Christmas Special 'Not set on Earth'

Piers Wenger Talks Christmas,
Matt Smth and Series 6

Executive Producer Piers Wenger has revealed in a recent interview with Collider that the Upcoming Christmas special Will 'Not Be set on Earth'. Piers explains "It kind of riffs on the Dickens story. There’s no one called Scrooge in it and it’s not set on Earth, but there are familiar archetypes from that story within it that will please fans of Dickens’s original". This will be the first christmas Special to be set away from earth since the first 2005.
Piers also goes onto to talk about series 6 and he Utah Filming: "The team left the UK on Saturday and is traveling out to Utah, to Mojave, where they’re filming some scenes. There are scenes set in New York and San Francisco. It is Doctor Who’s love letter to the States. Last year started with the TARDIS crash-landing on Big Ben in London and that was an opportunity for British audiences to be reminded of Doctor Who’s British heritage. But this year, it’s all about America, it’s all about taking the show out to the States and seeing what Doctor Who will feel like set in America and in some very iconographic parts of the American landscape".
