Filming is now complete on the first block of filming for the new season of Doctor Who.

Season 10 began production in Cardiff last month, with Pearl Mackie joining Peter Capaldi’s Doctor as new companion Bill and comedian Matt Lucas returning as Nardole.

The show’s official Twitter account announced this morning: “That’s a wrap on block 1!
Peter, @Pearlie_mack & @RealMattLucas have finished filming eps 1 & 2 of #DoctorWho S10…”

Episode 1 is written by Steven Moffat and guest stars Stephanie Hyam (Jekyll and Hyde).

Moffat has teased: “I want it to feel like Episode 1 of a brand new show. I want to leave just as it’s all beginning…”

Episode 2 is written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce (‘In the Forest of the Night’), with a guest cast that includes Mina Anwar (The Sarah Jane Adventures) and Ralf Little (The Royle Family).

Mackie and Capaldi have been filming Episode 2 this week on location at the City of Arts and Science Museum in Valencia, Spain.

The first two episodes are directed by Lawrence Gough.

Season 10 will air on BBC One in spring 2017.
