A report by "Times Champion":
I will talk a little about what we saw later in the night (didnt leave until 3am sadly enough!) but first can I say a quick word about the crew in particular. T hese guys are amazing. So polite and friendly even though it must be a pain for 30/40 people to show up and take pics and generally want to know exactly whats g oing on and forget this isnt a convention or a premier, its a working TV shoot o n a very tight schedule. Regardless of that we had the casts personal security g uards chatting to us about the production, cast frame of mind etc, runners havin g a laugh with us (particularly when she told us she was carrying scripts and we tried to blag a look by telling her we had parts!) getting people autographs an d were even asked at one point whether 'THEY WERE LOOKING AFTER US WELL ENOUGH!' I honestly wasnt expecting much more than being looked at in a vaguely hostile way and be told to keep out of shot, but these guys do a fantastic job under dif ficult circumstances. Please if you are going along tonight and I imagine the cr owd will be bigger try to respect that.

Secondly the cast in particular Matt (although Arthur did have a few photos with fans) was lovely. He waved at us when he arrived and said hello a couple of tim es, and although more or less kept his head down when moving between set and the green room he said goodbye to those of us left at the end and told us to look a fter ourselves. Oh, and he ruffled a kids hair! The funny thing is that even whe n chatting with Arthur walking down the road he still came across as the Doctor in his delivery and mannerisms etc.

OK so finally what did I see? A lot of people have already detailed the filming at the top of the hill of the scene with the old lady and the rubbish bags, and I arrived at about 7pm so could only see them film this at a distance. Later on though although we didnt see it according to the radios that the security guards had a scene was filmed in a lift.

We then saw them moving cameras around to the side of the location wehere we kne w the TARDIS was, so managed to get around the back. We were basically the other side of a wall from the TARDIS and got some great shots when it was uncovered. (if someone tells me how to post photos on here I would happily oblige) the main cast then arrived and proceeded to rehearse and film the TARDIS arriving scene mere feet from where we were standing! We heard most of the dialogue etc of this scene and even though they knew we were there (the security guard even waved at us!) we were quiet and when asked to move as we were in back of shot it was pol itely and we did as requested. If others want to post the dialogue if they heard it thats fine, but although I am happy to post what I saw (there arent spoilers that the TARDIS arrives after all!) I personally feel it would be a bit of a be trayal of the wonderful crew to post exact details of the dialogue itself. Suffi ce to say that Rory seems as suprised at where the TARDIS has landed as some pos ters on here! Oh, and at one point Matt was walking around 'getting his head tog ether' behind the TARDIS, inches the other side of a wall we were standing next to - very surreal!

When they finished filming that shot we went back round to the entrance of the b uilding and then saw them film the follow on scene of the TARDIS crew walking up towards the flats where they earlier filmed the 'bin bag' scene. They had a cou ple of teenagers riding bikes in the background.
