During Doctor Who : Unleashed , we see how everything that went down during S02E05 : " The Story and the locomotive engine " come together and much more .
In this week ’s episode ofDoctor Who : Unleashed , hostSteffan Powellinterviews writerInua Ellamsand uncovers how Lagos , Nigeria , was brought to South Wales to film ' The Story and the Engine ' . Powell takes a stretch as a caterer to 250 hungry people on set . " The Story and the locomotive " is a special story as Ellams typeset the narrative in his native Lagos and also drew on his personal experience of barbershop and the finish of chumminess and storytelling at barbershops . They ’re a place where manpower spring friendships , and the stories they say go on the custom of oral history and folklore .
Ellams ' script is a masterclass in chassis and content , theme and secret plan in its meditation on myth and storytelling , and a lovemaking letter toDoctor Who . The other highlight of the instalment is the recreation of a whole street in Lagos and its alley in a studio apartment . There is no exterior location in the whole episode . And the barbershop set , where most of the story take place , is like a level set . The actor are dissemble out a play exchangeable to Ellams ' acclaimed original playThe Barbershop Chronicles , which established his vocation as one of the most interesting British playwrights working now . Ellams is a prolific poet , dramatist , illustrator , performer , and now screenwriter in the UK whose spokesperson come through in his book forDoctor Whowithout offend with the tone of the series .
Once again , Doctor Who : Unleashedis your weekly motion picture school as it walks you through another facet of filmmaking , this time , how extras are used , and how they have to be fed on set . Yay , slyness inspection and repair . It ’s kind of amazing that catering is now a tidy sum more accommodating for the great unwashed with vegetarian diet on top of the common British nutrient ( if you ’re a Brit , you recognise what that is ) .
Doctor Who : Unleashedis on theofficial YouTube channeloutside the UK . It was released simultaneously as the BBC iPlayer after the episodeDoctor Whowas released .
