The Doctor Who Bank Note with David Tennant on it | Curator's Corner S6 Ep3

  • In the 2006 Doctor Who Christmas special 'The Runaway Bride' a LOT of money was needed to billow out of a cash machine. Normally, an art department would just knock up a relatively simple set of one-sided prop notes and be done with it... not the case with the Doctor Who art department.
    In the 2020 Curator's Corner Christmas special 'The David Tenner: a Doctor Who Bank Note' a curator was needed to talk about a Christmas object. Normally, an in-house museum production team would just sit a curator down, and get them to talk about a Christmas object... not the case with the British Museum production team (or curator Henry Flynn for that matter).

They will be blown away and hire him for the part immediately! (Perhaps they will also hire Nick as the Doctor's new Companion.)

I think the Disney animators called it "bumping the lamp" (after a scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit") when the production team goes above and beyond what's really necessary because they just love what they're doing so much and absolutely nail it.
