People who are around are David Tennant, David Morrisey (speculated to be the "Other Doctor") and the woman who we believe is the new companion, now known to be called Rosita and is being played by Velile Tshabalala
A funeral is taking place as the Doctor walks past. A Cyber-wraith is driving the carriage (though the Doctor obviously doesn't know that)
And here's a video of it, with thanks to Murray-Mint
Cyber-wraith!(which might possibly now be called Cyber-Shades)
In another scene, DM and Rosita run along a street, they stop and DM says:
"The Doctor's companion will do what the Doctor says! Now go!"
The Doctor watches all this going on...
And at some point, the Doctor meets up with Morrisey. Although I don't know if this is before or after the previous scene.
Morrisey's outfit looks rather... Doctorish
Can't say the same about the pose(Much much thanks to mirandamayhem, Murray-Mint and spillathecyberman)
what? no i dont want there to be a new companion!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I live in Gloucester. When are they filming? =D
ReplyDeleteThey're filming today until 3am at Gloucester Cathedral
ReplyDeletelike the cyber wraith :)
ReplyDeleteAny idea where they are filming tomorrow??
ReplyDeletegraveyards, funerals, could the cyber wraiths be using dead people to make cybermen?
ReplyDeleteI think they're filming in the same place tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteUp to 3 a.m.
ReplyDeleteThat's useful XD
I would get lost trying to get there. I don't know my way round. And on a school night, too!
I've been there tonite and saw some filming. Saw some Dr action, but he left at about 7.30 and was off elswhere.
ReplyDeleteI reckon that David Morrisey is either:
ReplyDeletea) A Victorian explorer and adventurer who by coincidence happens to be called 'the Doctor'. Or Doctor something. He could be a Professor Challenger or Van Helsing type hero who travels the world fighting monsters like the Doctor does.
b) The Eleventh Doctor who is being introduced in a very unorthodox way by bumping into his past self!
c) An imposter posing as a future incarnation of the Doctor-- perhaps the Master?
d) Most likely he's some kind of swashbuckling historical figure-- I can't really think of one off the top of my head.

ReplyDelete@redevil987
ReplyDeleteActually that was in Planet of the Ood, whent he people locked Donna with all the ood, it is the double O sign of Ood Operation. Though luck, the sontaran taking of his helmet was cut after it.
oh, ok i hadn't realised. Thanks
ReplyDeleteive enhanced the pic of the cyber wraith, if you want to view it, look here -

re redevil987 youtube post, well spotted, doesnt it look like "666" :)
Could DM be the First Doctor in his younger days?
ReplyDeleteAfterall we've had a reference to two of his stories in the last two episodes.
Total punch in the dark here...but is anyone else getting "The ghost of christmas past" feeling to this special? the whole thing just seems a bit..odd...
ReplyDeletei like the 1st doctor idea, could be, also "reviving" the 1st doctor means we have only doctors 2 and 3 missing - however if the doctor meets himself doesnt he "feel" who the other one is? so he would know?
ReplyDeleteive suggested "a Christmas carol" too, 3 cyber wraiths - 3 ghosts?
Nice to see my pictures being used! I've got some more photos on my website at:

I also have two Youtube videos of the filming:

I will be back tomorrow for more photos and coverage.
Hm, from that one line by DM sounds like he could be some twisted version of a Doctor from parallel universe. Not Pete's world, some other one. And a black woman is his companion, not our Doctor's.
ReplyDeleteI know it's all just speculation, perhaps Cyberman could only go to other parallel universe and not where they were created.
Could it be that Time Lords got ressurected in a parallel world? So this is actually 10th Doctor, just not 'our' Doctor.
Wonder if it's real snow or ash from some disaster again? :)
Well, thanks very much for taking them Murray-Mint! Its really really appreciated :)
ReplyDeleteWhat I've heard suggested by someone who has proved accurate in the past is that DM is playing a Victorian character who accidently winds up with some of the Doctor's memories and starts to believe that he is the Doctor. His confused state explaining the odd delivery of the overheard piece of dialogue.
ReplyDeleteIs that a Damien Hearse the Cyber Wraith is driving? ;)
ReplyDeleteNice pics and report. Cheers for that.
Just crosses my mind:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.drwhoguide.com/who_bf27.htm
Maybe it is the doctor from Pete's dimension and is this set on the alternate earth.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletetoo many alternatives here. imho this is what happened;
ReplyDeletewe know the other dimension (petes world) is to collapse, sending rose etc. back here.
so the daleks and cybermen follow, the cybermen end up in Victorian times.
here doctor ten (david tennent) arrives and he meets a younger doctor one (who is played in the 1960s by william hartnell, but this is a younger model) with his coloured female companion.
sounds beleivable and possible :)
yes but a little drastic for a christmas specal
ReplyDeletei fail to see drastic, David Morrisey (speculated as the "Other Doctor") is explained, i hope its not a "doctor" from another dimension, unless by "doctor" they mean "time lord"
ReplyDeleteDrastic? It is the first time any big enemies star in the christmas special so the more drastic the better.
ReplyDeleteThe first doctor is a good guess too, though for the real answer I think we'll have to wait some extra months :(
i hope he is the 1st doctor!
ReplyDeletehey i've been and seen the set. I've got some pics of the TARDIS, some priests and a green door, which is being talked about a lot, a there was a separate green door which they may blow up. OOH! there were also trampolines for people to jump off (explosion?, cybermen) filming tonight starts at about 10 so i will try and get some pics of the stars. can i upload my photos on this website jess?
ReplyDeleteDavid Morrissey's wearing my coat !
ReplyDelete@spillathecyberman green as in the type used for green screen or just painted green? (Yes I have to know everything :D)
ReplyDeletea green door, not for green screen :) it's dark green
ReplyDeletespillathecyberman: I don't think you can directly post them here, but if you load them onto photobucket or some such place then I can get them up for you...
ReplyDeleteif he is the 1st doctor, i wonder if he'll be with susan?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the master is revived using the doctor's genetic information (from 'the hand') and is in a confused Master/Doctor state?
ReplyDeleteunlikely he is with susan, this is a YOUNGER 1st doctor
ReplyDeletePerhaps the Cyber Wraiths, unlike the other Cybermen in this special, are from Mondas?
ReplyDeleteI think this man is either a Doctor impersonator or someone with confused memories as Simon's friend suggested. I think there aren't any alternate Time Lords.
It's gotta be a confused person who believes he's the Doctor, because I dont think the Doctor normally refers to himself in the third person. He's too smart for that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a Big Finish audio with a scam-artist pretending to be the Doctor? The new series writers have been known to go back to old material, both books and audios, before...
ReplyDeletedo we know that who we call the first doctor really was the first doctor? there could have been others before him?
ReplyDeleteI think the first Doctor said something to the effect of not having regenerated, or still being young, or something, didn't he? Isn't that how we know he's the first? I dunno. Anyway, that companion, whomever she turns out to be, is really pretty. :D
ReplyDeleteim sure i read the 1st doc was born of woman, lived a full life from child to old man, then he regenerated into troughton etc. IS THIS CANON?
ReplyDeletecyber shades? in winter? would they not need cyber hats or scarves? lol
ReplyDeleteThere have been references to the Fourth Doctor being the Doctor's fourth incarnation, third regeneration, etc. so what we call the First Doctor is indeed the First Doctor.
ReplyDeleteHow about this for a theory? Could David Morrisey be playing Doctor David Livingstone, Victorian explorer of Africa?
ReplyDeleteThere is a half decent picture slide of the filming here.

have any cybermen actually been seen in gloucester. I know cyber wraiths have been seen but cybermen.......i have friends in gloucester and he got his book sighned by the new companion. I stole some doctor who fake snow off the set its like tissue paper.
ReplyDeletei am zebdeesvids friend and i met velile, and she signed my book. she told me she is playing a character called ROSITA in the episode. this is officially her name, straight from the mouth of her!!! i have some videos of more recent filming in glos. and will post them on my utube acount of the same name (spillathecyberman)
ReplyDeleteRosita why not call her something new sounds a bit like Rose to me.
ReplyDeleteperhaps thats the point
ReplyDeletehey jess why don't u thank me at the bottom, i got the name rosita. i'm an avid (avid? is that right?) fan of ur website! this is said light heartedly, i'm not a loser like lord pyrodon or watever he's called. Oooooh and i've made my video of recent filming and will upload on to utube as soon as poss. keep up the good work!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Spilla, I did intend to add you name but just forgot!
ReplyDeletethanks! i am uploading my vid on utube now. it is a combination of several vids but if you want the seperate one i could send you them in some way? what do you think?
ReplyDeleteNah, all together sounds fine... probably more useful that way as it saves space
ReplyDeleteyh ok. i edited them a bit too so it cuts out long bits of rosita stood around, and keeps all the action! ps i hope rose lives soz that was random
ReplyDeletelucky spilla why does he live in Gloucester me=annoyed. I love Rose so i hope she survives too.
ReplyDeleteI don't think DM is the 11th Doctor because :
ReplyDelete1)He would identify his past self,
2)Even if he forgot or sth,when he touched DT,there would be a Paradox(just like when Rose hugged baby Rose)
Now,I have some theories about who he is.Maybe he is a copycat,or maybe he is working for Torchwood.
the 11th doctor had black female companions that lovely but warming there is no regeneration just in last special 2009.
