The cast and crew embark on an overseas adventure, but instead of heading to Venice, writer Toby Whithouse notes that the modern city lacks the charm of its 16th-century counterpart. Instead, they film in Trogir, a picturesque medieval town in Croatia that perfectly resembles ancient Venice. However, Matt Smith and Toby Whithouse do make a trip to Venice, where they meet Francesco Da Mosto. He takes them on a boat tour, showcasing how the city's beauty serves as inspiration for Toby's storytelling. The episode is narrated by Alex Price and features interviews with Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Francesco Da Mosto.
