GEEKING OUT
The other day I was watching David Tennant's video diary serialized on YouTube -- DT being the actor playing the tenth incarnation of Doctor Who. They were behind the scenes on the episode "The Age of Steel" which aired in the second season. One outdoor scene, already hopelessly behind schedule, was interrupted by a freak snowstorm which wouldn't let up.
One of the producers of the show looks into Tennant's camcorder and says, "We may be getting ready for a 'Claws of Axos' rewrite."
A WHAT? To the internets!
Here's what
Wikipedia has to say:
The Claws of Axos is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from March 13 to April 3, 1971.
and, most importantly,
During the location shooting of the scenes with the tramp, an overnight snow
storm necessitated the creation of a line in the programme to explain that the
variations of weather from shot to shot in these scenes are "freak weather
conditions" as a result of Axos' arrival.
Geeking OUT.
