The new series of Doctor Who will begin filming on February 20, it has been confirmed.
The sci-fi drama's seventh run, expected to air on BBC One in the autumn, will see Matt Smith reprise his role as the Doctor.
Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) and Arthur Darvill (Rory Williams) will exit the show midway through the series, with a new companion then joining Smith's Time Lord.
Saul Metzstein will helm the first new episodes to be filmed, the official Doctor Who site has now confirmed.
The Scottish director previously worked on 2009 BBC Four drama Micro Men starring Martin Freeman and Alexander Armstrong, and also served as second unit director on forthcoming comic adaptation Dredd featuring Karl Urban.
