Nathaniel Curtis filmed his Doctor Who scene talking to an empty tree. <\/p>
Doctor Who fans got a surprise on Saturday, as the second 60th anniversary special<\/a>, Wild Blue Yonder, opened in a garden in 1666, far away from the spaceship which had previously been trailed.<\/p>\n There, fans were introduced to Isaac Newton, played by unannounced guest star Nathaniel Curtis<\/a>, who is best known for his work on Russell T Davies\u2019s It\u2019s a Sin.<\/p>\n The scene saw the Doctor and Donna<\/a> land in Newton\u2019s apple tree, and make a joke about gravity \u2013 something which Newton mishears as \u2018mavity\u2019, leading to a running joke throughout the episode where the word appears to have been permanently changed.<\/p>\n However, it turns out that despite their characters exchanging dialogue, Curtis never actually shot with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, with their sections of the scene being filmed separately, in different times and different locations.<\/p>\n God bless this team\u2665\ufe0f https:\/\/t.co\/Ozph5PKook<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Nathaniel Curtis (@nathancurtis90) December 3, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>
