History Trivia / DoctorWhoS35E10FaceTheRaven

* ThrowItIn: Arguably the episode's most touching moment - Clara stroking the Doctor's face and him then kissing her hand - was not scripted, but added by the actors.

* DeletedScene: [[https://twitter.com/snazdoll/status/668542970996645888 One after Clara's death]], in which the Doctor carries her body indoors and orders Ashildr not to wipe Rigsy's memory, so that Rigsy can tell Clara's family and take care of her body. This scene, for some reason, is not included in the DVD release, however several other sequences are, including a joking reference to Creator/DerrenBrown possibly being an alien and a grief-stricken Rigsy reuniting with his wife after Clara's death (likely cut because using that to end the main action of the episode would have undercut the {{Cliffhanger}} of the Doctor being teleported away by focusing on a character who doesn't even appear in the episodes that follow).

* DeletedRole: Creator/NaomiAckie was cast as Rigsy's partner Jen but her only scene was cut from the final episode.

** According to script writer Sarah Dollard, [[http://whovianfeminism.tumblr.com/post/139544766097/whovian-feminism-interviews-sarah-dollard the episode was originally going to open with Clara and Jane Austen doing some of the pranking that Clara alludes to in the final episode.]] In particular, Clara was to be shown teaching Jane how to be a card shark at poker. Presumably, the sequence might have also cleared up the "is she or isn't she" BiTheWay debate regarding Clara's sexual orientation.

* MoodWhiplash: An out-of-show example (which is why it's in Trivia). "Face the Raven" concluded with arguably one of the most gut-wrenching sequences in modern Doctor Who history. Within a very short time after broadcast, the BBC released an [[HilariousOuttakes hilarious outtake]] from Clara's death scene. It was a welcome laugh for fans.

** According to the published script a scene was cut that would have suggested that magician Creator/DerrenBrown was an alien and the Doctor didn't like him to the point of banning his name from being mentioned around him. It's possible this scene was shot because the final episode shows Clara reacting to something from the scene in question (her unexplained puzzled look when the Doctor asks her to get his "most annoying stuff" from the TARDIS).

* WorkingTitle: "Trap Street".

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: This was originally written as a standalone story, with Rigsy, Ashildr, and the StoryArc plot developments (i.e. Clara's death) added later. In fact, it was originally ''announced'' as a standalone episode like "Sleep No More", but shortly after "The Woman Who Lived" aired it was confirmed that this episode would pay off its SequelHook, and by the time it aired it was clear that its events would have a huge impact on the Series 9 arc.
