More hopefully to come.

Matt, DT and Steven Moffat have both just arrived by cars from base, Steven's on set.

Set was big tent with a St George's flag next to it, also a horse on set too! #dwsr

Call it a stretch if you will, and I know I'm desperately clinging onto some distant fantasy...I'm going to accept until otherwise shown that Tennant will appear alongside Catherine Tate, who was actually at last night's script read through, though she didn't appear in the photographs as she is being kept a secret for now.
Billie Piper wasn't at the script read through, because she's actually appearing alongside Christopher Eccleston, who was also not at the read through. The two of them will have a seperate read-through, tying in with the supposed fan-sighting of Eccleston in Cardiff today.
So yeah... Tennant and Tate, and Eccleston and Piper. Please

Well... I can dream, can't I?!

[Glenn.]

I don't think the zygon a will play a big part of the episode tbh.

[DigitalSid]

I don't think the zygon a will play a big part of the episode tbh.

All the insiders have been making a big deal about them coming back for weeks so it's possible, but a Dalek was at the read through (the producer claimed it's there permanently).

[Glenn.]

I've got a feeling that the daleks will make a reappearance in the finale. The series 7 part 2 box set mentions them and the cybermen. Unless they appear at the end of the episode which leads us into the 50th

[DigitalSid]

Tennant:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BG22h2VCQAAlcUE.jpg:large

Is that the brown suit or a coat?

There was a rumour of the Daleks being in the finale, controlled by the GI, it was started by a spotted play set at the London Toy Fair of Dalek hover crafts being fired from a craft on Big Ben.

[Glenn.]

Who's the ginger woman? :suspect:

[DigitalSid]

Who's the ginger woman? :suspect:

Not Catherine, not my future wife Karen, one's filming something else in London today and one's in LA. Could it be...

*Screams in horror* :p

[Glenn.]

God I hope not. Maybe it's just a stand in.

[Firewire]

Catherine's filming "Big School" with David Walliams today.

[DigitalSid]

Filming for today and at this location in general has now began packing up and the cast are leaving, Tennant has left. Continues tomorrow elsewhere.

Also, the human Doctor isnt ruled out, The Doctor gave 10-2 a TARDIS coral in a deleted scene

Deleted scenes aren't canon.

[Glenn.]

I was just about to say the same thing.

[DigitalSid]

Day 2's filming is in Tredegar:

We're trying to gleam where in Tredegar so we can get someone out there nearby.

I really want this to be spoiler free but the temptation to follow it with such ferocity is too strong.

Looks like you will be spoiler free today, only thing we have to go on is a field in Merthyr (Merthyr's in the valleys, there a lot of fields), unless someone else nearby can be more specific, no filming pics today.

[Vanessa]

How exciting! Can't wait to see it! :amazed:

[Glenn.]

Looks like Joanna Page is was the ginger person we see in the photos yesterday.

OMG. JUST REALISED

It's Queen Elizabeth? Remember the 10th Doctor has some history with her as we found out in Series 3 episode The Shakespeare Code?

[Scarlett.]

Didn't he marry her between The Waters of Mars and The End of Time? I remember him mentioning it when he went to the Ood planet.

[Glenn.]

I'm pretty sure what was filmed yesterday will have no bearing on the actual episode. It'll just be a pick up scene.

[Scarlett.]

Anyone else hoping the episode opens with the 10th Doctor, just to confuse people? lol

[DigitalSid]

It could well do, there's speculation that day 1's filming was the opening scene.

Day 3 is beginning in Caerphilly, don't expect any pics, they've closed off the the road to thru traffic, though this was taken before hand:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BG_lytCCUAAS9_F.jpg:large

And those set reporting have finally learned what signage their using, it's usually a reference to the exec producer (except last year, which was LSW for some reason) this time it seems to a nod to UNIT:

That's 11's TARDIS, isnt it? The windows give it away, lol

Yep. Speaking of TARDISes:

Didn't he marry her between The Waters of Mars and The End of Time? I remember him mentioning it when he went to the Ood planet.

Yeah. She ordered his beheading in S3 because he married her and flew off during the Specials which is why The Doctor was confused in Series 3 :amazed:

[DigitalSid]

He also took her famous virginity, making a mockery of her title 'The Good Queen Bess', would be interesting if Rose is there with Nine and this takes place after Waters Of Mars for Ten, to see how they handle that.

[DigitalSid]

Filming's now finished, some more pics:

The bike is the anti-gravity bike seen in TBOSJ last week, Jenna's stunt double apparently rode it down the hill towards the TARDIS.

Noel Clarke seems to have been involved in the unseen day 2 filming, looks like he's back in some capacity too, he did tweet a pic (http://instagram.com/p/TWWKUrI93o/) of him with matt in December but that might not be related:

Noel Clarke ‏@NoelClarke 19h

I wish I could tell you what I did today

Noel Clarke Noel Clarke ‏@NoelClarke 5h

I can't actually tell you. It's a secret.

@NoelClarke I'd wink in agreement, but who would know?

Also of note is that Joanna Page is believed to be playing Queen Elisabeth (The Good Queen Bess), red hair, Elizabethan clothes, tents with the tudor rose on, filming with Ten, is this actually a post Waters Of Mars, pre-End Of Time Ten? If so, what's Rose doing with him? Or is she with someone else? She hasn't been photographed yet, so perhaps Nine is in after all.

[Glenn.]

It's all too confusing!!

[DigitalSid]

Tudor rose*

It's all too confusing!!

It is. To make things more confusing, the Tudor rose on the tent (see page 1) was crowned, Victorian Clara worked at a pub called the Rose and Crown. Is she trying to make him remember their meeting when he was Ten, as I joked about a few days ago on DS?

[Scarlett.]

I just noticed this has been added to Netflix, never heard of it before now, lol

Oh, and they added Sarah Jane Adventures too

The better of the animated series, we almost got one this year with all The Doctors but the Beeb cancelled the plans to (their excuse) avoid taking focus from the main series. Here's the concept art:

I bet that happened when the BBC were budget slashing (when they axed Confidential), shame.

No, it was for this year, they cancelled it a few months ago, plus Confidential wasn't axed because of budget slashes, Zai Bennet, controller of BBC Three, just didn't want the old Controller's (Danny Cohen, now head of BBC One) shows

[DigitalSid]

Filming today/yesterday was in the studio at Roath Lock, Matt, David, Jenna and Moffat were present. Thanks to a visit from new Director General Tony Hall, blog here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/aboutthebbc/posts/Tony-Halls-message-to-BBC-staff-following-his-first-week), we have pictures:

Wonder if DT's tardis has been erected and is now out of The Experience? Or if they'll rebuild it / find a way around showing it?

They don't film at the weekend as far as I'm aware, so we'll probably see the next lot Monday, presuming it's out in the open. We believe they're filming in London on the 9th (Tuesday), consensus seems to be the Powell estate, but we'll find out then.

Kate Stewart back for anniversary, guess today's UNIT filming, no signs of The Doctors or their companions. Nice to know they're involved, would be weird for them not to be, considering the role they, particularly Kate's father, played in the classic series:
