Behind the Scenes of The Star Beast - Part Twenty Two

Excerpt from the SFX Doctor Who 60th Anniversary issue - Darren Scott’s interview with David Tennant:

From TV Times - Steven Perkins' interview with David Tennant:

TV Times: Was it lovely to be reunited in the Whoniverse with Catherine? David: Catherine is a deep joy, and has been from the first moment we ever worked together, which was indeed on Doctor Who - although we have done several other things since! We keep coming back to these characters, whether that's in audiobooks or, now, these special episodes, because it just feels so comfortable and joyous. I was very happy that the Doctor and Donna reunite, and that we have these new stories to tell. TV Times: Who else appears in The Star Beast? David: We've got Donna's family, who we remember from before. Jacqueline King is back as [Donna's mum] Sylvia; it's like she hasn't aged a single day! She's extraordinary. Then you've got [Heartstopper star] Yasmin Finney playing Rose, which had people perplexed at first thinking Billie Piper [who played companion Rose Tyler from 2005 to 2010] had been recast, but, of course, it's something much more unexpected. Yasmin's character affects Donna's life, and the Doctor's, in so many brilliant, beautiful, and clever ways.

Additional parts of this set are in the #whoBtsBeast tag. The full episode list is [ here ]

Fang: How many hearts do you have?

The Master laughs.

The Master: Ah--two! No more, no less. Two hearts.

Radio static.

The Master: Almost too easy to ruffle her fur! And now we have even more parts to play with! It'll just take a moment...

The Master works on the radio equipment.

The Master: Not that I'm complaining, but you're unusually quiet, Vegg.

Vegg: Two... hearts, you said?

The Master: Yes. Yes, I did.

Vegg: So, that would mean... you!...

The Master groans, then laughs.

The Master: yes?

Vegg: You have fought in a greater war than I could ever dream of!

The Master: Ah, yes, my people... so righteous, so unyielding, so important! They burned down the very foundations of the universe, rather than let it spin on without them, because nothing else, and no one else, could ever be so very important.

The Master: of course that's your takeaway from all this.

Vegg: why did you not tell me this from the start?! You must speak to me of the glory--

The Master: no!

Vegg: but why not?!

The Master: just drop it.

Vegg: Master! Your people triumphed against (?) enemies! Is that not a tale worthy to be told?

The Master (shakily): you know, Vegg, I can still hear the screams sometimes. A billion voices calling out through a billion minds. It echoes and echoes and echoes and echoes through time and lifetimes, so many lifetimes, tangled up inside every head I've ever had--all a part of their grand design, of course.

The Master: and that's the best part, isn't it? They do all of this, but somehow, I'm the monster!

He laughs.

Vegg: but... the War!

The Master: Nothing to tell.

Vegg: were you not there?

The Master: sometimes--once, in a very long while, running actually is my thing.
