Toby Whithouse Two Parter Begins Filming
Filming for Series 9 is now officially underway and the BBC are have been releasing some details. The cast and crew have also been on hand to talk about filming for the new series.
The two-parter episode currently being filmed in Cardiff has been written by Toby Whithouse, produced by Derek Ritchie and directed by Daniel O’Hara.
Showrunner Steven Moffat said:
“An amazing guest cast for a brilliantly creepy two-parter by Toby Whithouse. Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman are back in Cardiff, back in the box, and back in action – for one of our scariest adventures yet!”
“The adventures begin again for myself and Jenna and I’m delighted to be back filming my second series of Doctor Who.”
“As a kid of the 1970s, the two shows you always watched were Top of the Pops and Doctor Who, they were unmissable. I actually wrote a song called ‘Looking for Davros’ in my first punk band and I sang it like a demented Dalek. I got to present TOTP back in the mid ‘90’s and landing this role in Doctor Who completes the dream double.
“Peter is a perfect Doctor and I’m loving every minute of the experience, even the five hours in make-up. What a treat, best 50th birthday present ever!”
