Spectre film mirroir series#
This was later also used in series 5 of the revived TV show proper. In "Brave New Town", the inhabitants of the Uncanny Village all turn out to be plastic Autons with real emotions and a Weirdness Censor.The group only was in Light City for a day and the characters seen were created using their memories, revealed to the listener when the Editor mentions he has eight legs. However, at the end of the audio, when the Editor sees the memory of the Doctor and companions visiting Light City and the Doctor having to give up the group's memories to the city, he finds out the memories were only copied. The listener is led to believe throughout the audio that the Doctor, Charley, and C'rizz have had their memories wiped and are trapped by the city using the roles they are placed in, the Editor, the Nurse and Conscience #1, respectively. In the audio drama "The Natural History of Fear", characters with the voices of the main cast live in a totalitarian city with its own version of Doctor Who.One must listen carefully (or have seen a spoiler) to realize that the character "Clem" who finishes the story is not the one who started it, but rather a holographic clone created by the original Clem and then dispersed into cyberspace. The Firesign Theatre, in their comedy album I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus, uses this device ingeniously.Compare I Am Who?, which is (usually) a much more pleasant surprise, as well as Future Self Reveal and You Are What You Hate. Often includes a Once More, with Clarity! moment, as the character runs through a series of previous events and realizes the things they (and the audience) missed that would have revealed their true identity. The opposite of this is And Then John Was a Zombie. Variation of the Tomato Surprise, hence the name (note the key difference is that here, the character doesn't know they're a tomato until the Internal Reveal).
Spectre film mirroir trial#
Assuming the duplicate works through the immediate identity issues, suicidal tendencies, and/or desire to lash out with murderous intent, they may find themselves having to ask a Trial Balloon Question to see if "their" friends and family would still accept them. Either way, it's an effective inversion of Puppeteer Parasite. In a self-contained work, it'll just be someone who thinks they're human. In an ongoing series, it'll be a duplicate of one of the main characters. For those examples, see Noticing the Fourth Wall. It often appears in a Real World Episode.

A special case is where the character comes to realize that they are in fact fictional, either of the work itself or of a Show Within a Show.
