Amazing, I thought they did most of it via CGI, but it looks like they used a lot of props to pull it off. What's really amazing are the look-alikes they found for the actors. The Tom Baker stand-in is impressive enough that they could bring back the Fourth Doctor by having him play the role and have Tom Baker overdub his voice!
