See Doctor Who head ‘Under the Lake’ in chilling new pictures
In spite of this, the two episodes are so confoundingly obsessed with Whovian philosophy and mythology that they fail to ground themselves in their characters and their characters’ development.
Being Human creator Toby Whithouse returns to the Doctor Who fold with his fifth story, having previously contributed School Reunion for David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor and The Vampires of Venice, The God Complex and A Town Called Mercy for Matt Smith.
Ah, I really loved this.
With something like Doctor Who which is such a celebrated institution with a lot of people in the United Kingdom, how do you bring your own style into it or is it paramount to just blend in with the norm? They only come out at night. We even got to see what tends to happen to the Doctor if he travels alone too long, in “The Waters of Mars”. With Doctor Who, the adventures can involve anyone, anywhere at any time [laughs]. All is going well until they discover an abandoned spaceship that is being haunted by a ghostly creature named Prentis (Paul Kaye).
Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has opened up about Clara’s (Jenna Coleman) departure from the show this season, and although he didn’t give away any big whopping spoilers, he did tease that it would be “traumatic” for Peter Capaldi’s Doctor. Even the Doctor’s approach to the situation hearkens back to the show’s earliest days, when the Doctor’s curiosity made him willing not only to take risks but to push others to do so as well. Thats the beginning of the story. It would be ideal if they simply replace 10’s goofy blue and red paper 3D glasses to keep things unique to each Doctor, however I’m not totally sold on the idea of them fully replacing the sonic screwdriver. Being Doctor Who there was also a certain amount of digital effects so we then spent about five or six weeks in the edit.
I’d like to see the Doctor’s clockwork squirrel.
The episode once again is the first part of a two-part story. It was quite an intensive process but it had to be. Next thing you know, Moran is back… but he’s not the same.
It will feel real to me when it actually goes out there! The crew can’t figure out why Pritchard is acting so odd and won’t turn around later, until they notice his actual body floating outside the window – yep, Pritchard’s a ghost now, too. But I find that exciting.
Your work in United Kingdom television has been extensive now at this stage with Silent Witness, Being Human and Skins to name but a few. So there is a down the line and being a bit meta here, the show is expected to run at least until 2020, according to Moffat.
I would say its a mixture of both.
A BBC source admitted: “Doctor Who’s decline is very worrying and needs to be addressed”.
