10 Doctor Who Bloopers You Need To See

Filming any kind of period drama must be a very odd situation. People dressed from 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 roll and the scene is set, it's like you've been transported through time - unless one of those modern inventions interrupts the illusion.

This is exactly what happened during the filming of Series 3's The Shakespeare Code. The episode did a fantastic job of recreating this period of British history, with Shakespeare and his pals sitting around, drinking beer and flirting with the barmaid in a grungy 16th century pub.

But then, the legendary playwright's phone starts to ring (0:19 in the video below).

There's something overwhelmingly bizarre about seeing William Shakespeare pull a 2007 mobile phone out of his pocket (which, by modern standards, also feels like it's from the 16th century) and claim it's a call from his agent.

In reality, actor Dean Lennox Kelly really did get a call from his agent mid-scene. Although, you can be sure that, if they existed back in his time, Shakespeare would've definitely had an agent too! They probably wouldn't have contacted him on a Nokia though.
