New Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker films scenes at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane ground
The actress, who was unveiled as the 13th Timelord in the long-running BBC sci-fi show on Sunday, filmed a number of scenes at the Blades' ground and other locations across South Yorkshire including Doncaster last year.
But rather than for the upcoming series, the scenes were for a new boxing movie Journeyman, which is set to make its UK cinema debut later this year.

Whittaker, whose announcement as the first ever female Timelord ruffled a few feathers, is understood to play Considine's wife in the film which has yet to be given a UK release date.
But the movie packs a dramatic punch - a fight of a different kind.
After a titanic battle against Andre 'The Future' Bryte, Matty (Considine) returns home to Emma, but moments later collapses on the living room floor from a delayed reaction to a devastating punch.
