And while we often talk about performances and scripts, one core aspect of a production that is more rarely touched upon &#8212; at least when it comes to TV &#8212; is direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, we do know the names of directors and we appreciate their work, but I&#8217;m not sure we fully understand what goes on behind the lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here&#8217;s an enjoyable behind-the-scenes video with Jamie Magnus Stone, director of a triptych of episodes for Season 13, <em>The Halloween Apocalypse, War of the Sontarans<\/em>, and <em>Village of the Angels<\/em>. (You might also recall Stone from working on a number of stories for Series 12, including the first part of <em>Spyfall<\/em>, <em>Praxeus<\/em>, and the finale, <em>Ascension of the Cybermen\/ The Timeless Children<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Directing Doctor Who | Behind the Scenes | Doctor Who: Flux\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/81F0r1CIvQo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ttr_end\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go behind-the-scenes on The Halloween Apocalypse, War of the Sontarans, and Village of the Angels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"BTS on #DoctorWho Series 13: Jamie Magnus Stone Talks About Directing Flux","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[205],"tags":[5163,6639,5110,2848,6643,2264,6685,6656],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thedoctorwhocompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Flux-Sontarans.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":33765,"url":"https:\/\/thedoctorwhocompanion.com\/2021\/11\/07\/what-did-you-think-of-doctor-who-flux-war-of-the-sontarans\/","url_meta":{"origin":34455,"position":0},"title":"What Did You Think of Doctor Who: Flux &#8211; War of the Sontarans?","author":"Philip Bates","date":"7 November 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"The second episode of Doctor Who: Flux gave us Sontarans a-plenty.
