Silence Will Fall is an upcoming episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, written by Steven Moffat and directed by Jamie Payne, which is due to be broadcast for the 2013 Christmas season. It will feature the final regular appearance of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and the second appearance of Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor, the first being a cameo in the 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor.
Production
The special will be written by Steven Moffat. Smith said filming would commence on the episode when he has finished work on the film How to Catch a Monster. He later revealed filming will start in September.[6] The episode will be directed by Jamie Payne, who previously directed the episode "Hide".[7] The read-through from the Christmas special took place on 4 September 2013.[8]
In August 2013, Moffat stated in an interview that the Christmas episode would tie together the remaining story strands from the Eleventh Doctor era, some of which were introduced as far back as "The Eleventh Hour".[9] Production on the episode was scheduled to start on 8 September. Owing to his work on the film How to Catch a Monster, which required him to have a buzz cut, Matt Smith will have to wear a wig to mimic the Doctor's hairstyle.[10] In September 2013, it was revealed that the Cybermen would feature in the Christmas episode, when one of the show's regular stunt artists, Darrelle ‘Daz’ Parker, tweeted that she would be playing a Cyberman. This would make it the second time that the Cybermen have appeared in a regeneration story, following The Tenth Planet in 1966,[11] and the second time the Cybermen have appeared in a Christmas special, after "The Next Doctor" in 2008.
On November 23, 2013, a teaser trailer was released on BBC One after "The Day of the Doctor", revealing that the Daleks, Weeping Angels, and the Silence would also be appearing in the episode.
Recasting the Doctor
On June 1, the BBC announced that Smith would be departing the series after almost four years, with the Christmas special episode being the episode of transition between Smith's Doctor and the next incarnation. The announcement sparked media and fan speculation as to who the next Doctor might be.[12] It was announced on 4 August 2013, during a special broadcast - Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor - that the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor is to be played by Peter Capaldi.[13]
Filming
Filming for the episode began on 8 September 2013. On 10 September, Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman were seen filming on location in Cardiff.[14] The location was Lydstep Flats, which have been previously used in Series 1 and 2 as the Powell Estate where Rose Tyler lived with her mother Jackie.[citation needed] On 19 September 2013 there were scenes being filmed in the evening at Puzzlewood with fake snow being scattered over certain areas.[15] On 5 October 2013, Doctor Who producer Marcus Wilson revealed via Twitter that filming was complete.[16]
Marketing
Trailers
A sneak preview for the episode was shown after the simulcast of The Day of the Doctor, where it was revealed that the Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels and the Silence will be involved.
