“I’m really glad we took it out!” <\/p>

While it\u2019s only been a couple of weeks since Doctor Who<\/a> season 14 came to an end, fans are still desperate for more, and showrunner Russell T Davies has now spoken about one moment that was filmed but never aired.<\/p>\n

Speaking in this month\u2019s issue of\u00a0SFX<\/a>, Davies explained that very rarely do entire scenes get cut from Doctor Who, but there was one in particular from The Devil\u2019s Chord<\/a> that didn\u2019t make the final edit.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThere\u2019s one scene we deliberately cut at the end of The Devil\u2019s Chord, actually, because they run onto the rooftop and there was a scene where the Doctor said, \u2018Oh, time\u2019s gonna go crazy now, music is flooding back in, and everything\u2019s gonna be strange for 10 minutes\u2019 to kind of explain why they burst into song.\u201d<\/p>\n

The scene was shot, but when they watched it back it was decided it was \u201cboring\u201d to explain \u201cwhy you burst into song\u201d.<\/p>\n

Davies added: \u201cWhy explain why you burst into song? Just burst into song! So I think that scene possibly would\u2019ve made a lot of people happy. I\u2019m really glad we took it out! It\u2019s only 20 seconds of dialogue, it was nothing. I can\u2019t think of anything else that we cut.\u201d<\/p>\n

As fans reflect on the eight episodes of season 14, they can look forward to another on the horizon in the form of a Christmas special, and it\u2019s set to be one of the \u201cmaddest\u201d festive episodes yet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Speaking in a behind the scenes video on\u00a0YouTube<\/a> for Empire of Death, Davies said: \u201cNow the Doctor voyages forward, and guess what always happens to the Doctor every so often \u2013 Christmas! Here comes Christmas.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI can\u2019t give away much more but work has begun on it already, and it\u2019s mad, it\u2019s one of the maddest Christmas specials you\u2019ll ever see. It\u2019s epic, it goes to so many different places. And it\u2019s a great story of who the Doctor is when he\u2019s alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
