mizgnomer: Behind the Scenes of The Christmas Invasion (Part 21) Excerpts from Doctor Who: The Insid
mizgnomer:Behind the Scenes of The Christmas Invasion (Part 21)Excerpts from Doctor Who: The Inside Story:For the show’s new star, reading the script for the first time was a slightly peculiar experience. “By page forty, I still hadn’t done very much,” David points out. “I thought that was bold, keeping the main character in a coma for most of it. Then he wakes up and you have five pages of sparkling Russell T Davies dialogue, and it works brilliantly. Obviously, it’s daunting because when you wake up you have to justify the fact that you’ve been kept off-screen all this time by making an impact. So from an acting point of view that was the challenge. But it’s a great script; it’s got some fantastic gags in it; a wonderful kind of heroic swagger; and it has a slightly off-the-wall, mercurial anarchy, which I think is what defines what’s extraordinary about the Doctor. I don’t do very much, then I wake up. I talk for five pages; I press the button that nobody’s allowed to press; I break the monster’s staff; I haul away his whip. And then, just to top it all off, I have a sword fight with him on the wing of a spaceship - my hand is cut off; I grow it back, and then bring down the Prime Minister of Great Britain - all within ten minutes. You can’t really ask for a better entrance than that.”Other parts of this photoset: [one] [two] [three] [four] [five] [six] [seven] [eight] [nine] [ten] [eleven] [twelve] [thirteen] [fourteen] [fifteen] [sixteen] [seventeen] [eighteen] [nineteen] [twenty][ List of all Doctor Who Behind the Scenes photosets ] -- source link
