0:00:02 > 0:00:05The TARDIS team is stuck in a dream dilemma,

0:00:05 > 0:00:09and the Dream Lord's deception will drag the Doctor down to Earth with a bump.

0:00:09 > 0:00:10Are you pregnant?

0:00:10 > 0:00:15Arthur Darvill guides Confidential through the reality behind the fantasy.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17It's the Doctor's fantasy versus Rory's fantasy.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20As Rory turns father-to-be,

0:00:20 > 0:00:21action hero...

0:00:21 > 0:00:22Waa!

0:00:22 > 0:00:24..and '70s rock god.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26HE MOUTHS

0:00:26 > 0:00:28- It's been such a fast episode. - Action!

0:00:28 > 0:00:30- So much happens in it.- Agh!

0:00:30 > 0:00:34So join Confidential as Arthur takes us through the filming process

0:00:34 > 0:00:36from beginning...to end.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Ah! Ah!

0:00:38 > 0:00:43I'm going to show you around a bit and kind of show you how we made it.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11It's day one of the production block and in the studios in Cardiff,

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Arthur has the latest script hot off the press

0:01:13 > 0:01:16to prepare for the cast and crew read-through.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21We received the final script of this today.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25And we've got the read-through this afternoon.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27And then we start filming it tomorrow.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30I'm quite looking forward to this one cos it's a really funny script.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32And I've only just read it,

0:01:32 > 0:01:34so, you know, there's only so much you can prepare.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36But it's good to hear the whole story

0:01:36 > 0:01:38and good to hear people's first impressions,

0:01:38 > 0:01:40it really is a first impression.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42And sometimes you really go for it.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46I think the thing that blew us away about Arthur was -

0:01:46 > 0:01:49and we saw a lot of good people for the part of Rory -

0:01:49 > 0:01:51was just how funny he was.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Arthur has that perfect... He always finds a perfect moment for a gag.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58You just summoned aliens back to Earth!

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Actual aliens.

0:01:59 > 0:02:00Deadly aliens.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05Aliens of death. And now you're taking your clothes off.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08He found a space next to our two leads,

0:02:08 > 0:02:10who already seemed rather complete.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12But he actually, once he comes in,

0:02:12 > 0:02:15it's quite hard to imagine the show without him,

0:02:15 > 0:02:18which is a tremendous tribute to Arthur's brilliance.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19- Hi.- Hello.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Oh, you're a doctor!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Oh, yeah. And, unlike you, I've passed some exams.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27A doctor, not a nurse, just like you always dreamed.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31I think the three of us get on really well in,

0:02:31 > 0:02:33you know, in real life,

0:02:33 > 0:02:38which makes it, you know, far easier to get on with working,

0:02:38 > 0:02:40you know, at work.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42It's the first day on location

0:02:42 > 0:02:47and the TARDIS trio are getting the final touches to their bump,

0:02:47 > 0:02:48- quiff... - HE MOUTHS

0:02:48 > 0:02:50..and um...

0:02:50 > 0:02:52rat-tail.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55(Status Quo!)

0:02:55 > 0:02:58MUSIC: "Whatever You Want" by Status Quo

0:03:10 > 0:03:13I think it was called like a Britney wig, or something, at first.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17So, yeah, I look pretty... pretty good.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Then Babs, the make-up designer for this did an amazing job cutting it

0:03:20 > 0:03:24to make it look a bit more masculine...a bit more masculine,

0:03:24 > 0:03:26and then put it back in a ponytail.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Everyone basically has just told me how cool I look with it.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34There have been no negative comments so far.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36It was hideous, I think it's safe to say.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38But it was really funny.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41It made Arthur look really different.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44I find him quite scary to look at, actually.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47And I hope he doesn't get any ideas

0:03:47 > 0:03:50and decides to grow his hair like that.

0:03:50 > 0:03:55And in this episode, it wasn't just Arthur's hair which gained some extra body.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Hello and welcome to a new segment of Doctor Who Confidential

0:03:58 > 0:04:00called Arthur Chews The Fat.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03I will be chatting to the good and the great on Doctor Who

0:04:03 > 0:04:06and literally today I will be chewing the fat

0:04:06 > 0:04:08with Karen Gillan.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09- SHE LAUGHS - Hello!

0:04:09 > 0:04:10- Hi, Kazzer.- Hi.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Um, a few quick questions for you today.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- What do you mean, literally chewing the fat?- Nothing.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20OK. Fire away!

0:04:20 > 0:04:22So, how is it, being massive?

0:04:22 > 0:04:26It's fantastic. I'd like to introduce you to my...

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- ..our, in fact...- Yeah. - ..unborn child.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- What is it actually made of? - I don't know.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Ray, what is this, what's inside the bump?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39It's a latex prosthetic bump.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- OK.- So it's completely latex. - Ray Holman, costume.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- That's why we have a little belly button.- Belly button.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47See. Woo!

0:04:47 > 0:04:50No stuffing. So it's slightly heavy as well.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54And I have massive breasts made of lentils.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56That's lovely.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I developed a bump dance,

0:04:58 > 0:05:02which is basically kind of moving it around and shaking it

0:05:02 > 0:05:03and it just looked really weird.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Go on, go on!

0:05:05 > 0:05:06Show them the belly dance!

0:05:17 > 0:05:21We're in Skenfrith village, it's an amazing little village.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23I haven't actually seen anyone who lives here.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I think they've all run away for the day.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28First thing we're doing today

0:05:28 > 0:05:33is just before we see the children turn to dust,

0:05:33 > 0:05:34then we've got a massive...

0:05:34 > 0:05:36It's a five- or six-page scene with the Dream Lord

0:05:36 > 0:05:39in the village, which will take up most of the day.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Course you don't.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47Course I do. No idea how you can be here, but there's only one person

0:05:47 > 0:05:49in the universe who hates me as much as you do.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54Never mind me. Maybe you should worry about them.

0:05:55 > 0:06:00So many of the monsters in Doctor Who are kind of computer-generated

0:06:00 > 0:06:03and to have a whole bunch of people

0:06:03 > 0:06:07with Zimmer frames and walking sticks with their mouths open was pretty...

0:06:07 > 0:06:10I mean, it was hilarious. But it was quite scary.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14# They say I might as well face the truth

0:06:14 > 0:06:17# That I am just too long in the tooth

0:06:17 > 0:06:20# I started to deteriorate

0:06:20 > 0:06:24# And now I'm past my own sell-by date... #

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Now we get a terrible insight into the mind of Simon Nye, don't we?

0:06:30 > 0:06:34I asked him to come up with a Doctor Who monster and he thought, "Old people!"

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Well done, Simon, you strange man. I think it's a brilliant idea!

0:06:38 > 0:06:41# So I'm a wrinkly crinkly But don't shed a tear

0:06:41 > 0:06:45# I'm not exactly a little old dear

0:06:45 > 0:06:48# One thing's for sure I'm still bloody well here

0:06:48 > 0:06:51# One foot in the grave

0:06:52 > 0:06:55# One foot in the grave

0:06:55 > 0:06:59# One foot in the grave. #

0:06:59 > 0:07:02It looks like I've got it in for old people.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I just think there is something scary,

0:07:04 > 0:07:06especially if you're young, about old people.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09I'm heading that way myself, as we all are, hopefully, one day,

0:07:09 > 0:07:12but I think we can all remember, as a child particularly,

0:07:12 > 0:07:17lovely aunts and grandparents just looking a bit scary.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Hello! We were wondering where you went.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22To get reinforcements, by the look of it.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Are you all right? You look a bit tense.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28And it's partly to do with the teeth, perhaps,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31which is why the Eknodines in this episode,

0:07:31 > 0:07:33who invaded these poor people's bodies,

0:07:33 > 0:07:36they emerge from their mouths.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38There is an eye in her mouth!

0:07:38 > 0:07:42There's a whole creature inside her, inside all of them, living and waiting.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44WHIRRING

0:07:44 > 0:07:47I hope I don't put children off their grandparents

0:07:47 > 0:07:50because, obviously, we should be learning from the elderly

0:07:50 > 0:07:53rather than mocking them or making them look scary.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55But, um, that's what we're doing in this episode.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59The next day, the Who crew head off into the country

0:07:59 > 0:08:01for Rory's dream house.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Release the geese!

0:08:10 > 0:08:12So I'm about to hit an old woman with a stick...

0:08:13 > 0:08:16..which isn't something I've done before.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21I'm quite looking forward to it. I forgot we were doing this today!

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Yeah...

0:08:24 > 0:08:25It's a big stick as well.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Little old lady.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32And obviously, just pull it and she'll just squat out of shot.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Believe it or not, it's not a real piece of wood.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's made of something else.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40So, er...

0:08:41 > 0:08:43..so it's softer, but it looks like a piece of wood.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46So...that's a bit of inside information.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Mrs Hammill... we don't understand.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51SCREECHING

0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'll deal with this one, chubs...

0:08:56 > 0:09:00'We only have one piece of wood and I broke it quite early on.'

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- I can't hit her.- Whack her!

0:09:11 > 0:09:14We got the shots, thank God, but...

0:09:15 > 0:09:17..I-I just broke it.

0:09:18 > 0:09:19I'll deal with this, chubs...

0:09:19 > 0:09:24'Obviously, Audrey is there and it looks like...

0:09:24 > 0:09:26'I hit her with a big piece of wood...'

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- I can't hit her.- Whack her!

0:09:29 > 0:09:32- HE GROANS - 'The way they shoot it is really clever.'

0:09:32 > 0:09:35When she's facing the camera, you kind of go to hit,

0:09:35 > 0:09:38but you don't actually touch. And then they cut to a shot from...

0:09:38 > 0:09:42behind her, which is actually a stunt woman who I was allowed to hit.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- I really hit her with it?- Yes.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48I wasn't quite sure if I...

0:09:48 > 0:09:51if I hit hard enough, if it looked real enough.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54But I watched it back and I think it does.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58They'll cut it together and put a big sound effect on it so I'm sure it'll be...

0:09:58 > 0:10:01It's very weird just hitting someone with a stick.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07I can't hit her!

0:10:07 > 0:10:09SHE TUTS Whack her!

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I think we've only got a couple more days left on this episode...

0:10:20 > 0:10:22..which is a bit weird.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26It's kind of coming to the end.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30But, yeah, it's going... It's funny, I went through the script...

0:10:30 > 0:10:34last night again, and I haven't even shot most of it.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37And it's like, "Oh, wow." It's gone really fast.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Quiet, please.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43And Arthur's last adventure is to film Rory Williams's long goodbye.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45- Action! - GASPING

0:10:45 > 0:10:48The death scene was really weird because it was so quick.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50It happens so out of the blue.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51SCREAMING

0:10:54 > 0:10:56HE SCREAMS Rory!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59'It's horrible because Rory, at that point knows'

0:10:59 > 0:11:00it's his reality.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02No! I'm not ready!

0:11:02 > 0:11:07'It's like everything he ever wanted is just completely being denied.'

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Look after our baby.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18'I think in that moment, Amy realises her feelings towards him.'

0:11:18 > 0:11:19No...

0:11:21 > 0:11:22Come back.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's just tragic it takes something like that for her to realise.

0:11:25 > 0:11:31'It is to her own shock, absolutely clear to the moment she loses Rory,

0:11:31 > 0:11:32'that she could not bear'

0:11:32 > 0:11:35to be without him. And that is proper shock.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38It's not the Doctor, it's never been the Doctor, it's about Rory.

0:11:38 > 0:11:43I think Amy surprises herself by realising that it's great to have

0:11:43 > 0:11:47an enigmatic genius to run around after

0:11:47 > 0:11:49and be with, but in the end,

0:11:49 > 0:11:53that's perhaps not enough. I think she realises that...

0:11:53 > 0:11:55she really does love Rory.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57This is the dream.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58How do you know?

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Because if this is real life, I don't want it.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03I don't want it.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Massive turn in their relationship,

0:12:07 > 0:12:12you know, when Rory dies. Maybe he realises exactly what she wants.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14OK.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Killing herself in a dream where she doesn't know if she's going to wake up,

0:12:20 > 0:12:22but the thought of living without him is...

0:12:22 > 0:12:24not worth considering.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26'It's amazing.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27'It really cements...

0:12:27 > 0:12:29'their relationship...'

0:12:29 > 0:12:33at that point. And it makes Rory so happy.

0:12:36 > 0:12:37Oh, wahey!

0:12:42 > 0:12:45From now on, trust nothing you see, hear or feel.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24This is good.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35So...?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Well, then?

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Where now?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41I don't know. Anywhere is good for me.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44I'm happy anywhere.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46It's up to Amy this time.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48Amy's choice.
