Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • While props used in Arachnids in the UK [+]Loading...["Arachnids in the UK (TV story)"] indicate the name of the street is Mortimer Avenue,[1][2] the geographical position appears to be analogous with the real world filming location, Shrewsbury Road; Sheffield Hallam University is visible from the street and dialogue in the episode establishes that Park Hill is within its proximity, as it is in the real world.

Though it's possible that a real world location doesn't exist in the same geographic space in the Doctor Who universe, such cases are few and far between. Thus, the map to the right is probably a good indicator of the DWU location of Mortimer Avenue.
