Who Goes There – 50th Anniversary Edition

Who Goes There – 50th Anniversary Edition

Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk

Exploring the new filming locations of the 50th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who.

A new edition of Who Goes There, the humorous travel guide exploring the bizarre filming locations of Doctor Who (past and present), is published by Legend Press on 31st October 2013.

Written by sci-fi journalist and Who fanatic Nick Griffiths, the new chapters explore the filming locations used in the new 50th Anniversary episode ‘The Day of the Doctor’, to be aired on 23rd November.

To update the book, Nick travelled to Wales in the summer to explore the filming locations of the new episode, which include: Gelligaer Common, Ivy Tower, Cwmdare Street, Gladstone Primary School, Mamhilad Park Industrial Estate, Mod Caerwent and Chepstow Castle. Who Goes There is the sequel to Nick’s hugely popular Doctor Who memoir, Dalek I Loved You. It’s a travel book with Doctor Who at its core. Nick travels England and Wales, seeking locations used in the show, both Classic (pre-relaunch) and New.

Being an odd kind of show, its locations too are odd. This is no glamorous trip. Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, anyone? A flooded china clay pit in Cornwall? As he travels, so Nick discovers another side to our well-trodden country, which is no less evocative. Then he goes to the pub. As in Dalek I Loved You, the travel writing is backed up by Nick’s childhood reminiscences and contemporary musings.
