SFX WEEKENDER 3

I'm back home a full weekend of geekerey and 

traveling after the SFX Magazine third annual sci

-fi weekender from the 3rd-5th February 2012 in 

Prestatyn Wales.

  The convention saw many guests over the weekend

including Doctor's Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, 

Eve Myles from Torchwood and writers such as Paul Cornell and Tony Lee. 

I met up again with Big Spencer wilding (below) who I first met at my local 3 Darths comic book store event a couple of years ago. Spencer play both the tree King from the doctor Who Xmas special and the

Minotaur from 'The God Complex' last year. 

   

THE DOCTOR'S NEW CLOTHES... UPDATED

And here we have it - The eighth Doctor's new clothes

from this weeks episode of  In Print.

The outfit along with a new sonic screwdriver and a bag was designed by the Weta Workshop - the guys behind the lord of The Rings effects, and were worn by the eighth Doctor himself - Paul Mcgann at the Armageddon Pop Culture Expo in Auckland New Zealand October 2010. It was a bid to 'update' from the old fashioned Edwardian look to a more 21st century style in hoping it would be used possibly for the Big Finish covers. The shirt and trousers he was wearing that day were his own. So far it doesn't look as if the outfits been used for anything, so who-knows just how long our eighth Doctor is going to keep it for... If no.7 can have a new costume then why cant 8 ?!
