Just before the episode draws to a close, there's a terrific little shot where the camera pans across a series of bookshelves, before coming to a halt when our protagonists enter the frame.

According to Moffat, his son helped out with this shot - he actually got to move the camera, and he also got to use the clapperboard.

Moffat doesn't state whether his son's take actually made it into the episode, but either way, getting to truthfully say "I filmed Doctor Who" is incredibly cool.

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!
