Dr Who - A look at the new Sonic Screwdriver and other things

Here are some new photos from the Dr Who shoot. They include our first look at the new sonic screwdriver, Matt Smith as the Doctor, Alex Kingston as River Song and Karen Gillan as the new companion.
The sonic screwdriver looks a little sleeker than the old one. I wonder if the old one has been upgraded and passed to River Song?
io9 had the photos and they mention that the wreckage is a ship called the Byzantium - River Song mentions the crash of the Byzantium when she meets David Tennant's Doctor.



Not sure if Matt Smith is in character in the photo above or if he has just messed up his lines.

Dr Who - Look who will be starring with the new Doctor

Well we had the first look at Matt Smith as the Doctor earlier today and now here is a glimpse at a guest star from the new series. Yep it is River Song (Alex Kingston), the mysterious archeologist who has apparently met the Doctor many times in her past — and his future.

We saw her in the Shadows in the library episodes where you find out her and the Doctor were in love. In those episodes she had all the knowledge of it and David Tennant's Doctor was playing catch-up. I wonder if this will be the first time River meets the Doctor?
With Stephen Moffat at the helm it should be a nice twisty turny path we follow. Also notice how the TARDIS has a slightly different look to it. The next thing we are waiting to see is a look at the new interior. I really hope they explore the infinite inside of the TARDIS as some point.
What are your thoughts on River starring in the new series?
