At Pettigrew Bakery in Cardiff, David Le Masurier's team bakes and sells "thousands of pastries a day" to consumers like Jessica and Louise.David said he had "absolutely" seen bakery tourism positively impact his business, with international travellers building food spots into their trips, influenced by online trends and viral dishes.

"They have done their research. They've gone onto social media, they've seen images. They've read reviews. They're getting tips off TikTok," he said."People are literally walking in with their phones, particularly if English isn't their first language, and they're holding up pictures or showing us reels and saying: 'I want this'."Customers pay anything from £3.20 for a plain croissant to £4.50 for "limited edition" bakes - prices which David accepts are outside of the bracket of "everyday products".

I thought that was really cool because it's just, 'here's all these different couples and all these different families'.

"A lot of the time [when] you have queer characters, [it's] focusing on the struggle and how hard it is to be queer, but I liked that this was just another couple to exist."And it's not just Doctor Who but the entire Who-niverse which has made an impression on the LGBT community.
