Something unmissable for Doctor Who fans

Something unmissable for Doctor Who fans

It's a big year for fans of the Time Lord, as any respecting sci fi fan would know.

And thankfully, New Zealand's getting in on the 50th Anniversary celebrations of Doctor Who.

The show turns 50 on November the 23rd this year and with talk of what lies ahead for the anniversary, it's great to see that thanks to the brilliance of Bill Gerardts and his team, we won't get left out in the cold for the event.

A couple of years back, the Armageddon Expo got the drop on the exclusive launch of 8th Doctor Paul McGann's new costume and since then, it's been used on publicity for the Big Finish Dark Eyes' box set.

Tickets are on sale for the Lords of Time Convention on 13 April in Auckland.

Celebrating 50 years of Dr Who, with four doctors from the classic Doctor Who series in a special one day event, meet Peter Davison (5th Doctor), Colin Baker (6th Doctor), Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor and star of the Hobbit films) and Paul McGann (8th Doctor).

Also present will be Nicholas Briggs, the voice of the Daleks and Cybermen in the new series. He's also the executive producer of the brilliant Big Finish audio plays range - and you should spend some time checking out the wonderful work those guys have done over the years. And Mark Strickson, aka Turlough, who now lives in New Zealand will be here too.

The convention will include special events, panels and a chance to purchase autographs and photos with the stars. This is the ultimate event for a Doctor Who fan and a rare change to see many of the Doctors together in one place - well, without the space time continuum exploding!
