The BBC has been criticised by the owners of the Lulworth Estate in Dorset after the regeneration scene during Jodie Whittaker's final episode of Doctor Who saw the TimeLord regenerate on top of famous landmark Durdle Door. Sparking a safety row, the Weld family, who have owned the estate where the beautiful coastal spot sits, since 1641, claimed that if they'd known what they were going to film, permission wouldn't have been granted.
The final scene of last Sunday's centenary special, The Power of the Doctor, saw Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor regenerate into her fourteenth incarnation, played by former Doctor actor David Tennant. The 200ft limestone arch is popular with tourists and attracts thousands of people each year. It is also a known hotspot for daredevils to try "tombstoning" - an action that sees adrenaline seekers scale the landmark and jump the huge distance into the water below. In 2020, at least three people were seriously injured attempting the jump.
