Friday, June 20, 2014: A Marvelous Experience

11:23 pm
Wow! A huge day yesterday - we woke up in Kentish Town and ended up in Bristol. So complicated! So, first we took a tube to Paddington Station, where we changed to the National Rail to Bristol. Our friend Nick picked up our luggage, and we went to Cardiff, Wales for the Doctor Who Experience.

First, we took the walking tour. The guide explained everything within 1.5 miles that had starred in Doctor Who or its spin-offs, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood. Then we went into the building and the fun began.

There was a Dalek scene (see an earlier post), Weeping Angels (see video below), Cybermen, the Doctor, and the Pandorica (look all these things up on the Doctor Who Wiki, Tardis Data Core).
If you don't know what a Weeping Angel is, watch this short video:

After that, we went through the exhibition, which featured clothing, props, costumes and much, much more from the TV series. Here are just a few of the things we saw:
The interior of the TARDIS from 2010-2013
Rose Tyler's outfit from 2008
The War Doctor's version of the TARDIS
A chained Weeping Angel from 2012's The Angels Take Manhattan
A Wooden Cyberman from the most recent episode, The Time of the Doctor
A Sontaran from 2008's The Sontaran Stratagem/The Poison Sky
 After that, we happened to stumble upon the shop, where I purchased Spin & Fly TARDIS, rare Cyberman action figure, Seventh Doctor audio and a 2-in-1 novelization of 2 classic episodes from the '70s.

Toodles!
