How to write a story
Liz visits Highcliffe St. Mark Primary School in Christchurch, Dorset and meets a group of 10 children - five boys and five girls, to find out what they think makes a good story. She takes them to the woods and then the beach to find some inspiration, the children collect a variety of objects including an inflatable globe, a colander, a feather duster, a Santa hat, pop-out eye glasses, pom-poms, 2 bottles of bubble mixture & a CD player. Liz then challenges them to write a story about a monster inspired by the objects they collected, they brainstorm ideas writing them down with chalk on the playground, then present their ideas with Liz sneakily copying them down in her folder labelled "Doctor Who Series 3 Episode 1 by Liz Barker".

Love & Monsters location report
Barney visits the set of Doctor Who on location at St. David's Hall in Cardiff city centre and becomes a supporting artist for the day. He boards a parked double-decker bus where the 40 supporting artists (SAs) needed for the days filming are waiting to go on set, and explains that each SA has to have a costume and make-up just like the main actors.

Barney receives his costume, then waits around on set where he has to to be very quiet whilst Marc Warren & Bella Emberg go over their lines, and tells viewers that because he's an SA he doesn't have any lines to remember. He then shoots his first scene playing a market stall customer.

The crew move onto the next scene in which Elton Pope reacts to the Slitheen craft crashing into Big Ben, with Barney playing a passer-by. He explains how everything SAs do is scripted and planned, and that a woman called Kate will be telling him where to walk, when to react etc. They have a rehearsal so that everyone's actions and reactions are timed just right, before shooting the scene.

The finished scene from the episode is then played in slow motion with Barney highlighted in the background, afterwards he wraps up at the end of day of filming saying he's going home to have dinner with a Slitheen (actually his grandma, same difference).

Task 10: Say Really Long Words
The four remaining cadets are each shown four complicated words the Doctor has encountered on his travels to say out loud, in increasing difficulty. They are judged upon the speed and accuracy of their pronunciation.


 * Kyra - Nanogenes, Moxx of Balhoon, Jocrassa Fel Fotch Pasameer, Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe. Score: 2 out of 4.
 * Louise - Slitheen, Neuron Implosion, Cathica Santini Khadeni, Slitheen Parliament of Raxacoricofallapatorius. Score: 3 out of 4.
 * Chrissie - Sycorax, Hop Pyleen, Blon Fel Fotch Pasameer, Tribophysical Waveform Macrokinetic Extrapolator. Score: 1 or 2 out of 4.
 * Jamie - Gallifrey, Gelth Confederacy, Adherents of the Repeated Meme, Justicia and the Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon. Score: 3 ½ out of 4.
