0:00:00 > 0:00:01'The Daleks.'
0:00:01 > 0:00:03Exterminate!
0:00:03 > 0:00:05'Appearing in over 100 episodes,
0:00:05 > 0:00:10'it's no surprise they managed to blast their way into this series.'
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Cut.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16'Well, we experienced this horrific invasion first-hand during filming.'
0:00:16 > 0:00:19MAN: I...am...a...Dalek!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21'So, I suggest you take a deep breath...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23'We're going to take you with us.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30'Filming for this episode started way back in late January 2014.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33'It was to be in a cold aeroplane hangar near Cardiff
0:00:33 > 0:00:37'that the Doctor's oldest foe would be wheeled back onto set.'
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Cut!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Exterminate!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43'Six months after writing the episode
0:00:43 > 0:00:45'Phil Ford was excited to be here for the big day.'
0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Hello! - Hello.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Well, fancy meeting you here. PHIL LAUGHS
0:00:49 > 0:00:51'So, Phil, what's happening here today?'
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Well, we're filming the attack of the Daleks
0:00:54 > 0:00:56on the spaceship, Aristotle.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00It's the last line of defence, which is falling to the Daleks.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03'And this is the first time we've seen the Doctor
0:01:03 > 0:01:06'wandering around the insides of a Dalek.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:07NEW SPEAKER: Going inside a Dalek,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I mean, I don't think anyone's ever had that idea before.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14It's quite difficult to come up with new ideas about the Daleks.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17I'm inside a Dalek!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Yeah, this is a really nice little concept, actually.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23'Well done, Phil Ford, I say...'
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Actually, it was Steven's idea! - 'OK, well done, Steven!'
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Many years ago, we were discussing computer games for Doctor Who.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32They were asking me, "Have you got any ideas?"
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I said, "Why not get miniaturised and go inside a Dalek?"
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And they all looked very happy, and I said,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40"Nah, nah, nah, stop, stop. I'm having that for an episode.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41"You're not getting that one".
0:01:41 > 0:01:43PHIL FORD: Steven had said, "Do you want to do it?"
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And I just leapt at it straightaway.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Every writer that does Doctor Who wants to do a Dalek story
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and I just feel really lucky to be doing this one.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55'And as much as Phil enjoyed writing for the Daleks,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58'Peter has relished the opportunity to come face-to-face with one.'
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I wasn't actually supposed to be filming until after lunch,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04but I came along this morning because I knew there was this
0:02:04 > 0:02:08classic Doctor Who scene of, "That door will never hold..."
0:02:09 > 0:02:15..as the Daleks, we know, are behind it and are boarding this spaceship
0:02:15 > 0:02:17that they've been hunting. MAN SHOUTS
0:02:18 > 0:02:21'Yes, with the Doctor's most feared enemy on set,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23'it's guaranteed to get a little messy.'
0:02:24 > 0:02:28We've just had lost of explosions, and thrown up lots of fragments
0:02:28 > 0:02:32of former human beings and turned them into clouds of dust.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's been fabulous. MAN SHOUTS "EXTERMINATE!"
0:02:37 > 0:02:39So, the question now is - where are the crew?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43'Time to find out how the crew got on filming inside a Dalek.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47'We caught up with our locations manager,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49'who had to check out the best places to film.'
0:02:49 > 0:02:53They had to shrink me first of all, which was an amazing experience.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I did ask the boys if there was any chance of making me
0:02:56 > 0:02:59a little bit taller, but they couldn't do that unfortunately.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01'What did our guest cast think about having to be
0:03:01 > 0:03:03'shrunk down to film this episode?'
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Pretty amazing. - I'm going to try and climb into
0:03:07 > 0:03:08a custard cream later.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Mmm... - Mmm.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12'They may have been miniaturised
0:03:12 > 0:03:15'but they were both absolutely thrilled to be on Doctor Who.'
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Aah!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It's so exciting, but at the same time, it's quite scary as well.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- You don't know where it goes! - Yes, I do. Away from here!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25It's amazing. Like, our costumes are wicked, aren't they?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- ZAWE: Many gadgets on us as well. - LAURA: It's quite good fun.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Wearing your stuff!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33This is probably the coolest job I've had, I think.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Very cool.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40'And the excitement didn't stop there. Zawe also got up on wires.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42'Don't look worried, Zawe, it was Jenna's first time too.'
0:03:42 > 0:03:43ALL: Whoo!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45..Suspended quite high and then we had all
0:03:45 > 0:03:48the wind machines blasting on us and just had to be really close,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52clinging onto this little prop as if we were flying up a carbonite rope.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Action!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Yeah, it was good. I kinda... I just wanted to go higher.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57'And with all the excitement on set
0:03:57 > 0:03:59'sometimes our cast can get a little carried away.'
0:03:59 > 0:04:03We broke the tiny prop that was supposed to...
0:04:03 > 0:04:05supposed to be supporting the two of us.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07(So I think that might be a little bit of CGI!)
0:04:07 > 0:04:09MAN: This is what's left of the prop, look.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11This prop hasn't been our friend for quite some...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Let's imagine it's there.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16'Jenna was also impressed with some of the clever camera techniques
0:04:16 > 0:04:19'that the director used during filming.'
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Yeah, we had loads of tricks.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23All of the climbing scenes that we had actually
0:04:23 > 0:04:25were just on the floor, crawling like a baby on all fours.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Straining, as if we'd been climbing a mountain.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31'Well, if scaling a Dalek's innards isn't tricky enough,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34'Clara's love life is also about to get a bit more complicated too.'
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So there's a new man in Clara's life.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's Danny Pink, who is another teacher who she meets at the school.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41He is a guy with a past.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46He's a man who needs healing. He's a man who maybe needs a doctor.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49So, all the questions are on page 32, except the last one,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52and then everything on page 33.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Any questions?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56'Just one question - what can you tell us about Danny Pink?'
0:04:56 > 0:05:01My character is an ex-soldier who has become a schoolteacher.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Mathematics.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05'OK, be honest, are you any good at maths?'
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I was all right at it. I was OK. I was terrible at fractions.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I think I passed at GCSE level, though.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12'But it seems like this part is taking its toll
0:05:12 > 0:05:14'on our newest cast member.'
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Thank you! HE SIGHS
0:05:16 > 0:05:19I've been hitting my head on the table.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I've got an ice pack for this lump.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I don't know if you can see the lump?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26But for the love of the art, I went all the way in.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28CREW MEMBER: Ha-ha-hah!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30PRODUCTION TEAM LAUGH
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Yeah, we tried a little packet of tissue.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34I had a feeling as well, actually,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37cos after the make-up went on it's a bit sticky.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So that didn't really work, we had to revise that plan.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42'It's not going so well for poor Danny -
0:05:42 > 0:05:45'I wonder how Clara is dealing with this budding relationship?'
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Is the wooden sound you or the desk?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh, my goodness!
0:05:49 > 0:05:53The most awkward start to any kind of relationship possible.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- How long have you been there? - Longer than you would like.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59JENNA: Danny and Clara take a while to get it together.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00They just have hilarious dialogue
0:06:00 > 0:06:02that actually is quite painful to speak
0:06:02 > 0:06:05because it's just so awkward between the two of them
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and totally uncool, it is. SHE LAUGHS
0:06:08 > 0:06:11'Yes, it wasn't just Clara who got a bit tongue-tied.'
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Yeah, my character's useless with the women.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15MAN: Watch yourself round him. Bit of a lady-killer.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16SAMUEL: 'He isn't.'
0:06:16 > 0:06:20He's kind of the "two-left-footer" of the womaniser world.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23'So was it love at first sight for Danny then?'
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Oh, she's beautiful. He was like that... Yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I don't know about love. He doesn't really know her yet.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31He's the romantic type. He has to get to know them first.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34'So, Samuel, are you anything like your character?'
0:06:34 > 0:06:35No!
0:06:36 > 0:06:37No.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41'Will this relationship blossom? Will they go out for that drink?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43'Will they kiss? Better ask the writer.'
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Kiss? Who says they're going to have a kiss? I don't know.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48You'll just have to wait and see.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51'What a spoilsport!' PHIL LAUGHS
0:06:51 > 0:06:54'Anyway, Daleks have been terrifying children for over five decades
0:06:54 > 0:06:56'and no matter who you are,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00'you'll never forget the first time you encountered a Dalek.'
0:07:00 > 0:07:03My first memory of a Dalek is a Dalek toy that I had.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06You know, images of the Daleks coming over the bridge in London.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10The Genesis Of The Daleks has got to be my favourite Dalek story.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12'And Peter still remembers
0:07:12 > 0:07:16'when they first appeared on our TV screens, back in 1963.'
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I lived through the whole Dalek craze.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I had a little toy Dalek and it was fabulous,
0:07:21 > 0:07:22and I remember coming down one day
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and finding the poster for the movie - Dr Who And The Daleks -
0:07:25 > 0:07:29and just loving seeing the shape of those Daleks.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31A classic piece of '60s design.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33'Yes, with such a striking appearance,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36'it's no surprise that they've endured for such a long time,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38'but not all Daleks are the same.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43'The Daleks first hit our television screens back in 1963
0:07:43 > 0:07:44'during a visit to Skaro,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48'but it wasn't long before we saw a few minor modifications.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51'By 1964, they had these little discs on their back.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55'This helped with their mobility, allowing them to travel underwater
0:07:55 > 0:07:57'and through the River Thames.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59'The familiar gauze slats around their midsection
0:07:59 > 0:08:02first appeared in 1965.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05'And aside from some minor tweaks, this look remained unchanged
0:08:05 > 0:08:10'throughout the eras of the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Doctors.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13'Then, when the Doctor encountered his old enemies on Necros,
0:08:13 > 0:08:18'he found himself up against the visually striking Imperial Daleks.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22'But when the Daleks returned in 2005, the Doctor was in for a shock.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24'These new Daleks were more versatile, better protected
0:08:24 > 0:08:26'and could even fly through the air.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29'Later, when a colourful new range of Daleks were born,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32'the Doctor quickly ended their reign aided with the use of a biscuit.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34'But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38'Over the years, we've had a stone Dalek,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41'a Special Weapons Dalek, the Dalek Emperor, a glass Dalek,
0:08:41 > 0:08:45'and perhaps most terrifying of all, a human-Dalek hybrid.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49'Well, no matter what type of Dalek you come face to face with,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51'it's sure to be a petrifying experience.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54'So let's find out how Peter got on working alongside these
0:08:54 > 0:08:56'cold-blooded creatures for the first time.'
0:08:56 > 0:08:58PETER: Tougher than I had imagined.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Are...you...my...Doctor?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03All things on Doctor Who are tougher than you imagine
0:09:03 > 0:09:04'because you've been a child
0:09:04 > 0:09:07'and you've probably played at being Doctor Who and stuff,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08'that you can do it all.'
0:09:08 > 0:09:10How would I do that?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13As an actor, you're so used to people's eyes and responding
0:09:13 > 0:09:15to their body language,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18but with a Dalek, it's...a prop.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20You have to work, sort of, doubly hard.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22'Someone working hard to bring them to life on set
0:09:22 > 0:09:25'is the man behind the distinctive Dalek voice.'
0:09:25 > 0:09:26DALEK: Doctor!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Normally, when I'm doing a Dalek voice,
0:09:28 > 0:09:29there are Daleks around on set,
0:09:29 > 0:09:34but this time, it's just people clambering around sort of, inside me.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36That's a bit weird!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I did think there was a possibility I could do,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41when the Dalek's good, to make him sound all good and nice.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Rusty, talk to me.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45NICHOLAS AS DALEK: The malfunction...is...corrected.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I think that would be a bit twee and cute -
0:09:48 > 0:09:50SOFTLY: "Destroy all the Daleks."
0:09:50 > 0:09:52There is a slight softness
0:09:52 > 0:09:54and a little bit of more human characterisation,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56but only a tiny bit.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59DALEK: All systems... are...functioning.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04He's conflicted a lot. Rigid sort of brittle performance with that way,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06you feel he might go one way or the other.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Weapons charged!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12'So then, Nick, do you think Daleks can ever be good?'
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Anything's possible. Something weird could happen.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17There could be an alternative dimension.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22The Daleks will be victorious. The rebels will be exterminated!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24'I think it's unlikely.'
0:10:24 > 0:10:27They've got "exterminate" written all the way through them
0:10:27 > 0:10:29like a stick of rock. HE CHUCKLES
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Rusty...?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34'Well, the Doctor didn't manage to find any good Daleks after all.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38'The Daleks still remain one of the most feared villains
0:10:38 > 0:10:39'in the universe.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41'And you're guaranteed that this won't be the last time
0:10:41 > 0:10:44'we bump into this fearsome adversary.'
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Exterminate!
