Doctor Who hits the Wild West in a new batch of promotional pictures for episode three of series 7.
“A Town Called Mercy” is the show’s first foray into the Western genre since it was revived back in 2005, and only the second Western story in Doctor Who‘s long and rich history (“The Gunfighters” featured First Doctor William Hartnell and aired in 1966). Like many of the most popular cowboy movies, 7×03 is in fact filmed in Spain, marking the second time this series that the show was shot in the country – the exterior snowy mountains in “Asylum of the Daleks” were also shot in the typically sunny country.
