The BBC have announced filming on series 8 of Doctor Who starring Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman is now in full swing star at the Roath Lock studios in Cardiff.

Arriving on set for his first full day in his new role, Peter Capaldi said:

New job, first day, slightly nervous. Just like the Doctor, I’m emerging from the TARDIS into a whole other world.

Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, said:

First the eyebrows! Then, at Christmas, the face! Coming soon, the whole Doctor. In the Cardiff studios, the Capaldi era begins.

Ben Stephenson, Controller of Drama Commissioning, said:

Excitement and anticipation fills the air as Peter Capaldi’s Doctor takes control of the TARDIS for the very first time today. It’s going to be one hell of a ride and I can’t wait for the journey to start.

The first episode sees the return of three familiar faces from the previous Doctor’s era.
