Hidden Away / Facts
- WHO SAID: “Look at the detail on that cheese plant. ”? Eleventh Doctor in The God Complex
- River Song will appear in the new series in 2012.
- The Art Department which builds all the props often have only a few words to go on from a script e.g. “futuristic chess board, large scary device, wrist unit, technical apparatus." The Doctor’s sonic cane was described as having a silvery top “which extends exactly like the sonic screwdriver” (and makes the same noise).
