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.
