@TWWL Really? So how does it work? The budget is set for a series and then what? The EX Prod goes to the BBC and says we need extra budget to go overseas? It would never happen! Think about your argument logically! Off course the script will suffer if the budget is used on transportation. Take the episode written by Neil Gaiman (The Doctor’s Wife) was originally intended to be produced as part of the season 5 but was pushed back due to budget constraints.

Being Australian this sounds amazing to me! And being an aspiring actress my absolute dream would to be in Doctor Who.. now to figure out how to get cast…

@Steve
That’s a different point to the one I thought you were making. Of course the writers have to write to a realistic budget, but that should have no real affect on the quality of their work. If a script needs half a million to spend on a bunch of ships blowing up, otherwise it won’t work, then it wasn’t a good script to start with. The writers will know realisticly what they can have, and then write around that; if they come up with a dud then that is down to them, not the available money for special effects or locations. You could write an amazing script set in a single room.

Squeee!!! Yes I am 38 years old, male, and I just squeed. That’s coz I am also Aussie, live in Sydney and am totally excited about this news!!!

I think it would be a great idea! The episodes set in America was a success and I think if it did go to Australia that there’s bound to be a jungle perhaps. I’d love for it to be true!

My street is verrrrryyyyyy interesting to film in. Just saying ;)
But seriously, totes getting my stalk on if it happens :P

They should film it in Melbourne!!!!!

@Emerald I just hope they don’t go to OUR Cardiff!! They’ll never return from that place of no hope mwa ha ha ha!!

there seems to be a pattern here series 6 usa series 7 astrialia and 2013 who nos :)

As an Aussie, shoot at a little place in New South Wales called The southern highlands. Berrima is beautiful and would be an amazing place to shoot. Also just because I live about half an hour away! But Eeep!! I just eeped, wow. First times for everything :) <3

omg film in melbourne please!!!!!!

Some where like Ayer’s Rock that they couldn’t shoot in a set in Wales and is obviously Australia.

Definitely in Sydney. Sydney’s such an iconic view for Australia; everyone recognises it.

I hope those guys will come to australia matt smith himself has said he would like to come to perth please it is one of the most beautiful cities on earth Melbourne gets everything dont be greedy Perth is the best city in australia !!!!! I think the next series will be the best ever
