Getting to fly the TARDIS would be pretty darn cool. Whenever a character walks through those iconic blue doors, they're often left speechless, amazed at the remarkable images their eyes are capturing.

So imagine how exciting it would be to land a role in the show, bagging the opportunity to play around with the TARDIS for real?

Well... the answer is very. It would be very exciting to play around with the TARDIS for real. Just ask Freema Agyeman, who got so hyped while shooting her TARDIS scenes in the Series 4 finale, that she ended up staring dead into the camera with an exhilarated look plastered across her face.

The angle of the shot (1:28 in the video below) implies that she's supposed to be looking at David Tennant's Tenth Doctor, but, while doing so, she accidentally stared down the lens.

Did the editor notice this, and just decided to leave it in? Or was this admittedly quite fleeting glance missed altogether? We don't know for sure - but it's a fun, heartwarming moment regardless.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
