According to Moffat, this scene was also Tennant's first day on set, with the actor donning his iconic costume for the first time in roughly four years. Just imagine being present for that moment - the entire crew probably had goosebumps.

This was such a memorable day on set that producer Marcus Wilson mused that it was like "live archive footage". Truly, it must've been both bizarre and brilliant to have Tennant back playing the character again.
