Doctor Who Interview | Mike Tucker: Special Effects Artist

As the spaceship hurtled over the London skyline, it took Big Ben in it's sights, it's wing smashing through the clock face and shattering a global icon before crashing down in the Thames!

This iconic shot from the 2005 Doctor Who revival is the work of visual effects master Mike Tucker - one of the few people to have worked on Classic and New Doctor Who!

Mike began his career working on the Sixth and Seventh Doctor eras before moving on to create Red Dwarfs and Star Bugs for the Red Dwarf show, amongst many others.

Returning to Doctor Who with it's revival, he was responsible for many of the model shots we all know and love including the BAFTA award winning work with Daleks on Day of the Doctor.

In this episode, we talk to Mike about...


his start in the industry
how going to school with Russell T Davies paid off years later
blowing up Daleks
spinning the TARDIS on string
modern CGI over practical effects
writing Doctor Who books and audios

...and of course, much more! So sit back and relax and join us to discover more about the visual effects of our favourite show!
