Don’t Miss Tom Baker’s First Scottish Doctor Who Convention in Almost 20 Years!

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven’t got round to blogging for a while. I’ve been busily beavering away, making sure by the time May comes around we give you all the best Doctor Who convention ever seen in Scotland!

And I’m now quite remarkably excited to be able to announce our 11th guest for this year’s event.

Quite probably the most popular producer in the history of Doctor Who, the man behind the first “Golden Age” of Doctor Who, none other than Philip Hinchcliffe has kindly agreed to join us in May for a rare convention appearance, subject to work and personal commitments.

Philip was producer of the show between 1974 and 1977 and oversaw Tom’s first three years as the Doctor, producing some of the show’s most iconic and popular episodes during that time.

Our guest list, subject to work and personal commitments, is now;

  • Tom Baker - The Fourth Doctor
  • Colin Baker - The Sixth Doctor
  • Sylvester McCoy - The Seventh Doctor
  • Sophie Aldred - Ace
  • John Leeson - The voice of K9
  • Richard Franklin - Captain Mike Yates
  • Philip Hinchcliffe - Producer, 1974-1977
  • Andrew Cartmel - Script Editor, 1987-1989
  • Tom Goodman-Hill - The Reverend Golightly / The Vespiform (The Unicorn and the Wasp)
  • Michael Cochrane - Lord Cranleigh (Black Orchid) - Redvers Fenn-Cooper (Ghost Light)
  • Prentis Hancock - Reporter (Spearhead from Space) - Vaber (Planet of the Daleks) - Salamar (Planet of Evil) - Captain of the Guard (The Ribos Operation)

This event marks Tom Baker’s first Doctor Who convention in Scotland since 1993 and will be the first time a Scottish convention has ever had three Doctors on the same guest list!

Add in a rare convention appearance by one of the show’s most popular producers, Philip Hinchcliffe, and a Doctor Who convention debut for Tom Goodman-Hill, along with many huge names from throughout the history of Doctor Who, and it’s an event not to be missed!

Tickets are still available from www.glasgowwho.co.uk/aog4.html and the sooner you buy yours, the sooner we can tell how many more guests we can go for… and how big they’re going to be!

I think we have a truly great guest list shaping up here… it would be a shame for any of you to miss out!

Cheers!

Al.
