'Who' special rewritten after bus damage
The upcoming Easter special of Doctor Who has been rewritten at the last minute after a double-decker bus was damaged during production.

Writers had to alter the script after the top deck was "badly damaged" as the show was being filmed in Dubai, the BBC reports.

Executive producer Russell T. Davies and co-writer Gareth Roberts were forced to change parts of the script as there was not enough time to fly out a replacement bus.

Show producers would not comment on future storylines, but a spokesperson confirmed that shooting is "continuing as normal".

It was recently revealed that former EastEnders star Michelle Ryan and comedian Lee Evans will star alongside David Tennant in the special, which will be called 'Planet of the Dead'.
