London was lovely and Cardiff was very nice
On Monday we went to the Doubletree Hotel in the West End of London to put us more centrally located to various things in the city. Also Peter was signing at the Forbidden Planet flagship store that was within walking distance of the hotel.
Caroline and I decided to go to the Tower of London. She made a bee line to the Crown Jewels which she wanted to see because of the trailer for Muppets most Wanted. She really got into the mystery of the little princes and the tower. We went around and visited the Bloody Tower and where they think they found the princes’ bones years later.
That evening Peter did the signing and we had a lovely dinner with one of the owners of Forbidden Planet.
Next day started early since we were on our way to Cardiff. The train ride was about half an hour longer than usual due to water in the signaling system so we had to take a little detour to get around it.
Why we went to Cardiff is the Doctor Who offices. Peter got in touch with Neil who got in touch with the production offices who were gracious to invite us round for a look see.
I will say more of what we saw after the episodes relevant to what we saw have been aired so I will be making it part of the New Who Review. After the season is done, do I have some lovely pictures to post.
The most fun was that they were not shooting in the TARDIS so we got to run around and play on the set. Caroline was allowed to flip switches and levers to her heart’s content. It was so cool. Again I do have photos but I have to wait for the all clear before I can post them.
But not to be a total tease, I do have a couple of photos that have been vetted.

I am grateful to everyone I met at BBC Wales.
