Entrevista a uno de los productores de Doctor Who

En SFX publican una entrevista a Phil Collinson, productor de Doctor Who sobre el especial de navidad de este año. Advierto, la entrevista está llena de spoilers…

SFX: Last time we saw the Doctor the TARDIS had been hit by the Titanic. So on the face of it you might think this Christmas special isn’t gonna be Christmassy, because the Titanic sailed in June… so is it Christmassy?

COLLINSON: “It’s jam-packed with Christmas – it’s full of it! So it does feel very much in the spirit of all our other specials. It’d have to be really, on Christmas Day – I think it would be odd if they were basking on the beach somewhere, y’know! I’m a traditionalist, I think you’ve got a bit of Christmas about it, a bit of snow somewhere and some tinsel and some angels and a Christmas tree thrown in there and a bit of Santa Claus, and we’ve got all of that.
“It’s Christmassy because it’s not the real Titanic. It’s a spaceship that’s full of aliens and is hovering above Earth and they’re doing a bit of an experience cruise to the planet Earth, basically, so they’ve built their spaceship to be a replica of a famous Earth ship. And they beam down onto the planet secretly and have a little look round and stuff so… yes, it’s their Christmas cruise and they’re celebrating an earth Christmas. It’s a theme cruise.”

SFX: Has it got anything in common with the James Cameron movie, apart from the obvious?

“What, do you mean have we ripped the script off or something? (laughs) We don’t need to do that! It’s startlingly original. I mean, it’s flying above the Earth, you man – what you talking about? Completely different!”
