A New York Story was the episode of Doctor Who Confidential broadcast in conjunction with Daleks in Manhattan.

A condensed 5 minute version of this episode was made available to download in .mp4 format for seven days after broadcast, as part of a BBC trial of video podcasts.[1] It was later uploaded to the BBC's YouTube channel. Both of these were cropped into 4:3 aspect ratio.

Aspects of production covered

  • Helen Raynor discusses her decision to centre the plot around the Empire State Building.
  • The contrast between Solomon and Mr. Diagoras as characters, and how both have been affected by the first world war.
  • Filming of the first scene in which the Dalek appears, and how the set design compliments the Dalek.
  • The challenges of writing dialogue for Daleks.
  • Difficulties of adding supporting artists afterwards to a shot of the front of a theatre location used.
