Video: Giant polar bear roams the streets of London

An eight-foot tall polar bear puppet wandered Hampstead Heath and the streets of London last week, leaving morning commuters perplexed.

The giant Arctic animal was designed by a team of prop specialists as a stunt to promote Sky Atlantic's new TV series Fortitude.

Filmed in both the UK and Iceland, the series boasts a star-studded cast that includes Stanley Tucci, Michael Gambon and Christopher Ecclestone.
