It should be noted that some of the headstones in the film were theatrical props added to the general scene of the set. With one of the shots of a monster hiding behind a headstone, you can see it rock as the monster gets up.

Did anybody see DT in the video? I didn't catch him if he was there. I REALLY want to know if he's staying or not.

[papseyno1]

I understand that he did turn up towards the end of the second and final day of filming this clip.

I read somewhere that he drove himself to this location.

Anyone else take their video cameras when they go visit their dear departed?

[papseyno1]

It wasn't a video camera as such, it was a digital camera with a high capacity memory card and that takes video.

The camera was being used for a new website that honours the war dead of Newport by listng their names and where possible a photograph of the individual,their Commonwealth War Grave headstone and any other detail I can find out about them.

You know, the people that died in war to give you the right of free speech and take the piss!

There's about 280 of them in that cemetery.

That music is terrible

[papseyno1]

I might agree with but I think it made No1 in the UK pop charts a few years back, so who am I to judge.

I think it's appalling that they used a real cemetary for this.

[DalekVsCybermen]

Thats a fucking outrahe he made you move. you had more right to be standing there then anyone the BBC decided to throw there. yes im a big fan of dr who i luv it but i think its disgusting filmin in a real graveyard. if he told u 2 move from ur sons grave u shud habe hit him.

[doublecrosspenguin]

its not very respectful to the corpses by filming in a real grave yard

[trippendale742]

ok ok cool down there mate lol

[Hailfire999]

Yes, I agree it's a bit weird to film in a real cemetry, but how do you make something that looks as authentic as a real graveyard in a studio

[trippendale742]

you seem pretty crazy

[PBantonox]

I was wondering if you might post it without the music? I'd like to know what they were saying...
