Doctor Who set/on location reports thread

[Captaindemotion]

Is anyone else getting a "Third Doctor and Sarah" vibe off that shot of Capaldi and Coleman? Maybe just wishful thinking on my part. But I think they look good together. I like the juxtaposition of the older man and younger woman, which evokes the early Doctors. We've had enough pseudo-romantic Doctor-companion pairings this decade; I'd like to see more of a father-daughter or mentor-pupil type of relationship for a change.

Another site I follow (I think I posted the link in the 'new direction' thread) showed a similar pose by Three and a companion (brain fart at the minute so I can't remember who); him pointing into the distance and her standing by his left. So it's not just you who's getting that vibe.

One looked too Sherlock Holmes

I liked the Sherlock-esque costume a lot. Not as much as the jacket and bow-tie, true, but it was a look that I thought really worked for Matt

The Doctor and Jo, maybe?

^ Ooh, very cool. I don't think it's a shot that he'll recreate while filming (I think they're just having a conversation), but it would great if he does that and it's a deliberate tribute.

Capaldi looks more and more right to me as the Doctor with each picture I see. I'm really curious how he's going to play the role. Only have to wait for...damn...

With the recent reports of him being a superfan, I have more confidence that it'll be different than recent Doctors and, to be honest, that it's something he's thought quite a bit about. I'm sensing momentum for someone closer to Pertwee than Troughton or Tom Baker, but my guess is it'll be a mixture of all and something new as well (although I suspect an emphasis of certain Doctors over others).

@ Gov Kodos, yes it was the second of those photos which accompanied the article as a 'compare/contrast.' Thanks.

Your welcome, it's Jo Grant, played by Katy Manning in case the memory is still escaping.

^The brain fart has now passed, thanks!

 

[Mr Awe]

Ha! My prediction in this post that Capaldi's premiere would feature Vastra and her gang turns out to be true.

Mind you, it seemed pretty obvious, all things considered and I'm surprised more people didn't predict it.

I did!

Some additional set images have been posted on Twitter, you can see them here.

 

[Redfern]

Whoa! Starkey in Strax makeup but without his usual armor or Victorian era suit just looks bizarre, like he's morbidly obese!

^It's just that you can see the bottom of the mask, the part that's supposed to be covered by his clothes. Dan Starkey is significantly slimmer than Strax.

But as we saw it wasn't a silly pirate outfit, it was kinda bland...

Only because Matt vetoed the idea. Heres hoping Capaldi has the same good sense.

Looks like it'd be fun watching them shoot an episode trying to steal a peek.

I liked the Sherlock-style costume, though I don't think it matched the Eleventh Doctor quite the way his actual costumes did.

Coleman's hairstyle is similar to some that Elisabeth Sladen had. Also, her jaw and cheeks with that style of hair and color do invoke a feeling of Sarah Jane.

Usually Clara reminds me more of Zoe or Victoria, though.

Although the person Jenna Coleman resembles to an almost uncanny degree is Dawn Wells of Gilligan's Island. If they ever make a feature film reboot of that, she should definitely play Mary Ann.

Here's those two pix together

Yup, I always thought Capaldi's Doctor would have more than a bit of the 3rd Doctor inside. I wonder, would he be practicing some form of martial arts?

 

[Christopher]

Well, I don't want him to be a copy of any former Doctor. I just think it would be nice to see more of that classic older Doctor-younger companion dynamic, albeit in whatever fresh form Capaldi brings to it.

Moffat has given Capaldi pretty much free reign when it comes to his costume after Matt wanted the bowtie and Moffat wasn't sure about it...
The bowtie was a hit, ergo Capaldi can create/assemble his own costume...
