Welcom
ystery solved! Created by
Doctor Who showrunner
Steven Moffat, Clara
Oswald - christened
‘The Impossible Girl’ by
the Doctor - had been
devised as a mystery as well as someone to
accompany the Doctor on his adventures.
Initially, the audience has one up on the
Doctor. Encountering Oswin Oswald in
Asylum of the Daleks [2012 - see Volume 70},
the Doctor only hears her, and so does not
immediately realise that it’s the same as
girl as the Victorian Clara Oswald he meets
in The Snowmen [2012 - see Volume 72].
But Mr Moffat was cleverly playing with
the audience who not only could see Oswin
in Asylum of the Daleks, but knew full well
that the actress playing her, Jenna-Louise
Coleman, had been cast as the Doctor’s
new companion. What was going on?
When the penny finally drops for the
Doctor, realising that both Oswalds, who
have both met tragic ends, are one and the
same person, he works out something a bit
odd is going on. Receiving an unexpected
phone call, he is able to track down a third
version of the same person - also called
Clara Oswald - in the twenty-first century.
EAN XANNNNRARE
Determined to solve the mystery of this
seemingly impossible girl, the Doctor
contrives for her to join him aboard the
TARDIS in The Bells of Saint John [2013 -
see Volume 72]. Initially suspecting that
Clara was aware of her multiple selves, and
was deliberately deceiving him as part of a
trap, the Doctor challenges her to tell the
truth in Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
[2013 - see Volume 73]. However, he
realises that she is even more in the dark
about it than he is.
The truth is finally revealed - to Clara,
the Doctor and the audience - in The Name
of the Doctor [2013 - see page 82]. Clara
herself is responsible for creating her own
duplicates - millions of them - when she
jumps into the Doctor’s timeline in his
tomb on Trenzalore, intent on saving him
from the Great Intelligence. The many
different Claras, which River Song refers
to as “splinters” or “fragments”, appear
in many different guises throughout
the Doctor’s entire life. For the most
part, he is unaware of her presence, but
occasionally meets and interacts with her
- including the moment when he and his
granddaughter Susan first fled Gallifrey.
We later learn that the Doctor’s meeting
with the original Clara was orchestrated
by his arch-enemy, the Master, but now in
female form and known as Missy. It was
Missy that gave Clara the Doctor’s phone
number, bringing the two together for
her own devious reasons, and seemingly
unaware that her manipulation will lead to
Clara splintering herself on Trenzalore, and
populating the Doctor’s timeline.

inspired - in part at least - by
the similarly titled story phe
Green Death a >see
ome
Private to this, The Crimson Horror fentared
a prehistoric leech whose venom made its
victims turn bright red. In a twist on the
original, this time the Doctor himself
was infected.
The story incorporated many other
traditional elements. At the heart of the
story was a female villain - the wicked
Mrs Gillyflower. The climax of the story
revolved around the imminent launch of
a deadly rocket - a plot device employed in
Revenge of the Cybermen [1975 - see Volume
23], among others. There was also a link to
& DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
Ark in Pore [see Volume 22].
In other respects, The Crimson Horror
took the series into new territory. It
was the first time we'd seen a TV story
set in Yorkshire. It was some years before
the county featured again, with some
scenes in The Pyramid at the End of the
World [2017] set there - and in that case
we were inside a lab that could have
been anywhere.
With the Doctor initially incapacitated
by the Crimson Horror, this story
showcased the investigative team of Vastra,
Jenny and Strax, first seen in A Good Man
Goes to War [2011 - see Volume 68] and
since then in The Snowmen [2012 - see
Volume 72]. Watching The Crimson Horror
it’s easy to imagine how they could have
their own series of adventures away from
the Doctor.
The Doctor himself, meanwhile,
exhibited a much easier, closer relationship
with his companion Clara. Arriving in
Yorkshire they had pretended to be a
married couple to infiltrate the community
of Sweetville. At the end of the story,
when Angie facetiously referred to the
Doctor as Clara’s ‘boyfriend’ she let it
pass. Ultimately, this was cleared up
when, after his regeneration, the Doctor
clarified the situation and said he’s not
her boyfriend in Deep Breath [2014 - see
Volume 76]. But the strong bond that
they formed at this earlier stage was an
important development, as in The Name
of the Doctor [see page 72] she would
sacrifice everything for him. ®@

STORY
he year is 1893, and a husband and
his wife, Edmund and Effie, are
investigating a sinister factory in
Sweetville. Effie is captured by the owner,
Mrs Gillyflower, who expresses sympathy
for Edmund's death... [1]
Edmund's brother, Mr Thursday, collects
his brother’s corpse from a mortuary. The
corpse is bright red: Amos the morgue
attendant calls it the “Crimson Horror”.
Thursday visits Madame Vastra,
explaining that his brother was a journalist
working undercover. Thursday has taken
an ‘optogram’ of the last thing his brother
saw; the Doctor, gasping! [2]
They go to Sweetville, where Jenny
attends a lecture by Mrs Gillyflower where
she presents her blinded daughter Ada
as an example of the consequences of
moral turpitude.
Jenny joins a line of new recruits to the
factory community. A girl called Abigail
DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
provides a distraction enabling Jenny to
enter the mill - which is an empty hall
where loudspeakers broadcast the sound
of machinery. [3]
Jenny hears a thumping coming from
behind a locked door. She opens it - to
discover the Doctor, chained up, stiff as
a post and bright red! [4] She helps him
outside, then hides as Ada passes by.
She sees people being lowered into a vat
of the ‘Crimson Horror’, then helps the
Doctor into a metal booth. It fills with
green steam - and he emerges, restored
to normal.
He relates how he and Clara arrived in
Sweetville, just as a victim of the Crimson
Horror was found in a canal. Examining
it, the Doctor discovered Mrs Gillyflower’s
reflection in the victim’s eye. He and Clara
then met Gillyflower, who showed them
two of her recruits - petrified inside a
giant bell jar. [5] The Doctor and Clara
were then dunked in the vats. With the
Doctor, the preservation process went
wrong - so Ada locked him up. Edmund,
another reject, set eyes on him just before
he died.
Strax is driving in a horse-drawn
carriage. Looking for Sweetville, he
enlists the help of a young boy called
Thomas Thomas. [6]
The Doctor finds Clara beneath a bell
jar. He smashes it.
Ada informs her mother that the Doctor
has escaped, so Gillyflower decides to
accelerate her plans. She tells her daughter
that she has no place in her new world. [7]
The Doctor places Clara into one of the
metal booths, while Jenny fends off some
of Gillyflower’s ‘pilgrims’. [8] They are
joined by Strax and Vastra and run with
the restored Clara.
Clara points out that the factory
chimney doesn’t blow smoke - it contains
a rocket with which Gillyflower intends to
poison the Earth’s atmosphere! [9]
The Doctor finds Ada and thanks her
for saving him. He goes with her and
Clara to Gillyflower’s drawing room,
which contains the controls for the rocket.
Gillyflower reveals ‘Mr Sweet’ - a red
parasite attached to her décolletage.
She sets the rocket to launch, intending
to wipe out humanity with Mr Sweet’s
venom so she can replace them with
her pilgrims. The Doctor confronts
Gillyflower about her experiments on Ada;
Gillyflower admits it, and Ada is enraged.
She attacks her mother, but Gillyflower
holds a gun to her head and leaves with
her as a hostage. [10]
She takes her to the chimney and
fires the rocket. It takes off - but Jenny
and Vastra have removed the venom.
Strax shoots Gillyflower and she
falls downstairs. Mr Sweet abandons
Gillyflower as she dies, only to be crushed
by Ada. [11]
The Doctor and Clara say farewell
to Vastra, Jenny, Strax and Ada and
depart in the TARDIS. Clara is returned
to the present day - only to find that
the children she looks after, Angie
and Artie, have found out about her
time-travelling adventures... [12]

thought it was time to start
a story from their point of
view - to see them tackle a
case of their own, and stumble
across the Doctor’s path, quite
accidentally,” Steven Moffat told
Radio Times with regards to the Victorian
investigative trio of Jenny, Strax and
Vastra. The production schedule for the
series was outlined with two Victorian
episodes featuring the team to be made
over summer 2012: the Christmas Special
and one other. “I had planned for myself to
write a Vastra, Jenny and Strax adventure
and I realised that I wasn’t going to get to
do that, so I called in my old friend Mark
Gatiss and he was delighted at the idea,”
Moffat explained to BBC America.

Since late 2011, Mark Gatiss had been
working on the script to Cold War [2013
- see Volume 73], to be recorded in 2012,
and had completed the second draft in
early February, shortly before returning
to the stage. In mid-February, he opened
in a production of the 1706 play The
Recruiting Officer by George Farquhar at
the Donmar in London. Also in the cast
was Rachael Stirling, an acclaimed young
actress who had come to prominence in
the 2002 series Tipping the Velvet, and who
had since appeared in films such as Women
in Love and had recorded Big Finish’s Doctor
Who audio story Trail of the White Worm
in August 2011; Gatiss had also worked
with Stirling in the 2004 Marple episode
The Murder at the Vicarage. Prior to this, in
September 2007 Gatiss had opened in a
production of All About My Mother at the
London Old Vic, appearing with Stirling’s
mother, the acclaimed actress Dame
Diana Rigg with whom he had struck up
“a friendship. Born in 1938, Diana Rigg

heroine Mrs Emma Peel in the successful
1960s TV series The Avengers; since then

t was while he was still revising the
ite for Cold War and embarking on
the script for An Adventure in Space and
Time (a drama about the creation of Doctor
Who) that Gatiss received a text message
from Steven Moffat suggesting that he
could write a second episode for the 2013
run of the series, and that this should
have a Victorian setting which would fit
neatly alongside the Christmas episode
that Moffat himself was devising. Gatiss
had a particular passion for the Victorian
era — as in his first Doctor Who script The
Unquiet Dead [2005 - see Volume 48]. He
was also delighted to learn that Moffat
was planning to revisit the characters of
Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax - as seen
in A Good Man Goes to War {2011 - see
Volume 68] - in his Christmas Special, and
quickly it was agreed that it would be fun
to incorporate them in his adventure.
Gatiss’ initial idea was a story in which
the Doctor met Arthur Conan Doyle, the
creator of the literary detective Sherlock
Holmes. Because Doyle was an ophthalmic
surgeon, he was approached regarding a
situation where the eye of a victim had
captured the image of their killer. However,
Pre-production
as the story developed there was very little
for Doyle to do alongside the Doctor, and
with regret Gatiss informed Moffat that
this plan was not working.
Gatiss was then keen to produce an
adventure with a northern feel. “I thought
this would be interesting to do a proper
northern [story] with proper northern
actors,” the County Durham-raised writer
and actor told the BBC website. After
feeling that a ‘celebrity historical’ made the
plot too crowded, Gatiss decided to focus
on a narrative with a strong villainess,
feeling there had been too few female
antagonists for the Doctor to face.
An early idea was entitled Mother’s Ruin
and focused on a formidable woman
prominent in a temperance league who
would be hatching an insane plan with
her daughter.
Rigg had stayed in touch with Gatiss and
attended the third preview of The Recruiting
Officer, going to dinner with the actor and
her daughter afterwards. Next day, Gatiss
was chatting to Stirling who noted that she
and her mother had never worked together

coup, since Rigg had rarely
made guest appearances in
episodes of established series.
Having never seen Doctor
Who, Rigg was introduced
to it with a selection of clips
showing villains from the
series including figures such
as Harrison Chase from The
Seeds of Doom [1976 - see
Volume 25] and Tlotoxl from
The Aztecs [1964 - see Volume
2], as well as strong female
characters such as Lady
Adrasta from The Creature
from the Pit [1979 - see
Volume 31], Captain Wrack
from Enlightenment [1983 -
see Volume 37] and the Rani
as seen in Time and the Rani [1987 - see
Volume 43]; this was assembled by Michael
Dennis, the stage manager on The Recruiting
Officer, who was a great fan of Doctor Who.
The creature ‘Mr Sweet’ hailed not from
space, but from the Jurassic era of Earth
- and the name came from journalist and
broadcaster Matthew Sweet. Sweet had
been a good friend of Gatiss’ since their
first meeting at the 2005 press launch for
Doctor Who’s return; Gatiss had admired
Sweet’s 2001 book Inventing the Victorians
about myths of the Victorian era, and
discussed aspects of Victorian life at length
with Sweet during the development of
his story. In particular, it was Sweet who
brought to Gatiss’ attention the London
match girls’ strike of 1888 by workers
at the Bryant and May factory in Bow,
prompting aspects of the story concerning
a match factory and the health threats
caused to workers in the industry. When he
DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
read that some of the women who worked
at the factory had ended up glowing and
vomiting bright green because of the
phosphor which they worked with, Gatiss
felt that such elements had a feel to them
similar to The Avengers.
Gatiss had studied at Bretton Hall
College near Wakefield in West Yorkshire,
not far from the Victorian model village
of Saltaire where Gatiss had worked on
the BBC drama Spanish Flu during May
2009; this community had been founded
near Bradford in 1851 as housing for the
workers at the woollen mills of industrialist
Titus Salt, who named streets after each of
his 11 children, including his daughter Ada
(although Gatiss was unaware of this when
he wrote his script). Sweetville was derived
from some of the background of Saltaire,
and also Bournville, a similar venture to
the south of Birmingham established by
George Cadbury in 1893 as a suburb for
workers at the Cadbury’s chocolate factory.
“Tve always loved the idea of those sort
of Victorian philanthropists who made
all these beautiful workers’ cottages and
then ran them like dictators,” Gatiss told
Doctor Who Magazine, recalling how the
character of Mrs Winifred Gillyflower
came about. The ancient parasite of Mr
Sweet was inspired in part by reference
to ‘the repulsive story of the red leech’
in the Sherlock Holmes short story The
Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez written
by Arthur Conan Doyle and published in
1904. Gatiss also drew upon the classic
1966 comedy-horror film Carry On
Screaming! which had an Edwardian-era
plot of kidnapped young women being
turned into motionless shop window
mannequins after being dipped into
a processing vat. The Thursday brothers
were named consequently in a nod to
GK Chesterton’s 1908 thriller novel The
Man Who Was Thursday.
Gatiss quickly developed a first draft
script of The Crimson Horror by the end
of March while he was still appearing on
stage. During this time, Rigg had to have
an operation on her knee and on one
occasion Stirling had found her facing
the wall, explaining to her daughter, “You
know I can’t bear to look at sick people.”
When Stirling related this incident to
Gatiss, he added it to the script as part of
the relationship between Mrs Gillyflower
and her daughter, Ada. The northern
setting was also ideal for Diana Rigg who
had been born in the Yorkshire town
of Doncaster.
The Crimson Horror and the Christmas
Special were to be made together as part
of the sixth production block (‘Block Six’),
directed by Saul Metzstein.

inside Sweetville, Effie and Edmund were

When Thursday discussed the idea of an
optogram with Vastra, Jenny commented,
“I heard about that. They photographed
the eyes of the Ripper’s last victim, didn’t
they? Didn’t find anything, though.”
“They wouldn't,” commented Vastra.
Jenny said that she and her mistress were
very interested in photography (“I done

COMPLETE HISTORY
Strax and Vastra arrived along the street
in the coach, causing the pilgrims and
Mrs Gillyflower to flee in terror. Vastra
told the Doctor about the parasite as
they returned to the mill, with the Doctor
going back to the shuttered room to find
Ada; he then sent Vastra, Strax and Jenny
off on a mission guided by Ada while he
confronted Mrs Gillyflower in the parlour
alone and met Mr Sweet. Meanwhile, Strax
distracted the pilgrims guarding a brass
cone at the mill so that Vastra and Jenny
could knock them out with ninja kicks.
The Doctor got a signal from Jenny via a
tiny communicator, but Mrs Gillyflower
activated her organ lever, causing the
chimney to crumble away and reveal
a vast rocket. The rocket launched and
Mrs Gillyflower played Jerusalem at the
organ... then noticing that Jenny, Strax,
Vastra and Ada had arrived. The rocket
exploded in the sky - the Doctor’s friends
had already removed the poison, and the
Doctor revealed that Ada had not been
blinded by her mad, poker-wielding father.
Pulling a gun, Mrs Gillyflower made her
escape, with Strax opening the parlour
door with his blaster. The villainess fled
from Sweetville in an elegant two-wheeled
phaeton carriage, hotly pursued by the
Doctor’s party in Vastra’s carriage with
Strax at the reins. A gun battle between
carriages ensued during the chase. Strax
almost collided with a third carriage and
hit the kerb, being pitched forward over
the horses to vanish in the foggy night.
Without a driver, the carriage hurtled
on, with a young couple emerging from
a pub into the path of the strange chase.
Mrs Gillyflower’s carriage entered some
elegant gates, eluding her pursuers - but
suddenly Vastra’s carriage appeared before
her at a crossroads. Thrown from her
carriage, Mrs Gillyflower was impaled by
the stone torch held by the town statue;
Ada then killed Mr Sweet. Lost in the fog,
Strax encountered Thomas Thomas
(“My friends call me Tom Tom”) as he
looked for Faraday Street. The Doctor
then revived the young people processed
at the mill, and later in the TARDIS
attended to the motionless Clara who was
connected to the console by wires. The
Doctor then parked the TARDIS close to
a sun and flung the carboy of venom out
into space. Saying farewell to Vastra, the
Doctor gave her a portable perception
filter to stick in her ear which meant that
she would no longer have
to go around veiled. Entering
the TARDIS, he found Clara
recovering and revealed
that they were in Yorkshire...
and he could murder an
Eccles cake.
Clara’s role was
substantially increased in
Draft 2 dated Tuesday 3
April. In the pre-credits,
the role of Abigail in the
conversation with Sissy
was now taken by Jenny.
Consequently, Vastra was
alone when visited by
Thursday, and informed her client that her
colleague had disappeared; Thursday now
fainted when Vastra rang for Strax and it
was Strax who blew up the photograph.
When Mrs Gillyflower gave her speech
at the chapel, one of the new applicants

herself talking to Sissy as they queued for
selection. It was now Clara who found the
rejected Doctor and guided him to the
revivification coffin; as the Doctor revived,
he recalled in flashback the events leading
up to his incarceration.

encountered Thomas Thomas while
lost in the fog, and the ‘Battle of the
Supermodels’ took place inside the mill
while Clara was being revived. Strax was
not present at the fight but was at the
mill, fitting a nose bag to the horse (“You
see, that’s my problem. I once ordered an
entire battalion on Javron Four to certain
and violent death. Now I’m feeding cereal
crop to a quadrupedal beast of burden.

no longer collapsed to reveal the rocket,
so Strax climbed the ladder bolted to it
and the climax now took place inside the
chimney; the Doctor and his friends leapt
to safety through a blast door as the rocket
took off, while Mrs Gillyflower tumbled
down the chimney. The Doctor no longer
disposed of the carboy into a sun from the
TARDIS, but left it with Strax.

from her body. The Doctor no longer gave
Vastra a perception filter in the closing
scene. The second readthrough draft of
Crimson Horror dated Thursday 28 June
was virtually the same as the shooting
script; it was still set in 1888, omitted
Edmund explaining about Effie, relocated
the ‘Battle of Supermodels’ - with Strax -
to the revivification chamber, and saw Mrs
Gillyflower fall to her death upon seeing
the Sontaran.
The readthrough for The Crimson Horror
took place at Spm on Thursday 28 June
at the BBC’s Roath Lock studios; Matt
Smith had been working on pick-ups for
The Power of Three [2012 - see Volume 71]
and The Angels Take Manhattan [2012 - see
Volume 72] while Jenna-Louise Coleman
had been recording on Cold War. Smith,
who adored period pieces,
was delighted with the script,
describing it to the BBC
website as a “love letter to
Doctor Who”. Returning for
the two Victorian episodes
were Neve McIntosh, Catrin
Stewart and Dan Starkey
as Vastra, Jenny and Strax
respectively. Forming a
detective team in Victorian
London, it was decided
that the trio would have
seen the Doctor a few more
times since the events of

them out on some of their
assignments; at this stage,

Starkey had recorded Big Finish’s Doctor

production on the new episodes, McIntosh
regularly returned to Scotland where her
mother was undergoing chemotherapy.
“T think those three should have their own
show; they are just brilliant!” Matt Smith
told BBC America, adding, “I based the
idea of the Doctor and Strax on [sitcom
characters] Blackadder and Baldrick,
because he’s just constantly berating
Strax, but he sort of loves him.” Of the
remaining cast, Brendan Patricks in the
dual roles of the Thursday brothers had
appeared in Horne e& Corden and Downton
Abbey, Graham Turner (playing Amos) had
featured regularly in Insiders and Where
the Heart Is, while Michelle Tate (playing
Abigail) had been in Borgia and The Case,
and Olivia Vinall was to portray Effie.
ollowing the readthrough, the
Fe scccrs script was issued on
Friday 29 June. In it, Mrs Winifred
Gillyflower was described in the script as
‘striking, formidable... a vision of northern
grit in black bombazine, a high, lace
collar covering her neck’ and her retinue
of pilgrims was outlined as ‘half a dozen
beautiful women in Salvation Army-like
uniforms and bonnets’. Ada was described
as ‘a lovely young woman... a livid scar
runs across her face. She is quite blind’
Edmund Thursday and Effie were ‘an
anxious young couple’ while Amos was
‘a disreputable looking hunch-backed
morgue attendant’ and Jonas Thursday
was ‘the double of Edmund except for
his huge black moustache’. Abigail was
described as ‘20s’.
The imprisoned Doctor was described
with reference to the creature from Mary
Shelley’s 1818 Gothic novel Frankenstein;
or, The Modern Prometheus: ‘a terrifying
figure. Like the Frankenstein Monster, he’s
shackled at the wrists and ankles. His skin
is waxy and glowing red. He opens his
mouth in desperate, mute appeal!’ Later
when Jenny helped the Doctor escape,
the stage directions referenced the Tin
Woodman from L Frank Baum’s 1900 book
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939
movie incarnation: ‘He moves stiffly, like
the Tin Man. He points feebly towards a
pile of stuff in the corner. His frock-coat
is there. Jenny hands it to him and he
clutches it to his chest as if
his life depends on it’ The
revivification chamber was
described as ‘a room filled
with rows of coffin-shaped
metal cases with glass pipes
projecting from them’

The laboratory in which the

laboratory’ with reference to Robert
Louis Stephenson's 1886 fantasy novella
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
and its numerous film and television
adaptations. When Jenny took on the
pilgrims, the stage directions noted ‘in

fight with the pilgrims, Strax suggested
deploying mimetic grenades to destroy
the factory. After reviving, on emerging
from the lift Clara looked at Vastra as the
reptile woman commented on recognising
the symptoms of the red flesh; “H... hi,”
she said nervously to Vastra and Jenny to
which the Victorian couple replied - weakly
- “hello” to the reincarnation of the dead
governess. Recalling the parasite, Vastra
commented, “Perhaps it survived all these
millions of years just as my people did.” It
was originally the Doctor who realised the
significance of a chimney that produced
no smoke. Originally, on entering the
parlour, Clara made a move towards
Mrs Gillyflower, but the Doctor warned
her, “She’s dangerous. Like a cornered
tigress.” “Flatterer,” replied Mrs Gillyflower
before describing the Doctor and Clara
as “rejects. Dribbling, inconsequential
nothings.” When the mill owner decreed
they must be eradicated, the Doctor told
her to “change the wax cylinder”, mocking
her into explaining why she had petrified
her work force as the “chosen few” for the
future. When the Doctor revealed why
Ada was blind, Mrs Gillyflower told the
horrified Clara, “Sometimes sacrifices
must be made...” After the Doctor broke
the window with the chair, there was a
short scene of Strax climbing the ladder on
the side of the chimney; from below, the
voice of the urchin called, “Go on, Potato
Man! You can do it!” A similar scene
appeared after Mrs Gillyflower forced her
Pre-production
daughter into the rocket chamber; this
showed Strax almost losing his grip on the
ladder, but regaining his balance... with a
cheer from the urchin below. Originally in
the climactic scene in the chimney, when
Mrs Gillyflower was about to fire at the
carboy of venom, Strax appeared upside Left:
down on a rope, hanging from the lip of
the chimney with his blaster raised. At
the sight of the Sontaran, Mrs Gillyflower
shrieked, stumbled and so fell down the
empty chimney, whereupon Vastra looked
over at her butler and winked. Before the
Doctor and Clara departed, there was
a scene in the dipping vat room where
the Doctor supervised the reanimation
of the young people who had been
‘dipped’, with the first to emerge from the
revivification coffins being Abigail. In the
original closing scene in the alley, Clara
held the carboy of venom since she and
the Doctor were going to take it away
in the TARDIS; there was less dialogue
between the travellers with Clara
suggesting that they should just see where
they ended up rather than heading for
Victorian London. This was where the
episode ended, with Thursday fainting
on seeing the TARDIS dematerialise.
The episode was now specified
as being set in 1892, but
this was later changed to
1893 in post-production; The
Snowmen [2012 - see Volume
72] had been set in late
December 1892. It opened
at dusk with Edmund’s
investigation.

other amendments added Clara’s sarcastic
dialogue about the Romany superstition;
had Clara rather than Edmund study the

later told Sky Tyne and Wear. The crew
then relocated to a basement corridor at
the offices of Barry Docks to record Abigail
giving Jenny a distraction to enter the
panelled corridor, and of Mrs Gillyflower
gliding down the spiral staircase. The BBC
team wrapped at 11pm.
The Sun ran further rain-soaked location
shots on Wednesday 4 July, the day on
which Metzstein’s team recorded in Studio
2. Effie and Edmund investigating the top
floor was recorded first, followed by the
Doctor rescuing Clara from the bell jar
in the cottage and then Vastra and Jenny
developing the photographs in their dark
room. Rob Mayor and Dominique Colbert
of Millennium FX supervised the Silurian
appliance worn by Neve McIntosh while
Amy Naish took over the supervision
of the lenses worn by Stirling who was
posing for a stills session. Recording ran
from 11am to 10pm, concluding with the
apprehension of the Doctor and Mrs Smith
in the cottage. During the shoot, it was
confirmed that Doctor Who, Matt Smith
and Karen Gillan had all been nominated
for the TV Choice Awards 2012.
Recording in Studio 2 was scheduled for
10am to 9pm on Thursday 5, opening with
Jenny investigating the shuttered room
and including Ada begging forgiveness
from her mother; “Rachie and I had great
difficulty in keeping a straight face in some
scenes,” Rigg told Radio Times recalling
her work with her daughter. The shoot
involved Matt Smith in full crimson
make-up which was applied by Rob Mayor
and Sarah Lockwood of Millennium FX,
while Ailsa Berk helped him develop his
bizarre, stiff movements. A rainy Friday

Llantrisant from 9am to 8pm with work
covered by a team from the prestigious
American magazine Entertainment Weekly
which wanted to undertake some major
coverage of the BBC America show.
Exterior scenes covered Thursday included
visiting Vastra’s house in Yorkshire (where
Brendan Patricks fell onto a crash mat
upon meeting the butler) and the Doctor
and Clara’s arrival in town, following
which Smith and Coleman chatted to
Entertainment Weekly. Work continued with
the departure of the TARDIS duo and
establishing shots of exhausted workers
leaving the factories. Dan Starkey was

the first-ever British TV
show to adorn the cover of
the US television magazine
Entertainment Weekly - due for
publication on Friday 27 July.
‘Time to go home, tweeted Steven
Moffat on Thursday 26 July, when
green script revisions to The Crimson
Horror meant some changes for the
confrontation in the parlour, deleting
Mrs Gillyflower’s dismissal of the Doctor
as a reject and altering the revelation
of how Ada’s blindness was the result
of experimentation. Sadly, the same
day it was announced actress Mary
Tamm - who had played the Doctor’s
companion Romana in the 1978/9 series
- had died in hospital in London aged
62, following a long battle with cancer.
The day found Saul Metzstein’s team
recording in the small gym of Tonyrefail
School, a traditional red brick Victorian
establishment. Material included the
Doctor and Mrs Smith passing Mrs
Gillyflower’s selection plus sequences in
Amos’ morgue and the Doctor’s laboratory
analysis of the crimson horror. Rigg
also posed for the photographs of Mrs
Gillyflower to form the image seen in the
eyes of the dead woman in the morgue,
and Brendan Patricks played both Edmund
and Jonas Thursday during the day,
with Andrew Cross doubling for him as
required in the same shot. The Millennium

awkward dialogue between
the revived Clara and both
Jenny and Vastra, along with
Vastra’s comments about the

the Doctor supervising the
revivification of the work
force was also omitted.
The behind-the-scenes crew was present
at Roath Lock to cover Catrin Stewart’s
stunt rehearsals with Crispin Layfield
while recording continued in the parlour
set for the confrontation between the
Doctor and Mrs Gillyflower in which
Crispin choreographed the action
moves while armourer Steve Wilkerson
supervised Rigg’s wielding of a firearm.
“Tt’s absolutely disgusting,” was Jenna-

Ada’s struggle with her mother was
completed on Saturday 28 July, after
which the dipping vat room scenes of
the rocket being revealed and the Doctor

ecording resumed in Studio 3 on
R Monday 30 with Jenny discovering
that the noisy shop floor of the mill
was in fact deserted. Various pick-up shots
on the staircase, including Mr Sweet’s
messy demise, concluded Rigg’s scenes.
The crew moved to the top floor corridor
in Studio 2 for Clara’s deduction about
the smokeless chimney. Work continued
in the corridor on Tuesday 31 with the
Doctor and Clara talking to Ada, after
which Smith again went for crimsoning by
Mayor and Colbert while Ada was recorded
ascending the spiral staircase and in the
shuttered room. The reddened Doctor was
then chained up, ready for rescue by Jenny
and his encounter with the dying Edmund
(after Brendan Patricks was crimsoned
by Sarah Lockwood). Work moved to the
revivification area in Studio 3 for Jenny
placing the Doctor in one of the chambers.
The day concluded Rachael Stirling’s
contribution to the episode.
The Doctor’s entry into the revivification
coffin was completed at the start of
Wednesday 1 August. Work then started on
the ‘Attack of the Supermodels’, supervised
by Crispin Layfield who hired stuntman
Dan Euston as the first pilgrim to be felled
by Jenny. Work on Thursday 2 August
began outdoors at the canal off Brigantine
Place in Cardiff near Roath Lock covering
the discovery of another corpse. Smith was
then released for a photoshoot while Dan
Starkey performed pick-ups of Strax in the
lift in Studio 3. The afternoon was spent
on the Doctor and Jenny discussing events
in the corridor through to Spm when
Smith was released to join Coleman for
the readthrough of the Christmas Special.
Friday 3 was spent recording The Making of
the Gunslinger (a mini-episode for the DVD
box set) and the following week Metzstein
and his team focused on recording The
Snowmen; that night, Smith was in London
at the launch of the movie Don’t Think.
Neve McIntosh Is Busted declared the Daily

continued, some of the remaining scenes
of The Crimson Horror were adjusted. Green
script changes on Monday 20 August
covered a minor change to the Pilgrim
confrontation while two short scenes
of the urchin watching Strax climb the
chimney were dropped. Work resumed
on The Crimson Horror on Wednesday 22
with recording in Studio 3 from 2.30pm

Thursday’s consultation

Strax proposing a frontal
assault on Sweetville at the house in
Yorkshire was recorded at Treowen during
work on the Christmas episode on Monday
27 August. The exterior shot of the chapel
where Mrs Gillyflower held her meeting
was recorded in Studio 4 during work on
Wednesday 29 August.
nsert shots of the Doctor being
I dipped were recorded in Studio 2
by a second unit helmed by Saul
Metzstein on Thursday 18 October. The
dialogue where Strax threatened his
horse with summary execution was added
to the street sequence in pink revisions
on Wednesday 24 October, along with
the urchin commenting that he liked
the Sontaran’s horse. Further shots of
the dipping victims were recorded on
Thursday 25 October from 11am to 10pm,
with Matt Humphries and Charlotte

who were working on Block Nine; stunt
arranger Dani Biernat supervised this
material before the team moved out on

the night-time shots of Strax meeting the
urchin and climbing the chimney.
By now it had been decided that The
Crimson Horror would be moved from
fourth to sixth in the spring 2013 run
of eight episodes and so conclude with
the Maitland children reappearing prior
DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
to their involvement in Neil Gaiman’s
Nightmare in Silver [2013 - see page 46],
which would be shown seventh. Also, the
episode was found to marginally underrun,
and since the characters of Vastra, Jenny
and Strax would be reappearing in the
finale, additional scenes featuring them
could be added. Consequently, pink
revisions to the script on Monday 12
November saw the addition of three
new sequences; Vastra, Jenny and Strax
heading for Yorkshire in the carriage
and formulating their plan, Vastra and
Strax studying the poster advertising
Mrs Gillyflower’s meeting and discussing
Jenny’s strategy, and the new coda of Clara
returning to the Maitlands’ home to be
confronted by Angie and Artie. This last
scene, to segue into Nightmare in Silver,
was based on a similar sequence from
early drafts of Journey to the Centre of the
TARDIS [2013 - see Volume 73], which was
originally to have taken this position in the
series’ run.
The bulk of Block Eleven Day 1 on
Friday 16 November saw Metzstein
working on the series finale, but work
began in Studio 4 at 8am with the new
scenes of Vastra and Strax discussing the
plan, then continued on location at the
Coal Exchange in Cardiff’s Mount Stuart
Square (recently used in The Snowmen)
for the Paternoster Row trio inside the
carriage heading north. The scenes back
at the Maitland House were then recorded
along with material for The Name of the
Doctor {2013 - see page 82] between 8am
and 7pm on Monday 26 November, with
Coleman rejoined by young actors Eve De
Leon Allen and Kassius Carey Johnson at
the Beatty Avenue location in Roath first
used for The Bells of Saint John [2013 - see

Post-pro
n post-production, the very short
opening scene of the episode
was cut; this was set at dusk in
Mrs Gillyflower’s parlour where
a woman - to be revealed as Mrs
Gillyflower - was bashing out a
hymn on a pipe organ amidst bric-a-brac
such as stuffed birds under bell jars. Over
the next scene establishing Sweetville, Effie
was to have been heard saying, “Please,
Edmund! By all that’s holy, do not leave
me in this fearful place!” Inside the top
floor corridor, Edmund then replied
darkly, “You know what I saw, Effie.”
After telling her to fetch the police after
34 QOCTORWHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
duction
an hour, he added, “God only knows what
has become of our friends.” “And the
’srims?” asked Effie, “What if they try to
prevent me?”
At the start of the morgue sequence,
Amos asked Jonas Thursday, “Are you
ready, flower?” The photographing of the
dead Edmund’s eye was originally to come
before the consultation with Madame
Vastra. At the start of the orchid house
scene, after Thursday thanked Jenny for his
lemonade, Vastra commented, “This city of
fogs and chill. It gets into one’s bones, does
it not? Sometimes, I long for escape. To
feel the sun on my hide once more. To bask
naked...” Thursday cleared his throat
and the veiled woman remarked, “I hope
I’m not making you uncomfortable.”
“I beg your pardon?” asked her client.
“The heat,” explained Vastra. “My doctors
recommend it. I’m afraid I’m rather
thin-skinned, am I not, Jenny?” After Jonas
explained that Edmund was a newspaper
man, he added that he had been “working
on a story about this Sweetville place”.
“Sweetville? They make matches,
don’t they?” asked Jenny. “Apparently,”
concurred Thursday, then continued, “an
ideal community for happy, prosperous
workers, though I suspect all is not quite
as it seems.” “Oh?” asked Vastra. When
Thursday fainted away at the sight of
Vastra, the lizard detective originally
tutted, “Apes.” The subsequent darkroom
scene opened with Jenny telling her
colleague, “I’ve made it bigger and bigger
but that don’t mean it’s very impressive.”
“Story of my life,” ruminated Vastra.
Amos’ morgue
ollowing the opening credits, the
start of the scene in the carriage
was cut. As the carriage rattled off,
Vastra asked, “How much longer must
we put up with skulking about in the
shadows!” “My experiments with portable
perception filters met with mixed success,
I’m afraid, ma’am,” replied Strax. “At Baker
Street station I took on the appearance
of Queen Victoria and almost caused a
diplomatic incident.” “I trust you dealt
with it delicately,” enquired the detective.
“Casualties were minimal,” shrugged the
Sontaran. Jenny sighed and asked, “So.
This place where our client’s brother
went undercover. What exactly is it?” “An
ideal community for happy, prosperous
workers,” explained Vastra. “Though the
fact that the Doctor’s involved suggests it
is nothing of the kind. If there is danger, he
will be at the heart of it. If there is devilry,
he will be leading the fight. We first locate
the Doctor, and proceed from there.”
“How, though?” asked Jenny as Vastra
related her research on the community
and added of the proprietor, “Should you
attend, my dear, I feel certain you will
catch her eye.”

DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
of Thursday visiting Vastra
at the house in Yorkshire
originally came after Jenny
gazing at the strange speakers
on the empty mill floor.
The start of the scene
where the veiled Vastra
visited Amos’ morgue was
deleted. Originally this
opened with the attendant
telling his visitor, “You’re in
luck, flower. Most of them
are six foot under now.” “I
beg your pardon?” asked the
detective. “For I am in the
cold earth laid, in the tomb
of blood I’ve made’,” replied
Amos, quoting the poem No
More written as the suicide note of English
writer and translator of erotic literature
Edward Sellon in April 1866. “Under the
2, i Bn Ve, %
ground, love.” “I see,” said the Silurian.
“Or in the furnace. But I’ve kept, you know,
a few bits and bobs for me collection,”
admitted the attendant. “Collection?”
asked Vastra as Amos lit the gas to reveal
the specimen jars.
The scenes of Ada finding her ‘monster’
gone from his room originally came
after the Doctor indicating to Jenny
that he needed to get inside one of the
revivification chambers. In the Doctor’s
recollection to Jenny, when the Doctor
asked Edmund why Mrs Gillyflower
should open up a match factory in her
old home town, the journalist originally
replied, “And there’s something very odd
about that place.” At the morgue, when
the Doctor considered the term “Crimson
Horror,” he decided that it was “cool!”
When the Doctor asked Clara if she knew
about the Romany superstition - which
he then proceeded to explain anyway -
she originally replied with sarcasm, “No.
Why don’t you tell me about it?” “If you
insist...” replied the Doctor, with delight.
“I’ve heard of such a thing. Tommyrot, of
course,” declared Edmund. “Tommyrot?
Tommy-rot? Not,” retorted the Time Lord.
“Not?” asked the journalist. “Not tommy-
rot,” insisted the Doctor as he discussed
the corruption of the body’s chemical
composition. “What is this stuff?” he
ruminated, as he examined the glowing,
red corpse. During the tour of Sweetville,
Clara had enquired, “May I ask a question,
Mrs Gillyflower?” before she queried
why Mrs Gillyflower had not named her
community after herself.
Thomas Thomas
t the end of the scene where Thomas
Thomas gave directions to Strax,
the urchin said, “I like your horse,
mister.” “I’ll save you some,” replied the
Sontaran. The Doctor’s discovery of Clara
inside the bell jar originally came after the
confrontation between Mrs Gillyflower
and Ada in the empty shuttered room.
After the encounter with the pilgrims,
Strax’s departing comment that he would
go and play with his grenades was added
in dubbing. When the Doctor’s party
reached the base of the chimney, Vastra
asked, “The chimney?” “The chimney!”
agreed the Doctor as he confirmed the
poisoned air plan.
After Ada speculated if her father had
seen blackness in her heart, she originally
added, “Perhaps that is why, in his
drunken rage, he marked me! Like Cain! As
ye sow, so must ye reap”; here she referred
to the first man to commit murder by
slaying his brother in the book of Genesis
who was then marked by God, and also
the Apostle Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians,
chapter 6, verse 7. Later when the Doctor
told Ada that he needed her to tell him
Welcome to
: aA ; e Amos’ morgue.
something, she originally replied, “I will
help if I can.”
After Mrs Gillyflower told the Doctor
that Mr Sweet gave her his ‘nectar’, she
originally added, “It has taken some
time to harvest but now I have enough
for my purpose.” Revealing that Ada had
been experimented on by her mother,
the Doctor explained, “I had a long time
to study Ada’s face, Clara. While she was
caring for me... chemical burns.”
When Mrs Gillyflower dragged Ada
into the dipping vat room at gunpoint,
she originally explained, “Mr Sweet and
I still have an ace in our hand!” and told
the pilgrims, “You have served me well.
Now, all of you, take your places. Prepare
for the apocalypse!” In the closing scene,
after Angie described the Doctor as Clara’s
boyfriend, Artie originally added, “We see
you sometimes, sneaking away with him.”
A caption establishing the setting of
‘Yorkshire 1893’ was added to the opening
scenes, and the Doctor’s recollection of
events leading up to his incarceration
was presented in the manner of an early,
flickering film.

“Mrs Gillyflower
Ithough born 20 July 1938 in

Errors (1962-4; televised 1 January 1964).
Leaving the RSC, playing opposite Harry
H Corbett in Armchair Theatre entry The Hot
House (aired 13 December 1964) garnered
a TV Times cover and huge ratings. The
following Monday she was announced as
John Steed’s new karate-kicking partner Mrs
Emma Peel in action series The Avengers.
Shown in the UK from October 1965, and
later on American networks, The Avengers
made her a worldwide TV star. Nominated

Introduction
he first story that the
renowned writer Neil Gaiman
delivered for Doctor Who was
groundbreaking. In The Doctor’s
Wife [2011 - see Volume 67],
almost 48 years after the
programme began, we finally got to find
out what made the TARDIS tick. The
Doctor’s time machine became a woman
and he got the chance to have a proper
chat with her.
By comparison, Nightmare in Silver might
not appear to be as momentous. You could
argue, however, that it provided the final
word on the Cybermen. Centuries in the
future, we got a glimpse of what might
ultimately become of the Cyber race.
They had changed into something quite
different from how they were originally
conceived. Like Star Trek’s own version of
technologically augmented people - the
Borg - these Cybermen had a ‘hive mind’,
sharing their experiences, and they could
use this knowledge to adapt and become
invincible to their enemies.
Somewhere along the way, this process
reversed the most basic premise on which
the Cybermen were built - that they
have no emotions. The Cyber-Planner
evidently took great delight at the prospect
of assimilating the Doctor. Perhaps
overcoming this shortcoming is what
allowed the Cybermen to do so well. The
great irony of the Cybermen is that while
they eliminated the perceived weakness
of having feelings, their story has always
been one of a struggle for survival. But
in this far-flung future they have been
thriving. One of the characters explained
how an entire galaxy - and “a billion
© DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
trillion people” - had to be destroyed to
stop the Cybermen.
It’s informative to note that this
apocalypse - where someone had to “press
the button” to make it happen - is a lot like
the Doctor’s experience on the last day of
the Time War - which was dramatised later
that year in The Day of the Doctor [2013
- see Volume 75]. We were being asked
to accept that the Cybermen presented
a threat almost equal to that posed by
the Daleks. And if the Cyber-Planner
could have assimilated the Doctor’s
understanding of time travel then they
might have rivalled the Daleks.
The Cybermen may always have been
best when they’ve been a deadly force, but
there are other ways they have made their
mark. Rather than trying to outgun the
Daleks, the Cybermen are at their scariest
when they don’t seem that far removed
from ourselves. When, rather than being
impossibly advanced, they are a scary
prospect of our own tomorrow. ™@

lara has persuaded the Doctor to
take the two children she looks
after, Artie and Angie, on a trip
in the TARDIS. He takes them to
Hedgewick’s World, a vast amusement
park, landing in an area that resembles
the Moon’s surface. [1] A man called
Webley emerges from a rock, then he
hides as a platoon of soldiers runs in.
The Doctor uses his psychic paper
to make the Captain believe he is a
proconsul and they leave.
Webley takes the Doctor and his
companions to his World of Wonders,
a waxworks museum, where he has set up
the shell of a Cyberman at a chessboard.
[2] Artie moves a piece - and the
Cyberman moves one. It turns out the
Cyberman is being operated by a man
called Porridge. The Doctor is intrigued
by some small metal insects scurrying
across the floor.
DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
Webley shows his guests an exhibit
of Emperor Kendrick, then Artie
and Angie settle down to sleep in the
museum. Alone with the chess-playing
Cyberman, Webley is surprised when it
grabs him and metal insects swarm out
of its eyes. [3]
Porridge shows the Doctor and Clara
around the park. He explains that the
planet was trashed in the Cyber wars and
shows Clara the blank space in the sky
where the Tiberion spiral galaxy used
to be. [4]
Angie is bored and wanders into the
barracks where the soldiers are based.
In the museum, Artie is grabbed by
a Cyberman.
The Doctor and Clara enter the
barracks - and then a Cyberman bursts
in. It moves in a blur and snatches Angie.
[5] The Doctor puts Clara in charge of
the soldiers while he goes to find Artie.
The Cyberman takes Angie to the
museum. She sees Artie and Webley, who
has been partially Cyber-converted.
Clara tells the soldiers to move to the
theme park castle as it will be easier to
defend. Porridge goes with them.
The Doctor enters the museum,
finding one of the insects - a Cybermite.
He then sees Artie and Angie, both in
a trance. Webley hails the Doctor as the
“saviour of the Cybermen”! [6]
As they reach the castle, the Captain
tells Clara that if the Empire was alerted
to the presence of Cybermen, she would
be ordered to blow up the planet. [7]
Webley explains that the Cyber-
Planners built a ‘Valkyrie’ to save
critically damaged Cybermen. They have
been using people from the amusement
park as spare parts. Now they intend to
use the Doctor’s brain to build a new
Cyber-Planner. The Cybermites begin to
convert him. The Doctor proposes they
play chess for control of his brain. [8]
The Captain knows that Porridge is,
in fact, the absconded Emperor. She
attempts to activate a bomb to implode
the planet, but is shot by a Cyberman
outside the castle. As it tries to enter,
Clara blasts it with an anti-Cyber gun. [9] ‘
The Doctor arrives at the castle, with
Artie, Angie and Webley under his
control, and resumes his chess game in :
the throne room.
An army of Cybermen emerges from
tombs hidden on the planet. [10]
The Doctor releases Artie and Angie
from the Cyber-Planner’s control. Then
he claims that he can win the chess
game in three moves. The Cyber-Planner
demands to know how, and devotes the
brains of all the Cybermen to solving
the problem. [11] Porridge then activates
the bomb - which means that he will be
located by the Imperial Flagship.
The Doctor, Clara, Artie, Angie and
Porridge are teleported to the Imperial
Flagship and the planet explodes.
Porridge proposes to Clara but she turns
him down.
The Doctor returns Artie, Angie and
Clara to Earth - and Porridge sets off
for home. [12]

asked lead writer Steven Moffat
in an email to acclaimed fantasy
novelist Neil Gaiman in September 2011.
A few months earlier, BBC One and BBC
America had aired The Doctor’s Wife [2011 -

indicated to Moffat that he would not
have time to devise a second storyline
for the show - but the hook that he
could write for the Cybermen which had
first appeared in Doctor Who in the 1966
adventure The Tenth Planet [1966 - see
Volume 8] snared his imagination. “I was
terrified as a kid by Cybermen. They scared
me in a way that the Daleks hadn't,” he
told the BBC website.
Although he loved Doctor Who, Gaiman
was originally reticent to embark on

used by the Cybermen in various stories
since The Tomb of the Cybermen [1967 - see
Volume 10]. Noting that the design of
these was originally based on silverfish,
the writer came up with the idea of
Cybermites which would be even smaller
and effectively help transform their victims
into Cybermen. Gaiman also wanted to
reintroduce the idea of a Cyber-Planner, a
device first glimpsed in The Wheel in Space
[1968 - see Volume 12] and seen again in
The Invasion {1968 - see Volume 13] which
devised the strategy for the Cybermen.
Gaiman also emailed Steven Moffat to
say that it was odd that the series had
never featured good and evil aspects of the
Doctor arguing with each other inside the
Doctor’s head. He believed that an effective
way to demonstrate this was via a chess
match, and was further inspired by the
story of the Turk, an automaton created
in the eighteenth century which could
se DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
ay
supposedly beat any opponent at chess -
but was actually a hoax, being operated
by a hidden chess master. Wanting
to incorporate a chess element to
demonstrate strategy, Gaiman opted to
build part of his story around the Doctor
playing a Cyber-Planner at this game,
having established that this theme was
not planned for any other stories - the
Doctor’s last chess match having been
in The Wedding of River Song [2011 - see
Volume 70].
Another influence on Neil Gaiman’s
story was the concept of ‘Bukimi no Tani
Gensho’ (translated in 1978 as ‘uncanny
valley’) postulated in 1970 by robotics
professor Masahiro Mori; this was an idea
about the manner in which the degree of
an object’s resemblance to a human being
affected the emotional response to it, and
that robots which looked too much like
humans would effect a sense of unease.

emailed Moffat asking, “Could I have half
of his brain taken over and have him be

Moffat urged him, “Go for it!”
Gaiman’s writing really got underway
in earnest in May. He found the writing
process far simpler than the multiple drafts
he had undertaken for The Doctor’s Wife. In
particular, he delighted in writing again for
the Doctor and using many of his favourite
phrases such as “I'll explain later” - heard
in stories such as Time-Flight [1982 - see

the relationship played out by Matt Smith
and Jenna-Louise Coleman as the Doctor
and Clara blossomed over the summer,
Moffat urged Gaiman to make some of the
dialogue between the Cyber-controlled
Doctor and Clara even more flirty. He also
liked the idea of the Cyberdoctor adopting
previous personas of the Doctor, urging
the use of catchphrases such as “fantastic!”
and “allons-y!”

responded with feedback by

D the BBC referred to it, although
Gaiman’s third draft - was dated
Tuesday 11 September 2012 and opened
in a graveyard at night where Clara was
waiting for the Doctor and the TARDIS
with Angie and her brother Godfrey; Clara
explained to the Doctor that she thought
an adventure would be good for the
children, suggesting something educational
at Pompeii or with Shakespeare or Queen
Elizabeth, while Godfrey wanted to go to
the Moon or meet crusaders or Aztecs;
all these were specifically chosen to relate
to previous stories such as The Fires of
Pompeii [2008 - see Volume 57], The
Shakespeare Code [2007 - see Volume 54],
The Moonbase {1967 - see Volume 9], The
Crusade [1965 - see Volume 5] and The
Aztecs [1964 - see Volume 2]. “No kids in
the TARDIS,” insisted the Doctor, claiming
that this was “rule number one”. Clara
took the Doctor inside the TARDIS and
insisted that compared to his age of “nine
hundred and somethety-something” all his
companions were children; eventually the
Doctor was persuaded to give the children
one “nice day out”. Inviting the children
in, the Doctor produced a pirate treasure
chest with hats for everyone and explained
that they were going to Lampwick’s World
(presumably named after the character
who wanted to go to the cursed Pleasure
Island where boys turned into donkeys
in the 1940 Disney animation Pinocchio)
with a golden ticket for four. While
Godfrey perceptively commented that
the TARDIS was bigger inside than out,
Angie thought it was “a bit rubbish”. On
arriving in the wrecked amusement park,
the group first encountered the Captain
and her platoon of athletic women who
invited them to the platoon dance that
evening. When Angie tried to take a

confiscated it, saying that
nothing more hi-tech than a
screwdriver was allowed. Mr
Webley then emerged from
hiding and took them to see
his chess-playing Cyberman {
which he called “Marvello”. '
There was a montage of
the Doctor’s party enjoying
the Space Zoomer and then
a seaside roller coaster -
during which Angie took her
phone back from the Doctor.
Godfrey said his prayers
before going to sleep in the
waxworks, while Angie was more vitriolic
towards Clara (“Mum’s dead. The hag’s
just somebody Dad pays to make sure we
have someone around”) and wanted to
go to the party with the adults. Alone in
the Cyberman sanctum, the empty Cyber
suit forced itself onto Webley, while in the
barracks the troopers had formed a marine
marching band. Having taken Angie from
the barracks, the Cyberman took her to the
chess room where there was a large silver
capsule on the floor; Cybermites came
from the wall and covered Angie until she
too was encased in a similar capsule, and
the Cyberman then used a laser light from
its head on the chessboard to activate the
transmat. The Captain explained to Clara
that Natty Longshoe was a character from
children’s stories and Natty Longshoe’s
Island was named after her. Porridge was
able to help them get over to the island
in small boats, having had nothing to do
but explore for two years. Transmatted by
Cyber-Webley, the Doctor found himself
in what he recognised was a tomb for
broken Cybermen; they had been repaired
by abducting one visitor in a hundred
million. Porridge showed the troopers how
to electrify the fence around the island
where Missy was left on guard. This draft

Psycho, a speaking role at
this point, set out to use a pulsar ona
lone Cyberman striding through the town
on the island; when she died, this was
sensed by her clone sister, Brains. Beauty
was then bettered on another street and
both she and Psycho started to transform
into Cybermen. With one of his moves to
take a chess piece, the Doctor forced the
Cyberdoctor to restore Angie and Godfrey
from the capsules before Cyber-Webley
attacked the Doctor. After Porridge - the
Emperor - dismissed the Doctor’s party,
the group found the TARDIS in a corridor
aboard the spaceship. The Doctor told
Angie that a lot could happen to her,
and she could come back when she had
finished college to become Queen of the
Universe. At that moment, there was the
noise of a TARDIS and an adult Angie
walked down the corridor in a wedding
dress; the adult winked at her younger self
who was quickly pulled into the police box
by the Doctor. There was also a final scene
in the Cyberiad: ‘a huge dark room filled
with standing Cybermen. Most of them
look like the modern Cybermen we’ve
just been dealing with. But there are older
designs in the space too... one Cyberman

do it of his own free will.”
In Draft 2 - dated Friday 14 September
- Godfrey had become Artie, the Doctor
no longer confiscated Angie’s phone,
“Marvello” was now “the amazing Marvel”
and the roller coaster had been omitted.
The Captain was now named Alice Ferrin
as she primed the bomb, and after her
death Porridge picked up the device and
commented, “I remember you. Your name
made me laugh. Alice Ferrin Loveandwar...”
After the arrival of the adult Angie, the
next scene had the Doctor dropping his
fellow travellers off back in the graveyard.
In the Cyberiad closing scene, the Oldest
Cyberman now commented, “Kill the Last

within him.”
In Draft 3 - dated Friday 5 October -

the arrival of the platoon, the Cyberman
chess player no longer had a name, Angie

Beach and Trinity. He had also enjoyed
watching the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor
Who while growing up and had very
much admired the show since its return
in 2005.
During pre-production, Gaiman took
part in discussions over the redesign of
the Cybermen with the Cardiff production
team and pushed very much for something
slimmer and sleeker, more akin to the
Cybermen seen in The Moonbase with their
very impassive blank faces.
‘Tm really a bit nervous: the table

Neil Gaiman in his online journal on
Thursday 25 October. Attending the
London Comic Con on Friday 26, both
Matt Smith and executive producer
Caroline Skinner enthused about Gaiman’s
forthcoming script; “It’s got some old
classics in it,” hinted Skinner while Smith
added that Gaiman was “going to do
something brilliantly reinventive”.

Psycho became a non-speaking role, and
Missy was no longer seen in the guard hut
by the gates.
Halloween readthrough
t 7pm on Wednesday 31 October,
Smith and Coleman joined the
Halloween readthrough of The Last
Cyberman in the conference room at the
BBC’s Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff.
Smith was delighted with the script,
telling the BBC website, “It’s always great
to have the old foes come back, but to
have them reinvented and evolved just
ever so slightly... and Cybermen who
aren't as slow as they used to be, I think
that makes them all the more terrifying.”
Having recorded The Bells of Saint John a
few weeks earlier, Eve De Leon Allen and
Kassius Carey Johnson were back as the
Maitland children, Angie and Artie. Jason
Watkins - whose television work included
Conviction, Funland, Five Days, Being Human
and Dirk Gently - was cast as Webley.
Playing Porridge was Warwick Davis who
had appeared in the Star Wars film Return
of the Jedi, starred in the movie Willow and
also featured in the Harry Potter films, as
well as appearing in the television series
of The Chronicles of Narnia and starring in
his own comedy Life’s Too Short. “Not only
was I going to be in Doctor Who - which
had been an ambition for years and years
- but to be in an episode by Gaiman and
an episode that involved Cybermen - it
was the jackpot. It’s incredible,” Davis told
the BBC website, “I’m more excited to be
doing it than my kids are.”
The Captain was played by Tamzin
Outhwaite who had found fame as Melanie
Owen in EastEnders from 1998 to 2002,
since when she had starred in series such
as Red Cap, Vital Signs, Hotel Babylon, The
Fixer and Paradox. Of the troopers, Eloise
Joseph - playing Beauty - had been in Mad
Dogs and Skins, with Will Merrick playing
Brains. Calvin Dean - cast as Ha-Ha -
had featured in the story The Gift (2009)
in The Sarah Jane Adventures, and Zahra
Ahmadi - playing Missy - had appeared
in EastEnders and Bellamy’s People. The

Doctor’s head as the Doctor and Cyber-

previously used in May 2008
for The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End [2008

The Vampires of Venice [2010 - see Volume

of Natty Longshoe’s Comical Castle - or
Nattie’s Castle as the call sheets referred to
it - and would see the first use of the new
Cybermen costumes crafted by Millennium
FX. These lighter outfits allowed the
actors to move much more quickly and
smoothly than the previous suits, and
so from 11am a special set of movement
rehearsals were conducted by the series’
regular choreographer Ailsa Berk. On call
sheets and other paperwork, the Cybermen
were referred to simply as the ‘Enemy’ -
hence Millennium FX also provided the

A behind-the-scenes team was present to
chat to Ailsa and observe the Cyber-action
during the shoot from noon to 11pm.
Scenes of Clara directing the platoon in
the castle and on the gantry were recorded,
along with the demise of the Captain;
although Jenna-Louise Coleman was in the
thick of the action, Matt Smith was not
required for the day.
ecording was scheduled at Castell
R- from 11.30am to 10.30pm
on Thursday 8 and included stunt
work for the main courtyard battle,
overseen by stunt arranger Crispin Layfield
with stuntman Ryan Stuart playing the
principal action Cyberman. The Doctor’s
arrival at the castle was recorded, along
with Clara’s comments to the platoon that
she trusted the Doctor. The Millennium
FX team was again present, this time to
also handle the Cyber-prosthetics worn
by some of the cast; Ant Parker and Rob
Mayor transformed Matt Smith into
the ‘Enemy Doctor’ while Davy Jones
supervised ‘Enemy Webley’ and Fiona
Walsh worked on ‘Enemy Angie’ and
‘Enemy Artie’.
Further pink revisions to the script on
Friday 9 covered Porridge’s comment that
it was good to be “a person” and added
the Doctor’s unwanted advice on his
proposal to Clara. Recording at Castell
Coch was planned for 11.30am to 10.30pm
and commenced with the scene in which
Beauty was confronted by a Cyberman
with a rotating head; for this, Aidan Cook

Also recorded was Porridge taking the
bomb from the dead Captain, battle inserts
including the explosion of a Cyberman’s
head, Porridge serving up some soup,
Clara signing for the trigger unit, and the
electric cable being dropped into the moat.
Once again, Matt Smith was not required
for recording. Meanwhile, on this day,
news of the missing script had reached
Neil Gaiman who tweeted Hannah to tell
her, ‘You’re a good person & I’m thrilled

was spent on the bullet-time sequence of
the Cyberman kidnapping Angie which

room; Gordon Seed again supervised, in
conjunction with special effects supervisor
Mark Spatney who was interviewed by
a behind-the-scenes crew.
The final set of blue page script revisions
came on Wednesday 14 November and
reallocated some of Beauty’s dialogue to
Ha-Ha and Brains during the drawbridge
scene; this was because of a schedule
change which meant that Eloise Joseph
would no longer be available. Recording
for the day moved to Caerphilly Castle,
a regular venue for the BBC team since
The End of Time in April 2009, and most
recently featured in The Power of Three
[2012 - see Volume 71] in May. The HQ
at Natty’s Castle was located in the Great
Hall and saw some of the key chess scenes
played out between the Doctor and the
Cyberdoctor from 9am to 8pm; these
were supervised by Sarah Kett who - with
her husband Tim - ran chess clubs in
various Cardiff schools and was the former
development director of the Welsh Chess
Union. Gavin Collinson of BBC Interactive
was also on set. That evening, Steven
Moffat was handed the Writers’ Guild
Special Award for Outstanding Writing at
a ceremony in London. Further recording
on the HQ scenes ran from 9.30am to
8.30am the next day, running through
to the activation of the bomb. From
9.30am, series producer Marcus Wilson
helmed a second unit which recorded the
rescheduled gatehouse scene of Clara’s
group watching the Cybermen, plus the
Cybermen entering the moat, after which
the unit was handed to Farren Blackburn
to record The Rings of Akhaten inserts back
at Roath Lock.
Webley’s World
n Friday 16 November, Day 10 of
Block Ten ran in tandem with Day
1 of Block Eleven. This found the
BBC working from 8.30am to 7pm at
the familiar venue of MOD St Athan at
Barry where the Picketston site offered
a suitably large space for the greenscreen
sequences that would form the interior
of the Doctor’s mind. Only Smith,
Coleman and Davis were required, with
Ian William George doubling as either the
Doctor or Cyberdoctor for the dialogue
interplay in the Doctor’s mind. Some
inserts of the Doctor at the chessboard
in the castle HQ were recorded, along
with the Doctor, Clara and Porridge
talking at the rocket launch pad, again
achieved using greenscreen to later insert
a different background.
By now, the thoughtful acts of Hannah
Durham had been picked up as a news
story, and on Sunday 18 November The
Sun ran the story Doctor’s lost script is saved
to celebrate how the student had resisted
temptation. Next day, both Doctor Who
units were at work at Roath Lock. Smith
and Coleman continued to
work on Nightmare in Silver

from 8.30am to 7.30pm.
The moonscape shots were

aliens recently used in The Rings of Akhaten
including an Ultramancer and a Lugal-
Irra-Kush. Work on these scenes and those
in the chess room continued from 8am to
7pm on Tuesday 20 November.
T= Cyber Bunker sequences - which
were in part inspired by designs
from The Tomb of the Cybermen - were
recorded in Studio 3 from 8am to 8pm
on Wednesday 21 with Matt Smith (who
was visited by his parents) while Jenna-
Louise Coleman worked on the finale.
A third ‘triple bank’ unit under director
Jamie Stone was also at work from 9am,

elements of marching Cybermen outside
Roath Lock, the effect of the Cyberman’s
head rotating, plus inserts of various
chess moves. It had been planned that
the premises of Mir Steel in Newport
- last seen in The Wedding of River Song
[2011 - see Volume 70] recorded in April
2011 - would be used for sequences set in
the service area and castle from Spm to
1.30am. The focus was the battle between
Clara and the troopers with the Cybermen.
However, by the afternoon it was clear that
severe storms would make recording too
hazardous and the shoot was abandoned;
it had been planned that Coleman would
join Woolfenden’s crew after finishing work
on Block Eleven at 7pm. With Smith and
Coleman committed to work on The Name
of the Doctor [2013 - see page 82] on Friday
23 November, recording from 8am to 7pm
at Roath Lock concentrated on pick-up
shots in Studio 2 with hand doubles used
on the waxworks set, and some shots of the
Cybermen emerging from hibernation in
their bunker.
The abandoned night shoot was quickly
rescheduled to be handled by the double
bank unit from Monday 26 November.
Work at 8am began with John Hayes, after
which Woolfenden took over as the team
relocated to Uskmouth Power Station
in Newport; this had first been used in
November 2005 for The Age of Steel and
had most recently featured in The Doctor,
the Widow and the Wardrobe [2011 - see
Volume 70] in September 2011. Following
a scene for The Name of the Doctor, various
scenes of Clara, Missy and Ha-Ha taking
on the Cybermen in the service area were
recorded by 7pm. Woolfenden also helmed
the double bank unit on Thursday 29
November, recording further inserts for
the service area scenes outside Studio 2
through to 7pm. Other pick-ups - including
the headless Cyberman’s encounter with
Psycho - were recorded by the unit outside
Studio 2 along with plate shots for the
Cybermites on the waxworks set in Studio
4. The second unit then completed the
outstanding inserts in the chess room and
waxwork sets in Studio 2 from 8am to 7pm

Exciting, tweeted Stephen
Woolfenden on Monday 3
December. A final edit of The
Last Cyberman was ready by Christmas, and
it-was this title which Neil Gaiman revealed
ig an interview at TheMusic.com.au on
Thursday 24 January 2013, commentin
t’s about identity, it’s about responsibi
d it’s about Porridge.” However, when in
London performing interviews to promote
the BBC radio adaptation of Neverwhere on

title might change and that he was meeting
Steven Moffat that evening: “I’m gonna
pitch a couple of alternate [sic] titles...
The Saviour of the Cybermen is one of them
I kinda like. It’s kind of hokey in a nice way
and when you find out who it’s referring
to, it’s fun.”
During editing, several cuts were made
to the episode. As the travellers gazed
* moonscape from the TARDIS,
ie Doctor explained that they were
at Hedgewick’s World and went on t
say “A quarter of a million years from
now.” After the Captain had placed her
platoon at the service of the ‘Proconsul’,
NNN ost roduction
the Doctor - adopting the tone of the
Duke of Edinburgh on a royal walkabout
- commented, “Oh good. So you’re um
doing, um, army things, then?” “Yes. We’re
on manoeuvres,” explained the officer.
After the ‘Proconsul’ told the soldiers to
carry on, the Captain began a chant: “What
are we?” “Human!” chorused the troops.
“What do we do?” asked the officer. “Live
for the Empire! Fight for the Empire! Die
for the Empire!” chanted her platoon.
Angie was busy taking photographs of
some of the hunkier troops on her phone,
and Clara instructed her young charge,
“Down girl.” When Mr Webley re-emerged
from his bolt hole, Artie asked him,
“Excuse me. Why are you hiding from those
soldiers?” Explaining his fear of uniforms,
the impresario added, “Come over here.”
He pulled open a huge door to reveal the
landscape with the sign ‘Happiness is
Hedgewick’s World’. “I’m scared and I’m
excited,” exclaimed Artie, “Both at once.
Scarecited. Angie, are you excited or are
you scared?” The TARDIS travellers’ first
view of Hedgewick’s World was changed in
ADR (additional dialogue recording).
Upon entering Webley’s ;

the Doctor commented,
“Hedgewick’s World was the
galaxy’s biggest amusement
park. What happened?”
“Closed down for good
over a year ago,” explained
Webley. “Reports of people
just vanishing from the rides.
They’ve just made it an army
training camp. Wish the
news had reached me, before
I landed here...” Examining
the chess table, the Doctor originally
ruminated about mirrors, “At 45
degrees.” As Porridge was revealed, the
impresario acquiesced, “Never let it be
said that Nehemiah Webley backs out
on his debts.” Porridge’s offer to operate
the gravity console originally came at the
end of this scene, but was inserted into
the next.
F lying around on the moonscape, Artie cee:
said it was the most fun he’d ever The Oeetor's
had, “except for Joshua Feinstein’s gota
eighth birthday party.” After telling Clara ye
that outer space was very interesting,
he then yawned, “but can we go home
now? And have it be bedtime when we get
there?” “He’s right,” agreed Clara as she
thanked the Doctor for the wonderful
day out.
After the Doctor put the children to
bed in the waxworks, there was a short
scene of the Doctor, Clara and Porridge
walking out into an old hangar. “Where’s
Webley?” asked the Doctor. “He'll be back
in the chess room,” replied Porridge, “Likes
to tipple on his own in the evening. But
he’s been good to me. Picked me up at

“No. Answers,” clarified the
Doctor. “Trouble’s a bonus.”
The scene of Webley being
grabbed by his chess player
was originally placed after
Angie wandered off. This
scene with the children
originally ran longer and
had Angie putting on some
lipstick, inexpertly. When
Artie asked his sister not to
leave him, Angie replied, “So
come if you want. I don’t
care.” Picking up her mobile,
she suddenly asked, “What
did you do to my phone?”
“Nothing,” said her brother,
looking as Angie held up the
phone’s empty plastic cover.

slammed the door behind
her. “But I’m all alone!” called Artie.
At the launch pad, when Porridge told
Clara about the Cybermen, he originally
added that they were “so fast and so smart
and so strong that fighting them was
suicidal. That’s what the history books
say.’ As Clara and the Doctor hurried off
into the barracks after Angie, Porridge
called, “Better not. Hey, no telling the
army about me. Don’t want to give away
the secret of the chess-playing machine.”
When Angie entered the barracks and
commented about Porridge, the Captain
originally asked her, “Would you like some
orange juice?” As Clara appeared in the
barracks and Angie stormed about her
always turning up, she originally added,
“T HATE her!” After the Cyberman’s
abduction of Angie, the Captain explained
ma DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
eS
of her punishment platoon, “Psycho gets
drunk and breaks things. Ha-ha weirds
people out.” “And why were you sent
here?” asked the Doctor before he pinned
the badge on Clara. When the Captain
assured Clara that her platoon could deal
with one Cyberman, she originally added,
“We were taken by surprise.” After his
arrival in the barracks and hearing that the
soldiers saw a Cyberman, Porridge added,
“Webley sometimes puts on the chess-shell
when he’s drunk.”
During the first sequence inside the
Doctor’s head, the dialogue where the
Cyberdoctor told the Doctor to relax
and declared itself as “Mr Clever” was
originally part of the previous scene in the
Cyber Bunker. Originally after the Doctor
asked how many Cybermen there were,
he studied the Cybersignals while the
Cyberdoctor replied, “So you’ve blocked
me out. I'll wait until you go to sleep, take
over the rest of your head.”
The scene of Missy encountering a
Cyberman in the service area originally
opened with Missy on her radio
asking,” Hullo. Anything interesting
happening? It’s boring here.” “Missy.
Please stop calling in to say that,” replied
the voice of Brains; this was changed
in ADR. During the chess match in the
Cyber Bunker, the Cyberdoctor originally
observed, “If you are what you are and
you've done what you've done in your
memories, why have we no record of
you anywhere in the databanks of the
Cyberiad...?” The dialogue with the Doctor
discussing the Cybermen’s weaknesses
originally came after the death of the
Captain. Later on during the dialogue
at the castle HQ, the Cyberdoctor
commented on the Doctor’s 10 complete
rejigs, “Brain’s all over the place.” When
Clara commented that she knew she wasn’t
talking to the Doctor, the Cyberdoctor
commented, “Easy mistake to make.”
s the Cybermen army awoke, there
A: a short scene back at the chess
game in the castle as dawn broke.
“The pity of it is, the Cyberiad will win,”
stated the Cyberdoctor, “Your kind are
inevitably doomed. Your emotions cripple
you.” “Emotions are what make life
liveable,” claimed the Doctor. “Nonsense,”
countered the Cyberdoctor, “I’ll show you.
If you sacrifice your queen, I’ll give you
back the children.” “You say that knowing
that if I sacrifice my queen I'll lose the
game,” observed the Time Lord. “You'll
lose the game anyway, Doctor,” insisted his
opponent, as he took another piece. “We
both know that. But this way you could
give the children a chance.”
After the Cyberdoctor cried out,
“They’re he-ere...” Clara originally asked,

“Who's here?” Later on when discussing
their fate, after Porridge said they would
all die and Brains asked what they should
; ; Left:

the Empire. Fight for the Empire. Die for of the
the Empire.” After the Doctor asked for oe
platoon,
the TARDIS to be transmatted up, the
Emperor told the guard, “What he said.”
Waking up, Artie said, “Hello Clara. Oh,
this is better than the Spacey Zoomer.”
In the final scene, after Artie thanked the
Doctor for having him visit, he originally
added that not only was it interesting, but
“a bit scareciting”. After the Doctor handed
Angie her new phone, she said, “I’ve been
thinking. If I’m going to be queen of the
universe one day, I’m going to have to
start doing my homework. Aren't I?”
“T don’t know. Are you?” asked the Doctor.
“Obviously,” replied the girl, “Otherwise
they'll start calling me Queen Thicko,
when they dig up the archaeological
records.” “Good point. Lots of school
reports in archaeological records. It’s what
they care about most,” noted the Doctor.

not survive his teens and might need to
use a wheelchair. Contrary to medical
expectations, young Warwick was
extremely energetic, and his mother sent
him to drama classes at the local Laine
Theatre Arts to channel this energy.
After his grandmother Edith heard
a radio advert looking for actors under
four-feet tall, at 11 years old and 2’11”
he auditioned for a role in the third Star
Wars film Return of the Jedi (1983). After
R2-D2 actor Kenny Baker dropped out
of the part of Wicket, a bear-like Ewok,
due to illness, Davis ended up taking this
important role. He also took the starring
role in an uncompleted behind the scenes
promotional film Return of the Ewok. He
reprised Wicket in Lucasfilm TV movies
Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure
(1984) and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor
(1985), films released theatrically
in Britain.
Despite these initial successes, Davis
saw himself as a budding director, and
0 DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
even won third prize in Screen Test’s Young
Filmmakers Competition with short film
Video Nasty.
Davis next won two goblin roles in
Jim Henson’s Lucasfilm fantasy Labyrinth
(1986), and then, at 17, was the titular
hero in Ron Howard’s Tolkienesque
adventure Willow (1988), starring at last
without a monster mask or make-up.
On television he played Reepicheep the
mouse in the BBC Chronicles of Narnia
serial The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1989)
and as the owl Glimfeather in later chapter
The Silver Chair (1990). Much later he
would play Nikabrik in the blockbuster
movie of Prince Caspian (2008).
Davis headed Stateside to assume the
homicidal title role in the low budget
comic horror Leprechaun film series
between 1993-2003, starring in heavy
prosthetics in six movies.
His own face was seen in a US TV
movie Snow White (2001) but more
significant was his participation in the
Harry Potter films, appearing in two very
different make-ups as Professor Filius
Flitwick. He began the franchise with The
Philosopher’s Stone (2001), also playing
a goblin character in the same film via
prosthetic make-up. He took a double role
in Deathly Hallows Parts I and II (2010/11),
playing not just Flitwick but also Griphook
in heavy prosthetics.
He continued to play masked movie
creatures including Marvin the Paranoid
Android in the film version of The
Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy (2005) and
returned to the Star Wars franchise with
The Phantom Menace (1999) and, more
recently, The Force Awakens (2015), Rogue
One (2016) and The Last Jedi (2017).
Although Davis had forged a career in
fantasy films and TV, it was a cameo role
in Extras (2006) that led him to appear as
himself in leading roles. Extras creators
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant wrote
the sitcom Life’s Too Short (2011 and a 2013
Special) for him, with Davis playing a
fictionalised version of himself.
Davis has hosted TV game shows
Celebrity Squares (2014/15) and Tenable
(2016-), and fronted travelogues An Idiot
Abroad 3 (2012) with Karl Pilkington, and
Weekend Escapes with Warwick Davis (2014).
He has been the subject of both Piers
Morgan’s Life Stories (2015) and Who Do You
Think You Are? (2017).
Varied projects have included comedy
movie Agent One-Half (2008), TV guest
roles in Merlin (2010) and Billionaire Boy
(2016), and online mini-series Dwarves
Assemble (2013).
Davis’ stage work includes,
inevitably, several panto productions
of Snow White but also a West
End run in Spamalot (2013). He
runs the Reduced Height Theatre
Company, which toured with farce
See How They Run (2014), covered by
a Modern Times TV documentary in
2015. Davis has since also produced
comic strip musical Eugenius! (2018).

He married wife Samantha in June 1991,

Introduction
he 2017 Christmas Special,
Twice Upon a Time, began with
scenes previously seen on
Doctor Who, winding back an
astonishing 709 episodes. The
Name of the Doctor got there
first, however, and went one better (or
more than 89 better if you like) taking
us back to before the events of the very
first episode.
This story was the last to air before
the 50th Anniversary Special, The Day
of the Doctor [2013 - see Volume 75], hit
our screens later that year. It effectively
kicked off a trilogy of anniversary episodes
and, with this in mind, presented us
with a plot that encompassed all of the
Doctor’s adventures.
Not only did it take us back to Gallifrey
and, for the first time, showed us the First
Doctor and Susan ‘borrowing’ the TARDIS
and fleeing Gallifrey, it also featured many
cs DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
of the Doctors in between and flashbacks
to earlier stories.
This technique in itself was not new. Back
in 1966, The Celestial Toymaker {see Volume
7| included short clips from The Daleks’
Master Plan [1965/6 - see Volume 6] and
The Massacre of St Bartholomew’s Eve [1966
- also Volume 7]. As time passed, it was
not at all uncommon for moments from
earlier episodes to be used in the series. In
Logopolis [1981 - see Volume 33], the Fourth
Doctor remembered his companions by
way of a montage of clips. In a number of
episodes - including The Next Doctor {2008
- see Volume 60] and The Eleventh Hour
[2010 - see Volume 63] - old footage was
used to present all of the Doctor’s previous
incarnations to the audience.
Someone was missing, however, from
those two sequences. The Name of the Doctor
was also notable for revealing a previously
unmentioned Doctor - one that he chooses
to forget...
The surprise introduction of John
Hurt as the War Doctor had a knock-on
effect. Not only did it pave the way for his
role in the 50th Anniversary Special, but it
also added to the number of regenerations
the Doctor had expended, meaning that
by The Time of Doctor [2013 - see Volume
75] the Doctor was nearing the end of his
allotted 13 lives.
The Name of the Doctor teased us,
suggesting we'd learn the answer to “the
question that must never be answered” =
Doctor’s real name. And while it sensibly
avoided such a controversial revelatio
nevertheless played a key part in the
arching storyline that was threaded thr
the Eleventh Doctor’s adventures. Ml

STORY
n alarm is sounding in a repair
A: in Gallifrey. Someone is
stealing a TARDIS - the First
Doctor. But then Clara appears and
tells him he is about to make a very
big mistake. [1]
Clara is shattered across the Doctor’s
timeline, always running to find and save
the Doctor.
In London in 1893, Vastra visits the
occupant of a prison cell. He warns
her that the Whisper Men are near and
tells her that the Doctor has a secret
that he will take to the grave - and it
is discovered! [2]
Back home, Vastra tells Jenny they
will need to make a “conference call”.
Strax is away in Glasgow, but receives
a message from Vastra and Archie to
render him unconscious.
Clara is busy making a soufflé when
she notices a letter with a wax seal and

=i Ye
the words ‘Open When Alone’. She takes
it upstairs to read in her room; it’s from
Vastra, explaining that there is a soporific
that will induce a trance state embedded
in the fabric of the paper.
Clara falls asleep - and joins Vastra,
Jenny and Strax in a dream room.
Then River Song appears. Vastra explains
that a murderer has given her the space-
time co-ordinates of the location of the
Doctor’s greatest secret. [3]
Jenny senses that someone has broken
into their house in the real world -
and then says she thinks she has been
murdered. Vastra wakes up, to find
herself surrounded by sinister Whisper
Men! The Whisper Men enter the dream
and tell Clara that the Doctor’s friends
will be lost forevermore unless the
Doctor goes to Trenzalore. [4]
Clara wakes up - to find Angie and
Artie have gone, leaving the Doctor
playing Blind Man’s Bluff. She tells the
Doctor about Trenzalore and follows
him to the TARDIS. He explains that the
murderer wasn’t saying that his secret is
discovered; he was saying that his grave
is discovered.
The Doctor crashlands the TARDIS
on Trenzalore. He emerges with Clara
into a graveyard, not far from the
Doctor’s tomb - his TARDIS from the
future, grown to a massive size. [5]
They find River Song’s grave. Clara can
see and hear River Song, who suggests P
that the grave might be a secret entrance
to the tomb. [6]
Vastra and Strax wake up near the
giant TARDIS. They find Jenny, who
Strax revives. Then the Whisper Men
arrive, led by Doctor Simeon, a puppet
of the Great Intelligence. [7]
The Doctor and Clara climb through
the ruined TARDIS. Clara remembers
the Doctor telling her about their
meetings in the Dalek asylum and
Victorian London. [8]
The Doctor and Clara join Simeon
outside. Simeon orders the Doctor to
speak the word that will open the tomb.
Then the tomb opens - because of River
saying the Doctor’s name.
They enter the tomb. It’s the
overgrown console room. In the centre
is a tear in the fabric of reality leading to
the Doctor’s timeline. The Doctor grows
weak - and Simeon enters the tear,
determined to take revenge on every
second of the Doctor’s life. [9]
Vastra, Jenny and Strax go outside. As
the Doctor’s timeline is corrupted, all
the worlds he has saved disappear.
Clara says, “Run, you clever boy, and
remember me,” before stepping into the
tear, restoring the Doctor’s timeline. [10]
The Doctor recovers, but decides he
must get Clara back. River moves to slap
him - and he stops her. He could see and
hear her all along! [11] He kisses her and
enters his own timeline.
The Doctor finds Clara somewhere
in the darkness of his timeline. She
stumbles into his arms - and discovers
his secret. An earlier incarnation who
the Doctor would rather forget. [12]

t occurred to me that we had
avery light and frothy season
opener, and quite a few frothy,
fun ones since, and I was slightly
missing a proper doom-fraught
episode,” lead writer Steven
Moffat told Doctor Who Magazine. For the
pay-off to the 2013 series, the showrunner
wanted to depict a Doctor who was
severely troubled by the events unfolding
around him; in particular, Moffat recalled
the funereal atmosphere of Logopolis [1981
- see Volume 33] and the events leading
up to the Doctor’s fourth regeneration.
Much of this climactic narrative would
draw upon the destination of Trenzalore
which Moffat had written into the dialogue
of The Wedding of River Song [2011 - see
DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
Volume 70], the 2011 series finale. “I’ve
always had a sort of plan for the Doctor
and Trenzalore,” he explained in Doctor
Who Magazine.
Another key element of the finale
plot was the resolution of the mystery
surrounding Clara, the Impossible Girl,
which had pervaded the series since
Asylum of the Daleks {2012 - see Volume
70]. This would be resolved in another
encounter with the Great Intelligence
which had recently featured in both The
Snowmen [2012 - see Volume 72] and
The Bells of Saint John [2013 - see Volume
72]. However, while continuing to speak
through the form of Dr Simeon, Moffat
also wanted a new monstrous presence to
threaten the Doctor and his friends. “The

great dilemma is that Doctor Who is never
more like Doctor Who when it is introducing
anew monster, but equally when it’s
reviving a foe from the classic era,” he told
the BBC website. “Having brought back
two of the classics, the Ice Warriors and
the Cybermen, this year we wanted a
brand-new monster to create chills in
the finale. And the thought of stylish,
whispering almost-faceless creatures was
an idea that firstly scared me and that I
thought would work well in an episode
that looks forward and back.”
For the anniversary year - and the lead-
in to the 50th Anniversary Special - Moffat
constructed a narrative that would link
into the series’ 50-year history, placing
Clara throughout the Doctor’s time stream
R WANTED TO DEP!
S SEVERELY TROU
UNFOLDING AROU
to help him out at vital moments in his
life. In particular, the story would depict a
flashback prior to the start of the series in
1963, showing the original incarnation of
the Doctor and his granddaughter Susan
appropriating the faulty TARDIS which
would become their home long before
their arrival on Earth for the events of
the début story, 100,000 BC [1963 - see
Volume 1]. The finale would also feature
both the trio of Vastra, Jenny and Strax
and the Doctor’s mysterious, temporarily
displaced wife River Song.
Draft 1 of The Name of the Doctor was
dated Thursday 1 November 2012, and
for the bulk of the time the dialogue was
identical to the final shooting script. In

Above:
Clara and
the Doctor
are in for an
emotional ride.
Doctor’s life, Clara awoke in a cottage
bedroom rather than floating in a void
and commented in a voice-over about how
she had dreamed about the Doctor last
night - as she always did. Clara was living
in a cottage by the sea, and that morning
she received two letters. One was from the
Maitland family with a photograph and
the comment ‘MISS YOU’. Looking out of
the window she saw the overgrown and
abandoned TARDIS in the cottage garden.
She then recalled a dream of encountering
the Fourth Doctor in a corridor, and then
seeing the Fifth Doctor outside a window
but being unable to make him hear her.
On the beach, she saw the Eighth Doctor
striding along a clifftop. Next Clara was
bursting through a crowd in a London
street where UNIT soldiers were erecting
a cordon and the Third Doctor arrived in
‘his little yellow car’. Then she glimpsed
the Sixth Doctor working on a sparking
control panel aboard a spaceship, the
Second Doctor running for his life across
a field, the Seventh Doctor hanging by his
os DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
a
umbrella from a girder, the Tenth Doctor
hunched over a campfire with his back to
her and turning... as she awoke. Next she
was running through a busy street calling
after the Ninth Doctor - and awoke to
find herself watching TV. Sitting with her
back to the overgrown TARDIS, she wept:
“Don’t go! Whatever Vastra says, or River,
or me, please Doctor, just don't go... Don't
go to Trenzalore!”
TARDIS tomb
hen Vastra returned home after
visiting Clarence, she spoke to
Jenny in the orchid house seen
in the previous episodes rather than the
living room. The conference call was
conducted in a spooky, deserted aquarium
with illuminated fish tanks all around
those present. Strax fought with Archie
in an alley behind a pub in Glasgow, and
when Strax came to he addressed the
Whisper Men, thanking them for the
honour of attacking him in number and
picking up a plank and shovel to defend
himself. At the graveyard on Trenzalore,
River prompted Clara to get the Doctor
to open the trapdoor by transfer to DNA,
so Clara suggested that the Doctor kissed
the name of his dead wife, activating the
entrance. After the trapdoor slammed
shut again, the Whisper Men headed for
the giant TARDIS... as another, older ‘pre-
Matt’ TARDIS without the St John logo
appeared alongside it. The door opened,
and a coughing, spluttering figure emerged
to see the first TARDIS. Entering the lower
level of the TARDIS tomb, when Clara
asked the Doctor if he loved River Song, he
replied, “She was clever and brave and kind
and funny. And had more love in one heart
than I could ever have in two.” Suddenly, a
strange scream terrified the Doctor - but
this was a scream only he and Dr Simeon
L.A AAS | RR
Pre-production
could hear, and Simeon told Vastra that
there was a word inside the scream. The
Doctor arrived at the crypt entrance,
admitting that the word was his name;
somebody inside his tomb was screaming
his name, “And logically it can only be one
person.” The Doctor’s burial chamber was
simply a circular stone room with the time
rift inside it; footprints were leading to it,
so Clara assumed somebody else had been
here. Analysing the rift with the sonic, the
Doctor commented: “The Time War. The
last day of the Time War. And the worst
day of my life... And someone wants me to
go back.” Simeon was delighted, and the
Doctor explained about the battle between
Time Lords and Daleks to Clara - and
how he stopped it. Simeon
entered the rift to learn
everything. Clara stumbled
into the rift and the
Doctor tried to save her
from the vortex
energy, but
she vanished...
reappearing a
moment later as
Oswin... and vanishing
again to reappear as the
Victorian governess...
and then as Clara.
Clara collapsed, but told
the Doctor that she had
seen him - all of him,
stealing the TARDIS in
his first incarnation,
running around in
other incarnations.
“I saw Amy Pond fall
from the Pandorica,’
continued Clara as the
stage directions noted,
‘We see Amy fall from
the Pandorica in The
Big Bang [2010 - see
Ww
Volume 66]. There is a crew
member accidentally in the
back of shot - by cutting to a
close on Clara, can we make
it seem like it’s her?’ “I saw
the astronaut shoot you by
Silencio Lake,” continued
Clara, and again the script
noted, ‘The lakeside scene
in The Impossible Astronaut/
Day of the Moon {2011 - see
Volume 66]. Again, there’s
a crew member accidentally
in shot, behind the hut.
Can we try the same trick - if this works!’
She remembered dying in the Asylum
and in Victorian London and the Doctor
promised her that her memories would
fade; the time rift sent echoes of Clara
through his life, a genetic pattern acting

like a guardian angel. The Doctor thanked — ne of
her for being real and saving him, but the creepy
Whisper Men,
then she started to scream hysterically:
“I know who you are. I’ve seen who you
are! I’ve seen what you become! Keep him
away from me!” Strax pressed a device
against her neck to stun her, and the
Doctor stepped back towards the rift
saying that he needed to return to the
Time War to resolve it - he then spoke
directly to the unseen River, and the
script concluded with River
fading away.

the Doctor inviting the party to enter his

This closing sequence was substantially

his features blurring into those of previous
incarnations. This new version now had
s2 DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
the further flashbacks of Clara and Oswin’s
other lives as in the shooting script.
Shooting script
ihe episode was to be directed by Saul
Metzstein - who had already handled
two episodes earlier in the run,
including The Snowmen and The Crimson
Horror |2013 - see page 6] - and would
be made at the end of the run. However,
because of the complexities of scheduling
production, at least two units would be at
work through late November. Metzstein
would helm the ‘Finale Unit’ working
on Block Eleven which for the first week
would overlap with Stephen Woolfenden
recording the end of Block Ten, The Last
Cyberman (latterly Nightmare in Silver |2013
- see page 46]). The week after this, a
double-bank unit would record inserts for
numerous episodes and related projects,
while Metzstein completed the finale. At
the outset of the shoot it was known that
certain sequences - mainly at the end of
the script - would not be recorded as part
and place.’ Clara then found herself in
‘a dark metallic corridor’ where she met
‘a figure in a long scarf and wild mop of
hair... the Tom Baker Doctor’. Looking out
of a window in the long corridor she saw
in the building opposite ‘a man is walking
along a similar corridor... it is the Peter
Davison Doctor’. On a ‘windswept beach’
she looked up to ‘a figure on the cliff top

Wah
n the original kitchen scene, Clara
argued with Angie about her
homework and said she had to do it
again while Artie claimed he was doing
really well - but was in fact just drawing
lots of pictures of Cybermen. At this
juncture, George Maitland entered the
kitchen and handed the letter to Clara.
Originally, after the Doctor heard the
message from Clara, he left the Maitland
home, with Clara running after him to
the TARDIS and hammering on the
doors which then opened before she
could use her key to open them. Inside,
the Doctor was brooding beneath the
console and commented that the TARDIS
let her in; at the end of the scene when
the Doctor insisted that the journey to
Trenzalore would be too dangerous for
Clara, the doors slammed shut and Clara
commented, “Us girls together.” Trenzalore
was described as ‘the scariest planet ever!
Dark, giant craters, ravaged, ruined - a
whole chunk missing from it, like a bite
from an apple, debris drifting into space
from this terrible gash’ As the TARDIS
hurtled down towards Trenzalore, the
Doctor and Clara clung to the TARDIS in
zero gravity, with the Doctor saying
that they will be fine if the TARDIS turns
the inertial dampers back on. After the
landing on Trenzalore, inside the TARDIS
the Doctor and Clara recovered and
discussed visiting the former’s grave.
Emerging into the stone meadow, they
soon encountered a structure looking like
a massive TARDIS.
The crypt entrance was described as
‘a huge chamber, receding into darkness.
The walls are made of - what? - metal, so
corroded it could look almost like stone.
Patterned into the walls, roundels, not
unlike the TARDIS - but massive and
distorted. Almost like they’ve started to
run down the wall, like Salvador Dali
clocks. Originally when the Doctor and
Clara walked through the catacombs,
River commented that the Doctor had put
on a few pounds (“Got to keep him away
from bacon sandwiches”) and indicated
that he responded to somebody shouting
“run!” in a Pavlovian manner. When the
Doctor and Clara arrived at
the crypt entrance, the Time
Lord greeted Dr Simeon
(“How’s the intelligence
- still great?”), Vastra (“of
Paternoster Row - locked up
any good monsters lately?”),
Jenny (“Lose the lizard, the
night can be ours”) and Strax
(“My number one space
potato!”). When Simeon
asked the Doctor to invite
them inside, River urged
Clara to take the Doctor’s
hand; this helped restore
the Doctor’s bravado and he
acceded to the demand.
The Doctor’s burial
chamber was described as
‘an Indiana Jones-style room.
A circular stone room, several entrances.
It takes a moment to recognise it, but
in fact it is the TARDIS control room,
vastly aged and tragically redeployed. The

When Simeon stepped into the Doctor’s
life, the stage directions in the revised
shooting script noted: ‘flashes of the

When Clara was reborn and lived new
lives, there was a short scene of Clara
and another barmaid clearing out the
back of the Rose and Crown in Victorian
London when Clara suddenly declared
that she should be a nanny looking after
kids. In revisions, this was replaced by
a scene in the pub which was noted as
‘possibly a shot stolen from the Christmas
Episode’ and followed by her waking up
in her bedroom at the Rose and Crown
commenting, “I shouldn’t be here...
I should be a nanny. I should be looking
after kids.” There was then a montage
of scenes from the Christmas episode,
‘a superfast (only a few seconds) cut down
of the whole story, blizzarding by. Ending
as Clara plunges from the cloud, to her
death. Her cry becomes - the cry of a
new born baby. The scene changed to a
futuristic city with the note, ‘We could use
a shot of New Earth for this’; there was to
have been a conversation between Oswin
and her mother, with the girl saying,
“You know what? I should be out in space.
Don’t know why I feel that, but I do... Just
thinking I might join the Space Corps.”
This led into ‘a lightning fast cut down
of the whole Asylum episode (only a few
seconds) ending with the Doctor’s escape
and the planet exploding. This then led to
the sequence with the First Doctor stealing
the TARDIS. As the Doctor ascended
the steps to the rift, the stage directions
likened him to ‘Sydney Carton ascending
to the guillotine’ in reference to the
self-sacrifice of the main character in
Charles Dickens’ 1859 novel A Tale of
Two Cities.
The opening of the episode with the
Doctor’s original acquisition of the TARDIS
was set on ‘Gallifrey - a very long time
ago’. Originally, no specific year was given
in the script for the Victorian sequences,
although this was shown on screen as 1893
- the same year as The Crimson Horror. The
present day sequences took place on 10
April 2013 - partway through transmission
of the series and a week after the day on
which the graveyard scene in The Snowmen
had originally been set.

these were generally minor in
nature as Dr Simeon’s comments about
the Sycorax leader, Solomon, Cybermen
and Daleks were inserted, while his claim
that the Great Intelligence had learned
every secret ever was omitted. Following
the weekend, work continued in tandem
with Block Ten. Recording in Studio 4
at Roath Lock was scheduled for 9am to
8pm, covering scenes in the dreamscape
where Vastra and Jenny summoned their
colleagues, with Alex Kingston returning
to production as River and Fiona Walsh
of Millennium FX supervising McIntosh’s
lizard-like appearance. Coleman began
the day working with the other crew, and
then joined the trance-inducted conference
call from 11.25am. The following day
saw an extended shoot from 9am to 9pm;
both Coleman and Smith were back on
the Cybermen episode, so Richard E
Grant resumed his role as the possessed
Dr Simeon to confront Vastra and her
friends at the crypt entrance, constructed
in Studio 4. The Whisper Men team from
Millennium FX now comprised Lorenzo

and Rani Sikka.
More pink revisions were made to the

omitted, Clara now told the Doctor about
Jenny being dead during the living room
conversation, Clara running out of the
Maitland house and into the TARDIS was
dropped, and the start of the next scene
inside the ship was changed - adding the
reference to Dorium and omitting the
material where Clara’s decision to stay
was made for her. Some of the dialogue
between the Doctor and Clara after their
arrival on Trenzalore was moved outside
the TARDIS into the stone meadow, and
the scene of them first seeing the giant
TARDIS was dropped. Some of River’s

McIntosh being a little stronger than the
recipient expected; “Oh, I did, I slapped
her. It was terrible. I think I don’t know
my own strength,” confessed Kingston to
the BBC website. The effect shot of Dr
Simeon’s face being torn was recorded
against a greenscreen, with Millennium
FX’s Rob Mayor in charge of this special
prosthetic effect; Richard E Grant also
recorded inserts for The Bells of Saint John
[2013 - see Volume 72] before the unit
went out on location to record a new
scene for The Snowmen. A further pick-up
at Roath Lock was a shot of the telegram
received by Strax, and Valentina Visintin

When the Whisper Man asked Clarence if

“Of course!” “Yet tomorrow you hang,”

again took over the unit back at Roath

Victorian mother with her baby and also of
the young Victorian Clara at the window;

Doctor and Clara falling through River’s
false grave was then performed with stunt
experts Gordon Seed and Dani Biernat

doubling for Smith and Coleman under
the guidance of Crispin Layfield. Further
recording through to 7pm covered the
Doctor and Clara aboard the TARDIS
on its hazardous journey to Trenzalore.
Meanwhile, John Hayes and the double
bank unit had been working since 8am in
Studio 3 on the TARDIS’ dramatic arrival
in the stone meadow of Trenzalore and
the sight of the Doctor’s massive tomb,
following which they recorded inserts for
Nightmare in Silver. That afternoon, the set
was visited by Tim Davie, the BBC’s acting
Director General.
“After 10 months of shooting we’re
about to finish this series,’ Steven Moffat
told the behind-the-scenes crew on
Saturday 1 December. “It’s a strange
feeling... very strange feeling.” Coleman
started work with the finale unit at 8am,
completing period Clara’s greenscreen
interaction with the Second, Third and
Eighth Doctors in Studio 3 with Simon
Challis and Liam Hanley dressed as
the Second Doctor and Eighth Doctor.
Coleman then joined the double-bank

unit while Elena Allsopp doubled for
her as Oswin as Clara’s alter-ego gazed
upon a futuristic city - to be inserted by
post production on the greenscreen of
Studio 1. Studio 4 was then home to the
underground workshop of Gallifrey where
Andro and Fabian witnessed the theft
of a TARDIS, with Andy Sweet standing
in as the shadowy figure of Dr Simeon
as the Great Intelligence attempted to
rewrite the Doctor’s life at this early point.
Smith and Coleman then returned from
completing work on Nightmare in Silver
with the double-bank unit and recorded
all the remaining TARDIS scenes of the
Doctor and Clara heading for Trenzalore.
“The explosion was incredible. I loved it!”
exclaimed Smith after the pyrotechnics
detonated during this sequence by the
visual effects team. With work covered
by a behind-the-scenes team, principal
recording on the series wrapped on time
at 7pm.
Following the New Year, pre-production
commenced on the April recording for
the 50th Anniversary Special and also the
conclusion to the finale. This material was
issued as a shooting script
entitled The Name of the

From 8am to 7pm on Monday 25
March 2013, Matt Smith recorded his
scene in Clara’s dreamscape first in Roath
Lock Studio 4, after which Jenna-Louise
Coleman took centre stage for Clara’s
wander into the Doctor’s dreamscape.

painting and a dismantled Spoonhead
from The Bells of Saint John.
On Tuesday 26 most of the concluding
scene for The Name of the Doctor wwas
recorded with Smith and Coleman from
9am to 8pm in Studio 3. Crispin Layfield
supervised Clara being buffered by the
Doctor’s earlier incarnations with Kevin
Legg, Thomas Taylor and Stephen Coggins
now joined by Neil Rogers and Simon
Ward as the fifth and ninth incarnations
of the Doctor. Tests with the 3D cameras
to be used on the anniversary episode
were then conducted from 8am on
Wednesday 27, after which a series of
bulletins entitled Strax News were recorded
against greenscreen in Studio 3 from
2pm with Dan Starkey in full costume as
the Sontaran. Also during the afternoon,
Matt Smith met with children from
the Starlight Wish Givers scheme and
recording concluded at Spm. The
very final shots of John Hurt as the
unknown previous incarnation of the
Doctor were then recorded in Studio 2
by director Nick Hurran on Friday 5 April.
The closing captions appended to the
episode read: ‘Introducing John Hurt
as The Doctor. To Be Continued...
November 23rd’
Another special shoot during the
anniversary block was a 48” video sequence
written for the forthcoming BAFTA
ceremony in May. This was recorded on
the TARDIS set with Smith and Coleman
by Nick Hurran on Thursday 25 April
to a special script entitled BAFTA Scene
issued on Monday 22 April; the Doctor
addressed ceremony host Graham Norton
regarding a golden BAFTA Award trophy
mask - which he noted resembled an Axon
from The Claws of Axos [1971 - see Volume
16] - before Clara explained to him what
this object really was and then, as Coleman
headed for the live ceremony, added,
“Wish me luck!”

n editing, footage taken from
episodes throughout the history a
of Doctor Who was inserted as
required. The colourised shots
_ of William Hartnell’s Doctor in
the pre-credits came from two
episodes of the monochrome serial The
Aztecs [1964 - see Volume 2]; the shot of
him in the doorway was originally him
entering the temple in the episode The
Warriors of Death while the next shot of
him listening to Clara was originally a
conversation with Cameca from The Day
of Darkness. The Doctor’s line of dialogue
was lifted from Invasion, the fifth episode
of The Web Planet [1965 - see Volume
4]. The Fourth Doctor striding along a
corridor was taken from Part Two of The
Invasion of Time [1978 - see Volume 28],
while the Sylvester McCoy Doctor was seen
dangling in the cliffhanger from Part One
of Dragonfire. The Third Doctor drove past
in Bessie from The Five Doctors, which was
also the source of the fur-coated Second
Doctor running along; this was one of
three colour serials in which the Second
Doctor had appeared. The prone Fifth
Doctor was shown in the Matrix from Part
Three of Arc of Infinity [1983 - see Volume
36], and Clara then pursued the current
Doctor in The Snowmen before the leaf
sequence with Dave and Ellie from The
Rings of Akhaten [2013 - see Volume 73] was
seen. After the credit sequence, the setting
was established by the caption ‘London

referred to the Chancellery
Guard of Gallifrey first seen
in The Deadly Assassin [1976
- see Volume 26] and also
the definition of the TARDIS
as Type 40 first heard in the
same story. The Doctor had
referred to the TARDIS’
ability to change shape as a cloaking device
in the Doctor Who TV Movie [1996 - see
Volume 47], although when Rose had used
the term in Boom Town [2005 - see Volume
50] he had corrected her to “chameleon
circuit”, a term first heard on television
in Logopolis and coined in the 1976
novelisation Doctor Who and the Terror
of the Autons.
At the end of the scene in the prison,
when Clarence asked “Well?”, Vastra
originally replied, “Speak.”
During the conference call, after Strax
said that he was busy destroying pleasant
primitives, he originally clutched his
head and shouted, “Thank you, Archie,
that will be all.” When Clara arrived in
the dreamscape, after Vastra explained
that time travel had always been possible
in dreams, she added, “Think of this
Gate [1981 - see
Volume 33].
DOCTOR WHO | THE COMPLETE HISTORY
ee
as a conference call within an agreed
dreamscape.” After Jenny said that the
location of the Doctor’s secret was secret,
Clara replied, “Fair point - but where is
he?” “Where’s who?” asked Jenny. “The
Doctor,’ continued Clara. “It’s his secret
we're talking about.” When River asked
how Clarence described what he was giving
Vastra, the Great Detective originally
replied, “He said the Doctor had a secret
and he...” “I said exactly. Exactly what
did he say?” asked the professor. When
Jenny was murdered in London, in the
dreamscape River commented, “She’s gone,
she’s just an image now,” as Jenny faded
away like smoke.
After Strax awoke in Glasgow, the
next scene in the dreamscape originally
began earlier with Clara and River alone.
“What do I do, do I wake up?” asked
Clara. “It’s up to you now - you have to
warn the Doctor,” insisted River as the
Whisper voices echoed, “Doctor... Doctot...
Doctor...” causing the women to spin
around and see their attackers. “What are
they? What are those things?” asked Clara.
“Whatever they are, they’ve breached the
dreamscape - come here,” said River as she
grabbed the girl and kissed her hard on
the forehead. “What are you doing?” asked
Clara as River rounded on the Whisper
Men asking them what they wanted.
In the kitchen, after the Doctor admitted
to Clara that River was “an ex”, he then
asked, “And Jenny’s dead?” “She said she’d
been murdered, it was... horrible,” recalled
Clara. “She was in the mindscape at the
time - there’s still a chance, I suppose,”
ruminated the Doctor before asking Clara
to recall Clarence’s exact words.
After the arrival on Trenzalore, the
conversation between the Doctor and
Clara about the gravestones being a bit
basic and how the size of the gravestone
denoted the rank of the fallen on the
battlefield was added in dubbing and
reworked some previously deleted
dialogue. The scene of Vastra’s party
encountering Dr Simeon at the crypt
entrance originally came before the Doctor
discussing the huge TARDIS monument.
After Strax restarted Jenny’s heart, he told
Vastra, “You would do well to remember
Iam a fully qualified nurse.” “You are
a good friend, Strax,” said the grateful
Silurian. “I resent that!” retorted her
butler. “I do not retract it,” assured Vastra.
As the Doctor made off for the huge
TARDIS mausoleum and called back to
Clara to follow him, River assured Clara,
“I’m a mental projection. We linked minds,
remember?” Clara recalled how River had
kissed her forehead in the dreamscape.
After River explained how she left the line
open, Clara replied, “I thought you were
just into me.” When the Doctor appeared
to see River by speaking her name, River
said, “And here he is, my dashing boy.
I do like the new coat.” “That’s not
possible,” said the Doctor. “Oh, and there’s
gray hair number eight - is it wrong if
I do a little dance?” continued River as
the Doctor walked right through her
hologram-like form to the gravestone.
Shivering, she added, “Ooh! He’s still got it
though.” When Clara insisted that she had
met River, the Doctor replied, “A mental
after-image, a sort of ghost - long story.”
As the Whisper Men advanced on the
pair by the grave, the Doctor commented,
“Ohh! There’s always a new scary thing,
isn’t there - when are they going to run out
of those?” As the Doctor pondered on the
riddle of River’s grave, River commented,
“Oh, I do like to watch a man think! It’s
like watching a whale knit.”
The Doctor and Clara’s dialogue at the
start of the scene in the catacombs was
added in dubbing. At the crypt entrance,
when recalling the “minor skirmish”, Dr
Simeon mentioned how “the neverborn
Queen and the children of the Final
Church” were too much for the old man.
When Dr Simeon told Vastra that he was
information, he continued, “I am the Great
Intelligence and I have consumed many
minds and so much knowledge.” “And
you've taken physical form again, I see?”
noted Jenny.

Simeon commented, “These paper shells
are mere whispers of substance but they
serve well enough. So long as you carry
spares.” “How could you subdue us and
bring us here, with only paper men?”
asked Strax, “I was in Scotland!” “Reality
is easily manipulated when you understand
what it is,” replied the tool of the
Intelligence, “It’s the power of thought,
Commander Strax - not something one
can explain to a potato.” “Clearly you
brought us here so the Doctor would
follow,” observed Vastra, “but why bring
him to his own grave?” Turning to the
mighty doors of the crypt, Simeon replied,

Attack of the
Whisper Man.
“Because I know what happens when
a time traveller dies. And I know what’s
in there.”
When the Doctor urged Clara to run
in lower levels of the TARDIS, the Whisper
voices were to have continued: “You’ve
seen the life the Doctor led. Now see
instead the Doctor dead.” After River Song
opened the doors - to the amazement
of the Doctor - she commented to him,
“Now pull yourself together - you’re
embarrassing me.” River then slapped
the Doctor across the face, but her hand
just passed through him, and she was left
ruminating, “Well that’s not as much fun
as it used to be.” As she strode off, the
Doctor put his hand to his cheek. After
Dr Simeon asked the Doctor to invite
the party inside the tomb, the Doctor
asked, “All those other graves. What are
they?” “It’s a local tradition,” explained
the Intelligence, “The souls of the victims
guarding the tyrant’s tomb, in case he
should ever rise again.” “I am not, and
never will be, a tyrant,” stated the Doctor.
“You're going to live a long life, and fall
a long way,’ replied Simeon. “Time to
see where you land.” Bracing himself, the
Doctor turned to the group and said,
“T’m not quite sure of the etiquette - but
welcome to my grave.”
When the Doctor explained about the
rift representing the tracks of his tears, he
originally said, “It’s what happens when
a time traveller dies... All the paradoxes.

The causality loops... Every journey you
take, the tear gets longer, the wound opens
further.” He staggered, causing Clara
to ask, “You all right?” “Fine, yes, fine,”
assured the Time Lord, “The damage
follows you everywhere, of course, but
you never see it. Not till you stop long
enough for it all to catch up. Not till you’re
completely still. Not till you die.” As the
Doctor considered every moment he ever
lived, he added, “Every step, every kiss.”
When the Doctor almost collapsed, Vastra
asked, “This damage you have caused -
is it dangerous?” “No,” replied the Doctor.
“Then why is it sealed away?” enquired
the Great Detective. “Because it is
dangerous to him,” stated Simeon,
ascending the steps of the chamber.
As the Intelligence announced that it
could rewrite the Doctor’s every living
moment, it continued - with reference to
The Bells of Saint John - “What is it those
fools would say, back in The Cloud, in
London? I can ‘hack’ your entire existence.”
After the Doctor warned Simeon that
he would be scattered like confetti, the
Intelligence replied, “You made me what
Iam. Unending. Undying.” The Doctor
continued, “Look. I realise we may have
got off on the wrong foot...” “No more
words,” replied Simeon as he bid farewell
in the column of light; this was to have led
into a series of flashbacks of the Doctor’s
adventures now featuring Simeon.

used it on Strax’s unit and scanned the
rift again, noting that the timeline
was corrupting.
At the start of the next scene in the
burial chamber, the sequence opened with
Clara telling the Doctor, “You met me
before, and I died saving you. That’s the
truth, isn’t it? That’s why you always look
at me that way... I have to go in there... like
Dr Simeon...” When Clara asked River if
the echoes of her could save the Doctor,
she continued, “Dr Simeon, he said he was
hacking the Doctor’s life. I'd be like the
software patch - putting it all right again.”
As Clara reiterated that her actions would
be the only way to save the Doctor, River
asked, “Like him, don’t you?” “Takes one
to know one,” replied Clara as she stroked
the dying Doctor’s face, saying, “Hey. Look
at me. Look at me a moment. Just checking
something.” “Checking... what?” asked the
barely conscious Doctor. “I need to know
if you're worth it,” explained Clara. “I’m
not. I’m really not,” mumbled the Doctor.
“Wasn't asking you,” replied Clara, looking
directly at River as Vastra appeared in
the doorway.

rift, as the junior Victorian

to have been heard saying,
“Clara! Your uncle’s here.”
Back in the burial chamber,
after the Doctor noted that
River should have faded
away, he added, “Not like
you to hang around after the
party’s over.”
In the chaos of the battlefield, when the
Doctor’s voice insisted that he would not
get out of his own time stream until he
had Clara, he originally said, “Not until
I’ve got you. Just get up, just keep walking

to who you are and you can come back.

the worse it gets. Time is fracturing - my

the Doctor. Originally after asking how

executive producer, Steven Moffat, has
revealed he’s already plotting a brand-
new run of adventures for the Doctor’
‘This has been a patchy series... but
thankfully it has finished on a high.
The last two episodes - the Victorian
romp, then the return of the Cybermen
- have been a return to form. This
climactic episode was even better. It
was momentous, moving and thrilling,
yet somehow still found time to be
very funny in flashes (mainly thanks
to the highly quotable Strax), wrote
Michael Hogan of The Daily Telegraph.
However, Jon Cooper of the Daily
Mirror commented, ‘The first half of
the episode (if not more) is tense and
occasionally effective, but boy, does it
feel like padding’ On Sunday 19 May,
Doctor Who was discussed on BBC
One’s Points of View, featuring a video
comment from Oliver Bolton that
the series had become “boring [and]
unrealistic” and how correspondent
Andy Smith felt it was time for the
series to ‘hang up its hat’. BBC Drama
responded that the series had enjoyed

the ‘highest audience share out of all
dramas on any channels this year’ and
emphasised the positive response to
Jenna-Louise Coleman as well as both
the huge audience reach of the show
and the passion of its followers. In
The Times on Monday 20 May, critic
Andrew Billen felt that ‘when the big
reveal came in the final minute it just
wasn't that big’.
“What you're trying to do is get
people childishly excited about Doctor
Who,” explained Steven Moffat in
Doctor Who Magazine. “That’s what the
marketing strategy is. Whether you’re
an adult or a child, you watch Doctor
Who as a child. It should make you feel
like a child.”
Emotions run

THE NAME OF THE DOCTOR » sow2ss
Below:
Dan Starkey
hosts the BBC
Proms in 2016,
Profile
Strax
orn 27 September 1977, Dan
Starkey became a keen Doctor
Who viewer with Tom Baker’s
final series (1980/1), watching
avidly until the show’s initial
cancellation in 1989, by which
time he was 12 and at secondary school.
Leaving school in 1995, he studied at
Trinity Hall, Cambridge University, earning
a degree and MPhil in Anglo-Saxon, Norse
and Celtic. Starkey represented Trinity
College on University Challenge in 2014.
Having acted throughout school and
university, he later appeared in a friend’s
short film Fix (2004), and attended
improvisational acting workshops. These
gave him the confidence to audition for
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, where he
trained for three years, graduating in 2006.
An early stage appearance came in The
Lady’s Not for Burning (2007, Finborough
Theatre, London) but his key formative
work was in BBC radio.
oo. %
His broadcast début came in Radio 4
Saturday Play entry Another Country (aired
23 September 2006), with Chocolate Frigates
(2006) following. In nine months with
the BBC radio drama company over two
dozen plays and comedies included Dickens
Confidential, Piper Alpha, The Portrait of a
Lady, Television’s Over, Endless Night and On
the Beach (all 2008), plus Sherlock Holmes,
Scoop and The Time Machine (all 2009).
Starkey’s first Doctor Who in Sontaran
guise was his first TV work, playing
Commander Skorr in The Sontaran
Stratagem/The Poison Sky {2008 - see Volume
58]. At 5’2”, Starkey was of suitable height
for the uniformly short, squat appearance of
the Sontarans. He cameo’d as Commander
Jask, seen pursuing Mickey and Martha in
The End of Time [2009/10 - see Volume 62].
He returned in A Good Man Goes to War
[2011 - see Volume 68] playing Commander
Strax. The story introduced the Paternoster
Gang: Strax, Madame Vastra and Jenny
Flint. They featured in The Snowmen [2012
- see Volume 72], Children in Need minisode
The Great Detective (2012) and minisode
Vastra Investigates (2012). They returned in
The Crimson Horror [2013 - see page 6].
In addition to Strax’s role in The Name
of the Doctor, he also fronted a series of
associated internet minisodes Strax Field
Reports. Strax presented similar introductory
sequences for cinema screenings of both The
Day of the Doctor [2013 - see Volume 75] and
Peter Capaldi début Deep Breath [2014 - see
Volume 76], the latter episode once more
heavily featuring the Paternoster Gang.
Starkey also appeared as two Sontarans
invading the town of Christmas in The Time
of the Doctor {2013 - see Volume 75].
Strax is largely used for comic relief, but
as Starkey explained to Patrick Kavanagh-
Sproul of the DoctorwhoTV website in 2013:
“You can’t play comedy knowing that it’s
comedy. Strax isn’t in on the joke, and he
XA
takes everything extremely seriously, apart I,
from once or twice when he tries to make
a joke and, as you can see, it doesn’t come
naturally to him at all!”
Strax appeared briefly in The Five(ish)
Doctors Reboot (2013), and Starkey was Skorr
in 2009’s Doctor Who Prom. Strax and
Vastra (Neve McIntosh) went on to host
2013’s Proms.
Starkey appeared as Ian the Elf in
Christmas Special Last Christmas
[2014 - see Volume 80] and The
Sarah Jane Adventures episode
The Man Who Never Was (2011)
as Skullions leader Plark.
He has featured in
many Big Finish audio
productions, chiefly as
Sontaran characters,
including Sixth Doctor
story The First Sontarans
(2012); Seventh Doctor tales
Starlight Robbery (2013) and
Terror of the Sontarans (2015),
which Starkey co-wrote; Fourth
Doctor adventure The King of Sontar (2014)
and Eighth Doctor epic Dark Eyes 4 (2015).
More Sontarans followed in Classic Doctors,
New Monsters tale The Sontaran Ordeal
(2016), Early Adventures story The Sontarans
(2016) and Jago ¢& Litefoot & Strax (2015).
On stage, he was nominated for an Off
West End Award for his role in Muswell Hill
(2012, Richmond Orange Tree), toured with
The 39 Steps (2009), featured in Peter and
the Starcatcher (2016, Northampton Royal)
and regularly contributed to retro theatre
company The Fitzrovia Radio Hour.
Starkey’s TV work has included Casualty
(2012), Inside No 9 (2015) and Catherine
Tate’s Nan (2015). He was a regular in
Wizards vs Aliens (2012-14) in prosthetics as
the hobgoblin Randal Moon. Unmasked, he
played numerous lead characters in CBBC
comedy series Class Dismissed (2016-).
