Cafe serves up a treat for Doctor Who fans

A DOCTOR has left staff with a spring in their step at a city centre cafe.

Workers at the Kardomah Cafe have spoken of their delight at having actors David Tennant and Katherine Tate filming on their premises.

The television stars were in the city to film part of the BBC's Christmas special of Doctor Who, and their crew took over part of the cafe for their set for the day.

The Luporini family, who have ran the cafe for many years, and other staff got to meet the stars of the show and got a sneak peak at the filming for David Tennant's last outing as the eponymous Doctor.

Caroline Thomas, aged 50, who works in the kitchen at the Kardomah, said: "We knew they were filming Doctor Who but we had no idea which actors would arrive, so everyone was so excited when David Tennant walked in.

"And then later on Catherine Tate turned up too and I thought, wow! I couldn't believe it."
