'He went to the central control panels and his hands ran over the familiar controls. He watched the great doors as they began to swing shut. His hands faltered as he saw what was coming towards them across the metal plain.
'A great horde of mechanical monsters, some on wheels and some on legs and some on both, was attacking them. The Mechanistrians had brought all their forces into operation against them. Dr Who’s mind almost reeled as he saw the monstrous and fantastic shapes which had been wrought by these masters of technology, those eerie beings, powered each by an incredible and ancient human brain and spread all over this planet in those mountains of metal, working, working, working, all for their own inscrutable purposes. How little he knew of this world, on which he had spent so little time.'

When I picked the kids up from school the rumour was they were filming Dr Who in Victoria Park so we all ran down to have a look. I only had my little camera which doesnt have much of a zoom so no close ups. I managed to make out two different scenes be filmed. One where there was football being played and another where the Dr falls out of the Tardis. I also got to see the Tardis being set up and dismantled. The most exciting thing to happen in Canton for yonks!
The ship, Daleks and hardsuit remain, the rest of this got pulled. Forgot to post it when they were took.
Papplewick Pumping Station (PPS).
It was an out-of-this-world experience! ha ha, at the historic Papplewick Pumping Station, Nottingham.
Stars (pun intended) in attendance included: Colin Baker (the sixth Dr Who, 1984-86), Terry Malloy (Davros, leader of the Daleks), Cybermen, Dalek, Jon Pertwee (look-alike), Mission Vao (look-alike), Colin Baker (look-alike) and many more! A good mixture of Sci-Fi, Cosplay, Steam Punkers and general geeky enthusiasts.
More photos on the way :)

Made a hama bead tardis on my girlfriends request.
Took about two days to finish. Required a lot of beads, glue and patience.
A recreation of the moment when the Dalek rises from the river Thames in the first Doctor story "The Dalek invasion of Earth."
This Dalek photo was created in my bath with grit built up on a sloped platform that lead into the bath water creating a river bank. Green bath salts created the look of the murky water and river weed.
I added lots of small props to float around in the water around the Dalek.
I blurred the edges of the water meeting the bath side.
