Hello. l'm Teryl Rothery. l play Dr Fraiser on Stargate SG-1.
l'm getting some behind-the-scenes stuff for MGM home DVD.
There's Christopher Judge, everybody.
That's his little house.
And boy is it phew!
- That's Amanda Tapping, everybody. - And this is bodacious Bodie.
- They're having a lovefest. - We're necking. Excuse us.
- There's Michael Shanks. Say hello. - What are you doing?
This is MGM home DVD.
(TeryI Iaughs)
- There's Don S Davis. - Hello, there.
The handsome Don S Davis, General Hammond.
You missed me. l was taking a nap in the office.
Colleen? This is Colleen Rennison.
This is our new Cassandra. She's grown up.
And l'm looking hot as ever.
This is ''Rite of Passage'' and it's Colleen's first episode with us here as Cassandra.
- You were on... - l was on two years ago as this kid...
..who was supposed to be named Alonso, except l think it was Ally.
- You were in ''Bane''. - Yeah.
- D'you have any time to pIay? - Uh, actuaIIy...
There's Peter DeLuise, our illustrious director.
Hey.
All right, get into bed. l'm paid to say that.
She's not feeling very well. Her mother Janet is upset,...
..but we're trying desperately to find a cure.
Temperature's 106.
DantroIene is not working?
This is Karen, our microtechnical adviser.
- (Peter) She's a real nurse. - l don't just play one on TV.
She's constantly checking me for a hernia, which l appreciate.
- And... - But does she...
And my prostate. l like my prostate and my hernia checked every morning.
So explain this. We're setting it up to look like she has an lV in?
She truly looks like she has an lV in once it's taped.
One of the questions we tend to get asked a lot is...
..''Why is Dr Fraiser taller in some scenes and shorter in some other ones?''
Let's show them.
- ''Fraiser Footwear''. - ''Fraiser Footwear''. Here we go.
So this is one of the shoes that we wore in first season.
Look at the size of those honkers. Look at how tall!
These are what we wear if we're not filming Teryl's feet.
These are my personal favourites.
- The Spice Girl version. - (TeryI) These are Fraiser Spice boots.
That's when l have to stand beside Richard Dean Anderson cos he's so tall.
They must get sore having to wear them.
- They do! - l'm sure they do.
And these are the Janet Fraiser ones you see on a regular basis.
Gisela, you are our TAD. Our ADs keep us in line to make sure we're here on time.
She'll get the word from the director that they're ready to shoot,...
..then Gisela tells us to get to set because we're about to go on.
- lsn't that right? - That's right.
Rehearsal's up. Great.
- This is what she does, you see? - Yeah, this is what l do.
l'm coming.
We're here.
Just give me a big, heavy sigh. ''l've come to the decision. 70mg.''
- Action. - (sighs)
All right. 70mg of dantrolene.
- Doctor? - Now!
Count: one, one thousand, two, one thousand, three, one thousand.
- Mom? - I'm here.
We're just giving you something eIse to try and get your fever down.
It's happening?
OK. I want you to do what we taIked about, OK?
I want you to fight this.
- I don't wanna fight it. - You have to.
Your body's not gonna be abIe to survive what this retrovirus is trying to do.
No! Let it happen! Let it happen!
OK, drop ten of VaIium.
OK, let's go back to one.
l never get tired of the gate. l love the sound of it, l love how it operates.
My second-favourite room, because they make you feel so warm and cosy,...
..is the make-up trailer, which is where we are right now.
Jan Newman is our key make-up artist. Jan, you're doing me this morning.
l have the pleasure of doing your make-up today.
l'm very excited about that actually.
Now, Christopher,...
..why are you not doing my make-up this morning?
Cos l'm doing complicated make-up on Nerti, the evil Nerti.
- So evil. - The evil Nerti.
This is Jacqueline Samuda, everybody.
- What's gonna happen to Cassandra? - What is her condition?
She just Iost consciousness.
Then the end is very near.
Jacqueline, are you enjoying being a part of the Stargate family?
- l am absolutely loving every second of it. - lsn't that great?
lt's a great set, great people. lt's true.
We love her, too.
We're doing a quick record of those fabulous hands.
We've been called to do a blocking for ''Rite of Passage'',...
..but we had to get this. This is how it's done. Look at that.
There's the Nerti hand. Oh, man, that's so cool.
- What do they call that? - Mehndi.
lt's fast.
Mehndi. Bindi.
There's Jan. She's getting impatient now...
..because she's doing her job very well and calling us to set to block,...
..and it's now three minutes since, so l'm going.
Richard, you'll have to come from there, from whence you got blasted.
Look out!
- He's practising his stunt. Are you OK? - Yeah.
You'll need to take a look at what is going on.
You're looking at Nerti, who's now just gone from invisible to visible. All right?
Easy. We need her aIive.
l'm gonna take you up to a section where, when we're not in our make-up trailer,...
..we do what is called ''touches on set''.
OK. Wow. There's a little light change here.
This is where we do our touches.
Amanda Tapping is currently having her touches,...
..the reason being is, we're now going into her close-up.
- Hi, Aman. - Hi, Turtle.
You cannot make a beautiful woman more beautiful than she already is.
And that goes for the both of you. The camera operator...
We're first-teaming, so let's follow Amanda.
(Amanda) l'm ready for my close-up.
- ShouId I put the base under quarantine? - I don't think it's contagious.
Major Carter and I show no evidence of the retrovirus in our bIood.
You know how in the briefing room we have a long table?
Well, when we shoot the master we have to get in tight sometimes for close-ups,...
..so this is what they do. They'll actually break down a bit of the furniture...
..and change the set around.
And that enables these guys, our illustrious camera operators,...
..to do whatever it is they have to do.
Of course, Peter DeLuise dictates the general appearance on ''Rite of Passage''.
- Morning. - Morning.
And l'm coming to a close here because ''Rite of Passage'' wraps up today.
Teryl Rothery, who plays Dr Fraiser. lt's been great.
So l'm gonna be closing up shortly.
(Peter) All right. Here we go. Nice and quiet here. Shooting.
Sweet, baby. Sweet.
