 Hello, sir! How'd you get in my flat? I've got an urgent letter for you! It better be! Unit HQ. What's that? Words. Damn. That's what I was afraid of. To Mr Jack Reeves, you have been requested by Redacted. Oh, I love that guy! To our secret headquarters address below. See, I've never thought of that. This guy's good. Please come immediately. Tim's fractals are only getting worse. Oh, I love that guy! Blah, blah, blah, unimaginable stakes. Blah, blah, blah, vortex collapsing. Blah, blah, blah, the universe is being torn apart. The universe? But I live there! You better go! Okay. Unit HQ. I've also got this package for you. Right. Come here! Welcome to Doctor Who, the community show. A special episode where I've been invited to Unit HQ under mysterious circumstances as well. I don't know why. It's something to do with Tim's fractals splintering or something. I don't know. But why don't we head inside and find out for ourselves? Shall we? Here we go. Hopefully it's not dangerous. I'm terrible with danger. Let me tell you. Especially if it's aliens. Terrified of aliens. Number one fear? Aliens. So it's probably not that, though. Oh yeah, we're doing time fracture, baby. Doctor Who time fracture is an immersive theatre experience over in London. Because I guess I asked nicely, I was allowed access to Doctor Who time fracture to interview six cast members. But I got there really early. So without asking, I filmed the bits you just saw. As you can tell, this episode of the community show will be a lot different than usual. There won't be any sort of main promotions. That won't be going away. That is something that will always stay, of course. But this one solely focused on promoting time fracture. You might think it doesn't really count as community work. But after talking to the cast and some of the crew. Yeah, no, they're all big nerds. To give you an idea, one of the prop makers, James Sutton, is someone I had already interviewed last year in person. Play a clip of that. The art director did a solid job on everything. Because he really cared about getting things right and taking the time to get things right. So I was very appreciative of all the hard work he was putting into the project as a whole. Right, no conner. He is just art director. He is that props guy on Instagram. He is brilliant. As I said, there are six interview guests this time. Which is unheard of for the show. Not all at once, though, thank Christ. Jess Elton, Simon Victor, Samuel Hunt, Bethany Blake, Angus Dunican and James Lawrence all were kind enough to come in early and chat to me about time fracture and other nerd stuff. It was wicked. Even after editing down the raw over an hour footage, I managed to get it down to only 23 minutes. So this time, instead of having a dedicated segment to the cut-down interview, I have actually cut up the interview into, I believe, five different sections and will be sprinkling it throughout the show. Let's get this show on the road with the first part of the interview segments. I am here with Jess Simon. Hello. Sam Hunt. Samuel Hunt. Samuel Hunt. Sorry. Bethany. Angus and Simon. Sorry. And James. First of all, immersive theatre. How would you best describe immersive theatre? I think people have been to immersive theatre by realising it. I think for a lot of people, their first interaction of immersive theatre is something like Disneyland. That is a world that is tactile. That is a world that you can play in. That's a world where you can interact with people. There can be immersive theatre that is like this, is very narrative structured and you are following a clear thread that might spin off into a few different directions. Or there's other kind of immersive theatre, which is essentially like a sandbox immersive, which is I think what Secret Cinema in particular are very good at. So where you would rock up and you would explore a world and there might be missions within that world for you to do, but really, it's like a GTA. Basically, but with less violence and cars. At Heart, that is what immersive theatre is. It is an environment where you enter a storyline. You literally cross over a threshold. You are in the world. You are interacted with. The world around you completely changes and is completely different to the outside world. Before you came here, was there any sort of prior knowledge or experience with immersive theatre? Yes. I've done various things with different immersive theatre companies. I've worked with Secret Cinema quite a few times. So I knew the director, Tom Malla, and the writer, Dan, from a previous immersive job that I'd done, which was the immersive great Gatsby. Back in the summer of 2020, they needed someone to do the unit field logs, which were on the Doctor Who YouTube channel, which essentially kind of functioned as a bit of a teaser trailer for the show. And they said, will you play a unit scientist in the trailer? And I sort of extorted the part from them there. I said, yes, I will do it if it means I can be in the actual show. Ah. And they sort of said, well, that's one less actor we have to worry about with auditions. So, yeah. Extortion was essentially a hard one. That worked. Nice. Unlike James, I'm here on merit. I play William Shakespeare, and I had a little bit of Shakespeare experience and had quite a bit of improv experience. And I think they chose me based on the fact that I could do both those things at the same time. That helps. That was basically it. I think it was just, that was the only reason they cast me. Can I say Shakespeare? Hoorah! All the lights are starting to turn on. At drama school, I did acting, but I did contemporary theatre. So it was a lot about devising work, creating new work, and creating work in very unusual spaces. And since then, I've worked on numerous immersive shows, everything from repeated sequences of like five minutes over again for three hours straight to big pieces such as Doctor Time Fracture. I did secret cinema, Stranger Things, which was really fun. Again, very chaotic, and sci-fi, because I'm a big sci-fi fan. I also used to work with a circus company, and we do immersive stuff with circus as well. They're called Shibari Circus. Circus, and they're very cool. Who did you play in Stranger Things? I was Joyce Byers. Oh, that's a good role. She's great. She's bonkers, but I love it. Much less experience in immersive theatre. I came on late to Secret Cinema's Shawshank Redemption. Did a bit on that. But otherwise, this is my first kind of real shindig in immersive theatre. What a first go it is. I know. I feel very lucky. For me, a huge challenge to just jump in and at times just improvise content that we haven't even necessarily agreed on yet. Is it even in world? The fear of getting things wrong, but obviously that is also the joy of it in the process, and you'll probably think the same, Jess, is that there's a lot of failing, but it's kind of failing and enjoying it because if you find out what doesn't work, then you soon find out what does work, and then you're onto a winner. I've done The Great Gatsby for a year and a half, Wolf Wall Street. It's been a large part of my career over the last 10 years doing immersive theatre. Well, no wonder you're here. And on those lines, how did you become part of the time-fractured family? Well, I just auditioned and had a lovely audition, and it's very rare that you have a lovely audition. Give us your best Shakespeare speech, and you're like, finally, sir. You don't know what you've unleashed. So I auditioned for it originally in October. It's a workshop, so you're improvising, you're giving a scenario. I think we were given a plant. This plant wasn't a plant. It was something else, and we had to interact with it, and we had an audience member with us, and the whole scene had to revolve around this plant, which was wonderful. You had to play a Doctor S character, or a unit scientist, or a unit soldier, or stuff like that, and it's just about being in the moment and just bringing the world alive. I wasn't an original member of the time-fractured family. The rest of the cast did all the rehearsal period, and they were starting their previews and everything like that. I think they got two weeks into previews. My agent called me up on a Friday night, around six o'clock, and they were like, I was like, okay, so I'm running around at nine o'clock at night, whilst doing a bar shift at the same time, trying to find a measuring tape, measuring myself in a stock room and everything like that. The next two days, I did two show watches, a costume fitting, 45 minutes rehearsal, and then went straight on stage. I've got a tight schedule. I need to stay put on this loud chair on the loudest floor I've ever heard in my life. It's so loud! Come on, everybody! We need to get through the fracture! I came along, had an audition. I auditioned originally for the Leonardo da Vinci track. It's in the advertising, it's fine. It's in the poster, right? Didn't have a great audition, personally. Really? I didn't think. We actually ran in here, and they were like, right, you're in charge of this facility, go! Like, improvise. Oh, did you have the audition here? Yeah, so the auditions were in that area there, which begins with G, that we can't say. They were like, no one's seen this, come in here quickly! And I was like, okay, just, you're in charge, go! And I just had to sort of improvise that this was my workplace, I was in charge. Two days later they were like, all right, we'll have him. We do an all right job. You can tell, you can say. Well, it's fine. But, um... It's fine. The show's fine. It was, you know... It's this fine show. It's all right. It's all right. I have notes. No. I want to know more about Sam shouting at the plant. I did an audition before it started. So I feel like Simon says I've been here since the beginning. Not a brag. Not a brag. The audition that I did again was terrible, only because I did it at my place of work which was during lockdown. And it was in a rum company's like, storage area. It was very strange. And it was over Zoom and just running around like this packing area with just bottles of booze everywhere. It was like something out of an episode, to be fair, because it was just so strange. And the decor, I actually auditioned for an alien. Yeah. And I'm not going to say which one. Yeah. And a Time Lord guide. And I didn't get that. I got something completely different. Very quickly, Proviso, they don't only employ terrible actors. I'm Tom Franchers, resident casting director. You have me to thank for, as you've seen on social media, some of the Doctor Who characters returning for some cameo appearances such as **** and **** But you'd be surprised to know how many Doctor Who actors were considered to return, many of which were actually auditioned. They'd be shouting at your screen. How bloody do you, mister? Not include every single Doctor in some description. You **** Sorry. I know it would have been amazing to see all the Doctors on screen at some point. It would have been, well, God tier, if I had to put a label on it. But hopefully, through this compilation of audition videos, you can see why we didn't use them. **** It'd be a pleasure to see you, Matt Smith, at your service, ready for this audition. Look at you all huddled together behind the camera, like penguins. Oh, love a penguin. You know, the last time I saw a penguin was in London Zoo. Matt! We were loving the energy over here, but please stick to the script. Sorry, right, yes. I do go on a bit, don't I? You're not wrong. Oh, it reminds me of that time I was filming Victory of the Daleks I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. But what is this script? I would never say any of this stuff. David, you have said that about literally every line so far. Well, maybe get some writers who actually know their 10, eh? No, I've got to go. I'm in about 50 other projects that I've been in anyway. See you in the 60th. I'm so excited for this. Thank you. Thank you for this opportunity. The fans are going to go bananas. Okay, everyone, that's lunch. What now? Sorry, Paul. Maybe another time, eh? Um... Mr. McCoy, could you just say the lines, please? Time for... There was this terrific day where Nick Briggs decided to take all his clothes off and run around screaming Help, I'm a darling! Oh, here's a fun spoiler for you. You can't tell anyone this. I'm going to be playing the curator next year, my own version of the curator as well as about 50 million different versions of this. So, yeah, quite exciting, isn't it? Don't tell anyone, though. Highly classified. Colin, this has been recorded and Nick Briggs is actually heavily involved in the show. He's going to kill me! Before we get started, tell me, did you add that cricket segment like I requested? We couldn't fit that in, I'm afraid. It's a tight space. Oh, darn. Oh, very well. As long as you removed that character that dresses like a fake me, we're all good. I quit. It's disrespectful as what it is! Mr. Baker, what are you laughing at? Tim's fractals. Jack is a very funny man. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, I said no to the 60th, I said no to Big Finish, but this, this I said yes to. So prepare for my 16-hour mon... Who let Peter in? Call security. How does he keep getting in? I'm Jack Green, so I'd like to audition. Get out. Okay. That's enough about me, though. How are all of you? Oh, I'm alone. I'd better let myself out then. Out of the shadow, Martin! It was a cast member's birthday party, so exuberance was had a little bit. I'm going to change the subject a little bit about the characters, because you can play multiple characters. I didn't realise this until I think I saw your Instagram story. Because the show is broken into what we call waves, so waves of audience in order each space can hold up to around about 150 people in order to have multiple audiences over a night. We have three waves in a show. So if you're doing two shows in a day, like a matinee and an evening show, that would mean six waves of audience. So you're doing the same character six times, which can slightly turn you a bit mad. Each person has two characters, and we swap each show, so it keeps it really fresh. My primary two are Shakespeare and, at the other end of the scale, a Cyberman. That's one of James's roles. Which is Captain Stephen Davis. For those of you out there who are fans of the series Torchwood, Captain Stephen Davis is in the series two episode exit wounds. You don't actually see him, but it's that era of Torchwood, that sort of like 1800s with Emily and so forth. You meet Captain Stephen Davis kind of after his office has been split in two by the time fracture, and it's been partially subdued by, should we say, a more familiar iteration of Torchwood. There's a lot of fans of Brian Eudes. Tremendous fun. More and more people start to become aware of Brian actually having people actually seek you out and go, are you Brian? You should really confuse him one day and go, no. Not I. You're thinking of a different Odin attacks. You might have to beep these for spoilers, but you also cover and in the next contract I shall cover Davros as well. I think I'm okay for Davros, but definitely can't say that. I think you were that character when I came here because I've only been here the once and it was a few weeks ago. It's very possible. I am tonight as well, so yes, you shall definitely see me. Sam Hunt has, since I've been recording with him, convinced me to come tonight as well, so he's extorted me. I play Queen Elizabeth and a Time Lord guide. You are truly the master of the multi-rolling ones. For most of us we just play two and we alternate each night between them for multi-multi-rollers. I'm a twin, so I do have two main roles, which is George, who's a rhyming scientist and unit, or I play Scythe Man, but I cover, so I'm going to understudy for another... Hang on, let's go through this. Yates, Sullivan, Brian, Time Lord guide 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Daleks, about to take on the... Spoilers. The Gallifrey guide. Yes, there are around 11 characters in total. Good Lord! As you were saying, you're so experienced and you're amazing as he was just telling me all about this, you see. He just is. So what characters do you play? Just think about who's on the poster first. Think about who's on the poster. So on the poster you'll see a unit scientist wearing a lab coat. I play Doctor Courtney, who is the chief scientific officer of this unit facility. My other character I think I'm allowed to say... I'll bleep out. I play a Time Lord cardinal. The Time Lords are in this? No, I knew that. Their name is Tepeche. Or Tepeche, depending on who's playing the role. But my one is Tepeche. The Time Lords have different accents. If you're from Arcadia, you sound like you're from the north. I also play a Time Lord or a Time Lady. She's evil. It's great. It's really fun. She's a little snake. Is it better to play evil than to play good? Yes, I think so. That was a quick yes. Out of those characters, what are the funnest to play? I think Queen Elizabeth might just take it ever so slightly. People are brought to you and you sort of do this, do that, entertain me. Because it really is a mixture of like Poised Regal Queen and then Queenie. So it's sort of like Bloodthirst. Yeah, I like that. It's really quite fun. Is there a bit of Blackadder Queenie? Oh, very much Queenie. I certainly got the most enjoyment out of Captain Stephen Davis when I was first doing it. But then the more I've done Brian, the more kind of stuff I have managed to figure out and how to kind of squeeze the most fun from every kind of moment of the track. I go between them. Sometimes it just depends on what mood you're in. It sounds really strange but you could go in and have an audience member that is just so ready to have fun and listen to you but then then argue or agree or whatever it is and there and whatever you know, I love that. I really love it when you see an audience. Just understand what you're giving them and enjoy it. I am the same assignment to be fair, Fleet, but it really depends because I get different things from playing my different roles. My one that she shall not be named. Her name, I can say it, I can give a name. Her name is S. Hilder. She has the power of foresight. She is the reason or part of the reason why the Time Lords exist and they have regeneration powers. I'll say that. There's a lot banter and I like that. She's got a real little secret, little area that you can only be, you have to be invited into. Try and find it. When you're next here and you will be, go find it. I can't choose one. Well, I'm just going to slap a picture on screen and that's your favourite. Thank you very much. It's going to be the Queen. Everyone's trying to get in Queenie's dress. The amount of people are buying for that, they're like one day I'll... Well, before I leave do you have a favourite of your characters to play? I mean only one of them speaks. Fair point. Yeah, obviously Shakespeare is my favourite. It's fun being the Sidemen just... Is it based on the reaction of everyone else? Yeah, pretty much, yeah, because when you walk out there and people run fleeing from you it's really nice and then small children with some extra drivers try and stop you and then you can kind of make their day by being stopped by them. One of the most fun things on this show has been, so I used to also use a Dalek at one point as well actually sit in it and pilot it. I don't think that's a spoiler. Yeah, there is nothing more fun than when you're in a Dalek and an audience member doesn't think they have been seen and then you just swivel the ice dog around and just tush the number of screen, yeah, just delightful fun because I'm a sadist. When I was here last, the Dalek came out and I was fully looking the complete wrong way. I was pacing like a horror movie where someone was tapping me on the shoulder like look around and I was like what? Hello, it's good to see you. Thank you for joining me for this little chat, a little catch up post-operation time fracture and thank you again for saving the world. It was very kind of you. I saw a radio as well. I did twice as well. I'll make sure you get knighted for that one. Fantastic. We're all about improving ourselves. We hate to be stuck in the past. Make sure that it's all gone according to plan. Nothing's gone wrong. You haven't grown any extra appendages since your visit, I hope. But not to my knowledge, no. I've kept a perfectly good eye on myself and frankly everything seems to be perfectly fine. We understand that you went through the operation time fracture. Thank you very much for doing that. So we're just doing this little brief just to explain for you to me what happened. Quite low on the scale. Unfortunately I missed it. But I've been tasked by my superiors to get some information from you lot in the field. It's an absolute pleasure. It's always good to talk to such an esteemed scientist. Thank you very much. Do you mind stating your name for the record, please? Gary the word. Is that first middle and surname? Hi, I'm Abby. Rory Stock. Rory Stock. And is that with three Ks? No, just the one just the one end testing. Rory Stock. Samuel Davis. Davis, not Davies. Not to be confused with Russell T. Who is a, I know just you know, I mean you wouldn't know who Russell T is. No, of course. The name escapes me. James Wold. Pestic and is that with five L's on the end there? You can make it five L's if you want. It's a unit. We can do whatever we want. You were a guest, but I go by Raston Productions. Oh, you have a co-name. That's quite interesting. Okay, I'll jot that down. Dom. Is that Q S T Am I getting that right? Yeah, you're getting that exactly right. I do want to help you cut the job, son. Well, that's rude. Anyhow. As you are aware, you went through the fracture. It was very exciting. We couldn't have done it without you. Our unit scientists, you get a bit crazy. Were you treated well during your time here at Unit HQ? Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, despite you know, all the hassle that was going on, they did their best to explain everything. Staff review. It's all thumbs up here. A very stressed collection of people I found. I understand the circumstances. They were running back and forth. My first interaction there, the second where I was allowed off the leash and allowed to talk to some of your fine scientists. It was this actress and actress. The second I spoke to her, she turned around, like I'd actually disturbed her from her actual work and it was just, that was it. That was the second I was like, right, okay, I've got to take this seriously. Some people just think it's a joke. It's quite rude. They made sure to accompany me whenever I was on my own, send me in directions to Merceded, link to interesting story points. I feel sorry for one person who I was working with because they're little they had to wrap up this giant list of names and the scientist was not kind to him but otherwise, all the scientists all the unit personnel were very kind and considerate. No chance you've got his name with the list of names? I can't remember. It was quite a while ago. That's all right. It's a shame because we would have reprimanded him, maybe wiped his memory, sent him to Hull or something. Everyone was very attentive. Everyone was just going around escorting all the civilians and making sure nobody touched something that they didn't and caused the unfortunate obliteration of the world. It's good to hear. We've had mostly positive except for the ones who have been lost, but we don't talk about that. And if you talk about that, you will be well, that doesn't matter. It's in the fine. I'm sure they're all fine. Through the fracture itself, obviously we had to stay here at HQQ. We have lives to get back to. You're all liable. Very brave. Was there any sort of unique antics related to you specifically? Any certain creatures coming up to you at all? A lot was going on and I have to say don't blink. Oh, I see what you're doing there. That's very good. I've got that down. This kind of surreal version of the past where I met loads of different historical figures like Elizabeth Queen Elizabeth, of course. Which one? Queen Elizabeth I. The first? I spent most of my time actually talking to William Shakespeare. The William Shakespeare? Oh my It's how exciting. How was he? A bit depressed, sadly. No. I'd love to talk about what's inside the time fracture, but as you can see here, I've got a legal document from a few people. Oh, you received that. I've got that. It says I can't... My family will be informed that I was fed to the Loch Ness if I share anything from inside. I was aware of a pig man and I was very eager to meet him. Oh, yes, yes. We've heard stories of this pig man. He does seem to be... What's the word? Oh, that's right. Mad Bantz. I found him a very threatening presence, yeah. I didn't trust him one bit. Daleks, I went into this sort of chamber, this dark room, and this guy named Dave was in there. This very Dave. I believe he goes by Davros nowadays. Oh my goodness. Lovely. Davros was lovely. Well, we had a wonderful conversation. Pig man. I've heard about this pig man. Bit of a swindler from what I hear. He offered me 50% and I never got him. Well, that is just ridiculous. We will have to send someone through to him to get through that 50%. Understandably, he had a bit of an accident, but still. So, I ended up coming face to face with the legend that is the creator of the Daleks, Davros himself. Oh my goodness. That's excellent. It was certainly not something I expected when I woke up that morning and suddenly having the fate of Earth and Scarow and the Dalek race being entrusted upon me. We all got taken to this other world and this weird marketplace had lots of different aliens some weird robot, postman looking thing. I almost died. Can I sue for that? I'll speak to HR. Rory, wipe mind, he knows too much about legal system. Brian the Oot, who is another player. Brian the Oot. Now, we've heard about this Brian the Oot. He's quite the character. What was he up to then? I love a bit of Brian. He was on a mission. What kind of mission? To find somebody. Very good keeping spoilers free. I like that very nice. Because if this footage gets out, that's me sacked. Okay, you met Brian, that's good. Is there any other characters you bumped into? Leonardo. Oh, the Ninja Turtle. Oh yes, the Ninja Turtle. Fantastic. Yep, the Ninja Turtles there. Good, excellent. His bandana. He handed me a prop, which I won't say too much about. I almost accidentally stole it. Oh well, that's not ideal. We need to keep that in the black archive, sir. I had to give it to you people at the desk after the experience. Don't worry, their minds have been wiped of that interaction so we won't be worrying about that getting out. Most of all, I just wish I'd gotten more time with him. I've tried to follow him around as much as possible, but his, whatever he was doing on the side was very tangential and not related to the core story. Trying to find a Kaplan package. Kaplan, yes, I believe he was in the trailer so I think we're safe for that one. Trailer. Oh, I've got one final question for you, Mr. Dom, and I'm afraid to say, you've been bamboozled. I'm not a unit HQ. I was not a unit scientist at all. You've been bloody bamboozled. We've met so many times. You absolute buffoon. Well, I'm actually also good. Oh no. As this is a Time Fracture special that I've been working with the lovely people at Time Fracture, it's entirely possible that some of the cast or crew or the creators are watching as we speak. So is there anything you'd like to say to them? I just want to say that Time Fracture is the best experience I have had in my life probably since, well, the Doctor Who experience. I fully intend on going as many more times as I can until the run-ins, basically. Very jealous of all legal jobs if you ever have any jobs going. It was a really, really fun experience. You were really all accommodating and I will be returning soon, which I look forward to as I've been for a very rough year and going to such an experience will be a lot of fun and I can't wait. It is definitely the closest we're ever going to get to being in the actual episode without, you know, signing in contracts or something to be part of the production crew. It's definitely got me more interested in a channel, trying to sound more clever than I actually am. I'm a single mum. He has high autism and they treated him so well. They interacted really well with him. They understood like, like he had his lanyard on. They understood his needs. That's why we're going back. Being an actor myself, I can massively respect how difficult improv is on the fly when everything is coming at you, various different people, all these different elements that could go crazily wrong and yet everyone seems to just take it in their stride, no matter what. As well as everything in terms of the set design and all the people that have worked on there will ever be tuned to the props, to the lighting, to everything like that. It is just an exemplary job and everyone has put their A-game into this experience. I just loved it to pieces. Both times I went, they've been absolutely phenomenal. So well done to everybody. And of course the story itself, brilliant writing. And as you heard there, Dom hated all of you. We'll never go again. I just want to say it's been a hell of a time and I would recommend to everyone who hasn't been there to go there, because it was a blast and you'll have a lot of fun. The Tamil Guides are just phenomenal. They are the highlights. Being able to look into someone's eyes and there's total conviction behind it. Thank you. And that is the end of the mini interview. Yes. I must know. In your short interaction with me, because I sent my CV and I got ghosted. But that's fine. I'm not bitter. Welcome to the world of acting. If there was a character in the show that would be open and I would be best at, who do you think that would be? The Doctor, obviously. Well I think, I think you would. I mean I feel you're trying to influence us with the scientist jacket. I'd say definitely like scientists. Yeah. But you've also got that fun energy of a time will guide. You're like come with me on an adventure. Doctor Yates Portrait Guide. That's your casting. Oh I could see that one. It has to double. So we could go unit scientists. We could also go. I see the beige chucks down the bottom there. Well done. And I see the quite tannish hairstyle as well. So we have these characters that are called Time Lord Guides. Who are Time Lords and their job is to guide the audience around. And they are in many ways they are like the Doctor. They're not the Doctor. They're not the Doctor. They're kinda like the Doctor. That confused me. Extremely copyrighted figure of the Doctor. If you bought the Doctor on Wish, that sort of piece. I reckon with the chucks and their hair we are pretty much. Does it help if I can do the voice? Oh yes. Everyone can do a bit of a tenant can't they? It's too easy. Your knowledge and love of the universe would lend itself very well to a time will guide. I think you'd do very well in unit with the lab coat already. But which scientist though? You'd be very good in the black archive as Doctor Shaw. Little bit crazy little bit you know scatterbrained maybe. I can do it in the Scottish accent. Can you? That'd be great. That'd be really good. I think you'd be great fun in court. Well I basically was in the court last time. Oh great that's right. To put it very bluntly as you two will know I was dressed as the 10th Doctor at the time. There we go. Oh yes. Yes. She loved it. I adore the concept of the Time Lord Guides in Time Fracture. It's such a clever idea to get the Doctor sort of in the show without having to put the Doctor in the show. It's genius. And probably the best part about it is how inclusive it allows the role of the Doctor to be because you can be any gender, any race. It does not matter. You can play a Time Lord Guide. And props to the costume designer for making the costumes for these Time Lord Guides. Doctor adjacent shall we say. It captures the aesthetic, the sort of silhouette of a certain Doctor's incarnation without having to be screen accurate. Bar the Rowan Atkinson Doctor but I mean you don't change what's already perfect do you? And because it doesn't go for the screen accurate route, you at home can make your own Time Lord Guide outfit really easily. Again you just sort of need the general shape, the idea of a Doctor's outfit. So here's my little challenge to you. I thought I'd make my own. After being told by the cast that I would make a terrific Time Lord Guide Time Fracture just saying you have my number. Despite me basically having the costume of every single Doctor, I thought I'd make a Time Lord Guide variant of well I mean, come on which Doctor do you think I'm going to go for here? Ayash! So come on this Time Lord Guide adventure with me as we put together Time Fractures, Time Lord Guide of the 10th Doctor. First things first, the most recognisable part of the 10th Doctor's outfit is the suit itself. Now you can go for a brown striped suit to be a bit more obvious but really it can just be a suit. For example this! Oh hang on there we go. Don't need to be seeing my bare chest. You can go with whatever coloured shirt you want. I kept the blue as you know the suit isn't the right colour so I figured I'd keep the right colour just to sort of trick the eye. Moving on, I know the 10th Doctor had a few variants without the tie but I mean, come on I thought I'd go with this one here it's not Screen Accurator as said before but it sort of vaguely resembles what he's worn before. It's kind of like a weird version of the one worn in the 11th hour and end of time. I know you wore it in other episodes but that's what I most recognise it from personally. So already we can probably tell that I've got a bit of a 10th Doctor thing going on already. Probably the hair helps. But again, if you want to be a 10th Doctor and you're of a different race or gender to me, it still works because it's not the Doctor, it's not the 10th Doctor, it's Time Lord Guide. Moving on to the next thing James Lawrence when I was interviewing him pointed out my chucks. And you can even see in the interview that I had no idea what he meant at first. Turns out what he meant with these! You can wear any trainer really any colour but I've decided to go for the normal white converse. Again, I think it works as the suit is so out there it needs something to drag it back down. Like for example the one they use in the promotional material as well as in one of the trailers is the 5th Doctor variant of the Time Lord Guide. And the coat is completely different as you'll be seeing on screen. But it's still got that very obvious 5th Doctor jumper so that's kind of my version with the shirt and converse combo. Now of course you could always stop there. You've basically got it down packed but I want to add one last little thing to get the full 10 Time Lord Guide in full effect. And that is of course the 10th Doctor's famous long trench coat which I do have but again, we're not going for screen accuracy here, we're going for the vague idea of the 10th Doctor. So my girlfriend actually has this brown cream jacket here which I think will work a treat. As it's a woman's coat you know how the arms sizes are usually quite different. There we go! It sort of looks like what the 10th Doctor would look like in The Sims. And there we have it. This is my version of a 10th Doctor Time Lord Guide. I don't actually know if they have a 10 Time Lord Guide in Time Fracture at the minute. I don't have a picture of all of these but I'm going to tell you which ones I've seen personally just so you can go and find them. I have seen a 5, I have seen a 4 I have seen a Rowan Atkinson and I've seen a 7 and I believe I've seen an 11 but it could have been a 2. It's kind of hard to tell. So go and find them and if you see any more leave it in the comments below because I want to see if they have a 10. On the tracks of like the kids playing with the Sonic and all those little funny moments one thing I've come to understand is as an actor it's all about making just the guest's day in their own special way. There has got to be some ridiculous either behind the scenes stories of like rapid changing in costume or interesting guest stories where they're like either too into it or they're not into it enough. So tell me what's some favourite story. I can see the smiles growing as we say. Still being kind of course. Of course they're absolutely. I can definitely think of this one happened quite recently and was just glorious where I was full on serenaded with a song by Enrique and Glacius like sort of um I will be your hero baby and like this was to the queen and he was like I am a master singer and songwriter and here is a song of my people from Enrique and Glacius. From my people. Yeah he was endowed as a lord of such a land and so he really got into this part and was just fully committed. Well did the queen like it? Oh very much. Oh yes I loved it. He kept his head. Every time we get close to the spoiler thing I'm not going to say what it is but there's something on the left side of me not Jess. There's something on the far left that I'm so worried is just going to inch closer to me you two know. You can't well we can't say. Exactly. It's usually one of these or a f*** isn't it? Did you get attacked by? I've only been here once. Thanks for the spoiler. I think I am going to have to run this through PR. My favourite story is we were doing a show and I will try not to spoil it but I was in act one I was in unit and because of what happened the scientists went into act two and went into act three and followed a lot of the audience through the show and it was lovely. We were a bit understaffed but it meant that we had more people and more fun and more people to talk to and I mean we had a way a lot of time. Yeah we felt a bit like school children. That was really good fun. It's when the unit scientists managed to make their way through the time fracture into the rest of the show when the audience went through the time fracture spoilers. I think that's a given. Some of the three scientists went with them. I was a time guide at that point which was amazing because then we sort of had these handovers of audience members that the scientists had been with over to me and you can just really play some beautiful parts. There was this girl her name was Beth which was amazing. I was like Beth. We both had pig tails and we were like mate I've just been exploring I've come from Queen Elizabeth's Court and she went pulls up her shirt and she's got like all the Tudor Kings and Queens in Queen Elizabeth and I was like I know where I'm taking you and because you know the timings of this show like that came straight into Queen Elizabeth's Court as the Queen is coming out so she's presented and we get messages from each other from backstage so we kind of we know who to look for maybe to have these moments with people and Charlie who was playing the Queen had had this note about Beth so was able to address this small girl with her name and have this little moment and this girl was just and was curtsying it was the sweetest thing in the world. For some reason people come into my room as Shakespeare they come into my room with a lot of like their personal research that they've done and occasionally there'll be some very sort of this lovely silverhead woman and a Pashmina who knows a lot about Shakespeare and I was uttering some people out of my room and she turned around and confronted me quite gleefully I was like so what was it like when you got done for poaching? Well what was it like? I didn't know I was just a bit that I started improvising and being upset about it being annoyed that I've been caught with a trout down my britches Ah yes swiveling her wine Yes you're in trouble now actor I do get a lot of wine swivelers it's really true there's a very serious attitude that happens it's a real season ticket to Stratford type If I can come around tonight I'm going to try and hunt me down I'm going to google some Shakespeare facts You won't find me tonight I'm swiveling that tonight See if someone in the show tonight just yelling Shakespeare trivia at a cyber man To be or what One of my favourite things to ask is Brian who obviously for those that know the character will know that he relishes his role as an assassin and one of my favourite things to do is to ask my group your preferred methods of assassination and quite often they'll say blaster or dagger or something like that There was one child who was probably too small for me to be even asking this question now that I think about it but this can't have been older than 7 came out with the most violent, terrifying genuinely bone-chilling method of assassination I've ever heard and even I as Brian was genuinely terrified and I said to the grown-up that this person was the person, excuse me is this your son yes yes congratulations your progeny is quite the fledgling psychopath I imagine you are very proud and his teachers are very worried and I have never forgotten it since it will haunt me until the day I die it was involved this might not even go on the channel you're going to have to do a lot of bleeping here but it was to do with making them drink to the point where they would all over their clothes and also on the floor you then and then the and then on the and they basically Doctor Who Brian audience member you have successfully traumatised me all the respect in the world to imagine if he does watch that and he just comments like good in act 2 there used to be a real-life stream of London with water, a real-life stream going through the whole act and because it wasn't very fast-moving water, when I say not very fast-moving it was hardly moving, it looked like perspex so a friend of mine came to see it and she was, she'd been given a task in act 2 to sing a song to a member of royalty and she jumped up onto what she thought was pull-up perspex but jumped into the stream and then realised that it was water and then was just like, sod it and we went into singing in the rain and I was like, wow of course it was you we do have a very fun kind of intercast game called odds on or what are the odds is that like bingoes? kind of, so I would say to you something like right, we're about to have an audience come in what are the odds you do it in a different accent now obviously we're never going to do anything that's going to ruin the show ruin the enjoyment, that's the rule that has to just be a bit of fun so probably a different accent might be a bit too far but you try and pretend that you can't get into your desk drawer or something and you make a big thing out of it and I would say something like, ok the odds are 10, 10 to 1 and we would have to pick a number between 1 and 10 and if we get the same number we have to do it one of the cast members lost odds on the other day, Harry and he had to say strawberry trifle somewhere, within a very pomp, pomp, pomp, pomp as a time lord as a time lord goes nowhere near strawberry trifle very very well, very very well you're turning the universe into a strawberry trifle in the last episode I gave you 4 images, these 4 that are on screen currently and I asked you to do whatever you wanted with them, you could recreate them you could edit them and you sure did I've got Gemma, hi Gemma I've seen them all, you have not seen any of them so this would be quite funny to go through so look away as I get the first one now there's a man called Lord Matt Mills who did about 4 different edits so here's the first one, that's pretty good oh that's really good you think you were there, it's a little tiny hair bit yeah the hair is really tricky to edit too so that's very impressive now the next one the next one is a bit different what do you think about that Gemma I look like Peter Griffin if he was bald bear in mind I wasn't wearing those glasses in the picture, I wasn't wearing any glasses in the original picture I don't know what to say that's not you, let's start my house I mean that's my body yeah but that's sometimes his head on your body next I mean that's the windows background I remember that as my background I'm deeply concerned I'm so confused, that's my favourite picture of you the one that's like 3 of them that's the other one he made I think I'm in the 11th Doctor's TARDIS I think that's his console in the back so again he's very good at cutting them out and sticking them to other things who do you think I'm calling there for help have you got 14 yet I think I'm in for a shot the next one is made by a man called Alexander and here it is that's pretty cool I'm regenerating it's a stunt look at the texture though it looks like it's been painted it does, I am the Mona Lisa that is artistic very different that's the fun part and the next one the next one is made by Dalius turn back another regeneration one they just don't like you we need to make him anyone else we love you Jack but like anyone else good stuff Dalius thanks mate there's that from Gary the Word what are you looking at now note the famous catchphrase of the absorbal off taste like chicken do you remember who played the absorbal off what's his name the comedian well remembered just so cool this should have been Aliya's face could have seen you the darlings that is Josh that is good that is custom that's my old wardrobe they got the colour of the wall right that's the side of the bed that's also in frame I don't know there's some kind of not system programme that's really cool that makes me want one I'm going to be asking you for a custom one now I will be next one by pair crazy is certainly an attempt to a 2020 question mark see I'm glad he didn't put 2022 cause that makes it assume I've died this is Hartnell I guess which makes that Pertwee and this Trouton 100% I mean you've used all of the pictures it's perfect you've dribbled out doctors Jack's in all lower case it's perfect you can barely see years that's the last one which do you think is your favourite I can't give a favourite you have to pick a favourite I'll pick a favourite Josh that is excellent although Alexander's was really cool I did like that I did like the first one yeah I was very impressed around the hair I'm impressed with that and I never want to see bald me ever again if I see it again I will shoot it stop it I've already got a receding hairline thanks family jeans next segment please it's time for me to set you a new challenge I love a challenge you may be wondering why am I still in the time at lord guide get up well that's because it's your challenge to do essentially a closet cosplay of a time lord guide so picking any of the doctors whether it be one of the numbered ones one of the timeless ones like the war doctor or the fugitive but I know a lot of you are avid cosplayers already you probably have a lot of the screen accurate stuff so I am limiting you to one screen accurate piece so for example my time lord guide there's nothing really up here that's fully screen accurate except for the chucks so to reiterate you must create a time lord guide costume and if you are already a cosplayer you must only use one screen accurate piece of clothing I'll be going through all the submissions in the next episode of the community show which will be a cosplay centered episode but you'll be hearing more about that soon get to work guys I look forward to seeing your submissions bye bye well thank you so much for coming I mean you're here to work anyway I'm just barging in it gets me out of home to what the dog it's nice well I do have a little gift for you oh that's what the bag is for oh my goodness you absolutely superstar thank you so much thank you I forgot to film the editing which is very good because our show is absolutely loaded with these drinks can't wait for you to see the show again I'm very excited absolutely come like annoy us and try and put us off if you see these actors reminder, Jess Simon just go up to them and call them their real names really throw them for a loop and see don't forget to like and subscribe thank you so much like share and subscribe you bunch of huns just doing it now sir hello viewing audience well I suppose you don't really need to know that but as you've been unfortunately watching Jack Reeves as you know him came to our base of operations and encountered a Dalek there's no point in dancing around what you've all seen you see we invited him to take part in operation time fracture like many others in the past but unlike everyone else this individual appears to be an idiot he actually arrived a day early so a few other experiments were taking place no one else was on site so he just sort of somehow waltzed into this top secret organization that we run and he can't do that Dalek he was a silly old so oh he's not dead by the way sorry I should have mentioned he's completely fine as far as we know but here's why I'm speaking to you from the security footage that wasn't exterminated thanks Dalek we appear to have seen him run from the site in quite hurry I might add so with that being said Unit HQ is putting a bounty on the head of Jack Reeves we believe he has vital information about the time fracture that for whatever reason he is not sharing with us and the fact that he encountered this Dalek inside Unit HQ and isn't dead it seems to point to him being in leagues with the Daleks possibly Davros too you may understandably think this is a ludicrous thing to do but think about it he encountered the Dalek and did not die he has spoken to multiple people in the time fracture team offering all this insider information 30 maybe points to him terrified of Daleks, terrified of weeping angels Yace, Sullivan, Brian this one happened quite recently and was just glorious Captain Stephen Davis kind of after his office has been split in two by the time fracture modules that can slot into these beautiful things that I'm pre-arranging and as far as we can see is now on the run now I may not have a criminal psychology degree I'm merely the HR representative at HQ, hence why unfortunately you saw me speaking for those previous time fracture operatives I was trying to see if anyone else had any of the insider information look that's not the point the whole reason you're seeing this at all is because of this bounty if any of this information about operation time fracture gets out any of these spoilers as people dubbed them there is a tear in time and space we have managed to contain it as best we can but say any more Daleks get in Cyberman for some reason big men stay on track, stay on track, you'll find if you have any information about this Jack Reeves character if you see him at all you need to get in touch here is my work email a very real email and I will be replying to any messages I receive if you capture any footage any images, any whatever with this Jack Reeves I need to know we need to track him down and bring him in before he can go into hiding Brigadier Courtney has theorized with his previous activity on this here YouTube channel that he will assume a new identity with some sort of silly voice, silly character maybe a silly pair of glasses I don't know and will hide and if he does this before we find him we may never find him so I repeat if you have any information if you see this character email here shall we say Operation Time Fracture is still going strong but we need more operatives if you would like to come to Unit HQ and help us with Operation Time Fracture a link to our website is in the description and especially if you've come before you will have the experience you will help to crack down on this fracture maybe one day we can finally close the damn thing we know that there are some amazingly talented people out there we need your help this has been Unit HQ signing off good luck
