Thrilling Adventures in Rhyme and Space

Some bizarre news. The new series of Doctor Who (with Matt Smith as the Doctor and Steven Moffat as Exec Producer) is currently filming in Croatia, my adopted country.

Pictures at this blog (scroll down to 30.11.09) show Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and a familiar blue box filming in Trogir, a small coastal town not far from Split. It’s in fact not far from the area I spent my honeymoon 4 months ago!

Rumour has it that they’ll be filming for 2 weeks, which is longer than the previous overseas shoots, fueling speculation that they might be filming footage for 2 episodes. We shall have to see.

Who is not a big thing over here, the new series has been shown on Saturday mornings and is billed as a kids show. Maybe it’ll get more coverage with the new series filming here.
