Today's Doctor Who Series 5 Filming

Filming took place on Series 5 of Doctor Who in Cardiff again today, with Matt Smith and Karen Gillen once again on set.

Scooty also managed to get a couple of photos including on of Nick Briggs (Voice of the Daleks!)





Alun Vega reports the following via twitter;
Base is in private carpark outside warehouse on Curran St. Visible trailer doors read: The Doctor, Amy, Enemy No 2, and... Churchill, Curran Rd is the base.

More trailer signs read Blanche, Lillian, and Voice Of Enemy ;)

Filming is in the basement of Jacobs antique Market. Nothing to see. Matt, Karen, Nick Briggs, and - I think - Bill Paterson on set.
I just heard a Dalek say "Would you care for some tea?" !!!

Dialogue overheard, Matt Smith (shouts): "I am the Doctor and you are the Daleks!" #dwsr I have goosebumps!

Matt sounds utterly fantastic. He's using his own accent.

Karen and Bill sound Scottish. Briggsy sounds Dalek-y :)
Filming continuing in Jacobs basement. Scene with Doctor, Churchill, and Bill Paterson's character (a professor, apparently)

A big thanks to Alun Vega and Scooty for the set reports and photos!

Sarah Jane Adventures Series 3 Air Date

The Digital Spy website have a list of upcoming TV series premier dates, which includes the third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures. The website reports that the series will begin on Thursday 15th October. This seems a bit unusual as the previous two series have both been broadcast on a Monday and begin around the end of September, however the website did have the correct air date for Torchwood: Children of Earth so this date is very likely.

TOM BAKER CONTINUES HIS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW IN DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE #412 – AND REFLECTS ON THE MEANING OF LIFE...

DWM takes a stroll in the woods with Fourth Doctor, TOM BAKER. As we pick our way through the trees, we learn how to make the perfect bonfire, why Tom owns a gravestone and why it’s not a good idea to combine drinking and acting…

“In those days… it’s a long time ago, and it’s a world that no longer exists. It was a world where wine was available all the time, and hard drinking was a sign of being sociable. An actor who said, ‘No thanks, I can’t drink, or won’t drink’ wasn’t very interesting, because most of the conversation was fuelled by alcohol and cigarettes...”

Doctor Who Dreamland Press Release

The BBC Press Office have issued a press release for the upcoming Doctor Who animation Dreamland. Read part of the press release below;

First look at new animated Doctor Who

The BBC today releases the first image of the animated Doctor as he will appear in the new animation, Dreamland, which is due for broadcast later this year.

The six-part series will be premièred via the BBC Red Button on BBC One and the Doctor Who website (bbc.co.uk/doctorwho).

The 45-minute long animation will be broadcast in its entirety on CBBC on BBC Two this autumn and also on the BBC HD channel.

Written by Phil Ford (Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures) Dreamland will see the Doctor – played by David Tennant – arrive at the infamous alien hot spot, Roswell.

During a visit to a local diner he stumbles upon a mysterious alien artefact that leads him on a mission to rescue Rivesh Mantilax from the threat of the Viperox and the clutches of the American military.

Joining David Tennant will be Georgia Moffett (Doctor Who, Spooks) in the role of Cassie Rice – the Doctor's new animated companion.

David Warner (Wallander, Hogfather) also stars as the leader of the ruthless Viperox.

In the run-up to the animation, fans will be able to visit the Doctor Who website (bbc.co.uk/doctorwho) to follow a behind-the-scenes production blog on the making of Dreamland, giving the opportunity to follow the progress of the animation as it develops.

Dreamland was commissioned by BBC Drama Multiplatform and will be produced for the BBC by Brighton-based animation company Littleloud.

It is being executive produced by Russell T Davies, Julie Gardner and Piers Wenger, with Gary Russell as director.

Russell T Davies said: "Dreamland is a remarkable project and I'm thrilled with it. Phil Ford is a wonderful writer and promises to send the Doctor into a whole new visual dimension."

Rosie Allimonos, BBC Drama Multiplatform Commissioner, said: "I‘m extremely excited about Dreamland. It presents an amazing opportunity to expand the multiplatform storytelling potential of Doctor Who.

"To offer the ability to watch this brand new Doctor Who animation on so many different BBC platforms is a real treat for our audience."

Richard Deverell, Controller, BBC Children's, said: "This is a wonderful addition to the already fantastic portfolio of CBBC programming. Having talent like Russell T Davies and Phil Ford at the helm of this project will no doubt ensure it captures the imagination of CBBC viewers."

Companions and Enemies will follow, but this week it's the Doctor's turn in the limelight. What makes the Bachelor of Time tick? Why does he need reining in occasionally? And who are his own heroes? Expect frenetic clips packages (is there an octopus loose in the edit suite?) and fresh insights from nearly departed David Tennant. We also hear from Freema Agyeman, Georgia Moffett (the Doc's instant daughter) and "next Doctor" David Morrissey.

The latest 100-page issue of Torchwood magazine gets under the skin of the five-night television spectacular, kicking things off with a sensational interview over ten pages with the show’s creator Russell T Davies. Check out this page for all the information on the new issue, including our farewell to Ianto (right), stunning behind-the-scenes features, and lots more!

Nick Abadzis pens Torchwood comic strip

Features

Russell T Davies
“I could write you scene one of season four right now.”
So says Russell T Davies in a comprehensive interview in the latest issue of Torchwood magazine. We’d been trying to pin Davies down for over a year, and having got his attention, it wasn’t an opportunity we were ever going to approach lightly. With no stone left uncovered, we grill the man who invented Torchwood on why Ianto had to die, what he thinks about politics, and what could be next for the show.
You can check out a sneak peek from the interview with Russell T Davies on our Facebook page. Click here.

Making a Monster
Torchwood magazine brings you a sensational line-up of behind-the-scenes coverage of Children of Earth in the latest issue, including a close-up account of the making of the 456. Russell T Davies’ brief, as outlined by the script, was to make “a huge, three-headed, eyeless beast, with raw, wet skin, like its flesh has been stripped.” Find out how Millennium FX went about meeting the challenge, with exclusive photography from their workshop and the Floor 13 set.

Random Shoes revisited!
Torchwood magazine continues to look back at the trailblazing first series of the show in the latest issue. Remember when Torchwood ‘fan’ Eugene Jones found himself invisible and where he always wanted to be: sitting alongside Gwen Cooper in the Torchwood SUV? We revisit Random Shoes, first aired way back in December 2006, in a comprehensive episode guide. Plus, we talk to actor Paul Chequer, who guest starred in the episode as the naive but lovable Eugene.

Ianto Jones 1983-2009
Seeing Ianto Jones die in Captain Jack’s arms on Day Four of Children of Earth was a moment that many Torchwood fans will never forget. In the latest issue of Torchwood magazine, we pay tribute to the coffee boy made good, and Gareth David-Lloyd shares his thoughts about Ianto’s dramatic exit from the show.

David Harewood Interview

David Harewood who will play Joshua Naismith in The Reign of Nightmares and The End Of Time has been interviewed by Digital Spy. Read and extract of the interview below;

They were David Tennant's final episodes. What was the atmosphere like on set? "I'd say it was very charged - people were in tears. It was the end of a very successful partnership. It was obviously David's last outing, and it was also Russell's last outing and Julie Gardner's last outing. So everyone was saying goodbye to what had been a very successful partnership."

How secretive was the plot kept? Were you privvy to the part of the script with his final scene? "No - we only got four pages, so most of us didn't get to see. I think we'll all be checking in on Christmas Day!"

Suranne Jones In The Sarah Jane Adventures

Former Coronation Street actress Suranne Jones will appear in the third series of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Although we don't know much about her character yet, the producer of SJA Nikki Wilson says that she is the perfect actress for the role.

Wilson says: "We conceived the character in a story meeting about 18 months ago and immediately named Suranne as perfect to play her - never imagining we'd actually get someone who's in so much demand.

"But as soon as she saw the script she said yes."

The third series of the Sarah Jane Adventures will begin next month on BBC One and CBBC.
