Something that has caught my attention the last two weeks is there is note that the programme received financial support from the Irish Government in the credits. I don't know how or why this is a thing? Everything has been filmed in South Wales or the South West of England as far as I am aware, unless the SFX team or something like that is based in Ireland? How does that work?

IIRC it was on all but one episode of this season

You are right , nothing was filmed in Ireland .

One of the VFX companies is based in Ireland and so Bad Wolf can claim tax credits off the Irish Government , the logo is one of the requirements in getting the tax credit .

I wonder if that is the reason the BBC are allowing RTE to place it on it's player later this summer though that's not a requirement of the scheme .
