The new season of Doctor Who is about to hit our screens.
With new adventures, new characters and most notably,
a new Doctor.
So, join actor Jodie Whittaker as she guides us through her journey
of becoming, the Doctor.
This journey started for me,
I was having a coffee with Chris Chibnall.
She was quizing me about Doctor Who and she was going,
'Oh, maybe I could be a villian. Maybe I could be a villian in it!'
I was like, yeah, you could...
Or you could think about applying to be the Doctor?
We chatted and he said 'I'd love you to audition, but it will be an audition process, and it will be hard.'
So I was like, ok great!
She literally blew our socks off.
I mean, in the first audition, and it was because she is such a great actor,
she just brought this energy to the part.
Chris just said 'You're our thirteenth Doctor',
and so I burst into tears. Played it really cool, and then I cried.
After weeks of keeping the casting a top level secret,
it was finally time to reveal the new Doctors identity to the public.
And on July 16, 2017, Jodie Whittaker was announced to the world.
So the reveal video was interesting because we had to shoot that, obviously, with no one knowing.
The director didn't know it was me either.
Honestly, the truth is I did not know who the Doctor was.
Chris and Matt the two execs said to me,
if you want to find out who the new Doctor is go and knock on room, 302, or whatever it was.
and I jumped out and went,
Hello!
and he was like 'Oh, hiya, hiya!'
if he was poker-facing, I couldn't tell!
I really did keep it a secret from a lot of people.
My family found out when my hood went down.
Tosin Cole
I do my own stunts
Three,
Two,
One
The day I was filming
the bike scene
was really cool for me.
Go!
Go on!
I do my own stunts
I'm trying to make it realistic as possible
you know, trying to give
the audience an experience
Jamie had the stunt guy in
He was doing his thing
I was like, you know what
I'm not really feeling the way he's dropping.
If you want to get something right, do it yourself.
Made of steel, I am.
Man of steel, man of steel.
Those push-ups, you know.
They go a long way, you know.
Listen, you might as well call me Hercules that day
because I was on something different.
I was on something godly that day.
Hercules! Hercules!
Thank you very much
You said it not me
Hi, us again
Shown in over 280 territories across the world
Doctor Who is one of the UK's most popular television exports
To continue its success at home and abroad
Chris Chibnall was asked to take on the role
of show runner for the new season
and bring his vision for Doctor Who to life.
The direction that he's taking it is still loyal to the world that it's in.
He knows the genre back to front, he knows
everything there is to know about it
His imagination
Imagine what goes on in that to create these stories
I had a real sense of where it could go next
and what was interesting for me in it,
what stories we could tell.
So, it felt like a really great time to take it over
Welcome to Regenerating Doctor Who
The plan for the new season of Doctor Who
was really with a new Doctor,
you've got a new beginning,
a new opportunity for people to join the show as viewers
It's a great time to remind people
of how amazing Doctor Who is
Now!
So Chris had a vision and we definitely spoke about it
but he also is very good at keeping his secrets
and I think that's the wonderful thing
he keeps it exciting so he'll tell you
enough for you to be able to do your work
and to bring what you need but also he keeps
all these little hidden gems for us to discover on the day.
I'm the Doctor
He's very clear that he wants people to have
their own creative investment in the work.
He wants to make the show new, you know
That's the whole point, a new epic. He kind of wants to bring everything for everyone
That's ticking all the boxes so yeah, just doing that
and just making sure that the show feels like a new show.
The introduction of a new Doctor for the new
season of Doctor Who created the opportunity to
change the dynamic of the whole show
and Chris Chibnall and his team began
the challenge of casting the role.
Ah, brilliant!
Casting a new actor brings in a whole new
opportunity to just think about where the show is,
think about where the world is,
think about where you might want the show to go.
Obviously, this is very much Chris' idea of who
he wanted his Doctor to be
and it was more than a regeneration it was almost a rebirth in a way.
Following a series of secret auditions
actor Jodie Whittaker was chosen to step on board
the TARDIS and help steer the show in a new direction.
She's an adventurer, and that was the word we
used a lot right from the start, once we'd cast Jodie
It's like, she's a great leader, she's a great
force of nature, she's a great person.
But she brings so much of herself to the Doctor
I'm the Doctor
But as much as anything, you want the Doctor
to be somebody you want to spend time with
and somebody who, if they appear in the doors
of a blue box in your front garden going
"Come with me"
you're absolutely going to take that hand
and go on an adventure.
I'm really excited about people seeing the series.
I'm really terrified as you are when you make anything
and none of us take for granted the responsibility
of making Doctor Who and how much people love it.
I think this new series is brave, it's forward-thinking
He wants it to be thrilling,
he wants it to be exciting
It is a romp. So you've got all the classic things
that you would expect from Doctor Who
Every episode is a contained story
You could watch each one as like a little film and I love that.
If you've seen Doctor Who before,
I hope we're going to be giving you all the stuff
you love, if you've never seen it before
this is the place to start and I think
you're in for a rollicking ride.
These legs definitely used to be longer.
We wanted to make it as big as possible.
Maybe if you stop to think about it, it could become scary but
I just want to do it well and I want people to enjoy it. That's my main priority at the moment.
With a new Doctor, a new cast and a whole new set of adventures,
the premiere episode of the new season of Doctor Who
demanded huge ambition and a strong creative vision.
To bring this epic first episode to screens across the world,
director Jaime Childs was brought in to help lead the team.
His dynamic is to know everybody's name, to be a team player,
thank everyone when they're working hard.
He's proper cool, man. He's lovely to work with.
You just kind of have to follow his vision because, you know, this is something that
he was well-prepped for.
He's very efficient, knows what he's doing and gives you direction.
He works it out meticulously. He's looked at the set he knows what we're doing.
What he's got is a great range of tone which is what Doctor Who demands.
He's ambitious in every sense of the word.
And that raises everybody's game.
It's really exciting to be part of that, it's great in fact.
I'm sure it's going to be one of these things in my entire career that I'll look back on.
When I first talked to Jamie about what I wanted to do with the show
and what myself and Matt wanted to do with the show he got it straight away.
I was just, kind of, really honest with him about what I thought I'd like to do with it
and yeah, they were thinking exactly the same thing.
The most amazing thing about working with Jodie is how collaborative she is.
It was great because I just felt that I was on set with someone who has as big an ambition as all of us
and could elevate the script with his vision.
It's been really exciting and like, every day is kind of a new thing and you're trying to be
really playful with how you block scenes and put lots of movement into the character and things like that.
It's entertainment and it needs to be entertaining and she is willing to
bring as much of that to the table as possible.
You may tell your children that you were once privileged to encounter Tzim Sha of the Stenza.
Tim Shaw?
Tzim Sha.
Tim Shore?
Tzim Sha!
We did actually build a crane.
So all those shots are real.
Yep, way to high.
It was quite a technically challenging shoot
but a lot of the prep time went to working out physically how to do that.
This is a brand new experience for me.
I think I've done maybe two jobs before that required any stunt, or anything.
Whereas I think there's going to be something in every episode of this. It's going to be ace!
Oh my god.
It was great.
A lot of things went our way, and sometimes they don't,
but a lot of things went our way on that and Jamie directed it just brilliantly.
These legs definitely used to be longer!
I wanted it to be pure escapism for people who watch it.
The whole family could sit down together to watch it, it's got something for everybody.
We are about to make the Sonic Screwdriver.
This is going to be fun!
What I love about the Sonic Screwdriver is
it's part of the identity of that Doctor.
With Jodie's one, you know, this kind of
chaotic thing that's been forged out of madness.
That sums up her Doctor quite well.
It's essentially used from various things
that I pick up within Rahul's workshop.
We got a box of Sheffield steel
spoons and knives and stuff,
and that's what she melts down to create the body of it.
It's very different to previous incarnations of the Sonic,
because we wanted it to feel like it was forged.
It has the Sheffield steel mark from one of
the spoon handles still in it.
This is taken from the Warrior's Pod
that the warrior travels in.
That was a bit of alien tech that she uses.
This has saved us so far, many a time.
It should be fine!
Case File 1: The Stenza.
The Stenza come to Earth to hunt humans.
They've been getting away with it for years.
It's called the ritual of the Stenza.
And it's why T'zim Sha - or Tim Shaw as we called him - was in Sheffield.
Those teeth represent his conquests.
They're taken from his victims.
He travelled to the Peak District in a transport pod.
Ryan found it and called the police.
That's how I got involved.
T'zim Sha didn't travel alone though,
He brought a half organic machine to help him locate his human target, Carl.
I found myself mixed up in... Well, let's just say some 'out of the ordinary' events.
T'zim Sha was one scary bloke.
But, he's no match for The Doctor.
She offered him a chance to change, but he didn't take it.
Too bad for Tim Shaw.
I'm Jodie and I'm the Doctor
This Doctor is passionate
and hopeful and full of energy
She's funny, she's charismatic
and she brings what she
brings to the table.
I really enjoy the physicality
that she brings to the Doctor.
Although the Doctor's the alien
and the outcast in many
instances in this world,
it's an amazing character
because she's continually
striving for everyone to be
together and to work together.
Hi, us again.
I suppose that's the brilliant
thing about the show,
we may be from worlds away
but actually there are such
huge similarities that
that's why we can all connect.
Right, this is going to be fun.
The Doctor's companions are
Bradley Walsh, who plays Graham
and Tosin Cole, who plays Ryan
and Mandip Gill, who plays Yaz.
Yasmin's a police officer
in her second year of probation
I believe that she's probably wanted to be a
police officer for a long time to change things
and when you really want to be something you try
to do your job better, and you try to move up the ladder
I want to do more
Can you not get them to give me something that will test me?
Something a bit different.
She can keep her head cool in a situation that is dramatic
because of, you know, her occupation
being a police officer.
Those kind of details are really helpful.
They play in scenes that are
nothing to do with an everyday kind of police scenario
but still that kind of, the fear of death
but then also the kind of practicality of
"Right I've got to do this. I can do this."
and you know, her kind of animal instinct kicks in
Everyday is a learning day.
Parking disputes are not her thing.
Aliens are her thing.
Ryan is a sweet boy, he's a good boy, you know.
He has that very enthusiastic youthfulness about him
but sometimes it trips him up
because he'll run into a situation without thinking about it first.
Is that another alien?
Looks like it!
He loves his Nan, his Nan brought him up
so his Nan's pretty much the mother-figure in his life
and, you know, Graham's her partner, her husband
and they don't really see eye to eye.
Ryan doesn't see Graham as family yet and won't
but Graham actually is looking out for Ryan
as Graham does.
He doesn't give up
even though it's like, he might be, he might be scared
and he might be afraid of his disadvantages,
he overcomes them and he just gets right to it and he cracks on.
So, I kind of like the fact that he keeps on pushing on.
Graham is an East London, migrated-to-Sheffield
bus driver, retired.
I gotta ask you, any talk of weird stuff
or strange creatures out tonight?
He definitely is the most cautious of the three
He much prefers to stand at the back and assess the situation.
Graham's initial take on it is there aren't any aliens in Sheffield.
What are you talking about, you must be mad, have you been drinking?
I'm with him.
We don't get aliens in Sheffield.
At the beginning, he could not understand why we
would ever run towards the thing he thinks we
should all be running away from.
Don't just stand there, come on!
Now you're all running at it.
Is it wrong to be enjoying this?
Yes!
He's just a normal bloke and then he's being
teleported away somewhere to
another time and another dimension
Get your head around that, if you can
all you bus drivers.
Ryan is Graham's grandson by marriage
and Yaz went to school with Ryan
So, they're all kind of connected
and I, my only connection to them
is that I land into their city.
So the Doctor essentially is, is the outsider
to this group but is then also the kind of key
that keeps them all together
Come on Ryan, come on Yaz.
I'm calling you Yaz, because we're friends now.
The Doctor's passionate and hopeful and full of energy
She's funny, she's charismatic and you know, she just brings
what she brings to the table
I really enjoy the physicality that she brings to the Doctor
Oh my god
Although the Doctor's the alien
and you know, the outcast in many instances in this world
it's an amazing character because she's continually
striving for everyone to be together and to work together.
Hi, us again.
I suppose that's the brilliant thing about the show
is that we may be from worlds away
but actually there are such huge similarities that
that's why we can all connect as well.
Right, this is gonna be fun.
I couldn't have picked three more wonderful people
We just naturally do get on.
I think it really works, like I think the dynamics work
it just works as a team.
Their characters go on such brilliant journeys
and completely individual journeys as well
and you really get to know them
To invest in them emotionally you need to give them
kind of depth, and they certainly have that.
We're filming on a train
in South Wales.
But the train has to be authentic.
Watch this,
the Props Department
Patrick
I've nicked all the Mini Cheddars.
I've got a Mars bar.
Hey?
Stick it in your pocket
You're going to have to put some money in
the honesty box
because the guards have disappeared.
I've started something now.
I hope they don't run out of props.
Ok, so welcome to the back- lot in BBC Roath Lock Studios
in very, very sunny Wales
and we are outside possibly
the most important truck
in the universe.
This is the Assistant Director truck
so let's go inside and have a look.
Alright, so welcome to the glamorous AD truck
now this is very important
this part shows all the call sheets
and the sides for the day
so it's like our bible.
It lets us know where and when we need to be places
and also has all the lines for all the cast
so everyone knows everything about the day.
Obviously, none of this could be done without
TV's 2nd Assistant Director to the stars
Mr Delme Thomas
Hi
Ok, stop now, we're going to make-up.
So in the make-up truck it can vary
we can sometimes have 10 minutes, an hour
and it can be ordinary hair and make-up
or it can also be prosthetics.
Mandip is in make-up for hours.
Absolutely hours.
She looks horrific in the morning.
Unlike me, I'm in here for about 2 minutes.
So once everybody is happy in make-up
and everybody's got what they need
we will head right over to costume
which is conveniently just next door.
So, welcome to costume HQ.
Now here you'll find all of the costumes
from across the series
and you'll also find Ray Holman
Costume Designer
and once he's happy that all the costumes
are good to go
that's when we get all the cast ready for set
and that is where we're heading now.
So, this is our very glamorous cast green room.
This is where Jodie and Mandip
are in their natural habitat.
Now they are obviously the stars of the show
I think it's fair to say
but after watching this clip
it is very obvious that
the runners are the real stars of Doctor Who.
Can you get me a drink please?
Yep.
This is a brand new experience for me.
I think I've maybe done two jobs before that required
any kind of stunt so it's going to be ace.
Can't wait.
By the end of Episode 1 I thought
I really want something that was physical for
the new Doctor.
That actually she had a big action adventure moment
and I thought well, of course the thing you'd love to do
would be a massive scene that's at night
on top of cranes.
Chris's vision was like ridiculously bombastic.
We did actually build a full size tower crane.
Just so it didn't feel kind of fake.
You can tell a green screen shot straight away as soon as you see it.
I'm very pleased with it actually.
How are you with machinery and heights?
The great thing about Jamie is we just storyboarded it incredibly rigorously beforehand
so he did some storyboards, we sat down together,
we went through them frame by frame and shot by shot.
It was quite a technically challenging shoot
so a lot of the prep time went into just working out physically how we could do that.
We had wirework for the moments where the Doctor was jumping between the two cranes,
we had camera cranes, we had smoke and it was incredibly complex.
It was very slippy and really rainy and windy
and so it wasn't necessarily the crane that was the nerve-racking thing it was the elements as well.
Yep, way too high.
The bit that I was most nervous about, even though I was on a wire,
was jumping between the cranes.
And for most of the takes there was loads of crash mats, it was absolutely fine,
but then on the huge wide they had to take the crash mats away.
I did the jump and I was really brave but it was the climbing back -
swinging back down into first position.
I lost it and I was like 'Oh! Ahhh!' I was just really scared. I was really scared.
There's no easing in, it's just go.
You know, that's it. That's how movie making is.
You turn up on the day and you shoot and you get that one shot and if you don't do it right
you don't get another chance.
One of the main things that made me so excited about doing this job
was how different and a world away from everything I've done before.
Oh my -
- God.
Hello, you.
I think every Doctor needs their TARDIS
that connects with them and their facets
and also having our amazing new designer
Arwel Jones, absolutely he had a great plan
for a TARDIS right from our very first conversations.
This is the new, latest incarnation of the TARDIS.
Shall we just go straight to the console?
That's what everyone wants to do.
We had a little play around as usual, you know
changing things but keeping to the essence
of the six sides.
Deliberately tried to keep it as analogue
and kind of hands on as possible for Jodie
because she's quite a physical actor.
There's no keyboard as such here
it's switches, dials, twist-knobs, all manner
of things that you actually have to physically
get in there and get involved with, you know.
You've got certain things that can happen
that actually gives it life immediately you know,
so that it's not a prop man off set trying to
flick switches or anything, it actually happens
directly off the, off the console.
We wanted it to feel quite organic and quite tactile
again so it's not a very digital TARDIS, it's much
more of a, a functional, practical kind of TARDIS.
So the whole idea of the energy source for the TARDIS
and everything is, is this central crystal and the
focussing of power in this central crystal.
We came up with this pattern that was
quite easy to repeat, and looked intricate
and we wove in and out of each other
but also wanted to break it up in a fractal way.
We came across this image online of
crown shyness within trees, so when you look up
into the canopy of certain tree types, the branches
and leaves from different trees will never touch
each other, they just leave a slight gap and
it gives you this fractal pattern in the canopy.
I thought that was quite cool, so that's why
all these sections are kind of, don't touch each other
they all break apart and there's gaps.
The custard cream dispenser is totally Arwel's gift
to Jodie, because he said to her when he was
designing, when he was doing the concept of
the TARDIS he just said
'I can't tell you why but tell me your favourite biscuit'
Arwel took her on to show her her TARDIS
for the first time and to walk her around the console
and to just let her drink in that moment.
The little pièce de résistance was that at the end
of taking her around the console he said
'Put your foot on that', 'What?'
He said, 'put your foot on that'
It's like a pedal.
And out popped a little custard cream
And the look of delight on her face
It's so Doctor Who-y
and so Arwel, and so that's why I think he's just the
perfect guy to be the Production Designer on this show
I really like it
We're in the opening of Episode 2
and we're on Epzo's spacecraft.
We're about to die and you're still having a go?
You think you can do better?
Yes!
Amazingly most of what you see is one shot.
and so when we talked to the director, Mark
what Mark was really keen to do
was to get that energy and that adrenaline
and with the fluidity of the camera movements
just following this action around.
Jettisoning!
Do it!
I needed to choreograph every move and know
if I'm saying that I'm looking at that screen
and I'm doing this
so that then the acting becomes the second layer
and it's kind of easier to build from that point
I suppose it's learning your tap moves before
you can add any jazz hands.
High power failure!
We're heading into the gravity belt!
It was incredibly hard to work out.
It was a kind of a dance between the actors
and the camera team.
Everybody had to pull together and get
everything right.
It was amazing.
Case File 2: The Remnants
Scientists were tortured until the created horrors like the Remnants.
Can you imagine being forced to invent something so evil?
Our expedition across the planet Desolation was a right ordeal.
It was a dead planet. No survivors, and by the looks of it, no escape.
Facinf the sniperbots was worse than being on duty in the city centre on a friday night.
But, worst of all were the Remnants that lay in wait to ambush us.
They looked like harmless piles of rags.
Yeah right.
They definitely were not harmless.
When they awoke and surrounded us, we were terrified.
But, the Doctor had an idea which saved us all.
Let's just say smoking was really bad for the Remnants health.
Is it on now?
Brad?
What? What's that?
South Africa was amazing man.
You know, lovely weather,
great location
It was a good vibe.
Here's the boss! Look out!
This is the Doctor
Look who it is!
We basically made a pact
because we'd complained
about how cold it was here
that when we get to South Africa
no-one's allowed to complain
that it's too hot
We're meant to be reaching 37 degrees
Oh, it's boiling
Still didn't complain.
Didn't complain.
What's your name?
Jodie
Where are you from?
Huddersfield
What's your name?
Jodie
Where are you from?
Huddersfield
Cats or dogs?
Neither
Flowers or Champagne?
Flowers
Curly or straight?
Curly
Cheddar or Stilton?
Cheddar, Cheddar, Cheddar, Cheddar
I've once been mistaken for Emily Mortimer
What's your favourite motorway?
M1
That's number one!
Fact
Ooh
What's your favourite motorway?
M1
Wow
Fried or boiled?
Hmm
Charleston or tango?
Tango
Comedy or horror?
Horror
Snakes or spiders?
Spiders
This is my favourite game I've ever played.
It's really exciting
Whatever
Sunshine or snow?
Sunshine
What's your favourite motorway?
I'm not gonna commit to that answer
Ooh
M1
North or South?
I'm gonna say... Nouth
This has been Jodie Whittaker
We probably could be sisters
I think one of the big things I wanted to do
this series with Doctor Who
was to look at the historicals
and make them A: little more global
and go to different parts of the world
and also, I wanted us to look at more recent history
and to see how far we've come.
We're very grateful, Miss...
Mrs Parks, Rosa Parks
Brilliant!
I think it's challenging and I think it's brave to tackle
these issues especially for the audience
to not let them forget and also try and remember and
educate them at the same time about certain issues
That's what I was going to say, like Rosa Parks
we've all heard of Rosa Parks but a lot of people
don't know the details about the story and that
the issues are still around
you know, they weren't just
from that time, they're still happening now
and so to talk about that story, I think it's really clever
and really needed.
It's pretty tough to take on
and, you know, you really appreciate what people
have done for history and time like Rosa Parks
and Martin Luther King
It's probably one of my favourite pieces to do so far
Case File 3: Krasko
Krasko was a mass murderer from the future who turned up in 1955.
He was also a massive racist with serious anger issues.
Just my kinda guy.
He'd been released from prison and travelled back in time to change the past.
Krasko arrived in Alabama with a load of tech from the future.
One of the thing's he brought was a weapon that could displace things in time, even people
At least he couldn't directly hurt anyone sue to a neural restrictor in his brain.
He was targeting Rosa Parks, whose brave actions kick started the whole civil rights movement.
We foiled his plan though. Ryan displaced him in time.
Quite right too, seeing as his attitude belongs with the dinosaurs.
That's what you're going with?
Yep.
The costume was incredibly collaborative
and I've worked with Ray before, the Costume Designer, on Broadchurch. I've known him for years.
I'm a huge fan of his but I also have a fantastic relationship with him.
I do love working with you, because...
I'm not difficult
No, she's not at all difficult, she's very, very honest
and if she doesn't like it she'll go no and I go right, okay.
The main journey of it came from a photograph that I found
of a woman in trousers, braces and a t-shirt walking, with purpose, and I loved it
and it felt timeless, it felt intriguing and kind of open to interpretation.
And I really loved that, and it was neither male or female, which was really important to me.
The premise for the 13th Doctor's costume is that it's charity shop bought
If you were in that environment, what would be the items that jumped out
and would feel the most comfortable.
I like a long coat, I like, I just like a long coat
You were about to say you don't like something then
No, I like it all, I'm not wearing it out.
My opening moment for the character at the end of the Christmas special is that I fall through the sky
For me, I love these colours because this means space and this is the sky that I fell through
to kind of land on Earth, and then there's a whole journey of stars and hands in the earring
So, there's silver stars there which is essentially where I've come from obviously, referencing space
and the chain is the journey, and the rose gold hand is humanity.
As an amazing Ray edition
Violet and green are essentially, were the colours of the suffragettes
So, I said to Jodie, can I put violet in the sleeves? And she let me.
Yeah, and it's brilliant
We came to the conclusion that the Doctor loves humanity and loves life
and has a respect for everyone, and so the sleeves and the earring, the feeling of it tied together
You nailed it babes.
I know.
Dream team.
I think so.
Who is the biggest diva on set?
Oh, without a doubt, Mr Bradley Walsh.
Uh, Bradley Walsh, you're the biggest diva on set.
Who is the biggest diva on set?
Brad.
The biggest diva on set is Mr Bradley Walsh.
Bradley Walsh!
Who is the biggest diva on set?
Bradley Walsh, definitely.
Bradley Walsh, hands down.
Bradley Walsh!
So there we are then, the crew have spoken.
Bradley Walsh is the biggest diva.
Well done guys, stay humble.
It's Lauren, it's Lauren, it's Lauren.
I asked her to make me a coffee
and she said no, I had to make it myself.
She's a runner, what does she expect me to do?
I'm number one on this set.
I am not making my own coffee.
It's her
The end of Episode 4 is the point at which these
3 characters who have been whisked across space
by accident, make a conscious decision.
Do we stay at home with those lives
that we were in the middle of, or do we actually make a
positive, conscious choice to step back in the TARDIS
to go on these adventures with this crazy,
brilliant woman?
We've got a really good relationship
and it's really natural and started off really fast
but we were so close off set,
that it echoes in the performance.
You can fake chemistry to a certain degree, but
I think it will be obvious to the audience that we
in real life all get on.
Everyone just brings their little bits of vulnerability
to the interior of the TARDIS which becomes our home.
They've started Episode 1 as 3 very separate individuals
and by the end of Episode 4 those adventures and those
experiences have already changed them
and they're happy to keep going on that journey.
Case File 4: Mutant Spiders
I've never been afraid of spiders, but these were no ordinary eight-legged creatures.
I heard once that you're never more than 3 metres away from a spider,
it's just that you don't usually spot them.
That wasn't a problem here. They were gigantic, you couldn't miss them!
So, did we find them on a distant alien planet?
No, it was on Earth. My home city of Sheffield to be precise.
And this incident was really close to home, 'cause my mum was caught up in it all.
She'd got a job as a general manager at a luxury hotel, but it definitely had a non-luxurious side.
I learned some fun facts though!
Like spiders taste and smell through their legs.
And, bit of a surprise this one, they really like grime music.
Even after what we went through, I'm still not that scared of spiders.
We weren't responsible for what happened.
We were just doing what came naturally.
And they were living creatures. The Doctor taught us to respect that,
and preserve life where we can.
So we do.
I'm Segun and I'm the composer for the new series of Doctor Who.
My role is to aid the storytelling through music
and to work with Chris and Matt
and to figure out what the sound is, what the direction of the music is
and how we want it to work with the new direction
that Chris is taking the show in.
He's a real rising star that a lot of people were
talking about in the, in the music composition world.
His experimentation, the use of sounds, the use of
electronic and found sounds along with orchestrated
sounds and he was very interested in building a
sound world around the show.
He was fascinated with the history of the music of the show.
Of course, when the show first came out
it was pioneering, Delia Derbyshire helped set up
the Radiophonic Workshop and helped create the original sound with Ron Grainer's theme tune
and those sounds are still ahead of their time
they're still cutting edge 55 years later.
I studied some stuff about the Radiophonic Workshop
when I was going through my GCSEs
and that was really, really important because that left an impression on me
about music and what music could be and it was no
longer a case of it just had to be a piano or it just
had to be an orchestra or it just had to be a
rock band or something, it could be found sounds
that you were manipulating and working with and playing around with
and, and so much more.
What's great is to be able to actually bring
that side of things into the show
not to say that it's the same as what they did but
certainly, I've been very much inspired by that creativity.
I think he just brings a new approach
there's stuff in his score that you'd find in the charts
there's stuff that you'd find on Brian Eno records
there's sort of more ambient soundscape-y stuff.
I can talk to you about how Rag'n'Bone Man
and Adele and other artists in the popular world
have really influenced the score
have really influenced the score very much as much as Radiophonic Workshop but
very much as much as Radiophonic Workshop but
also people like Steven Price doing 'Gravity' and
Jóhann Jóhannsson doing 'Arrival'
how those kind of influences are in it as well, so
it's definitely a modern score but then it doesn't
leave behind live instruments or influences from the classical world either
it's got those in it as well, so it really does pull
from lots of different areas.
I think he's done a brilliant new version of the theme
which both harks back to the show's history
and makes it feel very modern.
Before I was really, completely on board we had
a discussion about the Doctor, we had a discussion
about what's Chris, as the lead creative, what's he
trying to convey with this Doctor and also
Jodie as well, what's she bringing to it, what's she conveying
so, Chris talked me through a lot of things to do with
her and to do with hope, and to do with how she's playing the character
and that just really inspired me, so we finished
the conversation and I said, look I'll write some music for you
and I just started writing, and spent a few days on it
and sent it over to them and that was in a way my
emotional and musical reaction to that conversation
with Chris about who the Doctor is and what she stands for.
The music for Doctor Who in this series, what I hope
it will do is it will bring the sense of joy
and the sense of excitement that the show has
but it will also bring those moments of quiet contemplation and emotion.
So, it's a really fresh, different feel to the show
and sort of compliments the new look of the show
If you think about the range of tones and emotions
we have, for example, in episode one, just that alone
probably hits all the notes that any other whole series might hit
We're not pulling back or hiding from any big emotions or big moments
we are being as bold about being very, very small
and subtle and gentle, as we are about being
really big and being really on the front foot.
What we demand from our composer is really huge
and that's the exciting thing about Segun
is he's unifying all that into a new voice for the show, which is really great.
To work on Doctor Who you need to
be proud of the facial hair.
There are some impressive beards on set I have to say.
And I've told the girls they have to shave more regular
because it's getting a bit embarrassing now.
My beard's probably one of the best beards.
Just putting it out there.
Uh, I think you might have competition.
Yeah you know, you see what's going on.
Yeah alright cool, let's cut it.
