Head behind the scenes of Millie Gibson's first day on the set of Doctor Who

Ever wanted to find out what life is like on the set of Doctor Who? Millie, Ruby Sunday herself, goes behind the scenes and vlogs her very first day on the most recent series of Doctor Who.

In the standout episode '73 Yards', a mysterious old woman haunts Ruby – turning up again and again throughout her life. Seeing Ruby at so many different ages meant that Millie had lots of time to vlog from the makeup chair!

Prothestics, wigs, costumes and makeup!

In '73 Yards', Ruby Sunday ages up all the way through to her 40s and beyond with the help of the incredible hair, makeup and costume departments. It turns out you don't need a TARDIS to do some 'time travel' if you have the magic of television and an artist's talent behind you!
