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 almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. 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.
