Between series 4 & 5 of Doctor Who there was a prolonged transmission gap.
To help keep the brand 'alive' during the period between David Tennant & Matt Smith, BBC3 comissioned Doctor Who Greatest Moments: The Doctor.
This was one of three 60 minute highlight specials.
I cut this in six weeks (also indirectly edit producing it)
During Christmas and New Year 2011, Gillane Seabourn and I edited a 60 minute special for BBC1, at Crow Television, Shepherds Bush, London.
Matt Smith was replacing David Tennant and the BBC wished to reveal this highly kept secret in a dedicated show to be broadcast on New Years Day 2012.
Vital for this programme:
Offline & Online skill.
Narrative, entertainment & promo cutting experience.
Solid Technical & craft skill.
Ability to make Piers Wengars blood shot, flu riddled face look impossibly normal.
Trust and integrity.
Along with the ability to paint out an enourmous tap behind David Tennant's head & soften/push back the focal point of a leopard behind Russell T Davies.
