DTs fanfic video diary No 3

“Hello and welcome to the TARDIS set again!” DT says as he turns his camera towards the set, the actress who plays Georgia smiles and waves, “Today we have been told to pretend to be our characters all day. So we’re calling each other our acting names, oh look there’s Colonel Mace. How are you ‘Colonel Mace’?”

“Hello, ‘Doctor’!” Rupert Holiday-Evans, ‘Colonel Mace’ replied, “I am fine, and would the Doctor really be going around with a video camera?”
“Good point”, DT says, “The producers don’t need to know, what are you doing here?”
“Oh didn’t you know”, Colonel Mace says, “You’re going to be regenerating into me, they changed the script last minute”.
“Really?” DT replies sarcastically, “I must be playing some other character for the rest of the series”.
“I’ve just finished my scene nearby, so I’ve come to watch”, ‘Colonel Mace’ says, “But looks like you’re needed on set”.
“All right bye”, DT says and walks onto the set, where the set manager Jill is standing.

“Doctor, I mean DT”, Jill begins, “This switch here is broken, if you flick it, it will fall off”.
“Right”, DT replies.
“I know you’ve pressed this switch in rehearsals”, Jill continues, “But you’ll have to press some other button in this take”.
“OK”, DT says, “I pull that switch instead”.
“No, you can’t pull that one”, Jill says, “It can’t be moved, that one”. DT sighs and ‘Georgia’ giggles.
“So is that one OK?” DT asks, pointing at a large blue button, above the broken switch, “Is that another broken button?”
“That ones fine David”, Jill says.
“You’re supposed to call him Doctor”, ‘Georgia’ interrupts.

“OK, and can I remind you David”, Jill says, “That it’s you who breaks all these levers and switches”.
“All right, sorry”, DT says smiling.

DT is sitting in his trailer again.
“We did the last scene of the Christmas special in one take in the end”, DT explains, “I think that Georgia is a very good companion and now the actors who play Conner and Zac have arrived, ready to film Conner. It’s a nice short name for episode 1 this series. The octopli invade, about a month after the magnet warriors, surely by now everyone in London should be dead… Anyway Rupert and Bridget have left, the actors who play Brian and Captain Gifford have left and the Magnet Warriors have gone too. Also Carla has moved on from Doctor Who, she’s working on some other BBC programme now. Well, bye for now…”
