Doctor Who: 20 Things You Didn’t Know About The End Of Time

12. June Whitfield REALLY Enjoyed Her Scenes

The group of pensioners known as The Silver Cloak is instrumental in uniting Ten with his final companion.

One of the more memorable members of the gang is Minnie "The Menace" Hooper, played by the delightful June Whitfield. When The Silver Cloak gathers round the Doctor for a photo, she senses an opportunity and grabs Ten's bum, eliciting some great comedic delivery from David Tennant.

Whitfield really went for it in this scene. Producer Julie Gardner described her approach as "very method", while director Euros Lyn said they had to stop her getting carried away, as she wanted "two big handfuls" of that Time Lord booty.

Don't lie, if you had the chance to get a slice of Gallifrey's finest cake, you'd do the exact same thing.
