Well hello. For episode two of the series places the see in Wales we're here.
Dunraven Bay, Southerndown on the South Wales coast.
Dunraven Bay, Southerndown South Wales, it's only about 20 to 25 minutes from Cardiff.
You may recognize it, it's been used in a number of Doctor Who episodes the most
memorable being Bad Wolf Bay, a location that's meant to be in Norway but only
five miles from where I live. Let's go take a look and see if we can
find some of the actual locations they used for famous scenes in those episodes.
I'm from the good old days of Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee
and I miss the old locations they used to use, what's wrong with an old quarry!
Maybe they should cast me as the next doctor, what would be my gimmick? Instead
of the TARDIS maybe bring it up to date and use one of those portaloos you see
for workers alongside the motorways, that's an idea. there'll be a strange odour wherever I go
I just have to interrupt to say this. It's December it's not particularly cold
but it's only about six degrees and there are people swimming, that's
correct.
Is it cold?
So that was a quick look at Southerndown aka Bad Wolf Bay
It's q really beautiful beach. You have check the tides
before you come, a lot of people get cut off, they walk down there and the tide
comes in and the cliffs are behind them so watch out for that. Check the tides.
Luckily I didn't see any Daleks or Cybermen.
A lot of families with dogs but no Cybermen, so anyway Southerndown, 20
miles from Cardiff, a thumbs up from me.
