Series 8 Filming, Day 6

More filming took place today, this time at Victoria Place, Newport. It's the same place they filmed the final scenes of The Waters of Mars (in case it looks familiar). Peter and Jenna were not on set, but there was a secret actor whose identity was being kept hidden from the crowd.

For Doctor Who fans, this is happening on Victoria Place in Newport now: pic.twitter.com/7HcR84hhmD

He's in a house. Extras are walking past and glancing, then looking away nervously. Whoever he is, he's infamous #dwsr

He has a tophat with green dots on, possibly for cgi. He has several people following him around with stuff covering his face #dwsr

Just got a glimpse. Side of his face. Looks like it *could* be Steve John Shephard. Not definite though #dwsr

The standing rumour is that SJS is playing Jack The Ripper, who will be revealed as the Master later on. Speculation, though. #dwsr

Perhaps not actually. Anyone? #dwsr pic.twitter.com/gBPYQCsEeL
