If this is true, then its dead exciting! From the Examiner
Director John Landis announced at this weekend's Spooky Empire convention in Orlando that departing Doctor Who star David Tennant has been cast alongside English actor Simon Pegg in Landis's upcoming film Burke and Hare. If the film's IMDB article is accurate, Pegg will play the role of William Burke while Tennant fills the role of William Hare.
The upcoming film, which appears to be a re-make of the 1972 film by the same name, will dramatize the fascinating and true story behind the Burke and Hare Murders. During their gruesome career the duo allegedly murdered seventeen victims in the hope of making a lucrative business by selling the bodies to the local medical school.
Despite the dark historical subject matter, reports on Landis's interpretation suggest his film will cast the events in the black light of dark comedy. How he will achieve so remains to be seen, but with such star power as Pegg and Tennant, the effort is almost certain to sell well.
The scene filmed apparently takes place before the scenes filmed yesterday (with the blowing of the Sonic Screwdriver)
They were filming at Rhymney outside the Vicarage. The house wasn't easily seen so there probably wont be many photos, it was behind a large wall and a lot of trees!
Apparently, the house is being used as the young Amy's house back in the 1990's
And Woah Nelly, is that the Series 4 TARDIS!?
Why yes, it is!
The scene wittnessed was of smoke pouring out of the TARDIS and Amy dragging the Doctor away from it, crying "Come on!". He keeps trying to get back to his beloved box, shouting in response, "I must save her!"
Amy was once again in her policewoman outfit, and the Doctor was in Ten's outfit suggesting that episode 1 really does follow straight on from Tennant's last episode.
Set reporters have told us that before this scene, the TARDIS apparently crash lands in to the garden and hits a garden shed, destroying it before skidding to where it is. There were marks on the lawn where this supposedly happens.
And there we go! MADNESS!
A HUGE thank you to Haffertee, Ahremsee and all other set reporters!
The scene witnessed was the Doctor, Amy and the guy in hospital overalls. There was also a man and his dog (who's been mentioned in other filming) and they were all looking up at something in the sky.
The dog barks and the Doctor goes towards the beer garden and starts talking down to something (Rumors were that it was a CGI dog but this seems very unlikely).
"Hello prisoner X"
There was also something about aliens from a Level 20 planet, and "scanning the Earth 6 billion people". At this point the Doctor has taken out his old, battered Sonic Screwdriver.
Then a nearby phone box blows up, ariels turn randomly, the fire engine's ladder goes up and down, and a toy helicopter flies out of a little boys hands.
The Doctor then says something about "Not testing all the sonics settings".... "Setting four thousand"... "Do you think they will notice?" The other two seem a little nervous at this.
He then points it defiantly at the sky... and the poor Sonic blows up.
And heres a fantastic video of it courtesy of BillySastard
" . . .plus invisible ink; I think someone's going to notice - don't you?"
A huge thanks to Ivan111, farsighted, Chick, Alun.Vega, Billy Sastard, Mugim0e, Haffertee, Billy Sastard, and everyone else who braved the wet & cold of filming!
Woop! Filming is still going on and exciting stuff is still happening!
Scene 1
The Doctor glances behind him and then turns to Amy, saying something. Amy in response grabs him by his tie and drags him over to a black car that has just pulled up.
And here's a fantastic video from coldkittenanxiety
Dialogue goes something along the lines of:
Doctor: (...), I hate (...). As much as I would like to say goodbye, (...) .... I'm sorry. Amy: NO! Doctor: No--no--Amy--no, what are you doing?!
Another line that was heard (but unplaced) was:
Twenty minutes till the world ends and do you know who I am?"
Scene 2
The Doctor and Amy run towards a white screen and the Doctor turns to someone in hospital overalls. The overheard dialogue was "coma" and something about staring at a dog.
As well as this a red phone box what was part of the setting was being set up for special effects. Thoughts are that its going to go boom at some point.
A HUGE thanks to JTimmy, Haffertee, and anyone else who braved the set reporting world!
So, its still for episode one as this lovely clapperboard tells us:
NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THIS YET: Steven Moffat's Series 5 is called Series 1. - Mac.
And its also NOT set in Scotland as this lovely flag tells us:
An England flag
And also apparently its a time travel story. Part of being set in 1996, when Amy was 8, the other part in 2010 when she is 20. Although this is unconfirmed.
A newspaper heading from the 90's
And what we have is Smithy and Karen on set, Smithy wearing Ten's clothes (which are ripped) and Karen wearing a very sexy police outfit. And shes definitely a policewoman and not a stripper or going to a hen night... apparently... (according to people who were at the filming)
There was also an icecream van and a Fire Engine too.
Now to put the scenes into some sort of coherent order. Remember, this is all just guesswork!
Scene 1 Here we have what looks like a very early on meeting of Amy and the Doctor. Here's an amazing video from Skarofighter:
Dialogue goes something along the lines of:
The Doctor: Why aren't there any ducks? Amy:(Waves hand dismissively) Oh, you know... The Doctor: Then how do you know the Ducks talk! Amy: ... Is it important if it's a duck pond? The Doctor: Ungh...The method's not done yet. I'm not ready for all this! I'm not done!
So it looks like he's only just regenerated very recently.
Scene 2 The scene involved the Doctor and Amy hurrying up a lane, and running across to the icecream van. Then the Doctor ran off, jumped over the flowerbed at the side of the White House, and ran inside. Amy ran after him, but took the more conventional route through the front gate.
As they came up the lane, the Doctor shouted something about a "cricket bat" and someone thought Amy said something about "12 years of therapy". Someone else reckoned they thought the Doctor said he was having food cravings.
Another line that was heard but unplaced was:
I've got 20 minuets to save the world and the Post Office is closed!
Scene 3
Apparently a scene was filmed where the the sun disappears. Amy was heard to be saying: "What's happening, why's it going dark?"
As well as this scenes were recorded of transfixed extras gazing skyward and pointing their mobile phones.
And it looks like this superb video from Ahremsee fits into this scene:
Doctor: Welcome to the end of life on earth. Amy: Are you just going to sit there? Doctor: Why shouldn't I just sit here? Oh, here they come, the human race ... down a video phone ... I saw it and I missed it! Amy: You told me you had a time machine.
Scene 4
Towards the end of the shoot, the crew changed the local clock to 11.30
The new scene they were filming (although a short one) has been reveled to be scene 43
They filmed a zoom close up of Matt. The camera was on a track and they pushed it towards Matt quite quickly. It stopped just short of him and after a few minutes he put on a shocked/panicked face and jumped to one side out of camera shot:
And thats it!
Another interesting point noticed was that there was also an unknown doctor in scrubs and a fireman with a large dog (called 'Bolsey') who weren't ferried away like normal extras. So perhaps they have a larger part in the episode.
Filming has been very secretive recently! Clearly the Moff doesn't wish anything to get out about the new series and Smithy.
But we've at least been given something thanks to the fantastic people at OG!
Thurs 1st Oct Filming took place in a village called Rhymney, in the cemetry of the old vicarage. Not much could be seen but they filmed a scene with Karen at night.
Friday 2nd Oct There was crew setting up at Cathedral Green today. A big pond was created in the centre and Newspaper signs indicate its set in the 1990s, and apparently in a place called Leadworth.
At the moment, we only have very early set reports for series 5. Of course I have no idea which filming is for which episode, or even if they're the same episode or not... But I like organising things and so they shall be organised!
Episode Location: Earth Aliens/Enemies: Unknown New Characters: The Doctor, Amy Pond, Gadgets Used: Unknown Episode Objective: Unknown
Filming
At the moment I have no idea what order these come in, I'm just listing them in the order they were filmed.
29.09.09 Filming went on inside a private house on Llandaff Green. There wasn't much to see at all, but there were some lights at the window.
Smithy, Karen Gillan, were on set as well as Tracie Simpson which suggests that they're filming block 3 at the moment. As well as this, guest star Annette Crosbie was on set.
But the most exciting bit of all is that although Smithy was covered in a lovely maroon dressing gown, we can see a glimpse of converse shoe and brown pinstripe trousers! It seems hes wearing Tennant's Doctor outfit! Which also means this is probably the first episode!
And if this is the first episode then perhaps Annette is playing Amy's grandmother?
01.1o.09 Filming took place in a village called Rhymney, in the cemetry of the old vicarage. Not much could be seen but they filmed a scene with Karen at night.
02.10.09 There was crew setting up at Cathedral Green today. A big pond was created in the centre and Newspaper signs indicate its set in the 1990s, and apparently in a place called Leadworth.
A huge thanks to alun.vega, Scooty, baraduim, Jonathan Hendry, ANobleToaster, Lucky Lady, 76 Totters Land and everyone else who reported! Sorry if I missed anyone out :)
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?
At the moment, we only have very early set reports for series 5. Of course I have no idea which filming is for which episode, or even if they're the same episode or not... But I like organising things and so they shall be organised!
At the moment I have no idea what order these come in, I'm just listing them in the order they were filmed. I also have no idea if these are even for the same episode. Isn't guessing fun!
The BBC has been filming the latest series of the show at a council-owned World War Two underground bunker near the TA Centre in West Cross.
The special effects crew arrived on the set early yesterday, and the location was a hive of activity as cameras rolled inside the Joint Resilience Centre, off Mumbles Road.
Location manager Gareth Skelding was keen to keep details under wraps and would not spill the beans on which actors were on location.
He said: "There's very little I can say — it's all a big secret. Obviously, we don't want the storylines to get out. We're filming inside the Joint Resilience Building, which makes it easier to keep it quiet."
2nd Report (27/08/09)
Filming went on at North Road, on the roof of the Glamorgan building in Cardiff Uni.
First up, there were some trailers set up with the signs on their doors reading: Childers, Todd and Bracewell.
There were reports of 'hundreds' of sandbags on the roof that resemble a bunker of some kind. Lots of barbed wire all about, and a WWII soldier spotted with gun.
Indy125 reported how "I can't see anything but I can hear people shouting "bang!" and things like "cease firing" echoing down the lightwell. There's also a smoky haze drifting down."
There was also some dialogue floating down about "our new secret weapon"...
Spotted on the roof:
The Doctor
Amy (in the same costume as on the beach)
A dalek which is a grey/black matte in color
A Scientist believed to be played by Bill Paterson
Filming took place at Jacob's Antiques, but although it was inside, the intrepid set reporters have still managed to dish out the goods!
First off, there were a few trailer doors, which read: The Doctor, Amy, Enemy No.2, and Churchill.
Its assumed that Enemy No.2 is referring to the Daleks since Nick Briggs (voice of the Daleks) was spotted leaving the building:
Alun.Vega (the god who he is) has pieced together everything he's witnessed into a comprehensive and excitable account of what he thinks is going on:
As far as I can tell, the story so far is that Bill Paterson's character is some kind of Professor, a boffin working for Churchill during WW2. He believes he's invented the Daleks as a new super-weapon, though he's a bit fuzzy on how the idea came to him. The Daleks are stringing the Prof along, playing docile and very British.
DALEK: "Would you care for some tea?"
Churchill doesn't care where the Professor's "ironclads" came from, only that they have the potential to defeat the Nazis and win the war. CHURCHILL: "Death to our enemies... Death to the 3rd Reich!" THE DOCTOR: "Yes, yes, and death to everyone else too."
The Doctor is trying to convince the Prof and Churchill not to unleash the Daleks, but they're not taking him seriously (possibly because he seems implausibly young?) hence his growing frustration and anger, as he turns on the playing-it-innocent Daleks:
THE DOCTOR: "I sent you back into the void. I saved the whole of reality from you. I am the Doctor, and you are the DALEKS!"
The Professor (Bill Paterson) seems to warm to Amy, as they're both Scottish. I believe the Prof says: "Are you from the Islands?"
CHURCHILL: "You are my ironsides!" DALEK: "We are the Daleks." PROFESSOR: "I created you!" DALEK: "No, we created you."
There are LOADS more amazing photos and videos of the filming here:
A huge thanks to Scooty, Alun.Vega, Chick, baraduim, Supreme Dalek, ANobleToaster, indy125, Mark, Dragonmyst, Napoleon, Blogtor Who, and anyone else who has reported. I salute you all!

Filming today took place at Jacob's Antiques, but although it was inside, the intrepid set reporters have still managed to dish out the goods!
First off, there were a few trailer doors, which read: The Doctor, Amy, Enemy No.2, and... Churchill.
Its assumed that Enemy No.2 is referring to the Daleks since they've apparently been code named that before. Plus Nick Briggs (voice of the Daleks) was spotted leaving the building:
And apparently, the scene today included the Doctor, Churchill and Bill Paterson who is playing a professor type person.
There weren't any actual sightings of Churchill (or whoever is playing him) but its still exciting to think about it... WWII, Churchill, Daleks... Oh, I have shivers!
As well as this, two lines were distinctly heard. The first coming from a Dalek, though not really a Dalekesque thing to say:
"WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEA?"
And the second from the Doctor himself, and absolutely amazingly provided for us from Alun.vega (the legend)
Good first lines to hear from Smithy!
A huge HUGE thanks to Alun.vega, Scooty, Chick, and any other noble set reporters. I salute you all!
Filming has been going on today at North Road, and its all excitement!
First up, there were some trailers set up with the signs on their doors reading: Childers, Todd and Bracewell.
A crane was also present near the Psych building, firstly removing ducts and other materials from the roof, but then afterwards it was used to lift things onto the roof of the Glamorgan building...
There's been further report on 'hundreds' of sandbags on the roof that resemble a bunker of some kind. Lots of barbed wire all about, and a WWII soldier spotted with gun.
Indy125 reported how "I can't see anything but I can hear people shouting "bang!" and things like "cease firing" echoing down the lightwell. There's also a smoky haze drifting down."
There was also some dialogue floating down about "our new secret weapon"...
Spotted on the roof so far:
The Doctor
Amy (in the same costume as on the beach)
Barnaby Edwards (the usual Dalek operator) and A DALEK which is a grey/black matte in color
A Scientist believed to be played by Bill Paterson
Apparently there will also be Daleks and the TARDIS on the roof tonight...
A huge thanks to Chick, Scooty, baraduim, Supreme Dalek, ANobleToaster, indy125, Mark, Dragonmyst, Napoleon and anyone else who ventured forth to the lands of filming. I salute you!
