I love Clara's hair and Jenny's dress/outfit!

[darkestboy]

Is it me or is Tom Ward extremely hot in that Victorian get up?

Seconding on Clara's hair, great look for her.

I've been googling pictures of him for the past twenty minutes.

Best decision I've made today.

It's not just you. : )

tom ward

hello

So does this mean she's from a different time period? Or is she just visiting and we'll find out where she's from in a different scene?

[darkestboy]

We don't know but it's the Christmas special they're filming - her debut episode, so it's very possible she is from Victorian times or maybe it's an Ace type scenerio and she's a modern girl who ends up there for reasons unknown.

No one knows yet for certain, but this is the third episode filmed that has her in the Victorian period (the other two are Mark Gatiss' The Crimson Horror with Dame Diana Rigg and Vastra/Jenny/Strax, and I think the Neil Cross story with Dougray Scott) so there seems to be a good chance either she is from the mid-to-late 1800s or she's kind of like Ace and a girl-out-of-time that the Doctor finds there.

My suspicion is that she's from the twenty-first (or at most, late twentieth) century, but got to the eighteen hundreds through some sort of involuntary time travel. If so, I predict that whatever brought her there is not going to be revealed in her debut episode, at least not completely. Furthermore, I predict that she and the Doctor will realize that they're talking to a person-out-of-time at approximately the same moment, leading to satisfying amounts of Eleventy-flail.

What's more, if they're going with the girl-out-of-time thing, it seems enough like a deliberate Classic Who callback that I predict tentatively predict really, really fondly hope this means Sophie Aldred is showing up for one of the fiftieth anniversary specials.

Just popping in to say that although the article is from the Daily Fail, they've got it all right. I was there while they were filming yesterday.

Also agreeing with anyone who says Tom Ward is hot, all of the girls that were watching just sort of stared XD We are not ashamed at all.

And as a further note. Matt was around in the early morning (he said "Hi guys!" to me and two others who were there)
