Production Notes

»

Bute Street has been documented as being used in Aliens of London for scenes with the Doctor and Rose in the limo, but as that is all internal it is difficult to make out what they were passing on the street! It seems likely that this was along the northern stretch of the street, near to West Bute Street and the station.

4 Jul 2007: Anthony Soraka reported: "I popped down to the bay this evening, there was a little filming going on with an ambulance round the back of mermaid quay (one camera, an ambulance and some actors). Didn't recognise anyone as they were all covered up due to the rain, and no pictures coz of the rain."

Trivia

»

The scenes with the paramedic and the woman activating are inferred to be different parts of the city, but in reality the two scenes were filmed literally around the corner from each other by Mimosa!
