Filming Begins For Latest Doctor Who Series

The BBC has announced that filming has begun in Cardiff for the next series of Doctor Who, due on screens in Autumn 2015.

The episodes currently being filmed are written by Toby Whithouse (The Game, Being Human), produced by Derek Ritchie and directed by Daniel O'Hara (Silent Witness 2015, The Game, Being Human).

Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer, 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!"

Peter Capaldi, who plays the Doctor's latest incarnation, said: "The adventures begin again for myself and Jenna and I'm delighted to be back filming my second series of Doctor Who."

Paul Kaye, who played Thoros of Myr in the third series of Game of Thrones, will join the Doctor Who cast for the two-part episode. He said: "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 '90s and landing this role in Doctor Who completes the dream double."
