He created the Thirteenth Doctor's TARDIS, he also created Sherlock Holmes' Baker St residence for the mega-successful BBC TV series and, if that wasn't enough, he recreated Dracula's Castle for a brand new modern-day audience!

We're thrilled to be joined on this episode by Production Designer, Arwel Wyn Jones!

Arwel started working on Doctor Who when it returned to TV in 2005, moving up to Production Designer on the Thirteenth Doctor's first series. In addition, he worked as Production Designer with Stephen Moffatt and Mark Gatiss on Sherlock and Dracula. He also production designed the Sarah Jane Adventures and has worked on many other shows too.

In this episode we talk about...

Arwel's original plans for the Thirteenth Doctor's TARDIS and how he wanted it to be realised on screen...
The theory begind the Time Crystals...
How he got his start in the industry...
What led him to becoming a Production Designer...
What it was like working with Elizabeth Sladen...
Bringing his interpretations of iconic locations to screen and the pressure involved...

Plus we geek out about Marvel and DC movies and yes, Geoff throws in some Avatar talk too because he can't not!
