Post Regeneration Threads (Mild Spoilers)

The first look for Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor Who is a long way from the tweed and bow tie we were introduced to in July, if recent snaps from location shooting in South Wales are anything to go by.

SFX have feature a small selection of images of the new Doctor on location, kitted out in what appears to be the last wardrobe change of the Tenth Doctor.

Faded Converse, pinstriped trousers, blue shirt and swirly blue tie - all torn and singed, suggesting that the recent regeneration has been a close call.

That's an interesting expression on his face too - I wonder that the Doctor is thinking...?

It certainly seems as though the current production block features the first episode of the Eleventh Doctor's run, with Smith appearing alongside a Karen Gillan kitted out in a rather fetching interpretation of a policewoman's outfit.

Of course, the real question is how do the two of them get thrown together? We'll have to wait until 2010 to find out...

The New Logo!

A new era means a new logo - and the Steven Moffat era of Doctor Who continues to take shape with the unveiling this morning of a new graphical identity for the show.

And here it is!

Combining a 3D design with the serif-bound authority of the Patrick Troughton era logo, this is the new look for Doctor Who embodied in visual form!

It looks pretty good, especially in it's mirroring of the Paul McGann colour scheme.

Plus, it isn't orange!

Get ready to see this new visual shorthand for Doctor Who on merchandise, books, Doctor Who Magazine, duvets and everything else that fans of the series like to spend money on - and expect it to instantly date the current "taxi cab lozenge" design.
