My fellow Americans, this is President Richard Milhous Nixon,
and this
is Doctor Who Confidential.
BANG Doctor!
TELEPHONE RINGS
You're going to have to trust us this time. Trust you?
Fishfingers and custard.
CHILD: I'm scared Mr President. I'm scared of the spaceman.
There's nothing out there.
I'm pregnant.
GUNSHOT SHE SCREAMS
Hey, Confidential, where are we, Darville?
We are in Moab. We are. Which is in America.
We arrived when it was really dark,
so we couldn't really see any of the landscape.
Then we got up this morning and saw that!
Which is amazing. It really feels American.
It's because we're in America. I know, but some places don't feel that American!
Doctor Who Confidential are in the US of A.
The team has travelled Stateside to Utah to tell you the story
of how Doctor Who created their very own American dream.
Day one and the crew arrived to find the perfect backdrop
for the scene that says "America".
The director arrives at location
and the team discuss how they'll capture that monumental scene.
That opening shot has to be epic.
We wanted a location that said America like nowhere else
and these monuments are so identifiable. One shot, you know exactly where you are.
This is the country of John Wayne.
This is the US of A.
I'd like to start on the floor, looking at the floor,
then we come up and meet the bus as it's going past.
See the angle we're at with the road now.
Travel with the bus a little bit, then on to... Let the bus...
Let it go ahead, then reveal the monuments.
So, we got here yesterday. Yeah.
We got a big plane to Denver.
A big jumbo jet.
It took hours. Which was fine because it was a sturdy, beefy beast of a plane.
Then... Then, little to our knowledge,
we were getting on a rickety old...
19-seater plane with no real back.
Have you seen how small this plane is!
It was like a kind of tube with two...
It was so narrow, wasn't it? It was so narrow. Quite terrifying.
Me and Karen were sat by the emergency exit - basically a window.
Part of the plane you could pull off.
The handles were right there, beckoning me.
Yeah, slightly worried about that.
It was really weird because the cockpit was just tiny.
Absolutely tiny. There was no door, so you could just see the pilot
and it was just the pilot and the guy who was like the air steward,
and that was it.
But it was fun, I've never done anything like that before.
That's the moment when it felt like we're on a massive road trip.
It feels like were on a bit of an adventure. It does.
Arthur and are I are trying to take this in
because this is what Amy and Rory would have gone through to get to the Doctor initially.
The stage is set but there's a small problem - anyone seen the Doctor?
We've had to hire a charter plane to fly him from LA
to the nearest airport which can accept a flight at night,
which is still two hours' drive away.
So we've got to go and pick him up about 11:30 tonight,
from an airstrip in the middle of nowhere!
Then he'll be on set first thing tomorrow morning.
The poor guy's not going to sleep.
We're at that stage where all the planning has gone ahead,
we think we are there with the planning,
now we're just looking down that road waiting for trucks
that have been driving all day from Salt Lake City.
Our camera truck had a flat tyre in Salt Lake City,
so we're sitting here with fingers crossed.
Thankfully, the trucks start arriving and the crew get ready for the day's action.
"General announcement that there may be rattlesnakes
"under the stage brush, so...
"don't go pee without being careful!"
Every single year, you're trying to say
"How do we come crashing through the door this time?"
We said to Stephen, "What do you really want to do?
"What is the thing you can't do that you'd really love to do?"
And he came back very quickly with this idea
of setting the first two episodes,
starting the series with a two-parter,
a big juicy story the audience could get their teeth into,
and setting them not just in America, but in 1960s America.
If we are going to go to America let's do big American stuff,
something vast you don't normally see in Doctor Who.
Howdy, Confidential, and we are in the US of A!
Yee-ha! We start off with Amy and Rory and River Song
being summoned by the Doctor,
by these special blue envelopes, to a particular point on the map.
Howdy! Doctor!
THEY LAUGH
Look at you. Hello!
Come here. Someone's been a busy boy!
Did you see me? Hello, stalker.
Flirt! Husband! Rory the Roman, come here, you!
One of the things we wanted to do while we were here
was get American icons into the story,
so in this scene, the original script had a truck pulling up
and the Doctor getting out
but we wanted a way of getting another of those American icons in,
so Toby had the brilliant idea of swapping it for a yellow school bus,
which everybody knows from movies.
It's just another little bit of America that we can't get in the UK.
I didn't believe that we would be filming in America.
I thought they'd find some location that would stand in for Utah.
I just couldn't quite believe it.
It was just extraordinary. The light is different.
Here we go. Quiet, please.
'Obviously, the landscape is very different..
River's entrance had to be impressive.
At first, I didn't want you to see who she was straight away.
I wear a Stetson now. Stetsons are cool.
MAN: Bang!
And she makes her entrance as she likes to, by shooting a hat of the Dr's head.
She shoots the gun.
GUNSHOT
She blows the smoke off it.
Just as she does that, she blocks the sun from the camera and you see who it is.
Hello, sweetie.
River pretty much
in every episode has said, "Hello, sweetie."
And obviously... Spoilers.
It's quite fun, actually, to have a catchphrase.
Shout if you get in trouble. Don't worry, I'm quite the screamer.
Now there's a spoiler for you.
I was talking to Matt about River and he said what's so lovely
is she's got this flirtatious edge to her and I said, "Have I? Really? Me?"
Dr Song, you've got that face on again. What face?
The clever face.
This is my normal face. Yes, it is.
Oh, shut up! Not a chance.
Roll sound...
Alex. Everyone is flirting today!
River is just the biggest flirt in the world.
I guess she does have a flirtatiousness.
I mean, it's very easy to flirt with Matt because he's flirty, too.
She's in for a match this year, though.
What, from you? Yeah, all right!
Dr River Song, you bad, bad girl,
what trouble have you got for me this time?
I did slap Matt.
You couldn't fake it.
He was very brave and he just kept saying, "It's OK, just hit me."
So I was like, "OK, then." Whack.
But we had to do it so many times that he was starting to get really red cheeked.
And I could see him starting to get a bit cross with me as well,
because every time I hit him, I could see him go...
SEETHES AND SIGHS
Like that.
OK!
I'm assuming that's for something I haven't done yet.
Yes, it is.
I felt so bad, but at the same time I thought, "I've got to do it again, I'm sorry."
So he was a bit cross.
But he's got his own back in this episode.
I'm your new undercover agent on loan from Scotland Yard, codename the Doctor.
These are my top operatives.
The Legs, the Nose and Mrs Robinson. I hate you. No, you don't.
I, um, was described as Mrs Robinson.
These are my top operatives. The Legs, the Nose, Mrs Robinson.
LAUGHTER
And in a way, it's kind of, I guess, true.
The icon of all sexiness, Mrs Robinson.
Just because she is, of course, the mature and sassy woman
terrifying the hell out of our wise and ancient, but rather young-looking, Doctor.
Bless! She's funny, flirtatious, mad and she can fly the TARDIS.
River, have you got my scanner working yet?
Oh, I hate him. No, you don't!
I adore writing her. I have so much more fun when River's in the show.
River, make her blue again!
There are certain things you want to do. Where can you park the TARDIS?
Parking the Tardis in the Oval Office
was just ridiculously exciting.
I just walked into the highest security office in the United States,
parked a big blue box on the rug - you think you can just shoot me?
You're used to seeing the Oval Office and the police box,
but you haven't seen one inside the other.
Don't shoot! No shooting. No need to shoot us either.
Very much not in need of getting shot!
I remember being awestruck and thinking,
"Can we do that? Can we make an Oval Office?"
Michael Pickwoad said, "Yes, it's just a room."
There's an awful lot of pictures of it, there's enough references,
you can find measurements, and so we drew up the set, and built it.
Yes! Look at this.
What a set!
I think it's less that it's the seat of all power,
and more that it was regularly featured in the West Wing
that really made me excited.
I've actually been in the Oval Office.
Years ago, when I was still on ER,
we were taken around the White House and the Oval Office.
I wasn't expecting it to be as true to the actual room,
but it really was.
It's brilliant. Amazing.
It's accurately measured, so this is exactly to the plans
of the real Oval Office, the same size, the same height,
so it is actually this tall.
I love the colours, the carpets are fantastic.
There's even an eagle that they've done,
the same crest as inside the White House, set into our carpet.
What's really weird is when we put Stewart, who's playing President Nixon,
behind this desk and turned the camera on him,
he really does inhabit it really well.
I was always destined for this, I think.
I played George Bush,
I played Eisenhower,
but I've never actually been in my own Oval Office.
So here I am now, finally. And it's absolutely beautiful. Beautiful.
Family back there.
Meeting various people.
Over there is my Chief of Staff, that's his office over there.
Over there is my reception area, where my secretary is.
And that heads out into the West Wing.
It's absolutely astonishing, because it's as good as anything I've been in.
I know the plasterers had a nightmare.
Because it's an oval set and not a square room,
with a square set you can do two walls,
that gives you corners to stop the plastering,
then you can do the other walls
and the plastering has time to dry in between.
But an oval room, once the guys start, there's no stopping.
it's all the way in one coat.
Hence there's a team of four guys here today
who are going to do it in one complete go.
It's time for new leadership in the United States of America.
Richard Milhous Nixon.
Vietnam, Watergate. There's some good stuff too.
But there is this wonderful kind of delivery.
Every day, wherever I am.
I get a phone call.
Usually late at night. Man or woman?
Neither.
Listen.
And he was very loose with his mouth.
"Who is this?"
"This is President Nixon, who's calling?"
All the Ps, "presidency", would be the President of the United States.
This is a personal matter.
And, of course, because I'm wearing these fake teeth,
that was another challenge.
So I had to wear these for about a week or two
to get used to the fact that I've got this bridge here,
get used to getting my tongue around all the words
so that it didn't sound slushy.
But it was... To concentrate on it, you listened, you work on it,
you improvise and try to make it as much about Nixon as you possibly can.
It's all right,
I'm sending my best people.
This is Neill Gorton, he does all our special effects make-up.
But he's with us today because we're doing President Nixon.
We started off with looking at me.
No, your face is more that.
Two huge cheek pieces.
He had a very jowly kind of face, like that.
And the nose, of course.
Look at that.
What a fantastic proboscis that is.
The ears. It's just that little bit.
I've got these pieces behind me here
that push my ears out slightly.
His ears were magnificent.
Nice.
There you go, Mr President. There it is, Richard Milhous Nixon.
Well, the day usually starts with porridge, tea
and a bunch of meetings.
We're filming the White House scenes of episodes one and two,
but this morning, we're checking the special-effect shots for the Christmas special.
We've only got a few weeks before these have to be finished.
I come on set and we, er, do what we call the block-through.
Welcome to the White House.
Morning, Mr President. Morning, Tobes.
After the read-through, we do the block,
where I put all the actors in the positions I want them to be.
They play it out, I look at where they're standing
and think about where to put the camera.
OK, well, let's start off.
So Mr President, if you would like to step this way.
Mark, if I put you in that seat over there.
"This is President Nixon. Who's calling?"
I talked it through with my DOP, Stephan Pehrsson.
This way doesn't involve any special effects,
so it means we get moving and we get a leg on.
He sorts out his lighting and we always shoot one way first.
Normally we start with a nice, big, wide shot, and then break it down
into individual shots on each actor, so they each get a go.
When we finish a scene, what you think has been one moment,
for them, they've been running the scene 30 or 40 times.
While that's happening here, I'm about to go and check
on a green screen stage, another shot I'm doing for this episode.
Come with me. Let's go.
So here we are, we call this the old TARDIS stage
because this is where David Tennant's TARDIS used to be.
In this scene, we put Matt into a Laurel and Hardy film.
You're pulled in a hundred directions, but that's fun.
We need you to do a rehearsal just so you can give us an example...
Of this.
OK.
Best thing about directing is how much tea you get.
You just go, "Can I have a cup of tea?" and someone goes and makes it.
Got to be about that colour, there.
They've got to get it exactly right, the right temperature or I just...
Come this way, come on, come on.
You'll do five or six takes then when you see the right one...
See?
It's that magic moment when you see the perfect take,
because it all comes together.
Yeah, Toby's watching.
Toby? You want to try and get the eagle and the flag in.
That would be rather nice.
I don't ever get to say "action" because I don't have a radio.
Martin, the First AD, gets to say "action"
which is the tragedy of this job.
He's stripped me of my own authority.
But I get to say "cut" and that's the real power.
Good, and we'll cut there.
Cut. Good, excellent, nicely done, very nice, let's move on.
So we're going to push in from here. And then you lean forward.
Can you lean forward? That's nice.
Another good thing about Doctor Who is how many sets we get built.
I love seeing how scrappy it looks from the outside and then inside...
..you're in the White House.
I've spent a year doing Doctor Who, which is great.
I used to watch it as a kid and now I get to do it for real,
now I'm grown up.
It's the perfect job to do if you don't want to grow up.
Nice waving there.
Oh, that's great, that's good. How's the White House?
Going very well, very nice.
I'll pop over. Good, OK. We all good? Yeah.
Cool, OK, back over.
A lot of walking in this job. You never sit down.
Cut there.
Working very nicely.
Good stuff, let's do a close-up on Matt.
We'll get you stepping off a box. Let's take it slow.
It's a shot where the Doctor bumps into the TARDIS.
We planned to shoot it from behind glass,
but I've seen what he's doing on the floor and it's kind of funny anyway.
And getting a big pane of glass on set here,
that's going to take about 40 minutes to set up,
so you're constantly thinking about ways of getting more shots,
getting more for your money, more for your time.
Martin's my First AD.
Some of the questions I get asked, he can answer,
so I can concentrate on the shots I want, the performances I want
and what the script needs.
Best part of the day, lunch.
So we're back, we've had our lunch, it's always good
to get a first shot in quickly, get the crew moving again.
Something nice and wide here.
We've got three pages of dialogue to do in the last set-up,
so that's a lot of screen time for what little of the day we have left,
but what I'm getting is great and I'm really happy,
that's the important thing.
Let's, er, let's start you guys over there and then everybody is...
This is a viewfinder, this is how you choose your shot.
It's just a way of giving you what the camera is going to see later on
and what you'll show your audience.
As a kid, all I ever used to do was close one eye.
And then you're a film camera
and then you can just move around and do the move.
Why don't we come here?
That's fine, the TARDIS covers the chair.
We can set up this, this works for a lot of it.
It's like a wide, but then comes in. Look...
I mean, rattle off, give me an hour to do him
because you've seen how many words he's got to say.
Mr President, that child just told you everything you need to know.
But you weren't listening.
Never mind, though, cos the answer is yes.
Good, cut there, well done.
There we are, that's a wrap.
That's the end of my day on set.
Tonight, I'll go back... Thanks very much, thank you, thank you.
..I'll go back to my flat, and prepare for the next day
and the show goes on.
Steven just wanted a character, a monster
that was going to challenge all the other monsters
to being the scariest Doctor Who has ever done.
Who's that? HISSING
It was just a creepy idea I had once, I've always been slightly haunted
by the idea of memory and what memories were missing from you.
I was thinking how much of any given year I completely forget.
I remember. Amy? What do you remember?
I don't know. HISSING
SPOOKY NOISES
There's nothing out there.
The idea of a monster that you look away and you forget,
you don't know you've seen it, I think is so creepy.
No, please, you've got to stay back.
Back, honey? Back from what?
You see one and you are terrified.
But the minute you turn away or stop looking,
you've forgotten you've seen it.
All clear. They could have been there for all time, you wouldn't know.
I have to tell the Doctor.
Tell him what, Ma'am?
What they represent is a very, very much bigger deal.
Sorry, I don't know why I said that.
I can't remember a thing about them.
I don't know how important switching from serious to funny actually is.
I just know it's great fun to watch.
If you want the full roller-coaster of Doctor Who,
it should be proper scary, proper funny.
Lots of shows do one or other.
Very few go as blatantly as we do,
to be as blatant as having the Doctor starting naked,
appearing from under a lady's skirt.
You know, this isn't nearly as bad as it looks.
Then appearing upside down in that tunnel in World War Two.
Just to warn you, they're going to be dropping some earth through the hole.
OK. And action.
Doctor? Doctor, what can you see? Are we past the wire?
Are we in the wood?
Is the commandant's office painted a sort of green colour
with a big flag on the wall?
I think the answer is probably yes.
They're filming the very beginning of episode one.
They're filming a sequence in which the Doctor
finds his way into a prisoner of war camp in the Second World War,
and he sends a trick...
Sorry, sends a trick?!
Oh, look who it is. It's Beth and Piers, the executive producers.
Piers is just saying everything wrong.
Thanks for coming to set. Bye.
Thanks, Beth.
Amy and Rory are at home in their flat, reading a history book...
It's a sort of prequel to quite a, you know....
one of the darkest moments, well, the darkest moment of his life.
It's a very funny sequence.
The key thing is he's sending messages to Rory and Amy through time, which they pick up.
He's waving at them from history.
He's being deliberately ridiculous to attract our attention.
Are you watching this again? Yeah, I've explained the jokes.
DOORBELL
Do you really think he's trying to wave to us out of history books?
It's the sort of thing he'd do.
Here's our green screen stage, where we shoot this bit.
The green screen helps you get an edge around somebody
you can cut them out and put them on anything,
so we're putting Matt into a Laurel and Hardy film.
It's when they're both doing this.
So you're waving up front there and you go back and you join them there.
So it's da-dum, da-dum, da-dum...
That's pretty much it. You'll see yourself on the screen.
Shall we give it a go? Play it for me this way.
So you're coming up to the camera, Matt, you're doing this,
then you're going back... Doing the dance.
Like that. I hope you're recording.
Then you turn around.
In behind them, though.
So whatever that is.
See where the position is on him? We've got to get the camera up.
Shall we try it here? Just one second.
If you're the camera, I want you starting at the front of the frame
as if you've run up to the camera going "Hello,"
like that. Then you join into the dancing.
Give me the waves, that's the important thing, you're waving out of the telly at them.
When Stan's doing that
and then Laurel is doing that bit with his coat tails,
you could do your own version in the background,
doing something else, like that or something funny.
Or I can try and do the... I think that's...
They're each doing their own thing, so you want your own thing.
MUSIC
Two months ago. Two months is nothing.
He's up to something, I know he is. I know him.
What is it? Amy? A date, a time, a map reference.
I think it's an invitation. From who? It's not signed.
Day three. In America.
It's pretty cold. Here he comes.
Missing the good stuff right here. Oh, dear.
How's it going out there, Matt?
It's day three in... We've already done that.
I know, I felt a bit left out.
Come in, get in this shot, you.
It's wonderful, I've got to say.
You know, we've got these wonderful locations.
This place is, you've seen it for yourselves,
it's just devastatingly vast and epic.
Nearly fell on the seaweed there, well done, Confidential.
Yeah, so you know,
I think it's going to do something really brilliant
for these first two episodes
and sort of start us off on a grand scale, you know?
See you on the other side, dudes.
We're on Lone Rock Beach, which is a beautiful part of Lake Powell,
which is a huge body of water in Arizona.
In fact, it stretches across the state line into Utah as well.
In the scene we're shooting today -
and tomorrow as well, because it's a huge scene -
it's one of the kind of seminal scenes of the episode.
It's a really key moment for the Doctor's story in the episode
and across the series.
Of course, Stephen has packed in every element you can imagine.
We've got the four principal cast.
I'm just trying to get in shot here because your hair, Alex, there.
Oh, is that what it is?
We've got the first appearance of Canton in his older guise.
We've got an astronaut coming out of the lake, as you do.
An authentic Apollo 11 astronaut,
so we've had to get the suit specially fabricated.
It's an absolute replica,
right down to the design of the helmet and the badges on it.
Because it's coming out of the water
and their suits were designed to be used in space and not in the sea,
we've had to adapt it slightly. We've got a stuntman inside it.
Action. Doctor, what's happening?
You have to tell us. You're with me now. Whatever happens,
promise me you'll stay.
The first time we see Canton is on the beach, where the Doctor is shot,
and old Canton comes down and gives the can of petrol on the Doctor's orders.
We were very lucky to get Mark Sheppard's father,
Morgan Sheppard, to play that role.
The other actor is my son, Mark Sheppard.
Apparently, when they said "We're going to age you up for make up,"
he went, "No, I'll get my dad."
Say we give them five minutes, see if he delivers. Thanks, Canton.
So here I am.
Who's he? Oh, my God.
You all need to stay back.
Whatever happens now, you do not interfere.
There's no question that Time Lords can die.
The Doctor is running from real death.
He's not running from the possibility of a new body.
So if you kill him fast enough, then, yes, he won't regenerate.
The Doctor is now standing still, preparing.
So after you've said it and agreed to do it,
that's when you just stand ready
and go "OK, it's time now."
He's being reassuring. "It's OK, it's OK, don't worry, it's fine."
He then closes his eyes, puts his head back and waits.
The astronaut raises a gloved hand, pointing at him
and...bang, like that.
You know he's going to die one day. He's definitely out there.
One of the creepy things about Doctor Who
is it must occur to him as he wanders all over space and time,
his body is in a grave somewhere.
Then I see the guys.
Sorry.
Come back.
And then one last...
He really does die in that first scene and that really is him.
So I'm going to get my arms back, I look at you and I'm going to go...
Exactly. Action.
Hello. It's OK. I know it's you.
Well, then.
GUNSHOTS
No! We have to stay back.
Doctor!
I'm sorry.
He starts to regenerate
and gets shot during that regeneration cycle
so he doesn't live forever and he's not indestructible.
GUNSHOT
For all the kind of spacemen,
cowboys and sort of adventure that Doctor Who has,
at the heart of this was a very emotional kind of moment,
a true moment of a friend who's gone.
SHE SOBS
Won't wake up. You're dead.
It's not possible.
Whatever that was, it killed him in the middle of his regeneration cycle.
His body was already dead. He didn't make it to the next one.
Maybe he's a clone or a duplicate.
Doctor Song, I believe I can save you some time.
That most certainly is the Doctor.
And he is most certainly dead.
He said you'd need this.
Karen, who plays Amy, when we shot the scene, she was incredibly distraught.
Doctor.
SHE WHISPERS
I know it's a trick, so wake up. Come on, wake up.
SHE SOBS
Our hearts were in our mouths.
You almost don't want to say cut because she's crying so much.
It was very emotional.
It was very kind of, she was really acting her heart out out there,
and it just was, you know, we knew that it was powerful.
Almost too powerful and we had to pull it back.
I think it's good to see characters at that extreme.
We've seen them be happy and jolly. We've seen them have adventures.
We rarely see them - more often this year - facing the consequences
of that extraordinary lifestyle with the Doctor.
People do die. Sometimes it's be the wrong people
and sometimes it's the people you love.
We came here a couple of days ago and recced this place
and knew we had to shoot a scene at dusk.
We noticed the sun went down over there, which is the wrong direction.
We wanted to have a beautiful sunset over the Doctor's burial,
so we figured if we do it in the morning we get a perfect, amazing sky
and it'll look like evening.
But we won't have enough time to do the whole scene in the morning,
so we split the scenes.
Looked one way in the morning and got a beautiful sky behind Arthur and the Doctor burning.
And then we looked the other way the day before,
and we had beautiful sky behind everybody else.
After the Doctor is dead, they're tasked with burning his body.
We actually put him in a boat, wrap him and put him in a boat,
and set him alight like the Vikings.
It was really, really moving, actually.
Who are you?
Why have you come? The same reason as you.
Doctor Song,
Amy,
Rory,
I won't be seeing you again.
But you'll be seeing me.
It did feel like the end-of-series moment
but it had to feel like this is going to set off
the whole of the second series for Matt Smith and Matt Smith's Doctor.
Four.
Sorry, what? The Doctor numbered the envelopes.
They discover that there has been one spare invitation to this meeting.
They realise one more person has been invited to the funeral and that's the Doctor himself.
All of a sudden the door swings open and in walks the Doctor.
A younger version of the man they just saw die, 200 years younger.
They can't tell him what's happening.
We've been recruited.
Recruited by who?
Someone who trusts you more than anybody else in the universe.
And who's that?
So, no, he can't know his own future.
That's wrong. We've told him all we can.
We can't tell him we've seen his future self.
River's very strict about it - she knows the Doctor is very strict about it,
and if you sat the Doctor down and told him, he'd be furious.
Who sent those messages?
I know you know. I can see it in your faces. Would you?
Would you tell someone "I'm a time traveller, I saw how you die." Would you want to know?
"I'm scared, Mr President." I think we've gone a bit darker.
"I'm scared of the spaceman."
I think that's an inevitable function of just lives getting more complicated,
the Doctor's continued presence in that young couple's life,
when he should have gone by now.
Doctor, I need to tell you something.
There are major twists in the ongoing plot line
and it's all about that pregnancy.
I'm pregnant.
There's a lot of things we're putting into play at the beginning,
that are going to pay off later in the series.
Who's that? Now it's starting.
We are, over the course of 13 episodes,
going to find out who they are and and what they're up to.
You will tell the Doctor.
Answers are coming, big answers are coming.
How can you be OK with this?
Not to every single question.
The Doctor's death doesn't frighten me. Nor does my own.
He will find out who River Song is, definitely, yes.
There's a far worse day coming for me.
You do get big and hopefully surprising answers to big questions.
Spoilers.
