He comes to Bristol for a special Doctor Who that is seeing David Tennant reprise his role as the tenth Doctor, that he played from 2005 to 2010.
There were apocalyptic scenes in the Old City area of Bristol this morning, June 15, as explosions, car crashes, burning cars, riots and chaos took hold on Clare Street and Marsh Street. It is rumoured that Harris is playing the villain in this special of Doctor Who, with his character being some kind of evil toymaker or shopkeeper bringing destruction to the world.
