After being transported to the alternate Earth, this is the last place where Rose had any contact with the Doctor. (DW: Doomsday).
After the War in the Medusa Cascade, the Doctor took Rose back to Bad Wolf Bay with the Meta-Crisis Doctor and Jackie. (DW: Journey's End)
Behind the scenes
- To date, only the Dårlig Ulv Stranden located on Pete's World has never been seen or referenced; whether it also exists in the main Earth of the Whoniverse is unclear. According to Google Maps there is no Dårlig Ulv Stranden in Norway.
- The beach was filmed in Southerndown beach, in South Wales.
- Despite pronunciations in the episodes featured, it is actually pronounced "Dorly Ulv Stranden".
- In fact, the actual Norwegian equivalent to "bad wolf" is "stygg ulv"; the adjective "stygg" can be translated roughly as "naughty" or "bad (in behavior)", whereas the adjective "dårlig" can be translated as "poor in quality" or "feeling bad; as in feeling sick". The phrase "Who's afraid of the big, bad wolf?" is translated into Norwegian as: "Hvem er redd for den store, stygge ulven?" - thus: "Bad Wolf Bay" in Norwegian would be "Styggulvstrand" (since Norwegian toponyms rarely use the definite article).
