A selection of my favourite DW things I got to do in the past year(ish) to celebrate Doctor Who Day:

Time Controller in Hammersmith 04.11.23

- Remembrance of the Daleks event in the actual school used in the story. Being in the actual classroom, watching Sophie dressed as Ace, recreate how she beat up the Dalek is a memory I'll hold dear forever I think.

Whooverville in Derby 31.08.24

Dragonfire Day at Riverside Studios 08.09.24

- We watched the entire story & heard talks from most of the cast. Dragonfire is my favourite DW story, this was so special to me

The Stuff of Legend - Big Finish Live 15.09.24

Set To Stun exhibition in Gunnersbury 28.05.24

- Exhibition about the making of sci-fi shows & films in West London

Whooverville is an amazing place for fans to come together and be nerds who love Doctor Who. No one has to feel out of place there, or worry about being made fun of - it's by fans, for fans. But the charity space which hosts them, Derby Quad, is likely to close. There may never be another Whooverville if it does. So, if you can donate to this registered charity, please do, so that Whooverville and many other wonderful events can continue running:

EDIT:

The QUAD is staying open, but with reduced hours. Whooverville is happening again next year, at the QUAD, which is the good news! But still, the QUAD is a charity, and it needs our donations to continue to survive. I'm thinking of starting something like a Who zine to help the QUAD, but I need to know there'll be interest -

Heading to Whooverville in September as a vendor (come find me if you're going!) so pulling together a limited-run poster set in honour of the upcoming Doctor Who anniversary.

R.I.P Michael Jayston 😞

Michael was one of the sweetest people you could ever meet, the complete opposite of his portrayal of The Valeyard. I still have fond memories of playing pub quizzes with him and Nicholas Briggs at The Tap in Derby some years back the night before the Whooverville convention, laughs were had by all. He also shared a flat with my Grandad David in Nottingham in the late 50's. Saddened by the news of his passing, rest well dear friend. 🕊💔
