Sure, the steampunkish Way Station in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, gives customers access to the bathroom through a TARDIS, but we can do better than that. Interestingly enough, an entire Doctor Who restaurant may become a reality, the Independent reports, because the fourteen-acre BBC Television Centre at White City is renovated into a very large visitor center celebrating all the series once filmed there. “Among the ideas so far,” the paper reports, “are attractions based on Fawlty Towers, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Blue Peter, Doctor Who and Strictly Come Dancing.” A Great British Bake Off bakery has been suggested as well, which sounds fine, but really, it’s been 50 years now, and since Doctor Who fandom has spawned its own distinct and scholarly food culture, shouldn’t the daleks have a clean, well-lit white tablecloth place of their own?
