Filming for the BBC’s new Doctor Who spinoff, Torchwood (an anagram of Doctor Who) came to my office today whilst I was peacefully trying to get on with some work.

I had been made aware of the intended disturbance well in advance, so I came prepared with my digital camera and DV camera.

Stars of the show John Barrowman and Eve Myles were on set, but as yet I haven’t managed to catch a shot of either of them (most of the set is blocked from my view by cabinets).

The scene that they are shooting takes place in the call centre for fictional company ‘Passmore Telesales’.

The show is due to air on BBC Three from October 2006.

Update:
Nothing much actually went on all day, nothing Who’esque anyway. No explosions, screams, smoke..
T’was all a bit timid.

I’ve setup a flickr set for all the photos I get during the shoot.
