Locations: The Doctor Who episode 10x02 "Smile" was filmed in City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia

Catching up with the new Doctor Who season (and even liking it, much to my own surprise) I found a very familiar place in the second episode! Back in 2011, John Barrowman, his sister Carole and their husbands had made a France / Spain road trip, and they also had visited City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. I already loved the place then, and do

That's lovely modern architecture and the weather there probably helps it with being so open and airy. I am sure Sting based a video on something like that if it had been built in the early 90s.

Yes, the weather, blue sky and I also love the color, with it being so white. Makes it look very futuristic.

I probably would have hated to draw it though LOL I am doing a machine foundation at the moment and it has many nooks and edges which makes it very difficult and I have to pay lots of attention. So, when seeing buildings like this, I immediately start to look for "how did they do it". Comes with the business I guess!

Nice!

I had stopped watching Dr. Who because I got angry with some of the plots (and I wasn't a fan of Clara's) but I started watching this year again and like it much better.

I came close to stopping myself. I dutyfully watched but it was all so boring and I couldn't tell you anything as I have forgotten about it. I also did not like the Capaldi Doctor at all, being so mean and angry all the time.

I was zero excited for the new season and only watched out of curiosity as everyone said it was better.

Something certainly has changed and it is actually fun again to watch. Wish it had been like this two years ago. What a waste!

Clara was really odd. I hadn't been a fan of Amy either, but compared to Clara she was decent. I did not like Clara pushing the Doctor around all the time with her "Shut up shut up". It's his show! He felt like a sidekick.
