FILMING IN QUEEN STREET

Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman were filming in Queen Street, Cardiff today despite the heavy rain. Capaldi was sporting his new costume, with Jenna still wearing her outfit from The Time of the Doctor.

CAPALDI HARKS BACK TO THE PAST

The BBC have released an image of Peter Capaldi's costume. It reminds us of Pertwee. Strange really, as Matt Smith's original costume was very Troughton!

WHO AND SMITH PICK UP NTAs!

Doctor Who fans rejoiced last night as the show was crowned 'Most Popular Drama' at the National Television Awards, alongside Matt Smith who won for 'Most Popular Drama Performance'.

The awards have been running since 1995, and broadcast by ITV, considered to be the most prominent UK awards ceremony to be voted by the general public.

Who's victory in 'Most Popular Drama' included other nominations such as Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey and Broadchurch, whilst Matt Smith beat the likes of Maggie Smith, Martin Clunes and Miranda Hart - a category that is now shared by actors and actresses alike.

While Jenna Coleman and Steven Moffat accepted the award for 'Most Popular Drama', Matt Smith was unable to attend the ceremony due to his currently-running performance in the musical adaptation of American Psycho. Making up for his absence, he still managed to send a rather eccentric thank you video, displayed at the ceremony itself:

BBC IPLAYER FIGURES!

It's official: Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special, 'Day of the Doctor' was the most watched programme on the Beeb's streaming service in the whole of 2013.

With a whopping 3.2 million people watching said episode, it's no surprise that there's no sign of the show's appeal slowing down while we wait for Capaldi's full debut appearance.

With that in mind, fans are already searching for the smallest of clues for how the next series might kick off. For the time being, here is a (very) short clip of the latest episode being filmed, featuring the Doctor himself - showing off his mechanical horse-riding skills through the very Victorian-looking streets of Cardiff. Enjoy!

SERIES 8 HAS NOW BEGUN FILMING!

Those of us lucky enough to be in Cardiff know full well that the show's eighth series and the first to feature Peter Capaldi has officially begun.

Filming has taken place at Roath Lock studios as well as various other locations around the city. Alongside this announcement, the BBC have also revealed the first official image of Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor as he is in the upcoming series:
