Series 7 filming until December, plus other tidbits
The Guardian has a new interview with Matt Smith in which he discusses returning to Cardiff to start filming the brand new series of Doctor Who.
Production will officially begin a week today on Monday 20th February, with Scottish director Saul Metzstein starting the proceedings. “I am very excited,” Matt said. “We’ve got four or five scripts which look in really good shape. The casting’s going really well as well. I found out a lovely bit of news this morning actually, about someone who’ll be in it.”
He also confirms that they’ve “a long shoot” ahead of them, with filming scheduled to be completed in December. Commenting on the winter Cardiff night shoots coming his way, he revealed: “One of the scripts, a lot of it is outdoors. But hey, there are worse ways to spend your evenings than outdoors being the Doctor and running away from monsters!”
Series 7, airing in the autumn, has been described as being “the biggest series yet”.
All I’d say is that I’d like to feel the same way about Doctor Who as I used to. I used to really enjoy it and look forward to it, but I haven’t really been that bothered about watching Series 5 and 6 and that’s quite a big change.
I still don’t know what’s wrong. All I know is that for me, Doctor Who felt right with the 9th and 10th Doctors, but with the 11th Doctor, something’s wrong or missing, but I can’t say specifically what it is, as much as I’d like to.
I didn’t hate Series 6……..I just didn’t care, which of those is worse?
@TWWL Sorry, did not misread my message – “I have yet to meet someone who liked last years season.” – “yet to meet” being the basic point!
@Grace As per my message to TWWL – We don’t know that Moffat is changing his style for the next season. For all we know it could be another year of Soap Opera and babies again! Oh, with the odd attempt at a story line added.
Steve, please don’t joke like that. I have a low blood sugar at the moment and I don’t want to pass out before I can rectify the problem, LOL!
