The Little Britain actor returns as Nardole opposite Peter Capaldi in Doctor Who.

Peter Capaldi and Matt Lucas are back together again on the set of Doctor Who in Cardiff.
The pair, along with new companion, Pearl Mackie, have been filming the tenth series of the BBC One show around the Cardiff University buildings in Cathays Park.

Last night Little Britain star Lucas tweeted that he was back in Cardiff with a bit of a sore throat, but was seeing The Doctor first thing. The comedy class act is back as bumbling character Nardole, who first made an appearance in the 2015 Christmas special.

Luckily, Lucas is wrapped up warm in Nardole’s signature dufflecoat, which should keep him warm. The dufflecoat seems more appropriate when you think back to the snowy winter wonderland created on location last week.

But, as always happens in Doctor Who, there’s a lot of running around, and in these scenes the Time Lord and his chum seem in a bit of a hurry.

This series of Doctor Who will be the final overseen by writer Steven Moffat, who will be replaced next year by Broadchurch creator, Chris Chibnall.

Filming of the BBC sci-fi-adventure show follows Sherlock and Doctor Who spin-off, Class, which have been filming in Cardiff during the past few months.
