The Chase - S2-E8

Visible crew/equipment: (Episode 4) After Ian shudders from the apparition he continues to follow The Doctor down the hall, and the camera casts a shadow on Ian. Then, when The Doctor finds the stairs leading to the laboratory he tells Ian he must see what's on the table. Just as Ian states his displeasure at the thought, the boom mic (and its shadow) pops up into view at the bottom of the screen, in front of Ian. (00:05:15)
