Behind the Scenes of The Giggle - Part Six Excerpt from Benjamin Cook's DWM #597 Interview with Catherine Tate (with guest appearance by David Tennant)

"Do you know, we went to an escape room with Neil? He loves them. It was his birthday while we were here…” [ Neil Patrick Harris ] celebrated his 49th while filming Doctor Who in Bristol last month. By day, he donned the Toymaker’s tux and shimmied gleefully on the streets. By night, he took David and Catherine out to dinner, then on to Worlds Collide, Bristol’s best – and only – Doctor Who-themed escape room. Players are given 60 minutes to work out how to close a tear in the fabric of spacetime, before the Cybermen break through (the Toymaker has fought the Cybermen!!). “He’d booked it out,” says Catherine. “He’d shut down the whole place [for the night] and they let us in.” “Proper Hollywood,” says David. “Innit, though! That’s old money, that is,” she laughs. “And Jodie [Whittaker’s Doctor] turns up,” says David. “She was on a PA. As if –” “– as if she’s calling you. And there was a scarf. And a sonic screwdriver.” “And a Cyberman.” “A Cyberman head, yeah.” Aren’t Catherine and David… you know, overqualified for a Doctor Who escape room? “I was quite hopeful,” he says. “I thought, these are puzzles I’m going to be able to solve. But then–” “There were chess pieces,” says Catherine, in much the same tone of voice in which Donna once informed the Doctor that Santa’s a robot. “I mean, oh my God! Sorry, but how the hell –?” Neil was brilliant at it, though. “He was annoyingly good.” The Toymaker and his games are quite notorious. “Yes, because then he went, ‘Let’s do another one! We’re gonna do the World War Two room.’ That’s when I came to life.” “It’s true,” says David. “I loved that one. It was great. We were spies and we’d infiltrated a Nazi bunker.” “It involved a bit more role play, didn’t it? Very Toymaker. And zome outrageous ack-sents!” “But after the Doctor Who one,” says Catherine, “it was clear that Neil and David were better at it. There was a clear division between the coulds and the could-nots. So Neil and David went into one room, and me, [executive producer] Phil Collinson, and Charlie [De Melo], who plays… is it Charles Banerjee? [glimpsed in last year’s Christmas Day trailer, rushing through the rain towards Mr Emporium’s toyshop] – went in another room. I’d said to Phil and Charlie, ‘Let’s cut the deadwood and go into a room on our own.’ You do it against each other, and see who gets out first. “So me, Charlie and Phil had a right old laugh,” recalls Catherine, cracking up, “while David and Neil went off and… got out much quicker. Midway through ours, they’d already finished and were watching us scrabble around trying to get out of our German bunker.” She chuckles at the memory. “Then suddenly through the PA comes: ‘DONNAAA!!!’” David says nothing, but he looks very pleased with himself.

Also, from Charlie De Melo's Instagram:

I'm struggling to think of a stranger evening than one, last June, doing a @bbcdoctorwho themed escape room, with The Doctor, Donna and the Toymaker. David and Neil, it turns out, are *very* good at escape rooms. The rest of us, less so. They rushed around the room, picking up clues and turning switches and all manner of other things, whilst the rest of us looked on, utterly bemused (& a little tooty in my case). So on they powered. Leaving us scratching our heads in a room full of disembodied Cybermen ones. Before confusion could give way to frustration, the tannoy crackled. It was David. They'd somehow managed to finish the entire thing whilst we all had stood still where we'd been left. Although he'd lost his lilting, melodic, Scottish brogue. He was now The Doctor. And in the Doctor's voice he began barking orders at us, talking us through the puzzles and guiding us out of whatever wibbly wobbly mess we were in and back to the safety of Bristol. "Donna! Quick! You have to get them out of there, the Cybermen are coming!"

[starleska]

you know what makes the Toymaker's 'ge-sticking on dee hair meinself' scene extra horrifying? we've seen that he has the capability to transform people into toys with just a touch (e.g., turning those UNIT guards into balls)...which means he chooses to 'make' (i.e., hand-craft) his dolls piece by piece 👀 in The Giggle novelisation, he says of Donna: 'What lovely hair Donna Noble had. How I would enjoy stitching it into place on a doll's head and combing it nice and straight.' making living people into toys isn't just the unconscious act of a godlike entity with too much power: for the Toymaker it's a deliberate, sadistic act he takes pleasure in 😭 even scarier: although he wants to stitch Donna's hair to a doll's head, it's clear that he wants Donna's soul to be inside the body of that doll (as he mentioned putting her in a cabinet and inviting her out to play games). but in the episode, some poor woman's had her hair cut off and stitched onto Stooky Bill...so where's the rest of her? i think that the Toymaker doesn't just hand-craft his toys. i think he mixes and matches his toy parts from different people 😨

A brick in the bridge from Nu-Who to the Who-niverse and the future of this magnificent programme. Thank you, Russell. Thank you, Andy. I can't wait for what's next and to BURST with pride the moment @milliegibbo graces the screen.

CHARLIE DE MELO as Charles Banerjee DOCTOR WHO | The Giggle

[nkp1981]

New Pics From "The Giggle"

[denimbex1986]

'Believe it or not, fantastical Doctor Who episode The Giggle actually has some basis in real history – well, up to a point...

The third and last of the show's 60th anniversary specials opens in Soho, 1925, where Charles Banerjee (played by Charlie de Melo) is unwittingly stepping inside the domain of the Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris).

The visitor is looking for a test subject and selects Stooky Bill, a puppet, despite the Toymaker's protestations that he's separating Bill from his 'wife' Stooky Sue and their 'babies'.

Banerjee, we discover, is in the employ of one John Logie Baird (John Mackay, who played the same role in Russell T Davies' ITV drama Nolly), who is on the cusp of inventing television. Using the head of the dummy, the Scottish engineer is successful in his efforts to transmit a televised image between rooms in his laboratory at 22 Frith Street, London.

Of course, little does Baird suspect that his work has been corrupted by the Toymaker – oblivious, Baird is hailed as a genius and pioneer, with the end results of the Toymaker's work only making themselves apparent almost a century later, in 2023.

Though the real Baird didn't source his test subject from an omnipotent, extra-dimensional being – at least as far as we know – Stooky Bill did in fact exist...

Baird first devised a basic television system in 1924 – it used a spinning disk with 30 lenses to send moving pictures as electrical signals. The lenses picked up light from an object, and a device changed this into an electrical signal sent by radio waves. At the receiving end, a similar spinning disk with a light recreated the image of the object.

Baird's system was not able to televise human faces, because they had inadequate contrast, so he used the head of a ventriloquist's dummy – nicknamed "Stooky Bill" – whose brightly painted face had greater contrast. The lights illuminating the subject also generated so much heat that Baird couldn't use a human for testing – as seen in The Giggle, Stooky Bill's painted face eventually became cracked by the heat.

The puppet's unusual nickname came from Scots vernacular, with "stooky" or "stookie" being another word for plaster-cast and also being used to refer to a foolish person.

Doctor Who portrays Bill as having a 'family', but there is no evidence that Stooky Sue and the babies ever existed in reality – although Baird did use another male dummy, named "James", in his experiments.

John Logie Baird began giving public demonstrations of television in 1925 and 1926, even demonstrating the world's first colour transmission in 1928. A year later, in 1929, his company Baird Television Development Company Ltd. made the first television programmes officially transmitted by the BBC.

Baird died, aged 57, on 14th June 1946 – a blue plaque marking his first demonstration of television sits at 22 Frith Street, Westminster, London.'

Qual o ponto de intercessão entre as curvas e retas existente entre William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, Andrea Camilleri, Eduardo Galeano, João Cabral de Melo Neto, Lars Von Trier,Chico Buarque de Holanda, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Heitor Villa-Lobos e o Código Voynich*?

Por: Fred Borges

Em homenagem a meus amigos Charlie Brown e Snoopy.

As guerras mentem pois os homens mentem.

Todos são humanistas de diferentes e complementares ângulos,pedras angulares, e buscaram entender ou interpretar a alma humana.

O problema é que a alma humana é, em parte, um Código Voynich.

O que se sabe é que a alma nasce pura, mas a pureza, com o tempo, vai sendo perdida, portanto a alma vai sendo corrompida internamente, corruido externamente pelo desequilíbrio entre ser e estar, os países que tem como base o latim são prolixos,profiláticos, tornam barroca a alma,rococó deveras na palavra escrita,os anglo saxões são objetivos, folhas secas do outono,os latinos são um eterno verão,o calor esquenta o cérebro enquanto o sol esquentar o planeta, os ladinos ladram e deixam-se corroer pela ferrugem da carruagem, ferrugem trazida pelos ventos alísios, alados,calados, condensados, ebulidos,

pretenciosamente e intencionalmente arrefecidos ou aquecidos, devidamente calados ou silenciosamente silenciados de qualquer expressão que não seja a pungente, dominante, governante elemento elementar da corrupção endêmica, sistêmica e sistemática no calar, calabouço, cadafalso, cala realidade ou disfarçada verdade.

Andrea Camilleri afirma que " um povo se resigna está acabado.

Aqueles que perderam a esperança de encontrar um trabalho e por isso já não o procuram estão dando um passo em direção ao suicídio.

Antes, a atitude era outra (levanta a voz como que a emprestando a um desempregado): perco a esperança de encontrar um trabalho e atiro em você, porque a Constituição diz que a Itália é uma República fundada sobre o trabalho, portanto saíamos às ruas para pedi-lo...

Mas não saímos da praça. Isso requer dizer que a doença é muito grave!"

Pintadas caras viraram governo e se corromperam!

Resignação e resignados resignificaram a corrupção, resignação é tolerar a corrupção, Latina latrina dos excrementos postiços,paralíticos, tetraplégicos políticos da má política, que manipula a todos, inclusive os meios de comunicação, manipulados são a grande maioria dos resignados, calados, omissos por estarem encantados com os restos, migalhas, espalhadas, distorcidas, disseminadas, pasteurizada pela ampliação da ignorância sobre o saber ser, mais do que o estar ou transparecer ser.

"A chave para conhecer o próximo é conhecer a si mesmo.

Entender e saber escutar os demais ajuda a entender a nós mesmos.

Conhecer bem um homem seria conhecer-se a si mesmo.

A desgraça dos homens, o que impede que mostremos o que alenta nossa alma é que sabemos o que somos, mas não sabemos o que podemos chegar a ser.

Não devemos nos compadecer de nós mesmos, mas sim, deixar que as lágrimas ardentes caiam sobre o coração e que nele permaneçam sem secar, até que se desvaneça a causa que as gerou.

Estar atentos ao ensinamento que a dor nos traz:

“não te compadeças de mim! Somente preste atenção ao que vou revelar-te.”

Shakespeare, em Hamlet.

Em SHAKESPEARE, W. Rei Lear (Acto IV, Cena I).

"O VELHO - Oh senhor! Ele é louco!

GLOSTER - Esse é o castigo do tempo, conduzir ao cego o louco. Faze o que eu disse, ou faze o que

quiseres; mas, sobretudo, vai-te.

O VELHO - Vou dar-lhe a minha melhor roupa, venha-me disso seja o que for. (Sai.)

GLOSTER - Eh! Homem nu!

EDGAR - O pobre Tom tem frio. (À parte.) É-me impossível fingir mais

tempo.

GLOSTER - Vem aqui, amigo.

EDGAR (à parte) - Mas é preciso. - Abençoados sejam teus doces olhos, pois estão sangrando.

GLOSTER - Conheces o caminho para Dover?

EDGAR - Cancelas e porteiras, caminhos de cavalo e de pé. Espantaram o espírito do pobre Tom. Filho

do homem pio. Deus te preserve do demônio impuro. Cinco demônios entraram a um só tempo no pobre

Tom: Obidicut, o demônio da luxúria; Obbididance, príncipe do mutismo; Mahu, do roubo; Modo, do

homicídio; e Flibbertigibbet, das caretas e contorções, que desde então deixou possessas as criadas e

governantes. Salve, portanto, mestre!"

Cinco demônios entraram a um só tempo no pobre

Tom: Obidicut, o demônio da luxúria; Obbididance, príncipe do mutismo; Mahu, do roubo; Modo, do

homicídio; e Flibbertigibbet, das caretas e contorções.

Pão, vinho e circo manipulam os ignorantes, dominados pelas ideologias e pela fome para não morrer,saciam as fomes, fomes da sobrevivência, quem sobreviver não viverá o ser, será apenas estar, estar apanhado, apanhando, pescada alma pelo pescador Imperialista, capitalista ou comunista, mas nada mais restará, somente restos e migalhas, como diria em melodia e música Chico Buarque e filosofia de João Cabral de Melo Neto:

"Esta cova em que estás, com palmos medida

É a conta menor que tiraste em vida

É a conta menor que tiraste em vida

É de bom tamanho, nem largo nem fundo

É a parte que te cabe deste latifúndio

É a parte que te cabe deste latifúndio

Não é cova grande, é cova medida

É a terra que querias ver dividida

É a terra que querias ver dividida

É uma cova grande pra teu pouco defunto

Mas estarás mais ancho que estavas no mundo

Estarás mais ancho que estavas no mundo

É uma cova grande pra teu defunto parco

Porém mais que no mundo te sentirás largo..."

"E se somos Severinos iguais em tudo na vida, morremos de morte igual, mesma morte severina: que é a morte de que se morre de velhice antes dos trinta, de emboscada antes dos vinte, de fome um pouco por dia (de fraqueza e de doença é que a morte severina ataca em qualquer idade, e até gente não nascida)."

Humanismo, humanidade é o que nos dignifica, nos significa, nos dá significado, caso contrário somos mero trema pouco empregado latim reformado, trama, drama, grão, pão dormido, drão em música e melodia de Gilberto Gil:

"Drão, o amor da gente é como um grão

Uma semente de ilusão

Tem que morrer pra geminar

Plantar n'algum lugar

Ressuscitar no chão nossa semeadura

Quem poderá fazer aquele amor morrer

Nossa caminhadura?

Dura caminhada

Pela estrada escura..."

Dom Quixote revela a face oculta de um cobrador de impostos, assim como a face de Shakespeare, face da sensata loucura, talvez os loucos sejam os que tem sanidade e a sua insanidade foi ter enxergado por demais da conta, além ou aquém do nosso tempo, e não deram conta que precisamos ser nem secos e nem molhados por demais, na medida certa para viver, ver, negar a realidade por sê-la tão cruel, terrível, terror dos terroristas, de políticos sempre de plantão, oportunistas, exploradores sentimentalistas, populistas subindo a escada nas costas, de costas para a ignorância e a novas formas e formatos de escravidão moderna e eterna.

Em: As guerras mentem.

Eduardo Galeano, declara:

"Nenhuma guerra tem a honestidade de confessar: eu mato para roubar.

As guerras invocam, sempre, motivos nobres, matam em nome da paz, em nome de Deus, em nome da civilização, em nome do progresso, em nome da democracia e se por via das dúvidas nenhuma dessas mentiras for suficiente, aí estão os grandes meios de comunicação dispostos a inventar novos inimigos imaginários para justificar a conversão do mundo num grande manicómio e um imenso matadouro.

Em Rei Lear, Shakespeare, escreveu que neste mundo os loucos guiam os cegos e quatro séculos mais tarde, os senhores do mundo estão loucamente apaixonados pela morte, que transformaram o mundo num lugar onde a cada minuto morrem de fome ou de doença curável dez crianças e a cada minuto se gastam três milhões de dólares, três milhões de dólares por minuto, na indústria militar que é uma fábrica de morte.

As armas exigem guerras e as guerras exigem armas, e os cinco países que dominam as Nações Unidas, que têm poder de veto nas Nações Unidas, acabam por ser também os cinco principais produtores de armas.

Alguém perguntará, “Até quando?”

Até quando a paz mundial estará nas mãos daqueles que fazem o negócio da guerra?

Até quando vamos continuar a acreditar que nascemos para extermínio mútuo? E que o extermínio mútuo é o nosso destino?

Até quando?

Até quanto dinheiro será o calcanhar de Aquiles de todas as guerras em formas de guerra, guerrilha, paz, amor de hipócritas, cínicos, desviando o curso do rio Amazonas e calando o canto do Uirapuru pelo pássaro- natureza,por Villa- Lobos, as cores de Tarsila do Amaral, as curvas de Oscar Niemeyer, os jardins de Roberto Burle Marx?

A quem será que se destina?

"Existirmos a que será que se destina?

Pois quando tu me deste a rosa pequenina

Vi que és um homem lindo e que se acaso a sina

Do menino infeliz não se nos ilumina

Tampouco turva-se a lágrima nordestina

Apenas a matéria vida era tão fina

E éramos olharmo-nos intacta retina

A cajuína cristalina em Teresina..."Cajuína de Caetano Veloso.

*O Código Voynich é um dos livros mais afamados do mundo. Ele é um enigma estudado por séculos e até hoje, não decifrado. São 234 páginas belíssimas, sobre as quais nada se sabe.

[starleska]

did anyone notice the horned/pointy-eared, fanged face on the chalkboard of the room the Toymaker was keeping poor Charles Bannerjee in? 👀 although it could just be something silly and creepy, i think this is a compelling bit of evidence towards the Toymaker's influence on Fifteen's first series. to me, that drawing looks like a goblin...and i think what Fifteen said about '...the Toymaker's domain still lingering' is completely true, and it isn't just for a few seconds!! i've talked a little bit before about Fifteen's season tending more towards fantasy elements, and him seemingly preparing to face enemies who use alternative types of science and physics...what if the Toymaker's legions are indeed all of the fantastical monsters we're going to meet throughout this season?
