Fact #1056

classicwhofacts:

The transition scene in “Day of The Doctor” where Kate Stewart morphs into a Zygon couldn’t be filmed due to the effects being to expensive. Kamelion was hired to do the transition for the episode, which he did by morphing in both Jemma Redgrave and the Zygon performer. He also played some background characters in the production.

The Eighth had brought some mistletoe,
And aimed for Seven, to Seven’s woe:
‘Ah! No! Rrrrrevolting! Ace! D’you mind?
Try Six, he’s more that way inclined.’
‘That way inclined? Inclined? What, me?
I burst with masculinity!

[…]

Five called to light the pud this year –
‘You’re good at starting fires, I hear?’
The dancing flames sent Eight insane:
‘Yes! I remember! Pudding Lane!’
He planted Five with juicy smackers,
Two and Seven pulled on crackers,

[…]

‘I knew Puccini once,’ sighed Eight,
‘He had the softest lips.’ That’s great,
But stay away from me, you sissy,’
Four looked cautious, Eight looked kissy.
Three o’clock, the Queen appeared,
The Third, all patriotic, cheered,
But Eight, lips puckered, mistletoe handy,
Went for the clown and got the dandy.
Tried again to get the clown,
But got a slap, so settled down.

“The Feast of Seven… Eight (and Nine)”  by Vanessa Bishop, from ‘Short Trips: A Christmas Treasure’

In which the Doctors have a Christmas party and Eight tries to kiss all his former selves.

Because… yeah.
