Doctor Who filming, 09.09.09

From the looks of it, these reports could be a new episode. I'm not sure that monks and Abbeys link to any other set reports we've seen. Then again, its always guess work ey?

So! Filming took place at Neath Abbey, and was irritatingly hidden away behind crumbling walls and high level security.

But Baraduim had this to report:

There wasn't an awful lot to see, apart from the production crew's seemingly random moving of vehicles at regular intervals, and cars and minibuses going to and fro... Snipbits that came out from locals were that the crew would be there for a couple of days.

We did see quite a few of the cast wandering backwards and forwards (between takes?), most seeming to be wearing robes of some sort, very monkish in look.

And who's that last mysterious looking monk? Well, if you're familiar with the show the Demon Headmaster, then you'll know its Terence Hardiman!

Looks like he's got a big key/necklace thingy around his neck. Significant?

And DigitalSpy had a few more photos of Smithy and Karen in between takes.

And ANobleToaster fantastically provided this picture:

From the looks of it, she may just be wearing a hospital gown underneath, as well as some mysterious black wires that you can just make out. Medical sensors?

And according to WalesOnline:

giant windows were created out of grey “screens” and extras – children wearing black robes or dirty clothes – were positioned inside.
