Behind the Scenes of The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith - Part Four
From Benjamin Cook’s interview with Nigel Havers (and David Tennant) from DWM 416
Benjamin Cook: Do you ever watch yourself on TV?
Nigel Havers: I haven’t for a long time. I still don’t know how to operate my bloody Sky Plus thing.

NH: Oh. We were talking about phones. Didn’t you say that you can cock yours and it fires - ?
DT: No, no, that’s Steven Moffat. He has everything on his iPhone. He can turn his into a lightsaber, he drinks pints of beer from it…”

NH: No. You see, when you’re filming, you’ve so much dead time, it gives you things to do.
DT: Yeah, it’s great. It’s a whole leisure centre! I’ve got a spelling game on mine
NH: Have you, David?

NH: Or the longest word in England
DT: I wouldn’t go that far. I’ll settle for antidisestablishmentarianism

This beautiful gown was first seen on Maggie Smith as Portia in the 1972 adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice for BBC’s Play of the Month. The costume was used again in the long running television series Doctor Who, where it was worn by Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith in the 14th season episode The Masque of Mandragora in 1976.
