Shooting was to far away for any accurate set reports over than it is the final 2 part story they are filming, and that they may be there for another 2 - 3 nights/days.

They have also been filming stuff around Amy's house for these episodes this time the Doctor, River Song, and YOUNG Amy were involved with no sign of Karen.

Interesting...if I wander past with my son is there any chance of getting near and seeing some filming do you think?

cheers

From what I have read, not a lot!
They started filming about 8pm last night, but no one could really see what was going on as they were kept to far back.
However you might be lucky and catch a glimpse of the actors before they start filming if you wander by early evening as others did yesterday, however I dont think they were in autograph range.

"the dread truth behind the fifth door"

"the Doctor's mistake in the maze of the dead"
"the secret of Aickman Road"
"the choice of the Dream Lord".
and...
....."He [The Doctor] and Amy join his battles against vampires, Daleks and the scary Weeping Angels. But the travellers (he mentions this AFTER confirming Amy(all) & Rory(1, 6, 7, 8 & 9 so far) will be companions) are in for a surprise when another companion is added into the mix later in the series. "

Really looking forward to this series now

SFX have a brief report and a few pics from last nights Stonehenge Filming
HERE

and a set report from Scooty, a Who fan from another site:

Well it certainly was a mad thing to go to Stonehenge and see the filming, but I can't tell you how amazing it was seeing the Neolithic stones list up in the mist laden night sky. This is going to be such an iconic and epic scene in the finale. I can't wait to see it! We arrived there about 8.30, and there was nothing to see, lights had been placed around the stones, but hadn't been switched on. Over the next hour or so dozens of cars arrived, a coach full of extras and Danny Hargreaves amongst others. Things kicked off around 11pm with Matt, Karen (in that dressing gown again) and River Song all rehearsing a scene in the middle of the stones. Braziers, propane bottles and a smoke machine were also being used. Unfortunately after about 10 minutes the heavans opened. I do wonder why they waited so long to film when it was pitch black my 6pm and not a drop of rain in sight. I do hope they managed to brave the elements, cos the cold was more than enough for us to contend with just watching!

Interesting interview with Moffat in this months DWM. Apparently they were going to dress Smith up as a Pirate, but Smith didn't like it and based his look more on Patrick Troughton's second Doctor.

I think its worth bugger all. Mine is in 'read a lot when little' condition. I've got a few of those weird 'Dalek' annuals.

I think they were still filming at Stonehenge this morning as I drove past - I did wonder what the huge lights were for!!

On proper news at the sfx convention today Neil Gaiman gave them a first scoop, he should be writing an episode of Dr WHo for 14 months time, so not this season but the next one.

Looks like hints the Silurians were returning are true. We all know the Sun have spilled the beans more than most in the past.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...Silurians.html

So Are the upright green lizard creatures seen in the preview trailer the new Silurian look (as I guessed earlier in the thread) or are we getting 2 different sets of walking green lizard type creatures int he new series? mmmm.

[Guest 10592]

Those are the new-look Silurians by all accounts.
