Set Reports
1st Report of Filming
"Theteam were filming in St. Woolos Cemetary in Newport today, a part ofthe graveyard was covered in snow and the place is teaming with actorsand extras in Victorian clothing. A vicar, a woman in red and about 10or so policemen are all seen to be running around and away from a pyre.Running away scared."
2nd Report of Filming
From the mouth of Scooty:
"Iarrived at the cemetary around 1pm today and was confronted with anawesome sight, Cybermen! And as for the scenes being filmed:
- Thecybermen march through the graveyard. Victorian people run away scaredand a number of them get deleted in the usual neck grasp style.
- Nowthis is the unusual bit - 3 actors, dressed in feathery cloaks arewearing bronze Cybermen heads. These three creatures run around thegraveyard, staying close to the floor killing people. The Cybermen whoare marching through, take no notice of them.
- One ofthese creatures - who we now know are called "Cybershades" - jumps offa trampoline onto one of the Victorians and kills him."
And a video of this filming can now been seen here, thanks to

3rd Report of Filming
Thefirst scene was a short one, and covered just the Doctor arriving inhis TARDIS in a Victorian marketplace. It seemed quite a jolly settingand Christmas songs were being sung.
It was very pretty, and snowing and the Doctor looked rather happy... and that was about it.
4th Report of Filming
A lovely, snowy, Victorian street... and the Doctor is going walk-a-bout!
Morrisey (with his Northern accent) and Rosita are also about, looking round corners and appearing slightly suspicious.
TheDoctor is seen leaning on some railings and looking about... strangelyenough, Morrisey is also seen in the exact same place a while later, asis a Cybershade.
Afuneral is taking place as the Doctor walks past. A Cybershade isdriving the carriage (though the Doctor obviously doesn't know that)
And here's a video of it, with thanks to Murray-Mint
Cybershade!
5th Report of Filming
Morrisey and Rosita run along a street, they stop and Morrisey says:
"The Doctor's companion will do what the Doctor says! Now go!"
The Doctor watches all this going on...
They also filmed a running scene with the Doctor and Rosita running past a building. Lots of Victorian people were about.
And heres a video of it!
6th Report of Filming
At some point, the Doctor meets up with Morrisey. Although I don't know if this is before or after the previous scene.
Morrisey's outfit looks rather... Doctorish
Can't say the same about the pose
Anyway,it appears that Morrisey approaches the Doctor while the funeralprocession is going past. Or maybe the Doctor approaches him, I justdon't know.
This might be between takes
He doesn't look very happy here
Aswell as this, the Doctor also meets up with Rosita. But we don't knowwhether this is before he meets with Morrisey, or after, or beforeRosita has met Morrisey, or after...
The other guy is just an extra... but nice costume!
6th Report of Filming
Anotherarrival/departing scene with the TARDIS was filmed. The Doctor andMorrisey were there, and although it was unseen, something along thelines of
"ooooh arrrrghh, so this is it then." were heard from Morriesy.
Ina different scene, the Doctor, Rosita and Morrisey were seen runningand ended up in a passageway where they hid. Morrisey mentionssomething about his
"memory not fully intact yet" and he also talked about some papers, and the words "
15 Latimer Street".
Morriesyalso had a belt strapped around him which what could either be ammo, orsome form of EMP device? (like what was seen in VotD)
Ina later scene, a lot of Victorian people were all running away from alarge explosion through an alley. Morrisey appears to grab a child ashe runs past, as if saving him from the blast.
7th Report of Filming
Along line of Victorian children were seen under the charge of theundertaker (from the funeral march) the Undertaker has Cyber ear-podsin which were flashing.
Heres a video with much thanks to Stuartguk
Thechildren march up to the door, and are shocked when they see twocybermen. They panic, and some try to run, only to be scared back intoline by three hissing Cybershades.
The undertaker then said something like
"Enter the court of the Cyber-King! That is an order - March!"at which point the children march past the cybermen, followed by theshades, scuttling along almost like dogs, hissing as they went.
TheDoctor and Rosita turned up, hiding behind some barrels and spying onthe kids being lead away. Rosita wants to follow, by the Doctor saysthat
"It will be too well guarded".
They rush off in another direction, only to be shocked to find two cybermen watching them. The Doctor says
"Whoa! That's cheating, sneaking up like that! Have you got your legs on silent?"
ThenMiss Hartigan (Dervla Kirwin) emerges from the building behind andstands between the Cybermen. The Doctor tries to coax her away, saying
"don't let them touch you, just come here, slowly". Miss Hartigan replies that she has nothing to fear from her
"shining knights".
The Doctor says that she can't be fully Cyberised so she still has free will and can break away. Miss H replies that she is
"completely unconverted... no-one can make me change my mind".
The Doctor realises that Miss H is behind the Cybermens plans -
"and it all has to happen tomorrow, on Christmas day? That was your idea was it?" and Miss H agrees. She then asks who the Doctor is and how he knows so much about her comrades.
The Doctor tells them who he is, but the Cybermen say that his appearance
"does not match the cybermens visual record". The Doctor then says something about
"ah well, The Doctor, Timelords, mumble mumble...".
At somepoint, Miss H orders the cybermen to kill the Doctor who says
"Ah well, wait a minute, let me die happy - tell me what you want the children for" and Miss H replies something like
"What does anyone want children for?"
TheDoctor then throws something at the cyberman, who catches it at informsthe Doctor that it is ineffective against the Cyber-race, at whichpoint Morrisey steps out from behind the Cybermen and Mrs H and shootsthem.
8th Report of Filming
Filming has been going on with DT and the Cybershades.
Itseems that the Cybers are using an Ironmongery which is selling scrapmetal. So thinking back to the bronze/rusty Cybermen, it would seemthat they might be a new Cyber army being built out of scrap!
Speculation
Due to Morrisey's trailer being marked as "the other doctor" speculation has started that he is either:
- A future incarnation of the Doctor
- A younger, past incarnation of the Doctor
- Some parallel, split version of the Doctor
- Just a Victorian doctor
And now I'll add the fact that Morrisey has a fob watch into the equation...
BUT,if Morrisey was in fact a historical character rather than a Doctorrelated one, then suggestions as to who he could be are:
Dr Faraday
Dr Livingstone
