There were guests a-plenty at the mini-convention including Spencer Wilding (who coincidently is going to appear in episode 11 of DW series 6), Kai Owen, Warwick Davis, Kenny Baker, Rusty Goffe and of course Colin Baker among many others over the few days.
After what probably seemed like hours to Colin Baker of me boring him to death talking about growing up with Who in the 70's and 80's, I asked if he would oblige to pose in a photo for me with my comic in his hands. It struck me then about that old photo in the early issues of Doctor Who Weekly, where Tom Baker pulls a strange face holding the publication...and again more recently with David Tennant. I couldn't help but ask if Colin Baker would do the same for me... and of course, to my delight, he did!
And as the good Doctor says himself, some of these little key moments are fixed points of time and space...they must always happen...and without this happening I may not have been drawing the 'In Print' series that I'm doing right now with Alasdair Shaw from the Doctor Who Reprint Society.
Shortly after the celebrations, kasterborous.com put up an article about the meeting with Colin, and you can find it here; www.kasterborous.com/2010/05/colin-and-neutron-boy
