A few videos and social media posts from the production of the Doctor Who New Year’s special, Resolution have emerged over the past few days. Here are some of the highlights I found, plus some set reports.

From Newton Beach in Porthcawl, which served as both the setting for Siberia and the remote island where The Custodians buried the Dalek parts.

Obviously, my favourite bit of the special was getting to illustrate the Order of the Custodians book. I was very much inspired by the fascinating 16th century manuscript known as The Book of Miracles… pic.twitter.com/QfsitOAygd

My favourite illustration didn’t get a close-up, boo. Mitch has it open there on the left. Squint again! Below each of the illustrations I added a little description, giving some details of the battle… pic.twitter.com/A383nRkiDH

MDZ Research logo. I think I was going for earth, with the moon behind, and the sun in the distance. If you squint massively, does it look a bit like a Dalek, side-on? Probably a coincidence… pic.twitter.com/c3CQq8jmvg

Filming at the Smart Bridge at Cardiff University. Though the episode took place there, there was no location filming in the city of Sheffield.

The music.
There you go folks! The Daleks are back! It was my absolute pleasure to conduct @ChamberOrch_LDN at @AIRStudios for the @bbcdoctorwho New Year’s Day special. Amazing players, exceptional recording space and another fantastic score from @segunakinola #exterminate #DoctorWho pic.twitter.com/UeMvthB24T

The production designer, Arwel Wyn Jones, who will leave Doctor Who production to join the production for Steven Moffat’s and Mark Gatiss’ Dracula. There is no word on who will take over the production design for Doctor Who.
Thank you to all the Art Department, you’re the best. pic.twitter.com/kueOwQjQjg
