Yesterday I made the journey from
London to Cardiff for a very special event screening two recently rediscovered
60’s Doctor Who episodes and since I’d never been to the Capital of Wales and let’s face it Doctor Who, I thought I should probably take in some of the sights. Fortunately I had the knowledgeable Paul C Robinson to
show me about.
 |
Our first stop was the Church used in Father’s Day.
|
 |
| Next up was the Torchwood Hub. |
 |
| The Millennium Centre. |
 |
| And The Wall, adorned with fan love for Torchwood, specifically Ianto Jones. |
 |
| I spied a familiar news item from Boom Town. |
 |
Next up was the “American” diner from The Impossible Astronaut.
|
 |
| Then Sarah Jane’s house on “Bannerman Road.” |
 |
| We then arrived at the site of the Crash of the Byzantium (where you note I am dry) used in The Time of Angels/Flesh And Stone. |
 |
| Which is just across from Bad Wolf Bay (where moments later I am drenched) used in Army of Ghosts/Doomsday. |
 |
| We passed the BBC Wales village. |
 |
| And last stop was Amy and Rory’s hometown, “Leadworth.” |
 |
| The next morning before I went back home to London I stopped to see House of Fraser, which was used as the Department store in Closing Time. |
It did rain most of the time I
was there but I had a great time and must say a massive thank you to Paul for
taking the day to show me around. After my day of sight seeing I was off to the
main event: Doctor Who – The Lost Episodes at Chapter.
