There are few places that have cropped up as much as Sheffield in the famous television series Doctor Who.
As a new series of the programme, starring new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa, starts on May 11, he had probably better get his Sheffield A to Z out, because over the years, the programme has had a lot going on in Sheffield and its nearby countryside in South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire.
From monsters to mutants, the city’s streets have had have a lot to cope with, and the famous show has made many references to the the city over the years, going right back to the area’s first high profile role back in the 1970s
We have put together a gallery outlining what the programme predicts will happen here in the future, as well as what it’s writers have claimed has already happened here in the ‘Whoniverse’
The programme has also featured some of South Yorkshire’s best known actors in its long histoty - and we have also included in our gallery a profile of who they are what they did to shape the programme’s sci-fi world.
