The Rebel Flesh is the fifth episode of the sixth series of the
British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first
broadcast on 21 May 2011 on BBC One and on BBC America in the United
States. It is the first episode of a two-part story written by Matthew
Graham and directed by Julian Simpson, concluded in "The Almost
People".In the episode, the TARDIS is hit by a solar storm, sending
the Doctor (Matt Smith) and his companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and
Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) to a monastery on an island on Earth in
the 22nd century, which has been converted into a factory to pump acid
off the island. To prevent death from the acid, the workers have
utilised a "programmable matter" called the Flesh, which creates a
doppelgänger (called "Ganger") controlled by the worker. As the solar
storm hits, the Gangers become independent, and the Doctor, Amy and
Rory must work to prevent the two groups from breaking into a
war.Showrunner Steven Moffat specifically asked Graham to write the
episodes about "avatars that rebel", although the Flesh and the
monastery were Graham's original ideas. The episode was filmed in the
late months of 2010 with some location filming at Caerphilly Castle to
represent the monastery. Prosthetics were used to create the Gangers'
facial features, while doubles of the actors were used for scenes in
which a character and his or her Ganger were both in a scene, but did
not both show their face. The Rebel Flesh Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
