Doctor Who series 10 will start filming "very soon" - but don't expect lead actor Peter Capaldi to be any more forthcoming than that.

Capaldi had been sworn to secrecy ahead of an appearance on ITV's Lorraine this morning (Monday, March 7).

"It's going to start very soon," he said of the next series. "For some reason, I'm not allowed to tell you exactly - Doctor Who's veiled in secrecy always."

Production on the next run of episodes will begin with filming on the 2016 Christmas special, with work on episodes scheduled for 2017 to follow.

Capaldi also had a few kind words to share on departing Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat, who will hand the reins over to Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall in 2018.

"Steven Moffat is an extraordinary writer - and extraordinary creative person," he said. "But also we have an astonishing crew down in Cardiff, who I can't praise more highly."

So that's your lot for now. Still a little while to go before we find out who's going to play the new companion. Or who's going to star in BBC Three's Doctor Who spinoff.

Any day now... surely?
