Karen Gillan in "The Well"

The lovely people at Lime Pictures (who produce Hollyoaks) have sent us some hires snaps of Karen Gillan's role in the new miniseries The Well. Check 'em out below! Make sure to catch The Well, which is on BBC Two, this Saturday!

Doctor Who filming, 05.10.09

I'm so stupidly excited, I may just explode...

Hehe! New filming has made things very very fun!

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.

As revealed at 8am today, the brand new logo for Series 5...

The "DW" bit is the insignia and the actual words are the logo. Cool, huh?

Doctor Who filming, 02.10.09

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.

A huge thanks to GSSWales, baraduim, Scooty, Lucky Lady and anyone else who has braved the world of set reporting :)

She Drives Us Crazy

Auntie Beeb has given us some lovely information on the new new new series of The Sarah Jane Adventures... in particular, a Rani-centric episode...

The Mad Woman in the Attic
Part 1 (Thursday 22nd October)

Rani investigates strange rumours about a demon living in a funfair at the seaside. What she finds there, however, is far more alarming than that and she makes a decision that affects not only her future, but also the futures of all those she cares about...

Far in the future, in 2059, an old Rani remembers the day when her whole life went wrong. As her younger self investigates mysterious disappearances at an abandoned funfair, she sets into motion a chain of events which unleash the terrible powers of the alien Eve.

There's more!

Part 2 (Friday 23rd October)
Alien Eve's powers grow out of control, with everyone caught in her sinister and endless games. As the echoes of an ancient war threaten the modern world, the danger extends all the way to the year 2059. If Rani fails to change her own destiny, then everyone is doomed.

The SJA website has also put up some lavish new promo pictures, as well as a new Artists of the Future feature, allowing fans to send in their drawings...
