A Cardiff church will hold a special service next month to mark the anniversary of a Doctor Who episode filmed in the area.

St Paul’s Church in Grangetown will host the event at 11:00 on 17 May, marking the broadcast of Father’s Day, first shown on Doctor Who on 14 May 2005.

Scenes from the episode were filmed inside the church and on nearby streets. Much of the surrounding area was used with little alteration to represent the 1980s setting.

Father’s Day, the eighth episode of the revived series, was written by Paul Cornell and directed by Joe Ahearne. It was first broadcast on BBC One.

The service will focus on ideas at the centre of the story, including grief, loss and the limits of trying to change the past.
