The second block of filming for the new season of Doctor Who began this week in Cardiff.
Peter Capaldi and Pearl Mackie, who play the Twelfth Doctor and new companion Bill, were spotted in period costume shooting scenes for what is believed to be Episode 3, written by returning writer Sarah Dollard, who wrote Season 9’s ‘Face the Raven’.
Dollard recently joked: “I don’t kill the companion this time.”
Several photos of this week’s filming have been posted by fans on Twitter.
