The shades were specifically for the Magician’s Apprentice, where the Doctor needed to have a device in Davros’ sick room, which couldn’t be the screwdriver, because Davros would recognise it. He kept them for a while to annoy Clara. Apparently.
A writing tip from Jamie Mathieson is to
just keep writing things down. Eight out
of nine times it will be rubbish, but the ninth time makes up for it. (Readers of this blog may feel that he has underestimated the amount of rubbish that can be generated.) As with the 50th , there was a
signer on stage, though fortunately no one had cause to mention Nicola Bryant’s
cleavage this time.
A deaf member of the audience made a point of thanking Toby Whithouse for
including a deaf character in Under the
Lake/Before the Flood. I think the great thing about this was that it wasn't just tokenism - the scene where Cass was being followed up the corridor by a ghost dragging an axe was the creepiest part of an otherwise creepy story.
Peter Capaldi was asked about the question mark underpants (as I believe he had been asked at previous sessions). He claimed that the costume department provided question mark boxer shorts for him that day, but wouldn’t say whether he wore them. I didn’t believe a word of it. Michelle Gomez was just as mad in real life as the roles she plays in Green Wing and Doctor Who.
Some of the questioners from the
audience took the opportunity to deliver a speech rather than ask a question. I have noticed this 'ego trip' type of question at academic conferences as well. I find it annoying.
At the end, Peter Capaldi
presented Jenna with a huge bouquet.
