A Doctor Who film crew set up a shot involving two actors and a huge new monster at Swansea University Bay Campus on 4 January.
The filming was for Series 14 of the programme. Spoilers follow.
The campus was set dressed with signs which said “FINETIME”. “DIAMOND PLAZA” and “ARCHITECT HIGH C.C. ARBROATH”.

The actors encountered a giant slug-like monster with tentacles and a segmented carapace.

We got right up close to the slug but they asked us not to take photos. It has tentacles all down the front, very creepy. #dwsr pic.twitter.com/x7VNJvBEOJ
