Those that know me well are clear that I’ve been a Doctor Who fan since I was knee high to grass hopper. When I used to play with a friend at the tender age of 5 or 6 I would play The Doctor and she would be the companion. Lots of running around the house or down the street shouting, “Doctor!!!” and pretending that the hallway was the TARDIS. However the hallway was just a boring hallway and it wasn’t bigger on the inside, no matter how much imagination we had. We even had to make the Worp Worp sound ourselves.
So can you image the feeling I got today when I visited the BBC in Cardiff and opened the doors to the real TARDIS set.
My face beamed with delight as the door opened and I was seeing the actual console room in front of me, all lit up. It was a dream come true.
Also the sheer size of it took my breath away. I was like a kid in a sweet shop and couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate my love of this show and the 50th Anniversary. I also decided to do some running down corridors for good measure…
I even got to say hello to a Weeping Angel and a Dalek!!!
The 6-hour drive there and back was very tiring but for me it was well worth the once in a lifetime visit.
