Back in 2005, Doctor Who literally exploded back onto our screens, when the London department store that Rose worked at went up in flames… except for the London part. The scene in question was actually shot on St Mary’s street, using House of Fraser as a stand in. Shops on St Mary’s Street and in Queens Arcade are also used later in the episode as well as during the series 2 opener (and  David Tennant’s debut) ‘The Christmas Invasion.’
