Hot off the heels of his success in Doctor Who, Matt Smith has started filming a new drama, Christopher and His Kind, 4RFV.co.uk has reported.

Weeks after Smith appeared in Belfast for the BBC’s Doctor Who pre-broadcast tour, he returned to Northern Ireland to play an entirely different part, that of Christopher Isherwood, a popular writer.

BBC2’s new drama concentrates on his formative years, where he leaves England for 1930’s Berlin and has created opportunities for young actors to get involved as well.

The article also goes into some detail regarding the UK Doctor Who tour that took place in March and where it went:

“Crossing time zones and space to materialise in five different locations spanning the length and breadth of the British Isles, the first being Belfast, then Inverness, Sunderland, Salford and Northampton.”

Each of these areas visited was treated to a screening of The Eleventh Hour, for the local children.
