Cardiff Bay Drama Village…

The BBC’s Welsh “drama village” could be built in Cardiff Bay’s Roath Basin.

Proposals for the complex have emerged in a planning application submitted for the area.

The planning application seeks permission for a 300m long, 20,000 square metre building housing studios and offices with a distinctive façade and repeating motifs.

It will also have a gothic-style entrance inspired by some of William Burges’ designs at Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch.

The application to Cardiff Council states that it creates a “highly theatrical character for the building”.

The building includes several television studios to house Casualty, Pobol y Cwm, Doctor Who, Torchwood and the Sarah Jane adventures as well as offices.

You can read more about the proposals at Wales Online Here

Plans and an image of the proposed façade have gone on display at city hall.

Torchwood Hub entrance Flooded…

Tardis Towers…

Caerphilly Castle is playing host to a futuristic visitor over the Christmas period.

After travelling through time and space Doctor Who’s Tardis has landed at Wales’ largest moated medieval castle.

The blue police box which is located on top of the Inner East Gatehouse tower will be lit up during the night and will stay there until the New Year.

The castle was used to film some scenes for the two part Christmas episode of Doctor Who, entitled The End of Time.

The Doctor Who story you never got to see…

Why spend thousands of pounds to make an episode of one of the most popular TV series of the time, only to leave it gathering dust in the archive?

Thirty years ago, with only three channels to choose from, Doctor Who and Secret Army on BBC One and The Professionals on ITV routinely delivered audiences bigger than even the most successful programmes do today.

Yet between 1978 and 1979, the producers of all three programmes shelved a story from each.

The explanation has much to do with that period: economic decline, political inertia and industrial unrest creating a combustible combination.
