Some things I found interesting from Rachel Talalay's live commentary of Heaven Sent at Chicago TARDIS:
- The story was originally set in a haunted house with weeping angels.
- Sometimes a single line would be shot across a mix of three locations: two actual castles and a set.
- The script was clear that the castle should have no interior lighting except for the fireplace where The Doctor dries their clothes. Rachel got some pushback from the crew on a shaft of light coming at an angle from outside, asking where the light came from. Her response was, "It doesn't have to come from anywhere. It comes from 'It looks good.'"
- Rachel worked to give more of a horror vibe to certain scenes. She did things like add a spooky wind, have Peter play the tone more for horror, and even consult with Murray Gold to keep the tone consistent. She also pushed for a “creepy garden” as opposed to the formal garden Moffat had scripted.
- Jenna wasn’t available for most of the shots where Clara is writing on the TARDIS chalkboards. They originally used a double, but the double was too obviously not Jenna. It was actually the person who did the colour grading who found other usable shots of Jenna from behind and put them in the final episode.
- Everyone was very worried about Peter hurting his hand punching the wall, especially since he had hurt his hand punching the TARDIS console in "Death in Heaven." They were going to have Peter just fake the punch and get a stunt person for close-ups, but Peter insisted on doing the punches himself because of the importance of the moment for his character. Rachel agreed on the condition that, "If you hurt yourself, you're the one who tells your wife." (He did not hurt himself again.)
- When the Doctor burns themselves and their hand dissolves away to nothing, the hand was sculpted out of Lush bath bombs. Rachel had the idea and suggested it as a cost-effective solution. So they just sculpted Peter's hand out of bath bombs and poured some water on it.
- When the Doctor breaks through the wall and the Veil collapses, the collapse was achieved by filling the Veil costume with helium balloons and then popping them.

why do Billie and David look like 2 kids who have been dragged into a family picture against their will
Tumblr media
it's like they're waiting to run off and RTD is like "DON'T YOU DARE! you are going to sit on my lap and take pictures with the rest of the fam" and then grabs on to them extra tight just in case

obsessed with the fact that apperently Dodo's actress (Jackie Lane), after retiring from acting after doctor who, was apperently Janet Fielding's agent (TOM BAKER TOO??)
Tumblr media
and then Janet Fielding went to become Paul Mcgann's agent
Tumblr media
and then i discoverd that apperently Wendy freaking Padbury (mother fucking Zoe Heriot) was the agent of but not limited to: Nicholas Courtny, Colin baker, AND DISCOVERD MATT SMITH
Tumblr media
...if you want to work on doctor who get you a 60s who agent i guess XD
