Series 6, day 1
After a moderate amount of build-up on Twitter last week, with director Richard Clark and writers Neil Gaiman and Mark Gatiss all providing glimpses of pre-production, the filming of Series 6 finally started today. At first it seemed that all we'd get would be tweets from @rclarkie, recording completion of the first shot and scene, but at lunchtime the production base was spotted and the game (as another Moffat/Gatiss character recently said) was afoot on!
The location proved easy enough to find, but turned out to be very private: an old nursing home in Pontcanna. Interestingly, a recent report in the South Wales Echo confirms its current popularity as a filming location.
For what they're worth, the pictures feature the (barred) entrance to the location off Romilly Road, and the base in Sophia Gardens.
Oh, and then it started to rain :)
