Behind the Scenes of Planet of the Dead - Part 20

Excerpts from Doctor Who The Complete History:

While shooting took place in Cardiff, David Tennant was attending the Radio Times covers party at Claridge’s in London when he was approached by Lee Evans, who eagerly explained that he had been cast in Doctor Who at three days’ notice.  David returned to a sodden Cardiff in the early hours of Wednesday 21 to start work on Planet of the Dead, commencing with a special hour-long rehearsal session with Michelle Ryan conducted by James Strong from 4pm at the St David’s Hotel.  The main shoot was scheduled from 6pm to 5am back at the Butetown tunnel, with Doctor Who Confidential and BBC Interactive present… plus David kept his own video diary updated during the rain-lashed night, chatting to Tracie Simpson and John Bennett among others.
