Doctor Who filming, 15.05.09

Haha, it was bound to happen wasn't it?
Oh yes, a very interesting scene (or possibly scenes) was filmed recently.

And by the way, I have no idea if this is the right order for the scenes, or even whats going on in them. I'm just guessing :)

Episode 18, scene 7


A young, naive Rose walks with Jackie through the Powell Estate. Its decorated with Christmas lights, graffiti, and the ground is covered in snow. From their expressions, it almost looks as if they're having a bit of a tiff...


Whether this is the case or not, they seem to make up as they hug and wish each other a 'happy new year', this is followed by Rose telling Jackie not to stay out all night, to which she replies 'you try and stop me!'



While this is happening, the Doctor is standing around the corner. The TARDIS is further down the street but not near him at this time. He leans against the wall and seems momentarily convulsed with pain, staggering just as Rose walks past.


Rose: Are you alright, mate?
Doctor: What year is it?
Rose: 2005
Doctor: You know what? I bet your going to have a really great year.

This was taken between takes

And then I'm assuming that after this interchange Rose walks on, obviously having no idea who this man is since she hasn't even met the 9th Doctor yet... and our Doctor... well, he has exciting encounters :)

A very evil looking Ood Sigma...

EDIT: Apparently Sigma wasn't supposed to have red-eye, it was a mistake made by the costume department and when they re-shot the scene he was normal and un-evil.

There was speculation that this scene was merely a pick up shot from the end of Waters of Mars, however, since the Doctor is wearing his brown suit rather than his blue I'm going to assume that this is a second encounter with Sigma.

Unfortunately we don't really know anything about this second scene since the set reporters were asked to not take any photos or divulge spoilers. The only reason we have the Ood picture at all is because newspapers are apparently less honest :P

But according the quite a few people, the filming was very very emotional... the bittersweet kind as well...
