Make-up designer Sheelagh Wells explains how the Doctor Who team re-created period details for chilling episode Tooth and Claw.
"Pauline Collins was great fun to work with. We found some photographs of Queen
Victoria during a visit to Scotland and in this period her hair was
in a fairly simple style, taken back into a bun.
"The queen's carriage was escorted by her soldiers, so there
was military research to do, too. The men's hair had to be the right
length and we had to add facial hair - sideburns and moustaches
- to set up the whole Victorian feel of the piece."
But not everyone needed extra hair. A band of martial arts monks
had to lose all of theirs. "The monks had to be hairless, so we had to
shave people's heads," says Wells. "The actors were great about it.
I had a team of people with me who looked after them and shaved
their heads every day they came in. They looked stunning."
