DOCTOR WHO
THE CHRISTMAS INVASION, BBC1

The script called for the arrival of the Sycorax ship to be accompanied by every window in London being shattered. Whilst The Mill handled the wide shots of the city and the iconic 'gherkin', we were given the task of shattering the windows in one of the tower blocks on Rose Tyler's estate.  

Working at 1/6th scale, six stories of the tower block were constructed, complete with interior room and balcony dressing, satellite dishes and Christmas decorations.

A total of 111 individual window panes were shattered on each take.
