Dr Who started filming in Cardiff city centre (Tues 20/7/04). Howells department store
and surrounding streets have been courdoned off for the night. The scene being filmed
will form the first few minutes of the opening of the new series. I've heard rumours that
the first story features the Autons.
According to the series writer Russell T Davies, 95% of the series will be filmed in and
around Cardiff. He said the city was the best all round for what they had planned, a
modern city, a futuristic setting and it could also stand in for the 1800s. So that gives
some clues as to what is coming up.
They had just filmed some scenes in an abandoned hospital and an interview with the
new Doctor, Christopher Eccleston and assistant, Billie Piper were shown on a hospital
set.
Eccleston was wearing his Doctor's clothing which was a black t-shirt and black leather
jacket, he said he had chosen the clothes. He had short cropped hair. Billie Piper was
wearing ordinary young women's clothing, nothing out of the ordinary.
