Doctor Who director Tom Kingsley shared behind-the-scenes footage from Wild Blue Yonder – and we’re both horrified and intrigued.
In the second installment of the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials, Donna Noble and the Doctor find themselves on a spaceship that’s inhabited by shape-shifting aliens. In a particularly freaky scene, the aliens turn into, uh, stretchy versions of the Donna and the Doctor – with one of the aliens, while mimicking David Tennant, dragging two comically gigantic hands across the floor. Though it could’ve easily been CGI, Kingsley took to Twitter to reveal the prosthetic work behind the hands – and it’s jaw-dropping.
In the video shared by Kingsley, which can be viewed below, a team member steps back behind the giant rubber hands (created by Millennium FX) – and the fingers eerily fold out in a way that is extremely life-like.
Kingsley also explainedvia Twitter that Alien Donna’s long arm was “sometimes a weird prosthetic, and sometimes the arm of a person just out of shot.”
