Sheffield was home to the first female Doctor’s companions Ryan Sinclair, Yasmin Khan and Graham O'Brien. Parts of series 11, including the opening episode The Woman Who Fell to Earth, which introduced Jodie Whittaker as the 13th incarnation of the Doctor, were filmed in the city in 2017-18.
Locations included Park Hill flats, the central bus interchange on Pond Street and Hunter House Road in Hunters Bar.
As a result, the series also held its premiere at The Light cinema on The Moor in September 2018.

7. Sheffield Tardis!
This old police box in Sheffield city centre got a mention on Doctor Who series 11, partly set in Sheffield. The Doctor had lost her Tardis time machine and, when she recovered it, her companion Graham (Bradley Walsh) exclaimed: "It's an old police box!" Yaz, played by Mandip Gill, replied: "Yeah like that one on Surrey Street, Only the one in town's green." Photo: Marisa Cashill
