Science-Fiction
fans are in for a treat when former TV Time Lord COLIN BAKER
headlines a special charity ‘Doctor Who Day’ at the
world famous Cavern Club (‘birthplace of The Beatles’)
in Liverpool next spring.
Presented
by FANS LIKE US (the Wirral Dr Who local fan group) ,
‘DOCTOR WHO AT THE CAVERN’ will also feature appearances
from a host of celebrities including Colin’s ex co-star
NICOLA BRYANT (the glamorous Peri), MARK STRICKSON (80s
companion Turlough), FRAZER HINES (ex Emmerdale star, and
60s companion Jamie), DEBORAH WATLING (60s companion
Victoria), and ERIC POTTS (who played one of the evil
Slitheen creatures in the recent new series, and is a
current star of Coronation Street).
The
event producers have previously worked with several of the
guests on a variety of Dr Who themed events, and have
recently held successful evenings with Bond girl, Big
Finish, & Hammer Horror star CAROLINE MUNRO, Blake’s
7’s GARETH THOMAS, and ex Dr Who Magazine editor GARY
RUSSELL.
With
the BBC series winning millions of new fans (and several
national television awards) following the recent success of
the Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper remake, here is a
chance to meet a former incarnation, plus several companions
and enemies of the time-travelling hero. With a new series
currently being produced starring David Tennant, fans will
be able to watch a brand new episode of Doctor Who on the
Saturday night, and come and enjoy the event the following
day!
There
will also be an exhibition of costumes and props, a prize
raffle, themed quiz, and the very latest Dr Who merchandise
on sale from THE
WHO SHOP – with a proposed exclusive launch of new
products.
There
will also be a special performance by the popular OFFSTAGE
Theatre Group. It will be a brand new piece based on the
Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, and Frazer Hines story ‘The
Two Doctors’, written especially for this event, with the
world premiere taking place on The Cavern Club stage.
Another premiere will be a screening of the comedy-drama
film ‘WORKINGHEAD’ (written & directed by Brian
Gorman). This surreal look at the world of cult TV fandom
features appearances from Colin Baker, Steven Pinder (Brookside),
Uri Geller, Paul Daniels, and many other famous faces.
All
profits will be split between The Alder Hey ‘Imagine’
Appeal (the new charity recently set up with Yoko Ono’s
approval), and F.S.I.D. (The Foundation for the Study of
Infant Deaths: Cot death research & support).
The
day will begin at 10am, and finish by 5pm. Tickets are on
sale at The Cavern Club (Tel. 0151 2361965 12 noon til 9pm)
and are only £19 adults (with £5 off for concessions) and
£10 children. For a full day of exciting Dr Who
entertainment this is a bargain not to be missed, so book
early to avoid disappointment!
