History[]

In the 1890s, the Sixth Doctor, Leela, and George Litefoot visited the county while investigating Kempston and Hardwick. (AUDIO: The Hourglass Killers [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.)

In 1951, a portal to the Divergent Universe was opened from Cardington. (AUDIO: Zagreus [+]Alan Barnes and Gary Russell, Main Range (Big Finish Productions, 2003).)

Barbara Wright knew the route to Bedfordshire from London. She began to explain to Jenny how she knew the route, explaining that "[she] used to live...", but cut herself off before finishing the sentence.

During the 22nd century Dalek invasion, the Daleks established a huge mining facility there as part of their plan to remove the Earth's core and replace it with a power system that would allow the Daleks to pilot the planet anywhere in the universe. Thanks to the First Doctor's intervention, the plan failed, and the mines were destroyed in a volcanic eruption. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth [+]Terry Nation, Doctor Who season 2 (BBC1, 1964).)
