On [[20 September (production)|20 September]] [[2015 (releases)|2015]], the day after the first episode of [[Series 9 (Doctor Who)|Series 9]] of ''[[Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]'' premiered, [[Peter Capaldi]] and [[Jenna Coleman]] performed a spoof of the famous cover of the ''Abbey Road'' album, featuring them as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]], alongside two Daleks. The Doctor is in front, taking the same position as John Lennon, hands in his pockets, with his [[sonic sunglasses]] on. Clara can be seen in Paul McCartney's position, barefoot and pointing at her feet. In the background is a Volkswagen Beetle bearing the license plate "DWW 29IF". | On [[20 September (production)|20 September]] [[2015 (releases)|2015]], the day after the first episode of [[Series 9 (Doctor Who)|Series 9]] of ''[[Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]'' premiered, [[Peter Capaldi]] and [[Jenna Coleman]] performed a spoof of the famous cover of the ''Abbey Road'' album, featuring them as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]], alongside two Daleks.

The photo shoot also seemed to parody the urban legend surrounding the original album cover that there was symbolism indicating Paul McCartney had died. Among them were the facts that Clara had bare feet like Paul and Paul's lack of shoes was a sign he had expired, and the "DWW 29IF" license plate on the Volkswagen was interepreted as "Doctor Who Weeps" and symbolically, Clara would be "29 if" she had lived, similar to the "LMW 28IF" license seen on Volkswagen on the Beatles album that was interpreted as "Linda McCartney Weeps" and Paul would be "28 if" he had lived. Fans assumed these were signs that meant her character would die, which really came to pass in [[TV]]: ''[[Face the Raven (TV story)|Face the Raven]]'' when Clara was killed off; however, [[TV]]: ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'' saw her being extracted out of her timestream moments before her death took place, delaying it indefinitely and allowing her to persist. | |||
A video of the shoot was later posted online to the official ''Doctor Who'' YouTube channel, which revealed that the shoot required several takes, and was completed in 1 minute and 18 seconds (likely done quickly to avoid causing too much of a traffic jam). It also showed that Jenna had shown discomfort in stepping on the asphalt in her bare feet, constantly remaining on tiptoe during the shoot, and as soon as the shoot ended, she scampered over to the nearby sidewalk, where a crew member immediately brought Jenna her shoes to help her put them back them on. In addition, the crew struggled to move the cumbersome Dalek props on and off the Abbey Road crossing several times and out of the way of oncoming cars, with audible groans from one of the props as it got caught on the brick pavement, and Peter briefly tried to assist two crewmen to push one of the Dalek props off the street right after the shoot came to an end. | A video of the shoot was later posted online to the official ''Doctor Who'' YouTube channel, which revealed that the shoot required several takes, and was completed in 1 minute and 18 seconds (likely done quickly to avoid causing too much of a traffic jam).
