10 Doctor Who Bloopers You Need To See

there is no production that has made it to the Finish Line without a series of fluffs and blunders along the way now Doctor Who has been on our screens for 60 years so it definitely has its fair share of mistakes and bloopers arguably more than most shows so we thought considering some of them are absolutely fantastic that we share some with you so with that in mind I'm Ellie with who culture here with 10 Doctor Who bloopers you need to see before we get into the main countdown there are just two moments that I feel like need to be mentioned that don't technically count as bloopers but they do prove just how much fun the cast and crew seem to have while making Doctor Who firstly the sikarax remember those skeletal masks and those glowing red eyes well maybe they won't seem quite so menacing once you've seen four of them performing a beautiful rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody [Music] Modern Art and the same goes for the Cybermen they're quite terrifying but not so much once you've seen a montage of them playing gleefully in a park and running around shouting I'm free free freeze a bird a cyberbird I mean I guess the conversion process doesn't always go quite as planned number 10 Shakespeare gets a phone call filming any kind of period drama must be a really odd situation you've got people dressed head to toe in historical costumes sat around on their mobile phones and surrounded by crew members wearing jeans and trainers but once the cameras start rolling it's like you've been transported through time unless one of those modern inventions interrupts the illusion and that is exactly what happened during the filming of series 3's the Shakespeare code now the episode did a really good job of recreating this period in British history you had Shakespeare sat around with his Pals drinking beer and flirting with the bar maid in a 16th century British pub and then Shakespeare suddenly gets a phone call I'll do more than that later tonight cool no there's something really unsettling about seeing William Shakespeare pull out a 2007 mobile phone which to be honest seems like it should be from the 16th century by modern standards and claims that it's a phone call from his agent now of course in reality it was actor Dean Lennox Kelly who was in fact receiving a phone call from his agent but you can be sure that if they existed during Shakespeare's time Shakespeare most certainly would have had an agent as well although I don't think they would have contacted him via a Nokia number nine the angel is full of what now Matt Smith had some very large shoes to fill when he took over from David Tennant in 2010. although his first episode to air was the 11th Hour this wasn't the first episode that he filmed it was actually the time of angels and flesh and stone that started his and Karen gillen's Doctor Who Journey during a scene in flesh and stone the doctor is trying to direct Amy who can't open her eyes to his location and he warns her that the forest is full of angels but during one take Matt Smith got a little bit muddled with his lines and he actually said the angel is full of forests this is important the angel is full of forests now what actually a mistake is when a crew member points it out to him so he realizes what he's done he's done bloop her aside this actually speaks volumes to how committed and focused he was to the role right from the very beginning number eight Yahoo the most common types of bloopers that we see are usually actors fluffing or forgetting their lines but sometimes the fault lies with a misbehaving prop or set piece now even modern who with its bigger budgets and more Advanced Technologies is not immune to these issues you've got padlocks not opening on cue you've got silurian weapons not firing you know the usual but the best example of this comes from the fourth doctor serial the sun makers now as Cordo rushes into the scene whooping and cheering he's supposed to fire his gun into the air in celebration but at least three takes saw the actor Roy McCready run into the scene and struggle to fire his weapon foreign Ty props aside it's actually a small miracle that his co-stars managed to keep a straight face considering how hilarious his repeated shouts of Yahoo are yeah but it scenes like this that really highlight that point that actors have to react to situations as if they are spontaneous and unexpected and they've probably done them countless times already number seven Rose's missing face building friendships with our colleagues can really make the difference between a great day at work and a not so great day at work but these friendships can also come with their limitations namely not actually doing any work and spending the rest of the day joking and laughing with your mates and actors are no different except quite often they're required to remain totally serious or react with really deep emotion when in reality they're standing opposite their friends wearing some sort of silly outfit or with a load of CGI markers on their face and sometimes the giggles get the better of them now it's no secret that David Tennant and Billy Piper got on really well when they were filming series two and so the giggles did often strike and one really good example of this is during the filming of the idiots Lantern when a faceless Rose is revealed to the doctor and detective inspector Bishop now in reality Billy Piper just had a load of dots on her face that were going to be edited later in post-production and poor David Tennant really really struggled to keep a straight face at one point you can even hear tenants say that it's gonna be tough and kudos to both of them for eventually getting it I mean how many jobs actually require you to imagine that your friend is missing their face number six canine on the Lash though not technically a blooper in the same vein as all the other entries on this list this is just too glorious not to share with you included as an extra on the DVD release of the Armageddon Factor this moment reportedly a part of the BBC's 1978 Christmas tape white powder Christmas features the fourth doctor and Ramana sat on the floor of the TARDIS getting rather close and drinking gin before offering some to Canine now witnessing the robot dog chugging gin through his straw and then singing a squiffy rendition of We Wish You a Merry Christmas has certainly never been on any whovian's bingo card and yet it's a sight to behold boarding we all like coding now whatever this actually is it's clear that everyone was having a lot of fun including the crew who can be heard laughing just out of shot number five contagious corpsing now although the last few years of Doctor Who have been disappointingly light on deleted scenes and bloopers there have been a few released which includes this one during the filming of series 12's praxius the problem was one of those sounds that even the most experienced thespians would struggle not to laugh at a fart noise the costume of one of the actors in the scene would make the farting noise every time they breathe and so the giggles started to ensue the problem was the more the actor laughed the louder the noise got which caused even more laughter amongst mandip Gill Bradley Walsh Jody Whitaker and pretty much everybody involved in the scene to check where there is Jody Whitaker also noted that Bradley Walsh was a notorious corpser which meant that it was even harder to regain any sort of composure once the chaos began Seether faces number four potty mouth Dalek as a family show Doctor Who is very careful with its use of language in fact the modern era especially the doctor is very vocal about bad language and has been known to call out their companions on occasion but of course the show is made by adults who frequently drop swear bombs behind the camera now while you're watching behind the scenes reels of Doctor Who for the last 60 years it can be really odd to see the show's stars out of character and hear them using that bad language but what's even more unexpected is hearing the monsters swear a good example of this is this blooper where we see a Dalek who takes a wrong turn and realizes that they've lost their would-be victim hymns and then they let out a little bugger I've lost them now kudos to voice actor Roy Skelton here who took a little onset mishap and turned it into comedy gold number three Clara forgets to die now as previously mentioned the last few years of Doctor Who have been very light on bloopers but a few have been released which also includes this one from series 9's face the Raven which involves a living breathing Raven and Jenna Coleman forgetting what to do as explained by Coleman Doctor Who actors quite often have to react to events and monsters that aren't actually there during filming but in this case there was a real bird to perform the stunt where Clara is killed and falls to the floor but Coleman was so focused on hitting her Mark for the bird to fly towards that she completely forgot to react in her own words she forgot to die now one can imagine that it must be quite difficult to focus on your performance when there's a real-life bird flying straight towards you but on the plus side this did give us a glorious clip of Peter Capaldi flapping like a bird behind his co-star I mean it's pretty impressive maybe they should have cast him as the Raven number two need in the hackers one of the reasons that the aforementioned time of angels and flesh and stone were the First episodes that Matt Smith and Karen Gillen filmed was so that Alex Kingston could be there as a supportive figure for the pair as someone who already had experience of working on the show now one of the first scenes that Matt Smith and Alex Kingston film together was the opening scene where River flies through space and lands on top of the doctor in the Tardis but according to an interview on Doctor Who confidential the landing on top of him wasn't actually scripted it was in fact Matt Smith's idea an idea that he probably came to regret once filming actually began that's because the stunt wasn't as easy to pull off as they originally thought and resulted in multiple takes where Alex Kingston's knee would land in some pretty uncomfortable places for poor Matt Smith and this resulted in the pair of them bursting into fits of Giggles now let it just be remembered that at this point in time these two actors barely knew each other but it's probably safe to assume that after all the fun and pain of filming this scene they developed a much closer Bond number one will you effing stay still it must be very frustrating for the doctor to so often be ignored when giving out serious life-saving instructions just ask Sylvester McCoy during a scene in his final serial survival the seventh doctor tells Ace and everyone with them to stay still so as not to provoke an attack by the Cheetah people of course nobody listens and they all start to run away during one take of this sequence Sylvester McCoy can be seen rather humorously losing his temper at the fact that nobody is listening to him and then he starts to ad-lib his lines adding some rather fruitful language and then throws his jacket and himself onto the floor I don't have any times I gotta tell you not the move you move now this goes on for a good 20 seconds or so and his commitment to the bit is admirable he even earns himself some Applause from the cast and crew by the end of it and claims to have be the during a scene in and he even and now witnessing the robot dog chucking chucking in it's gone I don't know what I need to say next he even earns himself some Applause from the cast and crew when he
