it
18:46And here I am
18:48I'm being treated as an extra, which is perfect
18:51There's no specialist treatment or anything
18:55I'm just bossing around
18:56I sit and I'm being told
18:58Stand here
18:59Do there
19:00Go there

19:02It's nice
19:03With Inua and the essays all good to go
19:05There's just enough time for some last-minute checks
19:08If I can count
19:10I think this is about 60-odd
19:12That's if I can count
19:13But no, we are ahead of schedule
19:15Which is fantastic
19:16So, yeah
19:17That's what I love to say

19:24We'll start travelling over under the brollies
19:26Thank you very, very much
19:27Let's do this
19:29Right, time to get those 80 essays wedged onto the tiny market set
19:35Talk about sardines
19:37There's a lot of people in a small space
19:39But it looks really busy
19:40I think it looks really good
19:41It's really fun
19:42Lots of colour
19:43Lots of energy
19:44Yeah, it's exciting
19:45With the set jam-packed

20:02What are you doing?
20:03I'm in a rush
20:04Sorry
20:05Ah, Madame
20:06You must pay for this though
20:07Sorry
20:08I...
20:09I have no money
20:10That's your problem though
20:11You don't have to go anywhere
20:12Not me and you today
20:13I've never been on set before
20:15And I've never been on a set of this size before
20:18Two things
20:19So, there are lots and lots of moving parts
20:22But it's exciting
20:23It's amazing
20:25Back in the same position again, please
20:27Thank you
20:29Thank you
20:30Thank you
20:36It's that time in the episode where I roll up my sleeves and take on some work experience
20:41And today, I've got a particularly early start
20:44Obviously, actors are important
20:47You know, the directors are important
20:48The camera crew is important
20:50Et cetera, et cetera
20:51But
20:52Probably the people that keep this whole show on the road
20:55Are the catering staff
20:56And that's what I'm working with this morning
20:58The catering team are led by Leon
21:00Hello
21:01Hello, Stefan
21:02Hiya, Shumai
21:03What's the plan?
21:04What are you doing?
21:05It's five o'clock in the morning, Leon
21:06What are you doing?
21:07Erm, so we're getting ready for breakfast
21:09Yeah
21:10And then, we will have four hours turn around to lunch
21:13Yeah
21:14So, we've finished breakfast day
21:16We need to be ready by twelve o'clock
21:18So you're all ready pre-
21:19It's five in the morning, you're all ready prepping lunch
21:21Yeah, yeah, we have to
21:22Yeah
21:23Because we haven't got the time to
21:24Today we've got 2.40
21:27Erm, it could go up to 2.80
21:30The day goes really quick
21:31Yeah
21:32So, on the menu today
21:35Is
21:36Erm, chicken teakers
21:37Yeah
21:38So we've got
21:39Chicken legs
21:40You're lucky
21:41We've done the bulk of it
21:42So
21:43Done the hard work of you
21:44Yeah
21:45Good
21:46Right then
21:47So, if you chuck that in here
21:49Right, any particular
21:50Is there
21:51I mean, this is a dark question, Cleo
21:52But I feel like this is a safe space
21:54And I'm allowed to ask super questions
21:55Yeah, please do
21:56Thank you very much
21:57Does it matter how I shove these chickens in that sauce?
22:00Erm
22:01No
22:02No
22:03There we are
22:04All we need to do is massage it
22:05I'm just going to massage this chicken into the incisions
22:09Other meat-free options are available
22:12How's that, Leon?
22:13Yeah, great
22:14What's the best part or the funnest part of working in catering and TV in particular?
22:19You open the kitchen hatch and there can be a different view every day
22:23Yeah
22:24And you're in a different part of the country
22:26Like we've worked across Britain really
22:28Have you ever had a time where just like somebody dressed up half as an alien turns up and
22:33Yeah, yeah, we've had a job where erm
22:35I opened the hatch and it was naked extras
22:39And er, it was, they were having a party in a forest
22:43And nobody told me
22:45So the hatch opens and they're like hi
22:48Like
22:49Okay, good morning, yeah
22:51Yeah
22:52You're doing a good job here
22:53That's fine
22:54Thank you very much
22:55Just speed up quite a lot
22:58And if there was like someone watching this who loves cooking, loves working on TV
23:03Is this something you'd encourage them to come and do?
23:05Or do you think?
23:06Yeah, you know, it's erm, I think it's good for your confidence and stuff
23:10You're mixing with, from your builders to your sparks to, you know, actors, creatives
23:16Yeah
23:17Yeah
23:18It's a broad spectrum of different people
23:20Yeah
23:21Different backgrounds
23:22So I think it's a great melting pot of a workspace
23:25Yeah
23:26Okay, so lunch is ready to go
23:28Should we get on with breakfast then?
23:29Yes
23:30Lovely
23:31Fantastic
23:32It's almost 7am and I've offered to help Leon with the breakfast rush
23:36So here's the serving section
23:38You pack a lot into a tight space, don't you?
23:40There's a lot of options
23:41There's a lot of options
23:42Yeah
23:43Are you ready?
23:44Yes
23:45Do you mind if this...
23:46Oh hello mate, do you mind if I serve you today?
23:47Is that alright?
23:48It's his first day
23:49It's my first...
23:50If things go wrong, these are the pros, right?
23:51So they can tidy up after me if I cock it up
23:53Which is a distinct possibility
23:55What would you like?
23:56Can I have some conically please?
23:57Can I have one sausage please?
23:59Yes
24:00Smoked salmon cream cheese bagel coming right up
24:02Thank you
24:03Do you want any toppings on that?
24:04Do you want a hash brown as well?
24:05Hiya, you alright?
24:06Morning
24:08We're going to help you
24:09Two brown toasting
24:10A bit of scrambled egg
24:12Two poached eggs
24:13Two poached eggs
24:14Yeah
24:15There's a flow
24:16What I've noticed is
24:17When it's working
24:18One of you swaps in and out
24:19It's like
24:20You've got a feeling
24:21You know?
24:22Happy Friday
24:23That's okay
24:24Two sausages for Biagi
24:25Yeah
24:26If I choose incorrectly
24:27Then cut me some slack
24:30Hey chaps
24:31Thank you very much for letting me in
24:32And getting in your way
24:33Appreciate it
24:34Thank you lads
24:35Thank you very much
24:36Thank you
24:37Do you want to come back?
24:38I will
24:39I'm going to be
24:40Are you going to be serving me now?
24:41What's that?
24:42For a lot of the cast, working on this episode was a bit of a reunion
24:53Michael who plays Obioma
24:55And Sule who plays Omo
24:57Both appeared on stage in Inua's play The Barbershop Chronicles
25:01And for Sule, being in Doctor Who brings back some other memories
25:06Especially special for me
25:08Because this is the first time I was on here
25:09On the show as an SA
25:11Yeah
25:12It was 20 years ago
25:13No way
25:14Like apparently Dr Russell
25:15He's like day one of filming
25:16Sule was there on the first day of filming
25:19When the BBC and Russell T Davies brought back Doctor Who way back in 2005
25:24He appeared as a supporting artist in Aliens of London
25:29Confronting a space pig in a hospital
25:31So like it's come like full circle
25:33Full circle
25:34Yeah
25:35And believe it or not
25:36This is Aryan
25:37Or the barber to you and me
25:38Playing Leandro the Leonian
25:40Battling Peter Capaldi's Doctor
25:42So it seems the barbershop is the perfect location to catch up and hang out with old friends
25:49The four of you there's a real like team spirit real comrade
25:53Because obviously you've been in there for five years in the show
25:55But also working together intensely
25:56Yeah I think it's we're quite lucky actually
25:58Because some of us we know
25:59A lot of us know each other
26:00Yeah
26:01And I know Sule as well
26:03And it's quite you know that item was quite small
26:05But that I think that really helped
26:07And we've got quite a nice energy you know as ourselves
26:09Yeah
26:10Yeah
26:11It's just as friends
26:12Yeah I think
26:13So it kind of translates on the screen
26:14Yeah yeah
26:15And individually I can you can tell that each of us individually is really excited to be here
26:19And so when you bring that in and already that energy is going to be like
26:2395% the job is done for you
26:26Yeah
26:27It just gives it that extra edge and makes it so much easier to work
26:29It does it does
26:30Yeah it does
26:31Michael's a good friend
26:32Spola's a good friend
26:34Be reunited with Vee that I worked with before
26:36I'm meeting Jordan who's now going to be a good friend as well
26:39He noticed he got that in there as well
26:40Yeah I got that in you know
26:41He's the only one I've not met before
26:43Yeah
26:44So you know
26:45I was a newbie
26:46It's always fun
26:47I mean it's always a pleasure never a chore
26:49I mean I've been back quite a few times for different episodes
26:52And I mean I love the whole franchise of Doctor Who so
26:56It was a riot
26:57I knew from that first read through that it was going to be a very loud very energetic episode
27:03And indeed it was
27:05Each actor literally just like left themselves on that set each day
27:12They gave everything they possibly could give and that was very very special
27:16The cast are just amazing like we've had so many jokes
27:21There's been so much laughter and it's like being with my brothers it's been great
27:26Even though a bit annoying
27:27It was so fun this particular set we all bonded loads in those three weeks
27:40We enjoyed each other's company
27:42But actually when we finished I felt bereft I felt really sad I felt like I'd lost family members
27:48It was a very strange experience
27:50Lovely to chat to you man
27:52Thank you very much
27:53Really good
27:54Nice one
27:55Thank you so much
27:56See you guys
27:57Cheers
