Its no particular secret that Doctor Who filming has been taking place on-board a “pirate Ship” in Charlestown, Cornwall.

From BBC Cornwall

Dr Who and his big blue Tardis have landed in Cornwall to film for the BBC TV series.

Big crowds gathered to watch Matt Smith battling with space pirates on Tuesday 1 February.

Charlestown has been used numerous times over the years for film and television productions.

Records show the St Austell village was first used way back in 1929 in a silent movie called Street of Abandoned Children.

The filming of the new Dr Who series has seen Charlestown’s popular harbour taken over by a film crew.

    In response to an earlier post by D Clarkson, the square sail tall ships are always based in Charlestown harbour and at various times of the year you can go on them. Lots of places to stay in charlestown, try here if you want to stay

    I reckon the pirates will be real, Rob. Capt Avery was a real man and is the central pirate in this story. From the sounds of things the aliens will be sirens…My personal hope is Sea Devils!!!
