Now, Curran isn't exactly the speediest of tweeters so his comments didn't always line up with the on-screen action, but around the same time Vincent makes his "I love you" comment to Amy, the actor stated that this was "the first day" on set.

He didn't specify if it was also Smith and Gillan's first day too (they both have a lot of scenes in this episode without Curran, so they may have shot some of those already), but regardless, this sequence was recorded early on in the production schedule.

As we're about to discuss in the next entry, the majority of this night-time sequence was filmed in Wales, so it makes sense that the production would begin shooting the episode on home turf first, and then move onto the overseas locations second.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
