NEW Doctor Who Matt Smith beat the snow in South Wales today - proving that nothing can stop a Timelord.

While the rest of Britain was slipping and sliding around, Doctor Who's Tardis was flying around as normal for the latest BBC series.

Matt, aged 26, and new sidekick Karen Gillan, aged 21, were busy filming on location in Cardiff, despite the Welsh capital being covered by a white blanket.

A show insider said: "A bit of snow might stop mere humans but not the Doctor.

"Filming is on a tight schedule and has to keep on going regardless of the weather. Doctor Who can work around anything."

Smith is the eleventh BBC time lord and was filming a scene based in the present day in Cardiff Bay.

He has taken over from David Tennant who bowed out after two festive specials.

On location with Smith was flame-haired assistant Karen Gillan who plays new sidekick Amy Pond.

    “The regeneration in Stolen Earth wasn't a full regeneration--David Tennant was always the 10th Doctor. Which makes Matt Smith officially the 11th. Can't wait to see him in action!”
