Doctor Who filming in Bristol begins with David Tennant striding through the explosions and chaos

There was an explosive start to what could be four days of filming the classic BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who in Bristol today.

The first scenes shot involved explosions, wreckage, crashed and burning cars and former Doctor David Tennant striding through the chaos. Tennant, who starred as the tenth doctor from 2005 to 2010 in the BBC time travelling hit, is back alongside Catherine Tate for the 60th anniversary Doctor Who special.

The director shouted 'Action!' for the first time just before 9am on a huge and elaborate set that has taken over the Old City area of Bristol, including Marsh Street, Clare Street, Corn Street and St Stephen's Avenue.
