From The Guardian.
Doctor Who fans will get a glimpse of Pond Life in a new mini-series about the Time Lord's sidekicks.
The five short episodes will be shown online ahead of the start of the new BBC series on 1 September and will focus on the characters played by Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill.
Writer Chris Chibnall said: "Pond Life provides us with a lovely opportunity to catch up with Amy and Rory since we saw them at the end of the last series.
"It opens with them at home and gives us an insight into just what happens when the Doctor drops in and out of their lives.
"Travelling with the Doctor is one of the greatest things you can do, but it's fun to spend a few moments looking at the chaos he can also bring."
Pond Life will be shown online over five days from Monday 27 August on the official Doctor Who website and the BBC1 YouTube channel – it will then repeated in an omnibus on the red button on Saturday 1 September.
The actual series returns with the first of five full episodes on the Saturday at 7.20pm on BBC1.

I just discovered that last month the Doctor Who crew were filming the Christmas episode in the cemetery across the road from where I live. See pictures. 
You can see lots of location shots etc. on the Doctor Who Locations website.

We just finished watching the new series in Australia on Saturday. The season itself in terms of story arc was rather meh. Especially writing in a near-divorce in the season opener just to up the 'drama'. And to be frank, the finale, while handling the departure of Amy and Rory well, was rather average by Who standards.
However, Asylum of the Daleks gave a level of horror back to the Daleks and introduced Jenna-Louise Coleman in an interesting fashion, and A Town Called Mercy was a brilliant examination of the Doctor's morality. And while the actual story of The Power of Three wasn't much to write home about, I think we're going to be seeing more of Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, not to mention the story's villains, the Shakri and their masters the Tally.
BTW, before long, I'm going to be watching a quintet of classic series stories: Planet of Giants, The Krotons, The Ambassadors...*twang!*...of Death, Death to the Daleks, and The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

Olaf Petersen with the hairy arms. 
Actually, I love that bit in the first episode where Petersen is tricked into doing the 'intelligence test' with the coin during George MacIntyre's funeral, and I think he's still doing it much later in the scene.
