“I would’ve run through a brick wall for David Warner. I loved him. An inspirational man and actor.” – Christopher Eccleston

Writer Lisa McMullin said: “This particular set was a real gift because I got to make two characters that you might not expect to be able to interact because they’re in different universes, and then converge those universes and have them collide. There’s a whole heap of fun where they’re trying to decide which universe they’re in. The Ninth and Unbound Doctors were so much fun and a joy. They worked together really well, and bounced beautifully off each other.”

Script editor Matt Fitton said: “I know Christopher Eccleston loves Lisa McMullin’s writing, so when he said that he wanted to do one of these 60th anniversary adventures, we immediately got her on the job, and threw together some more old friends as well. “We have Nicola Walker turning up as Liv Chenka, and Gina McKee as the Lumiat. The Lumiat is Lisa’s creation who is, in a way, the Master’s version of the Valeyard in that she’s the opposite of everything the Master stands for. The Lumiat is an insufferably good version of the Master or Missy!”
