Jenna-Louise Coleman popped by the Craig Ferguson show last night to chat about the upcoming season of Doctor Who.

During their chat, Ferguson and Coleman checked out the collection of TARDIS props that Ferguson has. Ferguson is a huge fan of the series and often incorporates it into his program. They also talk about Coleman’s background coming from Blackpool.

The interview starts with a brief glimpse at some new footage of the Doctor and Clara zooming towards Parliament on a motorbike over Westminster Bridge.

In an interview with BBC America, Jenna-Louise Coleman described the motorbike experience.

The series opener ‘The Bells of Saint John’ is a modern day urban thriller, which sees the Doctor and Clara face a monster in the Wi-Fi, as minds are uploaded by an organization run by Miss Kizlet (Celia Imrie). Set in London, Jenna was thrown in to the deep end as she was asked to get on a motorbike…driven by the notoriously clumsy Matt Smith.

“I loved shooting in London,” says Jenna, “it was so much fun. It was one of those moments where I thought ‘I’m filming Doctor Who, on a motorbike, riding across Westminster Bridge with the Houses of Parliament in the background.’” So would Jenna trust Matt to drive her on a motorbike in real life? “Well on screen it looks very exciting, but both of us were being very silly as we were so tightly strapped in. I just clung on!”.

Blogtor Who also has some additional footage from the episode as was shown on The Jonathan Ross Show in the U.K.

Matt Smith also sounded off on the newest episodes stating to BBC America:

“Along with a new costume this series, the Doctor has a new TARDIS to travel through space and time. Walking on to the new TARDIS was like the first day at school,” explains Matt. “I actually found it quite difficult as I had got so used to the rhythm of acting on the old one, where I used to slide about on the glass floor, but Michael Pickwoad has done a fabulous job,” he continues. “This one is more like a machine.”

So what do fans have to look forward to this series? An urban thriller, ‘The Bells of Saint John,’ brings the series back with a bang as the Doctor’s search for Clara Oswald takes him to modern-day London, where Wi-Fi is everywhere. But something dangerous is lurking in the signals, picking off minds and imprisoning them. Filming for this James Bond-esque thriller took Matt to Westminster Bridge. “The Southbank and St Paul’s, amazing, I loved shooting in London,” says Matt, “there is something so brilliant about having the locations there rather than just adding them in.”

Do you think you’ll like this “James Bondesque” first episode?
