Nearly over

June 25th, 2010 No Comments »

I’m now entering the final phase of my degree hence the slow procession of updates to my blog. I’m starting on the last assignment for the last course which in theory will all be over by the end of September – although I hope to have completed the project way before then. The first stage involves a project plan which I need to get cracking on really…..

another missed blog post would have been about last week’s Doctor Who episode which did indeed feature the Roman camp photographed earlier in the year, but sadly the image comparison I had planned was scuppered by The Wife who promptly deleted the recording from the FreeSat box. The camp had been enhanced slightly making it several times the size and extending way back towards the hills, and the trees housing Go Ape were easily identifiable at several points throughout including the scene in which we see Rory poking his head through the tent entrance as he volunteers to help The Doctor.


Doctor Who in Margam Park – Update

Remember this post? Well from the preview of the next episode it appears that the very same Roman style camp will be appearing at some point this Saturday evening – keep your eyes open.

Doctor Who?

During a walk through Margam Park earlier this morning, we came across a car park full of crew vehicles for supporting a decent sized film crew… so we carried on past until we noticed a small area with light rigs next to a Roman-style camp. Now… rumour has it that they are filming Doctor Who in the park at some point so I took a few sneaky photos so I can keep an eye out in the new series. The photos are below and they show what appears to be a series of small and large tents (some covered by protective polythene sheets), some golden eagles on poles, some crossbows and arrows, and a lot of tape to mark the layout.
