Time Crash - Behind the Scenes - Part Ten

Excerpts from Benjamin Cook’s interview with writer Steven Moffat in DWM #389:

DWM: David and Peter's Doctors work together wonderfully, don't they? Steven Moffat: In honesty, I think it's partly because they both really want it to. I agreed to do this for Children in Need without actually knowing what I was saying yes to. 'Eight pages? How wrong can I go?' I bumped into David at some Chiswick House concert thing, and we were having a bit of a laugh, and drinking too much, and he said, 'We should get Peter back in,' because he really loves Peter, and loves his Doctor and all that. He was dead keen. I know Peter reasonably well, because Sue [Vertue, Steven's wife] worked with him for a while [as producer of 2006 sitcom Fear, Stress and Anger, starring Peter], so we're friends, and our families are friends, our kids are friends, and he's a big fan of the show. He loves watching Doctor Who, and he was keen to come in and do it. I knew that he wouldn't be resentful. There's enough commonality between their Doctors, I think, for it to work. They're sweet together.

Cassandra/The Doctor has entered the chat.

How did you approach playing the Doctor as inhabited by Cassandra? "I stuck my chest out and wiggled my arse! I think that was pretty much all there was to it." Any attempt to imitate Zoë Wanamaker? "I did try to have a mental image of Zoë Wanamaker at all times; I think you've got to. It's probably quite a comedic moment, and it's quite high-camp in some ways, but I did try to think of her. The more fantastical things get, the more you've got to keep nailing it on to some kind of reality. I wasn't doing her voice, cos she's inhabiting the Doctor's voice box, but I did try to think about how Zoë would be physically. The three of us who do it - Sean [Gallagher, who plays Chip], Billie and I - all adopted certain little mannerisms, which you may or may not see in the finished product. But I'm not going to try to pretend that it was all desperately serious and wasn't a lot of fun to do." -- Excerpt from a promotional interview with David Tennant at a New Earth set-report in issue #369 of Doctor Who Magazine, by Benjamin Cook.

i mean the addition of the revival era doctors in the war games in colour definitely wasn’t necessary… but i still blushed so hard seeing 13 on my screen 🥰
