Doctor Who Confidential — S03E05 — Making Manhattan

00:00:02 NARRATOR: It's an explosive conclusion to the Doctor's New York story.

00:00:26 and shoot plate shots and be able to blend the real New York

00:00:44 So we ended up sending an effects crew and the director, James Strong,

00:01:29 But again, with this design team and this effects team,

00:02:28 -Which one? -Well, I don't know if you want it...

00:02:51 And we're gonna construct a kind of collage, if you like.

00:03:11 We want the trees so that we can kind of cut around them

00:03:31 wherever we film, we're gonna film in Cardiff at a park,

00:04:07 We're gonna put the Tardis right the way in the middle of the lawn

00:04:29 We'll film David and Freema against green screens,

00:04:54 NARRATOR: But luck was on their side, in a small town called Pennaf,

00:05:24 The brick on the wall here is almost identical.

00:05:54 But New York? That's what this city's good at.

00:06:19 and here they are in Cardiff,

00:06:44 Draw your own conclusion.

00:07:10 All the stuff we shot with David and Freema today will match exactly

00:07:38 and that's the perfect example of that.

00:08:11 Like any high explosive, it obviously sends a shockwave

00:08:33 debris pushing towards that camera over there.

00:08:56 So on action, Guy's gonna be running, running, running.

00:09:17 So we'll have yours locked off, obviously.

00:10:31 Okay, fire's out. Everybody stay where they are.

00:10:55 NARRATOR: Cardiff and New York have been on an exchange like no other.

00:11:17 It's lovely, really lovely.
