The Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol was closed to automobile traffic overnight from Tuesday, October 22, 7:30 p.m. to Wednesday, October 23, 6:00 a.m. for an “assessment” — and Doctor Who filming!
A young pedestrian who was on the bridge discovered the filming with Daleks, one with a new, black and silver design.

The filming is believed to be for a special in addition to the ten Doctor Who Series 12 episodes already filmed.
“Your DNA is impure” was the Dalek dialogue overheard from one of the onlookers. Since Daleks are strict about their racial purity, one might guess that a Dalek with impure DNA might be blown to bits by its fellow Daleks.
With only a short time of filming left for Doctor Who Series 12, we will continue to bring you more news on production as we learn more.
