It is likely, but not yet known whether, production has moved on to Block 2 filming after the completion of Block 1. Each block will take longer than usual to film due to the production employing COVID-19 safety protocols.

Filming continued into the night with a lighting crane illuminating the viaduct.

Doctor Who film crews have previously filmed for Series 13 on Barry Island at Knapp Beach and Friars Point.


Eight episodes are planned for Doctor Who Series 13. The introduction clip for companion Dan (John Bishop) revealed the series is scheduled to air sometime in 2021, likely late autumn. The filming will continue into July, according to Bishop, who spoke of his involvement as a Doctor Who companion on Sunday Brunch February 14.
