}}'''''Nemesis''''' was the episode of ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' broadcast in conjunction with ''[[The Unicorn and the Wasp]]''. It was titled after the {{w|Nemesis (Agatha Christie novel)|Agatha Christie novel of the same name}}.

The thrust of the episode was to explain how ''Unicorn'' was, in production terms, very much like a traditional hour of mystery television. The story required, because of the storytelling conventions it tried to honour, a large cast — all of whom had to be equally filmed so the [[director]]'s shot choices didn't give away the murderer. This meant, as several participants explained, many more takes of the same scene than usual for ''[[Doctor Who]]''. The impact of having to setup multiple times for the same scene to cover different actors was explained several times throughout the episode.
