10 Doctor Who Scenes Where Actors Weren’t Acting

10. A Surprise Biscuit

Unlike most other Doctors, it took two full episodes for Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor to meet her version of the TARDIS.

Once The Ghost Monument's plot has wrapped up, Thirteen steps inside her beloved box to find that it has changed significantly since she was a Scottish bloke. While taking in the new set, she wanders around the console, pressing buttons and fiddling with levers.

There's even a foot pedal to play with, which she does. To her great shock (and glee), this opens up a secret compartment, out of which comes... a custard cream?

Production designer Arwel Jones installed this biscuit dispenser as a surprise for Whittaker. He asked her what her favourite biscuit was, and implemented this special feature without telling her beforehand. So, when Thirteen munches that delicious custard cream in the episode? Her look of surprise and joy didn't require much acting on Whittaker's part.

It's a touching story, but we should remind you that eating a random biscuit you find in a drawer probably won't end as nicely in real life.
