Christmas Special Filming: Cemetery

WARNING THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS. READ AHEAD AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Filming continued today on the Christmas Special today, at Cathays Cemetery, Cardiff.

Matt Smith, Jenna-Louise Coleman (Clara), Neve McIntosh (Madame Vastra) and Catrin Stewart (Jenny) were all on location with one scene of The Doctor, Vastra and Jenny mourning somebody at the grave, could it be Clara???


The three of them lay flowers on the grave and the Doctor storms off.

Madame Vastra: Where are you going?

The Doctor: To find her! To find Clara!

So this basically confirms that the new companion will be called Clara after all and that it isn't her at the grave, so who is it?

More pictures at the cemetery:





With Jenna-Louise also on set, she was seen in modern clothes, so does this put to sleep previous rumours? It does seem rather strange that she would be wearing modern day clothing when she was seen in Victorian era clothes for filming on this episode not so long ago and the fact that this scene looks like it is still set in Victorian times.


So it looks like it will be quiet a while until we will know the answers to these questions but what is 99% certain now is that Jenna-Louise's character is called Clara.

New Companion Clues

Filming on the 2012 Christmas Special has begun and some interesting clues have been seen about the new companion.

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS SO READ AHEAD AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Jenna Louise Coleman has been seen in Victorian-era costume, suggesting that this is where the Christmas Special may be set.

Filming reports of the second half of Series 7 have recently revealed that there is more than one episode set in the Victorian era. So could this be a coincidence or does the new companion (reportedly called Clara) come from this era?

Madama Vastra (Neve McIntosh) has also been spotted on set. She was seen filming Mark Gatiss' episode (reportedly called The Crimson Horror) alongside Jenny a few weeks ago.

So this sounds very exciting! What do you think about the new companion coming from the Victorian era? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
