Doctor Who - Partners in Crime + Excerpts from the script by Russell T. Davies

For the scene where the Doctor and Donna are reunited on either side of soundproof glass and thus have to mime their conversation, the script gave the lines Russell wanted Donna to act out, but he suggested Catherine Tate come up with the motions herself on the day of the shoot, so Catherine improvised her famous mime while filming.

I loved how David was on the radio 2 breakfast show this morning to promote Doctor Who and the first question from the listeners was from a bloke who then added my wife and daughter love you in Good Omens!!

Hurray for the GO fandom crashing every party.

I feel like Russell T Davis just keeps looking at David Tennant as the Doctor and thinking "that guy just needs a rest."

[twinge-of-cosmicangst]

Is the fact that the Doctor ‘couldn’t remember the toymaker and it’s coming back to him’ a little joke about those episodes practically being infernoed out of canon? If so lmao.

Also I think the doctor who animation department is on a hiatus at the moment? but surely after this they’ll have to release the celestial toy maker episodes somehow, surely now doctor who has some Disney money to spend on new episodes the bbc should have a bit of spare money to do some more animations.

in the confidential for New Earth, RTD said to play the cassandra!rose kissing scene as if both of them wanting it as characters. Like Ten and Rose wanting to kiss each other….going insane

the fact that ncuti gatwa and millie gibson pulled up to their first ever readthrough for one of the most iconic and long-running shows of all time only to find out that they would be performing a musical number to a group of cardboard-cutout goblins about eating a baby. their faces are fucking priceless. best bts footage to come out of unleashed so far. classic

Bigeneration eh?

Reminds me of Madame Tracy and Aziraphale

What if DW14 had a nasty accident while on gardening leave and bigenerated into Aziraphale? I know, I know, why would that happen? Just for fun! Does Good Omens exist in the DW universe? Is David Tennant The Doctor in the Good Omens universe? Did Aziraphale go and see DT's Hamlet? I think I might drive myself a bit mad thinking about this today. There's certainly scope for a Comic Relief sketch there somewhere.

They're sticking with Mavity.

Screaming.

[twinge-of-cosmicangst]

I wonder if they had no choice but to cut Wilfred out of the episodes because they didn’t get enough footage of Bernard Cribbins before he died 💔 or if they did get all his scenes or at least enough to make it make sense but they’re keeping him out of the trailer to have more of a emotional impact when the episodes air, if it’s the latter I’m not sure how I feel about it…?

[burntlikethesun]

hilarious.

you ever learn something you wish you didn't? I, for example, just learned that between 2008 and 2015 not a single episode of Doctor Who aired that was written by a woman. Between The Sontaran Stratagem, a story with David Tennant as the Doctor, and The Woman Who Lived, a Peter Capaldi story, not a single episode was written by a woman.

Thinking about how meetings between RTD and Disney went.

The Mouse: We’re willing to put Disney Money™️ into your show now. How do you want to use this budget? Epic battles? Marvel-level abuse of green screen technology?

RTD: I was thinking an elaborate goblin musical number

The Mouse: …

RTD: They sing about eating babies.
