The Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown were to visit Blackpool on screen in a script written for the 1986 season of Doctor Who. However, the series was placed on hiatus and a dialogue reference to Blackpool intended to close TV: Revelation of the Daleks was replaced by a freeze frame. The intended story was later novelised and later adapted as a Big Finish audio play. (PROSE: The Nightmare Fair / AUDIO: The Nightmare Fair)
Jenna Coleman, the actress who portrays Clara Oswald, was born in Blackpool.
Location information
Though it's possible that a real world location doesn't exist in the same geographic space in the Doctor Who universe, such cases are few and far between. Thus, the map to the right is probably a good indicator of the DWU location of Blackpool.
