Behind the Scenes of The Star Beast - Part Seven

Excerpt from Benjamin Cook’s Star Beast Set Visit in DWM 597:

“Hey, there’s David Tennant,” says Russell [T. Davies, showrunner], as DT enters the gazebo. He comes bearing gossip. “I’ll give you a little Doctor Who snippet I’ve discovered today,” he says. “What?!” Russell leans in. “Jodie,” says David, pausing for the sheer drama of it – “Oh! Yes?” “– never unlocked the TARDIS.” Russell gasps. “What?!! NO!” “I went to use the lock and they said, ‘Oh, she never used it.’” “BUT –!” says Russell. “Never used it!!” repeats David. “Did she just push? Or did she mime? Has she got a phobia?” “I don’t know,” says David – Jodie’s a close mate, but he’s clearly reeling – “but that TARDIS lock doesn’t catch on anything. This,” he says, holding up the TARDIS key, “is spinning in thin air, when I do that,” he adds, miming turning it in the lock. “Isn’t that weird? She never locked it either! Madness.” Russell is astounded. “Have you heard this? Phil? Phil! David, tell Phil.” Phil [Collinson, exec. producer] enters the gazebo. David tells Phil. Phil looks shook. “She never used a key??” Three grown men – grown fans – sit in a gazebo in Camden, in silent disbelief. Eventually, Russell speaks: “You have to lock the door. There are always monsters trying to get in.” “You would think so, wouldn’t you?” says Phil.

Fourteen is just gonna turn that second TARDIS into a library, isn't he? It's gonna grow weeds around the bottom as it sits there in the backyard next to Rose's TARDIS. He's gonna dig through all of his outer space logs and find the weirdest creatures in the universe and then he's gonna sprint across and shove a picture in her face and say: Hey think you can make THIS one?? And all her customers are gonna be like: WHERE do you come up with this stuff?? And she'll tell em her uncle helps.

Over time, the TARDIS will learn to chill out too, grow smaller and slower and dimmer. The Doctor will get special issues and old tomes and otherworldly pamphlets delivered to Wilf's old newsstand and he'll wheel Wilf down to collect them and get a sneaky pie while Sylvia isn't looking. Sylvia is gonna say the TARDIS is too chilly (even though she barely steps inside the thing for fear of it flitting off with her) so she's gonna bring CHAIRS and pillows and throws and cups of tea. Mostly because Rose and her Dad like to hang out in there. Definitely not for the Doctor himself. (Although he does like her tuna madras better than anyone else does, so maybe she brings him some of that. Just so it doesn't go to waste). Sean will build the Doctor a desk and a little patio around the TARDIS perimeter so he can sit outside and sun himself. And when Donna comes home from a hard day's work at UNIT, he's gonna throw thick volumes at her, saying: oh I know what that is, read this, that'll help. And Donna will be like: WHY do I gotta read a big ole book when YOU can just TELL ME what we're dealing with? And Fourteen's gonna be like: oh no, I'm retired. And I'm working on a full written history of [insert weird alien name -- probly the horsey alien thing from "Wild Blue Yonder"]. But now and again, when things get really dire, she will persuade him to come to UNIT as a consultant. The TARDIS will stay put tho, it'll just keep growing grass around the bottom and gathering leaves on top. Instead, he'll chuck Donna the keys to the car and say: You're driving (and then he'll complain about her driving the whole way as he is scrunched up against the car door because Donna now has full license from UNIT to be a hoon).

Hey... Anyone else wonder what happened to Donna during the Year That Never Was? Did she die? She knew the Doctor, so was she one of the people manifesting his name in the end? I get that the Doctor doesn't talk to her about it because it's kind of hard to understand, or maybe it would traumatize her to think about it (it could stir some things up), but I wish we knew what happened to her and to Wilf and Sylvia... Just thinking about it, I feel really bad

David Tennant (Doctor 10) regenerated into Matt Smith (Doctor 11) in The End of Time part 2, which aired on January 2, 2010. Tennant was so popular in the role that there was talk within the BBC of just canceling the show when he retired. Tennant had starred in three regular seasons and one season of specials. He would return in the multi-Doctor story The Day of the Doctor and then, for the first time in the series, he became the first actor to play more than one version of the Doctor as Jodie Whittaker (Doctor 13) regenerated into him (The Power of the Doctor - 2020), making him both the 10th and 14th Doctors. The episode was the last episode with Russel T Davies as show runner and writer until he took back over with Tennant's return. It was the last appearance of John Barrowman as Jack Harkness in Doctor Who until the Fugitve of Judoon (2020). The episode featured the first appearance of Galifrey and the Time Lords (outside of the Doctor and the Master - Derek Jacobi/John Simm) in the revival series. The episode revealed that Rassilon (Timothy Dalton) was brought back to lead the Time Lords during the Time War, what the Time Lords were planning that caused the Doctor to end the Time War, that the Time Lords had messed with the Master's mind, and that Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke) and Martha Jones (Feema Agyemen) got married. The Doctor's death was so slow, he had time to visit all his past companions and friends before he died (according to The Sarah Jane Adventures "Death of the Doctor part 2" - 2010). Some of the visits that were shown in the episode were bringing Wilfred Mott (Bernard Cribbens) back home to Sylvia (Jacqueline King) and Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) (the sound of the TARDIS waking Donna from her coma), saving Martha Jones-Smith (Freema Agyemen) and Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke) from Commander Jast (Dan Starkey), saving Luke Smith (Tommy Knight) from getting hit by a car as well as seeing Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) before he left, giving Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) the name of Alonso Frame (Russell Tovey) at a space bar, meeting Varity Newman (Jessica Hynes) at a book signing and asking about her grandmother(Variety was named after Variety Lambert the original producer of Doctor Who and the character was the granddaughter of Joan Redfern from the 1913 based episodes Human Nature and The Family of Blood - 2007), witnessed the wedding of Dona Noble to Shuan Temple (Karl Collins), where he gave a winning Lottery ticket as a wedding present (also appearances of Nerys - Krystal Archer and Minnie Hooper - June Whitfield), watched Rose (Billie Piper) and Jackie Tyler (Camille Coduri) (before the events of Rose - 2006) on New Years 2005. Steven Moffat, the incoming show runner, wrote the ending scene introducing Matt Smith. ("The End of Time part 2", Doctor Who, Vlm 2, TV Event)

Behind the Scenes of The Star Beast - Part 13

Excerpt from Emily Cook's interview with Miriam Margolyes for Doctor Who Magazine #596:

I’m very fond of the Doctor Whos that I know,’ says Miriam. “I worked with Patrick Troughton on radio. Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker, too. Most of my Doctor Whos were friends from radio. Tom Baker’s got that amazing voice. I love him. I think he’s very special. I like his sense of humour. He’s so funny and witty. Tom is also outspoken, in a lovely way. “I met Peter Davison at a convention. I do conventions for Harry Potter and sometimes they’re joined up with Doctor Who.” DWM points out that Miriam can now do both. “I’m very pleased about that. A lot of the conventions are full of old stars. I probably know Colin Baker least of all, but I have met him at conventions. “Then I got to know Sylvester McCoy who was Doctor Who Number 7. I love Sylvester. He’s a darling. Sylvester and I worked together many times, and latterly in The Real Marigold Hotel [2016]. We have a very firm friendship, and he was the person who started me doing Cameos.” Cameo is a video-sharing site that allows celebrities to send personalised video messages to fans. “Sylvester introduced me to it. I saw him doing one and I said, ‘What are you doing?’ And he said, ‘I’m doing this Cameo thing, you should do it, you get paid for it.’ I said, ‘Can you put me on to it then?’ And he said, ‘Yes.’ So he sent me the website and I signed up for it. For the first year, he got five per cent commission from mine, because that’s how they encourage people: recommendations. And now I’m one of Cameo’s top people.” Has Miriam recommended it to anyone? “I think I asked Pat Hodge if she would do it. Imagine asking Judy Dench if she would…” Miriam continues running through her associations with the Doctors. “I worked with Christopher Eccleston in a television play. He’s wonderful. They’re always such good actors, these Doctors! David Tennant, I’d never worked with but I’ve always admired him. Peter Capaldi, I know because I did a film with him in Romania about Modigliani, the painter. I think he’s wonderful. And he’s Scottish, like David, and Sylvester. I have a special affection for the Scottish Doctors. My father was a Scottish doctor, you see.”
