EastEnders fakes Who exhibit at St Paul's

On Monday 3 December, a BBC film crew could be seen filming with the TARDIS, a Dalek and K9 near St Paul's Cathedral in London.

However, it wasn't for Doctor Who but for long-running BBC soap operaEastEnders.

Actors Charlie Clements and Lacey Turner were seen on the location; Clements' character on EastEnders has been established as a Doctor Who fan.

A tent set up outside the cathedral bore a sign reading "Doctor Who - The Time Lord Revisited", suggesting that the EastEnders characters will be shown visiting a Doctor Who exhibition.

The TARDIS and Dalek props were provided by an effects company that makes props for Doctor Who and Torchwood; the K9 prop was a fan-made replica.

The Sun has a short item on the EastEnders filming.

Doctor Who and EastEnders have interacted before, most notably in the 1993 Children in Need charity sketchDimensions in Time, which saw several Doctors and companions meet EastEnders characters in a romp in Albert Square.

More recently, a specially shot clip of EastEnders actress Barbara Windsor in character was seen in the Doctor Who episode Army of Ghosts.

UPDATE - 5 December: EastEnders' filming continued on Tuesday 4 December, with classic series-style Cybermen spotted at the St Paul's location. The Sun has photos of the Cybermen, K9 and actress Lacey Turner. (NB: This latter Sun article has a major spoiler regarding the Series Four finale.)
