Description
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.
The new edition celebrates 50 years of Dr Who. To update the book, Nick travelled to Wales in the summer to explore the filming locations of the 50th Anniversary episode 'The Day of the Doctor', which include: Gelligaer Common, Ivy Tower, Cwmdare Street, Gladstone Primary School, Mamhilad Park Industrial Estate, Mod Caerwent and Chepstow Castle.
