'Torchwood' ignites terrorist fear in Cardiff

The filming of an explosive scene for the latest series of Torchwood reportedly sparked fears that a terrorist attack had taken place in Cardiff.

According to The Sun, the BBC had warned police in advance that a detonation would take place in a disused building near to the Millennium Stadium, but the news had not filtered through to many of the public in the city centre, wary after the recent attacks on Glasgow and London.

A production member of the Doctor Who spin off, which will be screened on BBC Two earlier next year, told the tabloid: "The filming was planned many weeks ago before the recent terrorist incidents. We had informed neighbouring businesses but could not tell everyone who might be in the city centre. We apologise if anyone was frightened."
