Behind the Scenes of The Star Beast - Part Five

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

Tonight, in London’s famous Camden Market, David will be taking the Fourteenth Doctor’s first, not-so-tentative steps into the big, wide world – shooting the pre-title sequence for Special 1, The Star Beast. Although, right now he’s sheltering inside Modfather (‘VINTAGE STYLE, MODERN LIFE,’ says a sign in the outfitters’ window), to evade the glare of the cameraphones. In his new Doctor Who costume – plaid brown suit, white shirt and knitted silver tie, with a dark blue Shetland tweed coat – David doesn’t look at all out of place here. In October 2022, a mere 12 years, 9 months and 22 days after his last regular appearance in Doctor Who – as the Tenth Doctor, in The End of Time – David Tennant returned to the show. We’d never seen a Doctor regenerate into a former body before. For context, classic Who fans: David turning up in the dying moments of The Power of the Doctor is a bit like if Peter Davison had regenerated into Patrick Troughton’s Sixth Doctor at the end of Time-Flight, in 1982. Which he didn’t. Though, while we’re on the subject… David remembers watching Troughton return in the ’80s, for the odd one-off: “That felt like a man from pre-history turning up, to me in 1983, because I was just – what? – 12 years old,” he says of 20th Anniversary Special The Five Doctors. “But I bet it felt like yesterday for Patrick Troughton.” Forty years on, David can relate: “It’s like when people tell me – in fact, people on this set, working on this show, have come up to me this past week and gone – ‘I loved watching you as a kid.’ I’m like, … you were a kid? What, no! To me, it was a blink of an eye ago. To them… I’m pre-history!” But now he’s the present, too.

Tag Post, one of those, they are fun

tagged: @prince-of-elsinore Thank you lovely <3 ☺️

rules: tag some people you'd like to know better/catch up with.

last song: To be slightly less predictable, I gotta say "Brand New Start" by Paul Weller, this ol' roughened yet golden voice singing in a kind of achey way, about getting his shit together, fixing up what's broken, finding something real, making this old fixer upper of a soul work again, like a new thing. OH, PAUL.

currently reading: The usual shame about having not picked up and finished an actual book in awhile. On the bright side, reading all kind of great fanfic, including this little beaut of a gen fic by an author called ceramicheart, anything by them really: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42465276

last movie: I don't know if the three hour "History of the Eagles" counts, but I've become obsessed with this man right here:

Sitting here with my guitar I don't deserve, trying to eek out some semblance of the intro to "Life in the Fast Lane." Joe Walsh, you fucking dude, you.

currently watching: Also trying to cut back, but I started re-watching some of 'Endeavour' which is WONDERFUL, particularly the episode "Fugue". Shaun Evans and Roger Allam shine so brightly together. Watch Inspector Thursday take Morse home and feed him, good for the soul.

currently craving: Beer and tacos, and it not being a work night.

tagging: only if y’all feel like it! A no pressure catch up with @justtoarguewithyou @stevieraebarnes @allthatsentimentalcandyfloss @storyshark2005 @savageandwise
