Out of Time Doctor Who Confidential

It's the series finale

and the Doctor Who crew are out on location.

And...action!

It's a big day for everyone involved, and for Amy Pond perhaps her biggest yet.

Today we're in a place called Miskin Manor, just north of Cardiff.

Do you know, when I first put on the wedding dress

I found it very bizarre because, you know,

it's kind of quite a major thing in a woman's life

and so that was quite weird putting it on.

You know, it's meant to be mine and Amy's wedding.

I don't really know anyone there!

So it's like kind of gate-crashing someone else's wedding

and sitting on the top table, so that's a bit strange.

But, yeah, it's a lot of fun in there.

No real alcohol is being drunk though,

because we're very professional.

OK.

-Wedding time.

-Argh!

-Yeah!

-OK. Here we go then.

-212, take 1A, camera mark.

Pour... You can pour some of the fizzy water, don't be shy.

Here we go, then. And, action!

There may be loads of people at the wedding,

but it's still short of one guest.

Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen...

The one thing that, you know, doesn't exist

when the universe comes back is the Doctor

because he was at the heart of the explosion.

The Doctor saves himself

by being the devious old man that he always is.

He plants a memory in Amy's mind.

You'll dream about that box.

It'll never leave you.

Big and little at the same time.

Brand new and ancient and the bluest blue ever.

And he knows, in his devious, clever way,

that one sentence she's going to here on that important day is...

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,

and of course that is the TARDIS. It's old, it's borrowed,

it's new and it's blue.

It's a present.

But why?

Well, you know the old saying...

The old...

wedding thing, huh?

Amy.

'It's the story of how Amy is changed by the Doctor.'

Ready now!

'She's the little girl who believes that men can fall from the sky,

'eat fish custard and fix everything.

'And she's the girl that grows up to believe you should never believe in that kind of thing.'

They're liars and don't turn up when they say they will.

'And the rest of the story is the Doctor trying to make her the girl he first met again.

'The girl who's capable of believing in a mad man from the sky

'who likes fish fingers and custard, and he does.'

By the end, she's capable of standing up at that wedding

and actually believing all of that was real,

I remember! I brought the others back, I can bring you home too!

Raggedy man, I remember you and you are late for my wedding!

Amy, what is it?

Something old, something new,

something borrowed...

something blue.

'He puts her back, in a way, to the heart and the spirit and the soul of the girl he first met.'

OK, Doctor. Did I surprise you this time?

Ah, yeah. Completely astonished.

But he's so damaged by just being that little tad late.

Right then, everyone. I'll move my box, you're going to need the space.

I only came for the dancing.
