1964/1968 filming locations vs now

Went to a couple of the classic London locations that were used in the 60s.

First slide: St Paul’s steps (Cybermen, The Invasion, 1968)

Second slide: near Westminster Bridge / Big Ben area (Daleks, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, 1964)

Weird standing in the same spots knowing what the country was like when those episodes were made versus now.

Wrote a longer piece about Doctor Who as a kind of accidental record of how British social attitudes shifted over 60 years if anyone’s interested: https://open.substack.com/pub/crimsonfoster/p/doctor-who-is-older-than-the-miniskirt?utm\_source=app-post-stats-page&r=3jvwge&utm\_medium=ios

Doctor Who Is Older Than the Miniskirt. That Changes Everything.

From racial slurs and yellow-face to a queer Black Doctor, six decades of Doctor Who reveal how Britain's social values have changed, and how progress is never as straightforward as it seems.
