Dr. Who in Scarfolk
Back in the 1970s the makers of BBC's Dr. Who could not find a location big enough to accommodate a story set on the surface of a desolate moon.
Scarfolk Council generously offered to demolish two hospices, an orphanage and a battered dolphin sanctuary to create the necessary space. However, the council neglected to warn the residents before they flattened the buildings.
Fortunately, the Dr. Who story also required an immense battlefield to be littered with dead and injured aliens.
Happy 50th anniversary!
