The Doctor
Once a Voyager on a Cursed Sea
مقابلة مع Ben Wheatley تكلم في جزء منها عن شغله على الحلقتين من السيزن الثامن:
What's it like working with an actor who is basically trying to discover the mannerisms that will become his calling cards for the rest of his career as a Time Lord
Ben Wheatley: With someone like Capaldi, he's a massive Who fan. He knows Who inside out. And everything he does is very, carefully planned and thought about. I remember when they first started talking to me about doing it, and I was very nervous for just those reasons. How do you shape this performance?
But then when I heard who was going to do it — when they told me it was Capaldi, [I thought] that's not really a problem. He's so good. I was relieved, pretty much. It would have been a very different situation if it had been another kind of Matt Smith character. A guy who you don't know. Molded from the start. But with Capaldi, you look at his career and you look at his performances they are all so brilliant, and all so different as well. It was a lucky break for me, I think that.
It was something I sought out. I got my agent to kind of badger them about doing, because I was a fan as a kid. But also because my kid was a fan of the show and I wanted to make something that he could see, for a change. That was it. And it's been very geeky indeed. Going into the TARDIS, I held the Sonic Screwdriver the other day, and that was a particular thrill. All sorts of stuff. Also stuff I can't talk about, that's been very, very exciting for me.
I think it's exciting to get an actor with such gravitas when he's on screen. Sure he's being silly but he's still kind of a little scary. And it's fun to read that he was getting paired up with you, especially when you read people
on the internet worried about you making the series too dark. But why not make it a little darker? There's always been a little darkness in the Time Lord.
Ben: Oh yeah, Doctor Who is pretty dark, I think. Generally it's dark, it's always been dark. Even in the more modern ones. If you look at the Tom Baker stuff, it's especially dark. When he leaves Leela — who's a very beloved assistant — he just laughs after it. There's none of the [breaking down and crying]. He just laughs, and "on to the next one," you know. It's a bonkers show. It's a monster. To have a unity that runs eight years [of the new series]… it's pretty crazy. They've done everything, they've tried all sorts of stuff.
It seems to me the episodes that we're doing now seem more like classic Who. We're going back to that style. But you'll have to wait and see.

لا أعرف ما إذا كان الماستر قد صار على Gallifrey فعلاً أم أن الحدثين قد ألغيا بعضهما البعض، وهذا من ثغرات حلقة الذكرى الخمسين الواضحة. عموماً، من غير المُجدي النقاش حول ثغرات أي شيء، لأنهم في النهاية سيفعلون ما يريدونه، بغير اكتراثٍ لأي قواعد. بخصوص القرصان، أعرف هذا. لكن، ما الذي يمنع أن يزوروه في مرحلة زمنية ما كان حياً فيها؟ أليس هذا المسلسل مليئاً بالحبكات الزمنية والعودة في الزمن وما إلى ذلك؟
أحداث ال50th ما غيرت من أحداث The End of Time كونهم يحصلوا في زمن شبه متوازي، القنصل الأعلى تكلم عن حصول الدكتور على The Moment في The End of Time،
و قنصل الحرب في ال50th تكلموا عن فشل خطط القنصل الأعلى و راسيلون مع نقص متعمد في المعلومات بما إن واضح القنصلين مو قاعدين يتعاونوا مع بعض.
أما The Corsair، فننتظر و نشوف... و لو ودي لو الدكتور يرجع لسوزان لحلقة بما إنه وعد إنه بيرجع، و بما إن Carol Ann Ford ما زالت حية
