Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special 2013, Jenna-Louise Coleman Talks Filming w/ Billie Piper [VIDEO]: Clara Oswald Meets Rose Tyler in November Episode

Though the news concerning Peter Capaldi's casting as the Twelfth Doctor for BBC's "Doctor Who" is pretty huge news, some of us have put the 50^th anniversary out of mind for a bit too long. The special 3D episode will air November 23 simultaneously around the world and brings back familiar faces to the current generation. Predecessors David Tennant and Billie Piper for this adventure will join Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman. Coleman, who plays companion Clara Oswald, recently opened up about the show and meeting Rose Tyler actress, Piper.

Here is what Jenna had to say about filming the new special:

"Because it's 3D, the way of shooting is totally different. The cameras are a lot bigger. It takes a lot more time with set ups, and actually filming the show. Also, just having so many people on set. It's such an ensemble cast, with the three Doctors, with Billie Piper, myself, lots of different characters.

"It was a really nice feeling because every day felt like a celebration. You knew you were part of something special, and part of the history of the show. It will be lovely to look back in a few years and be like, 'Cool, I was part of that whole thing!'"

But what was it like for the current companion to meet one of the most favored companions in the history of the show?

"This was the first time I had met her," Jenna said in regards to meeting Piper. "I heard a lot about her. Matt's really good friends with Billie, so I felt like I met her before."

Jenna revealed that the two companion actresses didn't talk much about their on-screen experiences:

"It's funny, the stuff you talk about is more like the logistics of like, 'Oh yeah, I used to eat at this place.' 'Well, actually did you know about this place?' 'Oh, I stayed in this place.' We shared notes on that kind of thing, and then we just really got on. She's great to have around. She's got such a good energy on set as well. We all had special chairs made for us for the 50th. In between takes and stuff like that, we'd sit around and it was just like a big family."
