Script To Screen: End Of Eternity

Script To Screen


The 10th day of filming End Of Eternity. After having filmed the main corridor scenes on Monday 21st October, the crew had moved to stage M for the corridor/airlock scenes, as Koenig sets up the trap. On Tuesday 22nd, they filmed the confrontation between Koenig and Balor in the airlock.

End Of Eternity

Stage directions specify that the airlock sticker be "detachable". Prentis Hancock is present to film the conversations between Koenig and Paul ("Ready here, Paul.", "Check, Commander"). The Main Mission side of these lines had been filmed on the first day of filming, Wednesday 9th October. The close-ups of Paul's hand over the "Vacuum" button would be filmed on Monday 28th October, along with the stunt scene when Balor (stuntman Alf Joint) is sucked into space.

End Of Eternity

We are then inside the Eagle passenger module, for the early scenes in the episode.

End Of Eternity

The day ends with the first shots of astronauts Hayes (Antony Scott) and Nilsson (Uffe Newmann) on the asteroid surface (the first shots in the episode). On the final day on Wednesday they will film in the asteroid tunnel and chamber.
