00:00the pantheon of villains like i i love them like they're they're so fun and i i can only imagine
00:06how fun it was to write those episodes and cast neil and jinx in those roles so i was curious if
00:12you could talk to me a bit about what it was like developing these stories for these characters and
00:16what was your favorite part about incorporating them into the doctor's story absolutely it was
00:21the freedom that's why i did it exactly i was to take the take the wheels off the bike and take
00:25take the roof off the off the room and lift things into the in the world of fantasy the hard thing is
00:30finding a way to defeat them i mean that's what i mean it becomes very hard for me to think of ways
00:35for them to be defeated and therefore it becomes hard for the doctor to think of ways for them to
00:39be defeated so i love that even now i'm having to invent rules that will that will pin them down
00:44but and believe you me there are more of these gods to come there's i can promise you at least three
00:49more that's a scoop i haven't said that before um that i i very much enjoying them they're they're
00:54allied with stories that don't have gods in them the the the when you get to steven moffat's episode
00:59called boom um which is so brilliant i mean the man is a master of the art and and and it's my
01:05honor to work with him that's very much hard science fiction very technical rules which pin the doctor
01:10down with as much terror as any god can do so we do keep telling those stories as well but when the
01:16gods arrive with that laughter with the giggle i think all rules are off and i think it's like being
01:22strapped into a roller coaster i think the audience gets taken on hell of a ride i'm glad you like
01:25them thank you i love that yeah oh it's lovely and jinx was just fabulous as the maestro i loved her so
01:32much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much she killed her so much
