#After i uploaded the screenshot from the trailer I noticed their expressions

All the new characters, QoL updates and new area are really cool and I'm looking forward to them.

But the thing that made me excited the most was to see Billy in the trailer! He probably is either the contact that connected the Phaeton siblings to the Outer Ring gangs or he tagged along. Either way, we probably will get some interactions with Billy and the Sons of Calydon, hopefully even more backstory for him?

Still hoping there will be an Agent episode of him in the future!

Also side note, a hint of BillyBelle, hehe.

Thanks to  @AngeliqueSings  for suggesting that my original plan for the "Never Tell Me The Rules" track (the 5th Doctor's regeneration in Caves) would probably work best for Logopolis. As this is more of a heroic track, I felt it worked best for the lead-up to the regeneration rather than the regeneration itself.

So I re-worked it slightly to sound more like a Paddy Kingsland piece of music (the composer of Logopolis) rather than one by Roger Limb (the composer of Caves of Androzani) and applied it to the scene of the Fourth Doctor unplugging the cable on the Pharos Project's satellite to disrupt the Master's plan of universal domination.

I had trouble isolating the dialogue in a way that wasn't jarring. My first attempt produced *just* the dialogue with no sound effects and it sounded awful. Then I realised that Audacity (the software I'm using for this) lumped in the sound effects (the movement of the dish and the Doctor whacking the cable with a wrench) with the percussion instruments, so I combined them.

This is why you'll hear the cymbal sound for dramatic moments like the Doctor letting go of the satellite beam - which I think works anyway - even if it's cut off at the end slightly. The music alone doesn't include that dramatic moment but the inclusion of a cymbal clash works well to evoke the nostalgia of the original music, and the dramatic effect of that moment. However, it cut out some of the sound of the satellite dish moving which is noticeable in the scenes with the Doctor trying to disconnect the cable. I did try to add the sound of an actual dish moving from a YouTube video I found, and isolated the sound from the voices - but it didn't quite work because that video was shot from a distance and had the sound of birds in the background which made it sound too positive for such a tense scene.

I also tried to make the ending less sudden by having a freeze frame of the Doctor's companion's expressions at the end - but it was almost comical in a 70s soap opera kind of way. As literally the next frame is back to the Master, I didn't want to end with that. So it ends with the companions look of horror, even if it is abrupt. Then I realised that this video leads nicely into my previous regeneration music for the Fourth Doctor - although the scenes overlap somewhat.

For that video, I used the Vale Decem score and titled it "Vale Quattuor".

I tried to upload them together but the Copyright gods wouldn't allow it. They don't seem to like any copyrighted material longer than about 4.5 minutes (hence my obscuring of the scene for the recent War Games video which was over 6 minutes). Which is a pity as I had a grand idea of stitching this with both that video and my Season 19 trailer to produce a 'deluxe' alternative end to Logopolis.

I may re-work that trailer video anyway now that I have vocal isolation software, which I didn't have available when I pieced together that trailer. Anyway, I think the sudden ending leads nicely into the regeneration video. and that video is linked on the end screen to go straight into it if you wish - this is a bit of an Easter egg as this is a special version of the regeneration that takes place straight after the events in this video, with a new stereo mix of Vale Quattuor, and includes the S19 trailer I made last year. It’s ONLY viewable via the end of this video (at least for now).

As usual, I tinkered with the thumbnail *after* I uploaded the video. I utilised a screenshot of the clean Logopolis credits provided by  @THEtimelessnerd  for the YouTube thumbnail, but the old version is on the video itself. If anyone notices that kind of thing! I'll still work on something for the Fifth Doctor's regeneration, and the 1st and 3rd regeneration's for that matter, for future projects.

Standing behind Gwilym and Joe, you jump a little at the feel of Ben’s arm snaking its way around your waist gently, and when you look in his direction he gives you a wink that sends a jolt of electricity throughout your body. You smile up at him as you lean in closer to his body and he kisses your temple twice before giving your side a squeeze.

“Are you okay?” he whispers as he nudges his nose through your hair and grazes his lips against your ear. You give a small nod in reply as you try and focus on the two men in front of you, but it’s no use as Ben’s warm breath sets fire to your skin.

“You know we haven’t actually started to film yet, right?” Joe asks as he turns to face you both.

“I know,” Ben smirks.

Joe rolls his eyes before turning back to face the crew and you can feel Ben’s eyes drifting over your body as you stand next to him as still as possible. It was difficult to concentrate around him and it had been like this since day one when he’d given you a lingering hug after you’d been introduced. It was no hardship pretending to be his other half, it all came very naturally as his affections continued off screen as well, but you knew it was purely to keep in character and help you feel comfortable when the cameras did start to roll.

“What are you doing for lunch?” Ben asks as your break begins.

“I was just going to get a sandwich from the food van,” you reply, painfully aware of how boring your answer sounds.

“Mind if I join you?”

“Of course not,” you smile. Ben takes your hand as you start to walk off set then swings your arms in the thin gap between your bodies and you hear giggling coming from behind you both.

“Guys!” Joe calls out, causing you both to turn around. You’re greeted by the sight of him laughing as he holds his phone up and films you both, then the laugh of Gwilym as well when they notice that you and Ben are doing your best supermodel pouts down the camera. “Did you two plan that?”

You look at one another with the same facial expression then start to crack up as Joe ends the short video and uploads it straight to his instagram story. Within moments both of your phones are buzzing with notifications of being tagged in screenshots of the video and the captions make you laugh as you make your way to the van to get some lunch.

“Oh, they’re cute together,” Joe smirks as he watches the video again once you’d both disappeared from sight. Gwilym peers over his shoulder to take a look as well, and chuckles lightly as he nods.

“You’re right. They’re cute. I’ve got a feeling they won’t need plus ones to the premiere when it comes around...”

You chuckle quietly as Ben sits down on the armchair in the studio with your hand in his, then tugs you down onto his lap and proceeds to run his fingers up and down the side of your thigh delicately. You rest your arm around his shoulders as your free hand finds a comfortable spot on his chest and he looks up at you with a smile before leaning in for a kiss.

“Roger, concentrate!” Gwilym sighs in exasperation as Brian.

“I am, I am!” he laughs, turning his attention to the guys but keeping a tight grip on your waist.

There were no speaking parts for you which suited right down to the ground, as you knew you’d mess them up from nerves if you did have to say something, and to be honest having Ben lavish you with attention was more than enough for you. The scene soon ends but as you go to get up Ben stops you from leaving, and you give him a questioning frown. Joe, Gwilym and Rami all watch as Ben whispers something to you and you both start to laugh uncontrollably, then the guys raise their eyebrows as they see Ben’s hand stop on your thigh and give it a hard squeeze as he bites his lip while trying to stifle another laugh.

“We’re being watched,” you say quietly as you lean in to Ben’s ear, and he shivers as your warm breath ghosts over his neck.

“Shall we take this somewhere a little quieter?” he asks.

“I think we should,” you nod.

You spot Joe with his phone once again as you turn to get up but he quickly puts it down when he notices you looking at him, and as soon as you and Ben get to his trailer all you can hear is his phone going off.

“Joe,” you both say at the same time.

Ben lifts his phone out of his bag and rolls his eyes before handing you the device to see you and Ben on Joe’s story yet again with hearts floating around you both as he zooms in an uncomfortable amount. You laugh at the short video then hand the phone back to Ben with an embarrassed smile.

“Feeling slightly relieved that filming’s almost over now,” you chuckle.

“You are?” Ben asks, feeling a little dejected.

“No! Well, yes… No, I mean being spied on by Joe,” you ramble, falling over your own words as you try to clarify what you mean.

“Ah! Yes, in terms of that, I agree,” Ben smiles, “but in terms of not being able to see you everyday...”

“Oh,” you reply shyly, completely unable to elaborate on your response.

“Sorry, was that too much?” Ben asks as he sits down opposite you.

“No, not at all. I just didn’t expect it.”

“You didn’t?” he almost laughs as he raises an eyebrow.

“Well, it’s all acting isn’t it?”

“Partly. But I’ll be first to admit that I haven’t had to act much around you,” he says as a blush creeps up his pale cheeks, “it’s come quite effortlessly when I’ve had someone as wonderful as you playing my other half.”

You sit in a stunned silence as you take in Ben’s words and your eyes look everywhere but at the man sitting opposite you while you try to think of an appropriate reply. An increasingly worried expression appears across Ben’s face when you finally make eye contact with him, and you know you need to say something soon before he gets the wrong idea.

“I agree,” you nod.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah,” you grin.

“Well that’s a relief,” he sighs happily, “had me worried for a moment there.”

Time had passed at a rapid rate since that short conversation you’d both had and now you were only a couple of hours away from the premiere in a hotel room getting your hair and make up done by a team of incredibly talented people. There are three knocks on the door just as the last hair clip is slid into place, and Ben appears in the doorway as one of the team open it up.

“Hello- woah,” he gasps as you get up and walk towards him in all your preened glory.

“Don’t,” you blush, “I won’t be able to recreate this look at home.”

“I wouldn’t want you to,” he smiles, “you look just as beautiful in my sweatpants and old t-shirts when you’ve just woken up.”

He slides his arms around your waist and the people around you both suddenly aren’t quite sure where to look as he pulls you close and kisses you deeply. When you pull away you lift your hand and wipe a smudge of lipstick from just beneath his lip, then Ben pulls his phone out and waves it around in front of you.

“Sorry, could you just take a quick photo for us please?” he asks the woman standing closest to you both.

“Of course,” she smiles as she takes the phone.

Ben turns his body to face yours with one arm still around your waist and you mirror his action, then he lifts his free hand to place his fingers gently underneath your chin and kiss you. The woman is pressing the button on his phone over and over to capture the moment, then she hands it back with a huge smile across her face when Ben turns to her.

“Thank you,” he nods. He starts to swipe through the photos and chooses one when your lips are just about to meet and smiles are evident on both of your faces. You watch as he opens up the instagram app and selects that picture to be posted with the caption found my date to the premiere…

“You’re going to send the fans wild with that,” you laugh as he hits the share button.

“Not as half as wild as you’re sending me right now,” he winks.

Request: so I was thinking that yn played Rogers wife on the film and the fans(and cast) started to ship them(because both are super freaking cute!)even before the film (thanks to Gwilym and Joe ig stories for that)and found out that they actually started to date irl
