your raving reporter- right where the action was.. strangely, while i was try to get a picture for you i was sucked through a recently closed worm hole in the fabric of space and time caused by the tardis's strange travels. at first i thought it was dickensian london (you know, the episode with the ghosts in the cellar..) but it turns out it was just the old curiosity shop. drat.

Awwwww.... but.. am so glad you escaped the closed wormhole in the fabric of space and time... by now, if you aren't already, you should be rather accomplished at pointNclicking and start competing with the bloke in the grey top that was all over the place in his quest for piccies.

Did he offer you a cigar?.........
Health/Safety concerns. Take care with the transportation of the glass plates. Prints required at least before they are accidently dropped.
Some superb on the spot reporting there chillitt.

There used to be a museum on dr who in mid wales, went to look for it the other day and found out they'd sold all the memorabilia off, weeks before filming started for the new dr who series. that must have hurt the owners, big mistake.

There is a Dr Who exhibition in Blackpool. Have been there a few times and can never resist getting in the back of an open Dalek, peering out of the grill in front and winding the plunger and egg whisker arms around. Wahey! "Exterminate! Exterminate!"

Yes I know, I noticed when googling. I haven't been yet but might be going up soon, I go on blackpoolweb, and we have meets up there. There was one down south at portsmouth too when i went isle of wight last year, and there was one at lancaster a couple of years back.

It really is worth a visit. We usually go for a few days to see the Blackpuddle Illuminations and spend a bit of time at places like the Doctor Who Exhibition. If you visit before I do can we expect some on the spot reporting and a photo?

Have they reopened the Dr Who exhibition? I thought it closed down years ago.
EDIT: Looks like it reopened in 2004: http://www.drwhoexhibitions.co.uk/blackpool04.htm

Coventry's actually probably a good location for filming - you've got the old bits, and then all the ugly modern things like flyovers and the like...!
Variety, eh!

So did you you see it? did you? The episode filmed in warwick was on last night. They managed to dress Lord Leicesters up so it looked just like a set made of polystyrene!!!

I certainly did see it! There may not have been any mobile phone coverage where I was staying over the weekend but was still able to watch Doctor Who. Recognised that hospital in Coventry where some of the filming was done. During the day they had rinsed some raglike material in what looked like dirty water and hung the pieces up as washing in front of the building, along with other tweaks to hide modern add ons.
The Globe Theatre also made a superb setting, and as for Martha Jones... an excellent choice.

I saw Cheylesmore Manor house in a couple of shots, as well!
It was OK, but lacked tension and oddly, atmosphere.
Give me the old series over this scooby doo version. (Apart from the last four years, which were dreadful!)
