No they haven't filmed the Christmas special, they were doing the start of s10.

Except it isn't! The Christmas episode is due to be filmed in the autumn. They appear to be filming the the first few episodes of S10 before the Christmas ep.
Edit. Bugger. I really should read the whole thread before answering posts. I see that this was already dealt with by Sam....

So, when is the filming for the 2016 Christmas Special?


Cannot wait for the sneak peek/trailer at Children In Need.

Autumn apparently.

Presumably the Daleks will be a part of the Christmas special?

(I'm basing this on the agreement to have them feature at least once a year)

The christmas special will either prove or debunk that theory. Hopefully they aren't in it.

Um, no we're not. The only specials that were primarily set on modern Earth were The Christmas Invasion, The Runaway Bride and The End Of Time.

The Doctor, The Widow And The Wardrobe, The Snowmen, The Time Of The Doctor and Last Christmas had brief scenes on modern Earth but weren't mainly set there.

We do however need something big for this year's Christmas special. Something really attention grabbing that can hopefully draw people in who drifted away during Series 9 though. A multi-Doctor story might do the trick.

Not quite. Sometimes it's Bristol which is like going back in time

I am talking about New Who in general, modern Earth is always used.

I'm still banking on a Cyberman presence...

Well there's always lots of, er, presence at Christmas!!

Even I missed that one!
