David Tennant has been spotted in Bristol today, as filming is reportedly getting underway for the Doctor Who 60th anniversary special.
Props have been popping up across the city over the last few days, including at the Llyods Amphitheatre and Clare Street.
People who have managed to catch a glimpse of the cast have been sharing photos and videos online.
Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees says it's great to see the popular sci-fi show filming in the city: "As well as putting Bristol on the small and big screen, film and TV production contributes over £140m into our local economy a year thanks to Bristol UNESCO City of Film, Bottle Yard Studios and more."
Earlier this year, it was announced that actor Ncuti Gatwa will take over from Jodie Whittaker as the star of Doctor Who.
The 29-year-old will become the 14th Time Lord.
Ncuti is best known for his critically acclaimed performance in Sex Education as Eric Effiong, for which he was awarded Best Actor Award at the Scottish BAFTA’s in 2020.
