TIMELORD OF THE MANOR

When BBC producers were on the lookout for an outstanding historic house in which to film a Doctor Who Christmas Day special, they stumbled upon a remarkable 19th Century Grade II listed stone-built manor in four acres of countryside, and views of the Bristol Channel and Somerset coastline.

DOCTOR WHO: AQUITAINE

DOCTOR WHO: AQUITAINE

The Fifth Doctor faces a black hole, ghosts and a friendly robot butler in the latest Main Range release! ‘The Four episodes just fly by – the story really is that absorbing: time travel, infection, greed, ethics, beeswax and tea-making have probably never been in the same sentence together, but Aquitaine has made it possible.
