For 60 years, Doctor Who has travelled through time and space. But now, the long-running science fiction series has found its home in Cardiff. First launched in November 1963, the show was axed in 1989 until it made a comeback in 2005 after television writer Russell T Davies was tasked with reviving the series for a modern audience.

' 'Doctor Who is a family' One cast member who has worked on both the revived and classic eras of the show is Janet Fielding. She first joined the cast as Tegan Jovanka in 1981, a companion of both the fourth and fifth Doctors, played by Tom Baker and Peter Davison respectively. More recently, Fielding reprised her role for a special episode alongside Jodie Whittaker's thirteenth Doctor. Returning to Doctor Who, this time in Cardiff, was a full circle moment for the actress.
