Pics: 'Doctor Who' filming in Croatia

Published Wednesday, Dec 2 2009, 16:32 GMT | By Neil Wilkes | 32 comments
As we revealed yesterday, the new Doctor Who gang have moved to Croatia to film a special episode of the new series that is rumoured to feature vampires. Not that we're suggesting you doubted us, but now we have hold of pictorial proof! Read on...

The coastal town of Trogir, Croatia:



What's that? Is it a market stall? No, it's the TARDIS!



And here's new companion Amy Pond...



... and The Doctor 11.0!



Amy with boyfriend Rory, who's come along for the ride...



What do you make of the shots above? Do vampires have a place in Who? Add your comments to this entry below!

Aaaaah! I live in Trogir! I walked down the waterfront and saw the whole set. I thought it's all about some usual coastal performance like we have it often here, but then I asked about it and they told me that they are filming a Dr. Who scene. I took pics imediately so i could show off in front of my friends xD :P :)

Doctor Who is a really great show, combining the past present and future. The Doctor gets into enough trouble... :) let alone bringing in a few Vampires..... to spice up the Plots.

Vampires have even been in the new series. The old woman in Smith and Jones was effectively a vampire... they were just called plasmavores. And that was a pretty cool villain, so I wouldn't mind more of the species. I LOVE Amy's sense of style... would very much like to go shopping with her, lol. I'm liking eleven's outfit as well (and while I feel like a bit of a traitor saying this) I love his hair. I do hope that the earbuds belong to Matt rather than the Doctor, however. I hope that Rory is more fortunate than Mickey was, because I wouldn't particularly enjoy a repeat of that plot, and Doctor/Companion has gotten a little bit old.

Anyone know if they'll only be filming in the Trogir/Adriatic coast area? Any chance of Zagreb being a filming location :D?

So different parts of Croatia could be used for two different time periods....well they do that for parts of Wales so.... Matt Smith's doctor is going to be great - why? Because Steve Moffat is in charge of it all. There's no logical way we can think the 2010 series - it's been largely written by the guy who wrote several of the most admired episodes in Nu Who (you know? Like 'Blink'?). The TARDIS looks different because of filming in HD. It'll look better than the old version (apparently). How that'll change from the old version looks to be really cool (looking at spy photos on other websites).

i think david tennant is the best dr who ever, but i think it's only fair that we give matt smith a chance before we start to slate him.

There's no logical way we can think anything else of the 2010 series - it's been largely written by the guy who wrote several of the most admired episodes in Nu Who (you know? Like 'Blink'?).

I agree Andy, that Tardis prop is a bit iffy..looks like something from Leggo land!....well dodgy. and they seem to have died the doctors hair dark....wasnt he blonder than that ?with it dark he looks a bit like Oddbod from 'carry on screeming' !
porky oblivion, on December 3rd, 2009
Vampires have always been in Dr who... 'State of decay' with Tom Baker and Lalla Ward was a vampire story.and in one episode of 'The Chase ' with the first Doctor William Hartnell there was a Vampire in the haunted house they visited along with a Frankenstiens monster etc...

Vampires? I can't believe Doctor Who is jumping on a bandwagon, instead of leading the parade. Sick to death (ha ha) of vampires.
Sam,Suffolk, on December 3rd, 2009
I think that Matt Smith looks arrogant and he has a face you want to punch. I love doctor who but I think that both of them are going to destroy it. David Tennant was the best. Can't wait until xmas day nd news years day for dr hu.

VAmpires have featured in Doctor Who before; in the Tom Baker story "State of Decay"...Also, the Sylvester McCoy story "Curse of Fenric" featured vampires of a sort (Ace called them vampires while the Doctor called the Haemovores. Also there is a novel featuring the Eighth Doctor called "Vampire Science", in which the good Doctor was a feared vampire slayer! So the idea is not new to Doctor Who
Jana, New York, on December 3rd, 2009
Actually, they're shooting two episodes in Croatia. Vampires in Venice AND Richard Curtis's story about Vincent Van Gogh (starring Tony Curran as Vincent). Two seperate stories.

Dr. Who has confronted Werewolves so why not Vampires!
