The BBC released a video depicting some filming of the third episode of Doctor Who Series 12, Orphan 55.

The cast and crew shared some photos from the filming.

The location filming for the episode took place in the tunnel of a former underground bunker now used for a shooting range on Barry Island and in Tenerife in the Canary islands.

Filming in Tenerife began with a base in Los Gigantes April 2-4. The crew traveled to the volcano Mount Teide to film the desolate landscape of the planet Orphan 55.

Makeup effects artist, sculptor, painter and monster maker Javier Aliaga shared two posts of the creation of the Dreg.

I almost had forgotten about this one! Bumped with an article online about DW ratings beign at its lowest and learned about this was on tv already. Sculpting the head of the Alpha Dreg for the latest episode of Doctor Who. Was asked to design this creature on Zbrush and also worked on many parts of the suits including this sculpt and painted the main one creating the paintjob based on my renders. #dreg #doctorwho #art #creepy #creaturedesign #monster #sculpture #sculpting #creaturesuit #javieraliaga #zbrush #clay

Final renders of the model for the Dreg creatures I sculpted on Zbrush. The suits had several changes along the way (head and face, purple veins instead of red..) The Alpha Dreg suit for wich I sculpted the head and stablished a paintjob for it and guidelines for the ones I did not paint was worn by Spencer Wilding, I lifecasted his head and hands as well. #doctorwho #dreg #javieraliaga #zbrush #keyshot #wacom #msi #rendering3d #creaturedesign #monster #3dart #darkart #3dartist #creaturesuit

In Tenerife with the dregs from #doctorwho Orphan 55… pretty scary in person especially if you don’t especially like the smell of latex and KY jelly 😬

Although they are obviously apex predators your average Dreg does struggle a bit for fresh air – fortunately the costume dept is on hand with a little battery powered blower to keep them going… #doctorwho

The production moved to Santa Cruz, Tenerife on April 5 to film outside of the Auditorio de Tenerife.

Tenía un sueño y se cumplió, que era participar como actriz en una serie de TV, y a base de esfuerzo y trabajo mi sueño se cumplió y fue mayor. Participar como actriz para la cadena de televisión BBC que se ve a nivel mundial. Llegó la hora de poder subir las fotos que hasta ahora eran secretas de mi participación como actriz de reparto para la serie “Doctor Who” @doctorwho_bbca de la BBC que se grabó aquí en Canarias en abril del año pasado y que se emitió el capítulo 55 “Orfand” por la BBC. Para mi fue una gran alegría y me dio mucha ilusión cuando me llamaron de la agencia que me representa aquí en canarias @bewateragency que había sido seleccionada por la productora BBC. Gracias por la oportunidad y por la experiencia que viví ese día! . Mil gracias! No dejes de soñar y no dejes de luchar por tus sueños! #actriz #actrizespañola #doctorwho #bbc #seriebbc #serienetflix #tenerife #soñar #sueñoscumplidos
