"It's a very curious position he suddenly finds himself in." "It's quite an exciting, pivotal moment in Doctor Who history." "NARRATOR"." "A reunion with an old friend and an even older foe." "Join Confidential as we witness the beginning of the end, and say 'ello, 'ello, 'ello to John Barrowman, Derek Jacobi and John Simm." "Oh, my God." "It was always the plan to bring Jack back." "Hello again." "It's great to have Captain Jack coming back." "Very exciting to have John Barrowman on set because he's a force of nature and a lively and lovely man." "Jack's return to Doctor Who was long awaited, not only by myself, but by the audience, I think." "I'm sorry, there's no heartbeat." "There's nothing." "He's dead." "It's funny 'cause David and I have socialized together, but all of a sudden, I'm with David's Doctor." "So it's a little bit different, but it's great." "It's Captain Jack, he's slipped back into his skin so easily." "He came back into Doctor Who, and it's like the whole place started laughing." "Not that they were miserable before, but he carries so much energy and so much charisma." "He's warm, he's funny, he laughs enormously." "He's a bundle of fun." "I'm singing in the rain" "Just singing in the rain" "Oh, it's getting heavier." "Oh, yes!" "Welcome to the Welsh spa." "Can I have the seaweed wrap, and then I'd like the massage with the stones, please." "He's so upbeat, and he really loves what he's doing as well, and he's so good at it that it just makes it a joy to perform with him." "Sorry, I started cracking up." "Did you see that'?" "Captain Jack is brave." "He's loyal." " Jack's the muscle in Doctor Who." " He's sexy." "Works for me." "He's prepared to go that extra mile." "He'll do stuff that no one else will do, in all sorts of ways." " Where were you hiding that?" " You really don't wanna know." "He does have this cheek and this glint in his eyes." "Captain Jack Harkness." "Captain Jack Harkness." " And who are you'?" " Stop it!" "Captain Jack probably has the most complicated history of any character in Doctor Who, I think." "When we first meet him, he's a bit of a rogue." "Well, I say a bit of a rogue, a complete rogue." "You used to be a Time Agent, now you're some kind of freelancer'?" "We're never quite sure whether to trust what he says and to believe him, but you can't help liking him." "You are worth fighting for." "He comes under the Doctor's influence." "Under the wing of a much better, much cleverer and much more compassionate man, and learns off him." "I wish I'd never met you, Doctor." "One last time!" "Any more volunteers'?" "Then when we get to a massive Dalek attack in The Parting of the Ways, he is the last man standing and will fight with a useless gun against advancing armies of Daleks and will not stop in order to buy the Doctor more time." "Exterminate!" "I kind of figured that." "But his extermination was short-lived." "Thanks to a Rose resurrection, Jack came back." "I bring life." "He's now immortal." "All powered up!" "At the start of episode 11, the Doctor is keen to leave him behind." "Doctor!" "Because it opens up a Pandora's box of problems for the Doctor, in terms of the laws of time and the laws of physics." "The year 100 trillion'?" "That's impossible." "We're going to the end of the universe." "So when he meets the Doctor again, it's tense." "So there I was, stranded in the year 200100, ankle-deep in Dalek dust, and he goes off without me." "It's like, "Why was he abandoned'?" "What went on?"" "There's a great friendship, but a new sense of distrust between them." "Jack and the Doctor have little jibes at each other and say things to each other, but never really confront it." "But the thing is, how come you left him behind, Doctor'?" "I was busy." "Is that what happens, though, seriously?" "Do you just get bored of us one day and disappear'?" " Not if you're blonde." " Oh, she was blonde!" "What a surprise!" "You two, we're at the end of the universe, right'?" "Right at the edge of knowledge itself and you're busy... wagging!" "Now, come on." "Episode 11 deals with the Doctor telling Jack his own story." "Telling Jack why he is like he is." "Strikes me, Professor, you've got a room which no man can enter without dying." " Is that correct'?" " Yes." "Well..." "I think I've got just the man." "When did you realize'?" "Earth, 1892." "Got in a fight on Ellis Island, a man shot me through the heart." "Then I woke up." "Thought it was kind of strange." "But then it never stopped." "Fell off a cliff, trampled by horses," "World War I, World War II." "Poison, starvation, a stray javelin." "Ooh!" "In the end, I got the message." "I'm the man who can never die." "Jack wonders if the Doctor can fix it, and he asks him that." "And the Doctor doesn't have an answer." "What happened'?" "Rose." "She brought you back to life." "But she couldn't control it." "She brought you back forever." "That scene's written, between the Doctor and Jack, very deliberately because that's what men are like." "They have to be in the middle of a nuclear rocket crisis and they have to have a door between them and they have to have a countdown and the lives of a thousand people in their hands, and then they decide to have a chat." " Do you want to die'?" " This one's a little stuck." "Jack'?" "I thought I did." "I don't know." "Back in the studio, the Doctor meets the Master, played by legendary actor Derek Jacobi." "Yeah, what a coup, Derek Jacobi." "Here's to it." "Utopia." "What a treat to have him there." "It would seem something new has arrived." "Listen, I'm working with an icon!" "What a perfect bit of casting." "I can't imagine anyone else playing that part." " The Doctor'?" " That's me." "Good!" "Good!" "Good!" "I was gobsmacked when he said, "Oh, I love Doctor Who." ""I've watched them all and I think it's the best program on television," ""and I would love to be in it."" "And I said, "Well, are you being serious or are you just flattering me?"" "And he laughed and he said, "No, I'm absolutely serious." ""I would love to be in it."" "One of my ambitions since the '60s has been to take part in a Doctor Who." "The other one is Coronation Street." "So I've cracked Doctor Who now." "I'm still waiting for Corrie." "I remember his first day!" "He bounded on and was going, "This is so exciting!"" "Some admiration would have been nice." "Yes, just a little." "Just once." "Well, you've got it now." "It's one of the great treats of this job, that you get people like Derek Jacobi saying they'll come and do an episode." "I went to a stage door to get Derek Jacobi's autograph when I was at drama school, and now I'm in an episode of Doctor Who with him." "How cool is that'?" "Still, no rest for the wicked." "All the elements that have been laid in the series are coming together." "This watch is me." "I'm gonna become human." "We put in a flashback so that people recognize it, and at the same time, Martha and Jack and the Doctor's dialogue spells it all out from scratch." "Doctor, it's the Professor." "He's got this watch, he's got a fob watch." "It's the same as yours, same writing on it, same everything." "It's directed so that," ""Oh, look, this fob watch is really important" ""and has a lot of significance,"" "and everyone acts as though it has a lot of significance." "So you've got to make it accessible." "You've got to remember this might be someones first episode." "Inside the box, inside the box..." "Regeneration." "Regeneration." "Inside the box, inside the box..." "Daleks..." "But, of course, Yana doesn't really know who he is." "He just keeps hearing drums." "Thinks there's something in his brain, that he almost has the answer to something but he's not quite sure what it is." "When he turns round and looks at Chantho, when he's changed into the Master, with no dialogue, and the look in his eyes..." "How do they do it'?" "How do actors do that'?" "'Cause I just think that's..." "That's stunning." "Having been this rather gentle, rather kind, rather lovable professor, this nutty professor, the evil side of me takes over, and I start killing people." "That came quite easily." "Then who are you, tho'?" "I am the Master." "NARRATOR"." "The stage is set for Derek's final moments." "It's taken three years, but the Master's time on the Tardis is finally here." "Killed by an insect." "A girl." "How inappropriate." "We're going to shoot the first part of the Master's regeneration from Derek into John." "In the past, in the classic series, as I think it's called now, all regenerations, they were all different." "It depended on the director and the producer at the time and what they decided they wanted to do." "This time Russell said," ""I'd like the regeneration to be exactly as the regeneration" ""from Chris into David."" "it just helps to spell out that this is a Time Lord regeneration." "This is the same process." "This is how he becomes a new man." "Plus, it's just exciting." "There's the thrill of going, "Oh, my God," ""it's exactly the same process!" That was such a good effect." "I didn't want to change it." "Didn't want to see it again." "It's how Time Lords regenerate." "The Master, reborn." "And cut!" "NARRATOR"." "Mixing between the two Masters is no mean feat." "John Simm has to be in exactly the right place in order to be every inch the Doctor's arch enemy." "Can I just see you back an inch, John'?" "And we're running." "Now ease your face slightly to your right." "Just a bit." "Here we go." "And steady." "Action!" "Cast two brilliant actors as the Master." "To have Derek Jacobi and then to have John Simm is beyond my wildest dreams." "End of the universe." "Have fun." "Bye-bye." "Doctor, stop him!" "It's that slightly creepy, dawning realization that the Doctor's not on his own." "That there's another one." "Somebody else can regenerate." "Somebody else can operate the Tardis." "Somebody might be the Doctor's equal." "The old plotting and the old genius, that dark old genius is still there and instantly knows what to do." "And that is the titanic battle that we have ahead of us in 12 and 13 now." "He might have finally met his match." "I think that's quite exciting."
