Fans of Doctor Who couldn’t believe their luck after discovering a new episode of the show being filmed in Bristol city centre today. David Tennant and Hollywood star Neil Patrick Harris have both been spotted on set filming dramatic scenes on Marsh Street for the BBC series.
The Bristol shoot will be part of the 60th-anniversary episode - which sees multiple Doctor stories intertwined - and will involve reprised roles from Tennant and Catherine Tate, who played his assistant Donna Noble in 2006 and 2008. It will also see the return of showrunner Russell T Davies, who revived the show back in 2005.
Scores of fans dropped what they were doing to rush down to the set in Bristol to catch a glimpse of the stars. Co-workers Daniel and Kate were both informed of the shoot by their manager.
