I haven't yet figured out the Wales Millennium Centre

As Doctor Who is now being produced in Wales and Torchwood is set there, It seems appropriate to add a link to the Wales Millennium Centre, as it is popping up a lot. (It was also used for interior shots in New Earth.) This looks to be the view from Google Maps:


I think that the large curved front with the lettering is the lower left side of the large building at the top of the shot there, and the tall water sculpture is at the bottom of the shot - the semi-circle that casts a long shadow.

It doesn't feel quite right to me from the way the location looks on television, so I am worried that I might not have the location completely correct. Of course, it looks like there is a lot of construction still ongoing in the satellite shot, so that could account for the difference.

Next project for the obsessive fan: list all the buildings that Captain Jack stands on when he wants to go for a sulk.

Linkage

The pre-Beta version of this blog had a list of links under the heading "Links into the Land of Fiction."

Most of these were created by the BBC for cross-marketing, but a couple were made by fans who were joining in on the fun.

For the time being, I'll just dump the list here:

  • Defending the Earth

  • UNIT

  • Bad Wolf

  • British Rocket Group/Project Guinevere

  • Geocomtex

  • Leamington Spa Lifeboat Museum

  • Millingdale Organic Ice Cream

  • Torchwood House

  • Deffry Vale High School

  • Deffry Vale

  • Flydale North

  • Cybus Corporation

  • Powell Estate Tenants and Residents Association

  • Henrik and Son Department Store
  • Label Mania

    A glance to the side will indicate that I've come up with a scheme for labeling posts on this blog.

    Whooo!
