 This is a test. There is Doc. Hello. There is Megan. Hello. There is Luke. He's not here. No, he doesn't exist anymore. He's out of continuity. Right. We have to re-shoot that thing again. No, you'll just have to like deep fake my face to be just anyone else. Right. Good. I'm ready to go. Are we all ready? Excellent. This is all a trap. The doors are locked. No, right. I mean, technically they are. They were from the house. Ah! You're the one who's trapped here. Well, I'm never leaving, but that's fine. I think there's worse places to be trapped. You're going to put him a hammock. Yeah. Ah! Right. I am here with some recognizable faces of the Doctor Who community. We've got Dominic, aka The Purple Doctor. Hello, hello, hello. We've got Megan, aka Megan. And we've got Luke, aka The Little Red Riding Hood Doctor. Hi. That's right, yeah. Yeah, no, just a little red. Just a little smidge. Little smidge. Good stuff. But yes, before we get into the questions, obviously thank you. Being here is awesome. It took a while, but it's worth it. Jesus Christ. Three, three and a half hours. I woke up at, what, eight o'clock. And now I'm here at, like, what, two? No, four. Four o'clock. The man's done a journey. But enough about me. There's enough me in the show. I think we can move on to the actual questions. Can we? Should we? Yes. So, we'll start with some softball ones for a lot of you. First of all, what is Doctor Who? Just anyone. Anyone chime in? I'll take it. So, Doctor Who is apparently some show that was created by somebody who had a good idea at the time. And generally, it's generally seen as quite a good thing, maybe. It depends who you ask really. Personally, we think it's quite good. Some other people might not, but that's their problem, not ours. Well, that's a very good answer. Yeah, not so. In a, yeah. Yeah, good. Now we've gotten the basis out of the way, if I can unlock my phone. We're in here, obviously, so I have to draw attention to it as hilarious as it would be to just be like, so we're just in someone's shed. I'll ask each of you this. What is your favourite part of the console? Go. The no switch on the toys console. I'm not explaining it. Luke. The D-MAT lever. D-MAT lever. D-MAT lever. D-MAT lever. I think you're just being, you're cheating. You just heard that and wanted to say it. All right, if you want a second option, then I'll have to go with some of these. What are these little switches as well? Because they're very cathartic, because you can just do that. I feel threatened. Good. This is new. I haven't had to worry about this before. Right, and then last but not least, out of all the ones that have been in your episodes, favourite monster or villain? Too long. It's going to be Astrid Jones. I was going to say... Got to be the time flights because I made them. In my defence, I was going to say one in series five, but I can't say that yet because... No, yes you can. There's an answer so quickly. It can't really. It can't really. Yes, so when series five come out? Well, you see... You had to do it. I was warned. I couldn't help it. I couldn't help it. That's fair. That's fair. They were always trained on me at all times anyways, though. I'm used to it. So, I've got three questions for each of you, and we'll alternate. I think that's the smartest way of doing it. So, Luke. You all right? Yeah, you all right? Just, do you know, in my element? Good. No, I'm kidding. So, as tempted as I am to talk about the Lego stop motions you did back in the day, as great as they were, I'm going to focus on the fan films as I was this close. I was this close to putting in a question. So, when it comes to the fan films in general, how did that start? What's the genesis of Doctor Who 2012 as people know it? That's a good question. Thank you. I travelled all this way. I better ask them some more questions. Well, a lot of it started when I talked to a few friends, they were like, oh, thank you, Tom. That's okay. I don't know, I'm thanking you for it. I'm just holding it. He's read all the tech. I'm going to be nothing now. Ah! Yeah. So, it just kind of started as a couple of friends were saying, oh, you know, would you consider doing live action? And I was like, oh, I'd like to. And then because I started putting a TARDIS, it's like an old brainer. You've got the TARDIS you have to do. So, was the TARDIS not built for the fan films? Oh, sorry. It was just built for fun. Just for, yeah? Yeah, the original one was. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, it was half the size of it. It's the old question of what came first, chicken or the egg? What came first? The fan film of, right. Who have I got written next before I drop my phone again? It's all getting tangled. No, it's fine. Meg, all right. So, you do more of the acting side of things, aside from carrying the bags, while moving the bags out of shot. So, yeah, that's feminism in action, folks. DW 2012, big fan of it. I run the line sometimes, I do apologise. So, from an acting perspective, could you do a lot of acting outside of this as well? I see it on the instant grams and stuff. So, with the fan films, what are some of the more either challenging or fun things you've had to do acting-wise? Yeah, I mean, as well as spoilers for series five, that I can't talk about. That's about two. But then, in the finale, there's quite a few scenes that we've kind of done recently that I really want to talk about, but living loads of them is a fun and, like, I want to push myself. Yeah, do a second interview after. Acting-wise. Yeah, I'll have to come back, because all the answers you've given me so far is, oh, I can't talk about it. Thanks. The series five is, you know, it's got good content. Things got, I mean, okay. You're selling it. Something I can't talk about. The regeneration scene, that was really fun. Like the whole, that was very emotional. I was like, we're not going to cry. I was the first one to cry. And then, obviously, that whole regeneration bit and the post-regen and all the sort of stunt-y type of things we do. What, flinging yourself out the doors? Yes, just yeet myself out of the door to the ground. It was a good shot. I'll be talking about this earlier. It's a good shot, mainly for Dom. Hi, Dom. How are you doing? How are you? You all right? Yeah, I'm okay. Okay, moving on. So, hi. It's really intimidating. My life's you. So, first of all, I said this in the car on the way over, but congratulations for the job at Big Finish. Thank you very much. You do mostly admin. It's not supposed to talk about that. Mick Briggs, don't kill me. I'll bleep it out and then people will have to wonder. I'll bleep it out and people will have to wonder what it is. So, how did you come to join the Fan Films? Well, it was a nice little story, actually, because we met in Birmingham Comic Con 2014. Keep on getting the dates mixed up. So you had time, Lord Matt? Yeah, so we first met for the first time. We became friends after that. And then, wasn't it almost the same day? It was the same day. Yeah, it was the same day that you asked me, and you were filming Serious 2 at the time, weren't you? That if I wanted to become the next doxer after him. And it was very much a case of me saying, Yeah. Was it like you didn't know? You were like, yes, sure. We'll get to that point, won't we? Yeah, definitely. I mean, I was already a rare of the Fan Films beforehand. And I was just like, oh, yeah, you're in the TARDIS. Yeah, you're in TARDIS. I've seen the set. I want to play. I want to go, Matt. I want to go. Yeah, so after that, I mean, the rest is history. I ended up doing my first particular microphone. I ended up doing my first actual shooting in the final enigma, and that was 2017 around there. And then, of course, drop. Usually the mics most of the drop, but phone dropped instead. Phone dropped instead. Do continue. And then the movie as well, and now doing the first full series. So all been very, very good. Very exciting. And the weird thing was, was that Meg met Dom before me and Meg got together and before I met Dom. It was very, it's not about to get exposed. I was at Comic-Con with a friend, and then I was just going around in like... How date? This is brand new! Going around in cosplay, just having photos of cosplayers, and I just grabbed Dom and had a photo with Dom. What was Dom dressed as? Eleventh Doctor. Correct. With handles. With handles. The handles. Yeah, the little handles. And then, yeah, and then when I met Luke and then I got in the series and then I was literally just scrolling back and I was like, is that Dom? And I was like, oh, I met Dom and I didn't even meet Dom. It was just really strange. Like a year and a half before. It was the same day that I met Dom for the first time. Yeah. And the day I asked him to play the Doctor. So it was all I meant to say. It's all connected. It's like a year and a half before I met you. It's been so long. It's been so long. Destiny. Destiny. This is, this is... Sorry for any audio issues. Haven't used this before. So I'm just playing. You're just like, hello. This is like really intimidating from your end. Like, hey, hey, hey. You're talking. You talk. You talk now. You answer. So with Dom being the mainline Doctor for series five, have you enjoyed being more behind the camera this time? Yes. I actually prefer it. Really? Who would ever take on that? I do. Why is it better? It's just, I don't know. It's just, it's more comfortable. I mean, obviously carrying the camera, that's the crap part. It's heavy and weighty, but at the same time, I just enjoy having control on how the episode looks. So I don't have to worry about acting or remembering lines or anything. So I just, I've got the script and I've got the camera and I'm good to go. We do have a good, like, flow in filming now. Yeah. It's got nice. Yeah, honestly. I think at the moment, the three of us are really working the best we ever worked. Yeah. And I think... Would you say series five is the best so far? Oh, yes. Put you on a pedestal now. Now you, the hype is real. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I'm trying to get you in as much trouble as humanly possible when series five comes around. Oh, that's fine. That's fine. We will live up to it. That's me. You heard that? I'm going to, I'm going to keep that clip in a special little place. I'm going to bring it back up every time, every episode. Ah, here we go. This is a fun question for you, Megan. So you've acted against both of these as the doctor, which is better? Complete. I'm going to lose a boyfriend. Don't make us go. And then you could do that. Obviously, I'm going to say Dan. Dan, yeah. He plays the Irish doctor and like us, he's just so good. I just can't ever fault it. You can't fault that accent. They just, they just can't like, you know, live up to it. You heard it here first. Luke just got dumped. All right, back to Dom. Hi, Dom. I feel the need to always say that. I don't know why. Hi, Dom. So the costume, as you're wearing it, it's something I must bring up. Very snazzy, even though it's warm on a hot day. So where'd the look come from and why purple? Well, the simple question, the simple answer, as to why, that's not a question, is it? The brain works better than the mouth does. Now there's a quote. Okay, continue. So the reason I decided purple was just because it's my favorite color. And I was particularly influenced by Kilgrave, played by David Tennant, in Marvel's Jessica Jones. He's very hot. Yeah, he's very. And he had a very good costume choices there. And I was just like, yeah, purple is the thing that is cementing this sort of style and look for me. I mean, I do my own little quirks. Like, as you can see, I've got knuckle socks. I've been with you for a good few hours. Did not notice the socks. It's normally Sonic. It's normally Sonic. But they're all Sonic. Is that because you've got to go fast? Indeed. I just felt like the worst interview in the world. That hurt to say. Is it because you've got to go fast? Kids, do you get that reference? I'm the youngest here. I can't say that. See, actually, here's a fun fact. I'm 22, 37, 46, 2000. Just a fun little scoop there. Accurate. I'm never getting invited back. But yeah, I mean, with the costume, I wanted to try and make it as unique as possible. So hence why I've gone for a collar pin, mainly because I saw a picture of David Bowie wearing one. I was just like... Fashion icon. You can't say no to it. Absolutely. And I was just like, yeah, okay. We'll just include a few of these with some shirts. This shirt here I'm wearing here is a screen-accurate one, worn by David Tennant in Jessica Dones. Those are Kilgrave shirts. Very nice. He likes it, particularly because it makes it easy to focus on the camera. Yeah, the camera does. This one on the pace, mate. It's like, ah, yes. Yeah. Loves it. That's good, Tennant. Yes, yes, naturally. And that's the only reason, actually. It's Luke insisted because of the camera. Kilgrave, who's that? I held a gun to my head and was just like, wearing that shirt in half the episodes. Also, I got me. But yeah, yeah. And you can't see who we're really here, but I'll give a quick flash. But there you go. Hey. Traces as well. Didn't even have to ask. No, no, there you go. But yeah, it's just like all sorts of purple elements, different shades and everything. And I just thought, yeah, just make this as purple as I can when I'm not wearing a black shirt. So, yes. Well, I can skip a page because there was a question to strip, but now I don't have to ask it. Convenient. Every time I just noticed, every time I do that, I'm just blocking you, Meg. I do apologize. It's fine, I've got a new head now. I'm Wally now. You are Meg and Wally. There we go. Casting call. You know, you heard it here first. Luke, back to you. It's your last proper question. Last direct question. There is a few others directed to all of you. So be scared. Be terrified, in fact. Let me remind myself what that question is. I'm going to cut this bit out. So I look cleverer than I actually am. I'm looking at it. I'm not reading it. Well, yes, of course, how could I forget? So again, we're in this TARDIS. It's amazing. First of all, brilliant craftsmanship. Do you ever just at any point in the day, whether you're filming or not filming, just come down and just sort of mech around it here, just apropos of nothing? No. Liar. I don't believe you for a second. I'm rarely in here because every time I'm in here, I'm just like, it's a TARDIS. Every viewer has turned against you. It's honestly, when you have your own time, it's so boring. Did this pick up? It's so boring. Because when I go in here, I'm like, oh, that needs doing, that needs repair, that needs maintenance, that needs maintenance. I always get loads of messages like, oh my God, a fan is, a fan is, a fan is. Oh, the bulb is gone. And that's the thing. It's just like, I mean, I love it because I come in here and I don't have to do any of the maintenance. Yeah, you can see it. You have all the fun. Yeah, all the fun, but he keeps it going. And I wouldn't know the first thing and what to do, how to build it, anything like that. I'm not a very practical building type person in that sort of aspect. Normally over Christmas, I'll lock the doors about January, not January. I'll lock the doors in November and I won't come back near March. And she gets shut down for Christmas. So I know when I can come and I'm interrupted. When I come in, I'm dreading to go in because I know everything's gone wrong. I know things aren't going to be working. So you say it about that low, so then you're impressed, right? This year, I was impressed. I walked, I mean, wow, nothing needs to do it. Keep this up, you're doing a good job. But I don't really normally come in here now. I only come in here for filming. That makes me irrationally angry. Just because here's the thing. I was saying this a minute ago, seeing it on camera genuinely doesn't do it justice. It is the details in here that might even not a feature in a fan film is incredible. You're saying that you were going to do a behind the scenes, what, try and do a tour? Yeah, we're trying to plan it, but we're just like, how, because there's so much stuff. There's too much to go in. We're not trying to do it in little sections, but we're just like, yeah. It would take at least a year. Hi, yes. Megan, hi. Sorry. So obviously, the character's named after you, which is nepotism and vanity at its highest, and that's coming from me. So when it comes to playing the character, is it a lot of just you, or do you have an inspiration for how you do it? Well, I think it is mainly me, but it's just a very cockier, confident version of myself, I think. Would you not consider yourself cocky or confident? To not to as much extent of what is what she is, I suppose. I say, as I shove a microphone into you, you're not confident. I'm just not crying. I mean, there is a slight bit of difference from yours and Meg's, because obviously you prefer being called Meg. Yeah, well, the thing is right. And you hate the word Megan. I do hate my name Megan. Is that why you called her character Megan? Yeah, he did it. Wow. Boyfriend of the year. And the only reason I did it was because the amount of times I've had companions and I've kept calling them by their companion name, the amount of times I called Chloe Jess, rather than actual name. It's almost like calling an ex, calling your current girlfriend an ex's name. It's just that same amount of like, oh, that was awkward. Yeah, so I'm like, oh, Chloe, come on, let's go. Yeah, I mean, to me, to me, Megan's my character and Meg is myself. Yeah. It's really weird. It's like a dual personality. I guess because their names are the same ones, got to be, I don't know. Yeah. You had to hear first, right? Sorry if I'm coming across like an asshole. It's just because I am one and I've tricked you all. Back to big finish. I promise this isn't going to be too intrusive. What's your favourite social security note? No. So I'm not going to ask like specifically what you do, but people obviously, I mean, I know a couple of my friends have mentioned just that they are obviously a bit jealous that you get to work for big finish. It is an impressive feat. So for the folks at home, how did you sort of get their attention? How did they get in contact? I don't know. I just ended up there. Really? Yeah, literally it's just a case of they came to me and it's just I'm just very honoured to have been given the opportunity to work for them because they are very lovely people. They honestly really are. In terms of working environment, they are just some of the best people I've worked with. Sorry for the new team, obviously. That's all I've been for so long. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Honestly, I've had such an enlightening time working there, seeing how things work from the from behind the scenes. Well, not what these scenes is. Well, from the visual perspective is behind the audio production experience. Yeah, I've just enjoyed it a lot. And yeah, I'm looking forward to working on productions and stuff. I was the chair. I wasn't going to let it go. I'm sorry. I knew you were. I was the chair. Again, never getting invited back. Right, now I've got a short quiz. Short quiz. I've got a short quiz. Nothing too hard. Again, what's your favorite social security numbers? First of all, it's going to be about your doctor lineup. Now, I'll be honest, I like to consider myself a fan of yours, but I didn't realize how many sort of doctors there were in the lineup. So I've written them down, but I'm not showing you. So who comes first? Pete. No. Nathan. I'm talking about specifically names of the doctors. I don't know the actor's names. I don't know. I was going to write it down. I'm all right. Yeah, all right. It's going to be, I think I can reel them off. So that'll be Northern Doctor, Young Doctor, Blonde Doctor, Little Red Doctor, Purple Doctor, Lost Doctor, Irish Doctor, and then the Crevat Doctor. Yep. Well, that was a quick quiz. What did you expect? Yeah. Good point. I was really expecting you to be like, oh no. I was hoping to catch you out. You're the one scored. The thing is, Dan and Cudder would never let you left it down if you did. I was really banking on one getting left out as well. Yeah. I was really hoping just like someone would be watching at home like, Dan, do you think you're going to forget the Lost Doctor? Because I did. No, no, no. I was like, oh yeah, the Lost Doctor. We never did find him. Where'd he go? He's gone to his day of remains lost. How'd he get lost? I don't know. Oh no. How tragic. What if I didn't become the Found Doctor? Yeah. Slightly less mysterious though. Yeah, definitely. Here's another quiz. This is a shorter quiz. And I'm not going to let you work as a team, because that was cheating first. You let Dom do all the work. Okay, Ashley, here's a question, Meg. List them. You just heard them. What's the Doctor line up? The Northern Doctor. You people don't listen to me, do you? The Northern Doctor, the Young Doctor. The One Doctor, The Little Red Doctor, The Purple Doctor, The Lost Doctor, The Irish Doctor, The Carat Doctor. Well done. You live another day. Well done. Again, the doors are locked. Okay, so the next one I've taken, I'm going to take it in turns, I've taken three screenshots from one of the fan films. And you've got to tell me which one it is. I'm doing this again to try and catch someone out. Because I wouldn't be able to get them. So I want you to not get them. It's going to be like a random shot someone's foot. Well, let's see how cruel I was, ladies and gentlemen. So who do I start with? Oh, who do I pick on first? Dominic, you seem the most intelligent of the three. No offence. No offence to prepare of you. What's that? That's cheating. So what's that one? Oh, I know that. Yeah, I know that one. I'm just trying to recover the name. Because it's the one that has the Ghostbusters influence, wasn't it? That was the one that I... It's the one you filmed. Yeah, I've won the film. You filmed that shot? Yeah, I filmed that shot. I'm just trying to draw a series four. Who's in it? I'm so caught. I'm going to need an episode title. God. Oh, that's it. Oh, no, pass. Does anyone want to steal? I'll steal it. Go for it. The mysterious call. That's the one. It's the mysterious call, ladies and gentlemen. It's flashing at me again. Anyway, well done. You got it right. I'll move on to you, Megan. I was going to do it, but he got it right. So I'm going to do now, change the order. Oh, this one has you in it. What's that? Reflection. That's my first episode. It is reflection. I shouldn't have picked you because I knew it was your foot. God damn it. Jack hasn't thought this through despite all the expense. And now finally, Luke Newman, renowned little red doctor. What's that? Fatality trap. That is correct. Well done. And as a prize, there you go. Fight between some chocolate buttons and a sonic scream. Don't say I never did anything for you. After this cut season, I love them back. Yeah. This is all for show. Give it back in. Yeah. I forgot to mention the prizes. So there they are. But you all got them right. So now I should have brought three items. You want a phone? Phone? That you too. Who wants the phone? There's a phone for now. There you go. Have a phone. Okay. Hello. Classic comedy. It's your mother. Oh, I'm filming. I'm filming. That is that is the end of my questions and the fun quiz that I'm sure was a roaring success on all fronts. Don't hold it there. Look, I haven't been the doctor in a while. Okay. I thought I had to hold one of these things. But this doesn't hurt. Don't just go like shaking his head. There you go, doctor. You show us how it's done. That's a professional right there. Yes. Thank you again for letting me come out. Well, I'm sure one of you, I spoke to you. Didn't I? I spoke to you about it. Never have I spoken to these two. We don't even know who this guy is. It's your house, your car. Yeah, it's very kind of them, very kind of you. I'm talking to them. It's a very kind of you lot to let me come out and have some bants. It's been fun. It's been a pleasure. Yeah. Not at all awkward in any sense of the word. Now I'm going to turn this off. And if I don't come back alive, Gemma, you can have my stuff.
