Rose Tyler Mark II (New Earth)

"Billie's hair was shorter in Series Two and Louise [Page] was keen for this to affect the types of clothes Rose would wear. She looked more mature with the short hair, so the clothes needed to reflect that."

"In New Earth, because Cassandra was going in and out of her body, she had an opportunity to be a bit more shapely, and Billie had a Wonderbra on underneath and a top she could unbutton to put the perfume bottle down her cleavage. We then decided that we'd get trousers that were much leaner for her, they were much more flattering on her, and she felt much better being in those black trousers - it immediately gave her a more sophisticated look. She had high-heeled boots on but I gave her lifts, which gave her about three extra inches in total." -- costume designer Louise Page on Rose's look for New Earth, from Gary Russell's Doctor Who: The Inside Story.

A selection of shots from details from Hôtel Solvay, a masterpiece by Victor Horta, a native from Ghent, who build the very first art nouveau style buildings.

This building could achieve the goal of Gesammtkunstwerk aided by the unlimited funds that were provided without compromises, a steel structure adorned with precious materials, an inventive ventilation system and it was the first house in Brussels to be completely illuminated by incandescent bulbs.

In 1894, Armand Solvay, son of chemist-industrialist Ernest Solvay, asked Victor Horta to design a house for him and his family. In the years that followed, the architect was given absolute financial freedom, which can be seen in the creative execution and the materials used. Everything in this stately mansion, down to the smallest detail, bears Horta’s stamp. In the 1950s, the Wittamer family established their haute couture workshop in the building and saved it from demolition and decay. And how! Their great care and the restorations they carried out helped the Solvay House to be inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2000. As one of Horta’s most remarkable creations, this work of art is well worth a visit!
