Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.
Doctor Who on Location was a Doctor Who reference book published by Reynolds & Hearn Ltd.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
From the deserted beaches of Brighton to the Highlands of Scotland and from the Eiffel Tower to the outermost reaches of the universe — the Doctor has visited them all on the screen in over 30 years of time travelling adventures. But behind the scenes, things can be rather different.
When the ideas and concepts in a Doctor Who script become too broad to be realised within the confines of a television studio, the production team often has little option other than to pack up its bags and go out to film on location.
But working on location can often cause many unforeseen problems not encountered in the safe, controllable environment of the studio — overnight snow falls, torrential rain, broken bones, lost wigs and uncontrollable animals — all these and more have had to be faced and overcome during the production of Doctor Who.
Doctor Who — On Location is an informative and entertaining look at the various trials, tribulations and joys of taking a complex television programme about the world's most famous Time Lord out of the studio and into the great and unpredictable outdoors of the United Kingdom, Europe and Canada.
