Today saw filming in Cardiff's town centre along The Friary, which has ended up featuring as both London and Cardiff during the new TW/DW era! Being a lot of filming witnessed so far seems to be set in London, it is unsure whether its the case this time, though there were plenty of Welsh iconography in general about to make "home" Cardiff more likely!

The Brigade Leader has provided a report and photosfor the filming.

Update Friday: the South Wales Echo and Western Mail both report on filming with Eve Myles on St Mary's Street. And Josie has also confirmed filming later on outside Black Horse Ltd.

Having filmed at Hebron Hall in Dinas Powys earlier in the week, the team are back to the "local" haunts of Penarth, with a house on Plymouth Road in use for yesterday/today (the road appeared previously in Small Worlds as Estelle's street).

Its been reported in the press that Cambrige University want to attract more filming at their building in order to better promote the university, citing soaps and Doctor Who as series they'd like to see produced there - with the latter mentioning a good place for a historical setting! (No mention of Shada though!)

Filming is continuing at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary today, and is also expected to film at the AJ's Coffee Shop on City Road later in the day.

There are a couple of reports on site from AJ's, and a couple of photos from yesterday's filming from Alun Vega.

Filming for Torchwood has returned to one of both its and Doctor Who's old haunts, the Cardiff Royal Infirmary. The interior has been used for hospital wards and like many times (most recently seen as outside the Royal Hope in Turn Left). As filming is inside, however, reports seem unlikely this time around.

This is South Wales has reported on the upcoming Open House weekend in Swansea on 13th-14th September, and mentions a Doctor Who tour that will will form a part of it. Says the article: "TIME-TRAVELLING saviour of mankind Doctor Who and the South Wales Evening Post may not appear to have much in common at first glance. But they will both be featuring in this year's Swansea Open House event, which gives people the chance of a behind-the-scenes glimpse at buildings not usually accessible to the public. Fans of Doctor Who will be able to take a tour of locations used in filming the TV series as part of the through-the-keyhole event, which takes place on the weekend of September 13 and 14."

There is also a more detailed PDF available for the weekend, which elaborates that the tour will run half-hourly from 10:30-3:30pm, commencing at the Guildhall.

Filming is continuing down at Cardiff Bay today, though this time it is all indoors at the The Coal Exchange, previously seen in Combat and Voyage of the Damned. Says I.C.: "there were quite a few (what look like) supporting artists going into the building at around 9:55am, dressed in smart clothes (suits basically). Now The Coal Exchange is currently closed. There is no business going on there, so putting two and two together I would guess that those people in the suits are involved with the filming!"

Filming is expected to remain inside the location for the rest of the week.

Filming has formally begun (well first publicly seen!) this morning for Torchwood down in Cardiff Bay, utilising an old haunt of Mount Stuart Square, previously seen in last season's opener Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. A brief report and clips are available from Scott Frankton, I.C., and The Brigade Leader.

Urgh! Well it had to happen, Cardiff Buses have changed the urls pointing to their bus maps. We are in the process of updating location links to reflect to new (much better looking!) maps, so apologies if any map link isn't working when you try it (if this is still the case by the end of the weekend please let us know!).
