Look, this will be his agent, I guarantee it.
OK, I had a call from my contact.
I know he filming dates and I've got a plan.

Well, that's perfect, 'cause that fits in with the other one, right? Yeah, excellent, excellent, listen by the way, not that I care at all, but you haven't hard from the BBC about that Doctor Who Special, have you? Nothing at all.
No no, it's OK.

Damn.
Do you think we should call Tom? - Call Tom? Why? - Well, he might want to join the team.
- Tom? - You call him then.

- It was your brilliant idea.
Oh for heavens sake, I've eaten possum anus on live television.
Can't be worse than that.
I'll call him.
Greetings, greetings, greetings.
Well I seem to be stuck in the sodding time vortex, again! So I can't assist you.
This is one of the many regrets of my life.
Good-bye my dears.
Whatever it is you're planning.
I'm in.
Work permitting, obviously.
I'd like to get more involved, but tomorrow I'm flying to Newzealand.
- I'm filming on The Hobbit.
- Oh, you're in The Hobbit? - I'd no idea.
- But when are you back? I don't know.
I mean sometimes I sit days and days in my trailer.
Oh get your priorities right, Sylvester.
I mean this is not some flash in the pan 500 Million Dollar picture.
This is important! I'd better be of home.
I'm expecting a special delivery.
- The package.
- Did you hide it? - No, I didn't think.
- Maybe he won't notice it? - He'll notice it.
- Oh yes! - Told you.
- Tada! One of my best.
You will love it! Many say, it's a classic.
Bought of course to replace the one, that strangely went missing.
Great news though, this one has extra features.
Even more of me.
You're waisting your time.
I've locked all the doors.
I warned you, this might happen.
He likes to keep us hanging around in case he has a moments inspiration.
Probably won't.
Yes, all right.
I will.
Good luck then.
Bye.
Oh, to hell with it.
Let's live dangerously.
Colin, we're on.
Thursday morning.
You know where.
- Sugar? - Ah, decisions.
- Will it make a difference? - What? - Every great decision creates ripples.
- In your tea? Like a big bolder dropping in a lake.
Sylvester, it you don't stop quoting yourself, I'll put you back on a plane myself.
It cannot be wrong, actually.
Oh, what's the use of a good quote, if you can't change it? - You're all right? - I don't know, I have this sinking feeling Sylvester! They're ready for you on set.
Sylvester? - Do you think we should join him? - No, leave him to it.
- What's happened to Paul? - Filming commitments.
Typical! - TV? - Don't start.
Oh dear Ian, there is a problem with Sylvester.
- Sylvester who? - McCoy.
A little bloke.
Bird poo.
He's just gone.
His trailer was empty, he's left a note.
Some garbled nonsense about Doctor Who.
The same old stuff.
It's like He's gone.
Is there any chance, Sir Ian, that you would you be able to do the scene by yourself? Well, I tell you what, Peter, I think it might be a slight improvement.
- Hi Peter.
- Hi John.

- John John - John! - John any Any chance of a lift to Cardiff? Hey guys, I can't.

What is the point? Why are we doing all this? - For the fans.
- Of course.
For the fans.
Right! For the fans.
Let's go.
Right.
Let's do it.
That's not right.
It's a bit busy, isn't it? I liked the old minimalist TARDIS.
Don't like all these stairs.
Much to energetic.
And what the heck are those things? Have they turned it into a helicopter? What's happened to all the lovely bright light, we had in the old days? I can't be doing this athmospheric lighting nonsense.
- I like to see what I'm doing.
- Look at this.
Look you lean on this nothing happens.
Doesn't wobble at all.
- I used to love the old wobble.
- Come on.

Settle down, studio.
And action! So, what now? (Smith: Ah, it's his grunge phase.
) Yes, how do we actually get in it? (Smith: He grows out of it.
) They're quite good, aren't they? (Tennant: Ooh! The desktop is glitching.
) (Hurt: Three of us from different time zones, it's trying to compensate.
) The thing is, I never really thought, we'd get this far.
(Smith: Hey, look, the round things.
