Cannot believe it’s taken until now for me to realise FRIDAY in VisionQuest was Tasha Lem in Doctor Who 😭

Not too far away! But that’s Aberavon Beach in Swansea I’m afraid.

BONUS! This mysterious alien planet from the montage at the beginning of Army of Ghosts (2006) also just so happens to be filmed at Dunraven Bay… allegedly!

6. As Isaac Newton’s Garden (2023) - The latest appearance for Dunraven Bay was actually Dunraven Gardens, where Isaac Newton met Mrs Merridew and sat under a tree. Fourteen & Donna’s parts were filmed elsewhere and added in.

5. As Cumbria 1207 (2013) - This one’s a bit lesser known, the bay actually has a cameo-like appearance at the start of The Bells of Saint John!

4. As the Silurian Ark Engine Room! (2012) - This time the beach acts as an interior location, this is where Brian preaches about trowels.

3. As Alfava Metraxis (2010) - The site of the crash of the Byzantium, this just so how happened to be one of Matt Smith’s first locations he filmed at.

2. As Bad Wolf Bay… again! (2008) - Back again, except this time with double the Tennant!

1. As Bad Wolf Bay (2006) - This is the one everrrrryone knows it for, and as of yesterday it’s now twenty years old!

Today marks twenty years since ‘Doomsday’ first aired!
