Monday, 13 Nov 2006 17:10
Cardiff is fast becoming the sci-fi capital of the UK following the success of the BBC's Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood.

As well as Torchwood, set and filmed in modern-day Cardiff, two Doctor Who series and have been filmed in the city, which was used as a stand-in for London.

Fans of the shows will be offered a Doctor Who package by the four-star Park Plaza hotel in Cardiff, voted Wales' best hotel for 2006, which includes entry to the Doctor Who Up-Close exhibition in Cardiff Bay.


"Interest has been building up. We are expecting the combined effect of Torchwood and the next Doctor Who series to create a real buzz about Cardiff locations," said Caroline Sims, of the Park Plaza hotel, Cardiff.
