I know that feeling. Where we live is constantly being used in stuff because of all the TV production companies down the road in Soho. Everything from period dramas to Trigger Happy TV's fighting dogs at our bus stop

We've had a few up here, the films Brassed Off and The Parole Officer probably being the most popular. Then of couse Last of the Summer Wine, Eleventh Hour (now that was mad, every non-city scene in that show took place in Saddleworth. Every last one).
Doctor Who needs to be filmed on the moors again

I've got to be honest I find knowing the locatation a bit distracting it tends to pulll me out of the drama, it's not so bad with Torchwood as its set here.But when Cardiff is suppost to be London i just keep thinking thats not London thats Splott !!
Knowing any part of Newpert is quite stressful
Yeah. I live in Newport though. Need to move ASAP
Handy for town!
Not much of a view though...
...unless you like mud, of course.
Not much of a view? I have mutli-million pound bridges being built over my head every day.
Not much good for a sun tan though, and the new footbridge is a tad noisy.
Interesting news if it's true, the 11th Doctor and bye bye RTD. Oh and I didn't like the last three episodes of the end of series especially the way the Master was portrayed (more like over grown schoolboy) and lastly please no more Catherine Tate! (yes to Kylie though, initially).
Thank GOD RTD is leaving. I really hope the rumor is false about Tennant leaving; with some decent writing for a change he could be an excellent Doctor. These 3 seasons were really bottom-barrel writing and sci-fi.
The technical side was pretty good, but the designs of creatures was pretty tedious more often then not.
Moffat knows how to write, turning in the most professional and memorable scripts of these seasons.

YOu know,I have to disagree with you re. the Master as portrayed by John Simm. I found him to be a great restating of the character. I think that to a certain degree he was portrayed like an overgrown schoolboy, and yet he brought a deeper sense of malace, and dare I say depth, to a character that had become almost a cartoon supervillian in the '80s. He was definitely fun to watch!
I kind of saw it as a Lex Luther "Smallville" version of the Master, Roger Delgado's version (and the others may have been a bit pantomime but that's the way I like it) will always be the blueprint for me, as for the rest of your comments I agree he did bring (Simm) something to the table as a villain but not as the Master, if I hadn't known he was the Master in the beginning (thanks to Derek Jacobi's portrayal I did) I would have thought that Simm was just a Public Schoolboy with special powers but needed to consult a psychiatrist (and maybe Tim Rice), but horses for courses and all that.
Please, no not Nesbitt. That guy irritates me something rotten.
Tennant has shown us that he can act well when given a good script and hopefully if the 'RTD leaving' rumours are true then Moffat will get a crack at the job. The scripts he's produced for the new series have been excellent so he's certainly got a good track record at sniffing out a good story. We had a taste of how good Who can really be recently with Moffat's Blink and Paul Cornell's Human Nature/The Family of Blood two-parter, so more of the same please.
That'll never happen since the Doctor is male. But there are female Timelords and I hope The Rani crops back up in Series 4.
RTD going? I liked him, but I prefer Moffat (for Jekyll and Blink). So I can live with another big boss writer taking the helm.
Nesbit? OH I hope so. I really like him, again just for Jekyll! Before that show all I could see was the (and lets see how good this advert is... do I remember...) "118 247" man (am I right? ).

Over at Outpost Gallifrey's forum, Moffat has outright denied anything about Nesbitt. Totally nothing in it, he says. Journalists making up stories, he says.
But, interestingly, he's specifically only mentioning Nesbitt. Not denying the part of the story that mentions his own possible role. Hmm.... rather marvellous if it's true, methinks.
