Transcript from 50 Ways to Leave Your TV Lover
FERN BRITTON (PRESENTER): Now at number one is a pair of star-crossed lovers if ever their was one, as Rose and the Doctor are torn apart through time and space.
[Clip of them with their faces pressed against their opposite walls]
CLAYTON HICKMAN (DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE): Being sucked into a parallel universe and being seperated for all eternity is kind of at least a ten on the one to ten scale of how to leave your lover. It's not something we'd all want to do but it's pretty much the ultimate heartbreak.
FERN BRITTON (Over clip showing Rose falling): In one of Doctor Who's most dramatic plotlines, Rose has to pull a switch that will send the Daleks to an alternate universe...there's only one problem...
[Clip of her falling]
DAVID SCHNEIDER (ACTOR AND COMEDIAN): Ah, Doctor Who and Rose, I don't think enough time has passed for me to talk about that without becoming a wreck. In fact, [laughs] tragically, that's true and I might have to be quiet now...
[Clip of Rose banging on the wall and screaming 'bring him back']
FERN BRITTON (VO): In fact, this level of emotion was fairly new for Doctor Who as it was part of it's reinvention by RTD.
ANTHONY HEAD (MR. FINCH): I think in that way Russell was very clever - he allowed there to be some chemistry. In the new series he's allowed it to bubble under to give it a-a new tension.
JOHN SIMM (THE MASTER): I sit down and watch it with my little boy, we can't wait for it, it's just brilliant, we talk about it later...yeah it's just brilliantly reinvented.
[Clip of Rose crying and him walking away]
CLAYTON HICKMAN: It's kind of a tender emotional journey for Rose - she gets to know this man, gets to love this man, gets to love the life he leads - and then just as they're getting close, just as they're basically becoming almost lovers, he's taken away from her.
[Clip on the beach]
CLAYTON HICKMAN: You really get to see their chemistry on screen, so when they're torn apart it's just heartbreaking, because the pair of them are just so good together.
