Manchester was a city in England.
The Sixth Doctor visited the Mancunian borough of Salford several times. In 1965, he was there with Melanie Bush for a brief, second encounter with the Wishing Beast. (AUDIO: The Vanity Box)
The Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, and Tegan Jovanka visited Manchester in 1993 (PROSE: Goth Opera) and 1819 (AUDIO: The Peterloo Massacre).
In 2004, Iris Wildthyme and Panda visited Manchester. (PROSE: The Shape of Things)
During the 2000s, Manchester was one of the main cities affected by the terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of over 1000 people within the UK. (AUDIO: The Longest Night)
In 2008 there was Combat 3000 game store in Manchester; at least one child, Jack, went missing after playing the game. (TV: Warriors of Kudlak)
Later, in 2008, the Sixth Doctor twice visited the borough with Charley Pollard, on both occasions meeting D.I. Menzies. (AUDIO: The Condemned, The Raincloud Man)
There was a suite called the Manchester Suite aboard Platform One. (TV: The End of the World)
Behind the scenes
- Producer Phil Collinson left Doctor Who in 2008 to become Head of Drama at BBC Manchester.
- A good many behind the scenes figures — like John Simm, Piers Wenger and Beth Willis — have ties to the Life on Mars franchise, which is set in Manchester, and may have partially inspired the character of D.I. Menzies. Simm's character in the franchise, Sam Tyler, was inspired by Rose Tyler - a companion of the Tenth Doctor.
