That's the beauty of our little community. If it didn't go off topic within the first 4 or 5 posts, then something's wrong. You can't just go by what the subject line says around here. Ya gotta just read it all! And forget about trying to follow a thread because no one uses the "reply to this message" link...we all just mosey on down to the reply box at the end. We're lazy that way. Newbies must get so confused at times!

I once saw a guide book to visiting Dr Who locations (possibly of american origin, but can't remember).
Leeds Castle is one location listed, and the directions for getting there were given as :
"Take a train from London to Leeds. Get in a taxi and ask to be taken to Leeds castle."

I wonder how many people actually followed said instructions

I think I used to have that book. May or may not have it still in storage somewhere - I gave away most of my Dr. Who books during my last move.

Be a damn short guide book wouldn't it ...

Dr. Who locations;

1. Elstree studios.

2. A disused quarry in Dorset.

End of book.

Bonus points go to Simon then I recon, and in case anyone else is still wondering, they're somewhere down near the Falkland Islands, (bottom RH corner of South America), which seems to be stretching the definition of a group of islands a bit to me.

That's why we all use flat view, because things can just get so darned confusing otherwise...

There's a hole in my creativity bucket and it's all leaked out.

The South Orkneys have penguins, the northern ones have Bouncies...

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Ah... I always wondered about that name. So they're called that because if you annoy them you get skua'd, is that it?

(I said I was a fine one to talk about dreadful puns...)

Dr Who wasn't only filmed in a Dorset quarry. It was filmed in lots of quarries, all over the country.
The legend about the cast of Dr Who running around a corner of a quarry and bumping into the cast of Blakes 7 coming in the other direction is not actually true, but it's a good one anyway.
Most successful plant in the galaxy: buddlia. It appears in sooo many B7 episodes, and probably a lot of Dr Who planets too.
