Sylvester McCoy!

Saturday saw the seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, visit for the day at the store. Facing more eager fans than he's faced Daleks, Sylvester signed for most of the day and entertained the crowds.
Sylvester was joined by not one, but THREE Daleks trundling around outside the store, and a cyberman. Luckily, UNIT was on hand to keep the crowds safe. Sylvester took the opportunity to sign the head of one of his enemies, an Imperial Dalek.

A good time was had by all, and we managed to get home in time for "Fires of Pompeii", the latest episode in Series 4. A darn good story we thought, with Catherine Tate improving dramatically from a rather shouty first half to a particularly moving final few scenes. Can't wait for "Planet of the Ood", but once again it's going to be a rush getting home in time for that ridiculously early start time!

Hopefully, we'll be able to announce another signing soon, but let's just say that the gears are turning to get another great celebrity in for a signing at the store.
