Doctor Who: A Quick Look at the Set of Series Ten
By David Hill
Ever want to be able to take a look behind the scenes and see what it is like to film Doctor Who? Pearl Mackie has given us a couple of glimpses as to what is going on as filming begins on the upcoming season.
Series Ten of Doctor Who still feels as though it is a long way off. Yes, we know that they have begun filming, but it is just words until we get to see something tangible. That brief glimpse of Pearl Mackie as Bill, while it was just a minute or two long, only served to whet our appetite for the upcoming adventures.
Thanks to Mackie, however, we are getting a few looks at what things are like behind the scenes. So far, the Doctor Who Twitter account posted a picture and a video of Mackie on set during production. She gushed excitedly about the fans and how the crew was turning a warm June day into a winter paradise.
Here is the picture:
And here is the video:
Of course, we did not get much more information from these things, but it is enough to start speculation amongst the fans. It had already been said that she was not going to join the Doctor during the Christmas special this year, but has that changed? Or is she just there to get a sense for how everything works in regards to filming and to see everyone in action? There is also the idea that there could be another episode that involves a snowy backdrop where Bill and the Doctor team up.

While we usually only get these little glimpses every so often as a new season begins to film, they still hold a fascinating look at the happenings of Doctor Who. We can see a little bit about life on the set, and enjoy those moments, however brief they may be. This time, as we get to see them through the eyes of the newest companion, a long missing sense of wonderment has returned.
