Doctor Who finds himself in the desert for the show's Easter special - so David Tennant and Michelle Ryan are filming in Dubai.Planet Of The Dead, which also stars comedian Lee Evans, has already been shot mostly at the show's headquarters in Cardiff, but some sandy locations shots were needed though they jetted to the Arabian Gulf.
In the one-off special, former EastEnders, Merlin and Jekyll star Michelle plays the Timelord's new companion Lady Christina de Souza, who joins the Doctor on a bus trip which takes an unexpected detour into danger.
Producer Tracie Simpson said: "We rarely take Doctor Who abroad although we did visit Rome for series four's The Fires Of Pompeii, which gave us some spectacular footage.
"The locations in Dubai are a perfect match for writer Russell T Davies's vision of the episode and we expect to film some incredible scenes while we are here."
Planet Of The Dead is the first of four Doctor Who specials which will be broadcast this year.
Written by Russell T Davies and Gareth Roberts, the episode will be screened on BBC One this spring.
Matt's currently starring in Radio Two drama Moses Jones.
The specials will be the last to star David, who is stepping aside to let Matt Smith take over the role.
