Doctor Who filming...

**Shizara** · 20-08-2006, 03:59 PM

I hear that there is a suggestion some filming for Doctor Who could be done in Coventry sometime soon. Anyone heard anything?

Where did you hear that? It'd be great to see Darleks wondering around Cov.

The rumour came to me via some very effective bush telegraph (means by word of mouth) ... so no idea what the origin was hence trying to find out if someone else has heard it or knows.

Haven't heard anything about this - but will keep my eyes & ears open

Be sure to report back if you hear anything!

It would appear that we have some Doctor Who fans

Well, there was some truth to the rumour. Went to Coventry anyway and went for a walk. Lo and behold, a dead giveaway, Ryder's rental trucks and a Cardiff sticker outside the old Ford's Hospital. Quite a few of the crew around preparing the building for filming later tonight. - The road will be closed if you are planning a visit so might need to "beat the feet". The old Manor House has some goings on too.

I took some photos of the preparations before filming if anyone is interested. They used barrels to cover bollards, straw to cover the road, washing to cover the writing on the building and a tarpaulin type thing covering a sign on the wall and a decoration over the door handle.
