Guess Who's Back?

Saturday saw a fantastic day for a double signing in store! We were joined from 10AM by [B]John Leeson[/B] – the Voice of K9 for much of the characters ‘classic series’ appearances and also in the new Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures!

John was not alone for his signing in store, he was joined by the lovely [B]Deborah Watling[/B], better known to Doctor Who fans as Victoria Waterfield, the Victorian companion to the Second Doctor!

Both our guests were a delight to have in store, and we hope they enjoyed their time up in Norwich! Lots of fans turned out to meet the duo, and get autographs and pictures, and we hope they enjoyed the day, too! Whilst on the subject, here’s the now-traditional photo of myself with the guests!

[B]Now then... Guess Who’s Back?[/B]

It’s been nearly a year since we opened the doors to the shop, and we’re feeling in the mood to celebrate our birthday. So, to mark the passing of our first full year in the city we’ve invited back a very special celebrity guest...

Fourth Doctor [B]Tom Baker[/B] was our very first signing event, in early November last year, and now he returns to Norwich to help us celebrate in style! Tom will be coming to Norwich on Saturday 25th October and will be signing in store from 9AM! As usual a £10 minimum spend is required to qualify for a signature!

Last year, Tom was a massive hit with the people of this fine city, and it will be fantastic to see the crowds visit him again this year! We hope to see you all on the day!

Cool New Stuff!

Hi there, just thought I’d pop in and let you all know what’s going on in-store!

First up, a quick reminder that this Saturday John Leeson (Voice of K9) and Deborah Watling will both be in store from about 10am for a signing! We’ve got our usual system of a £10 minimum spend, which will entitle you to an autograph from one of our guests!


Also just to let you know, we now have in stock some fantastic new Doctor Who items! The Writer’s Tale by Russell T Davies provides a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes day-to-day running of the show, as told through e-mails and text messages to Ben Cook, writer for Doctor Who Magazine!

We also now have the Time Traveller's Almanac, an ‘intergalactic fact finder’ which serves as a chronology of all the events of the new series – a fantastic way to re-live the last four years of Who – especially with little Who on screen next year!


This year’s two calendars – the Doctor Who Wall Calendar, and the desk calendar – are also now in – featuring great images of all your favourite characters to keep you entertained over the next 12 months!

Missed the fantastic Torchwood ‘Lost Souls’ last week? There’s a chance to catch up as the audio is released! We’ve got the CD in now, so keep up-to date with team Torchwood and their latest adventure with Martha Jones!We’ve got some exciting event news to come in the build up to our birthday, so stay tuned!

They think it's all over... it is now!

I’m here to announce that the winner of the Pimp my DALEK competition is...

Hannah Goldfinch, for her entry ‘the fairy-nator!' We loved the painting on the Dalek, and the little fairy wings that turned one of the universe's most feared creatures into an adorable bundle of pink! Hannah wins a Dalek VC Helmet, and also a Dalek Sec Hybrid VC helmet, though her entry form declares that ‘mum helped too – couldn’t resist’, so perhaps it’s one Dalek helmet for Hannah and one for her mum?




Runners up were, the Newman family for their entry 'PsycheDalek', Josh Davis for ‘Evolution of the Daleks’ (pictured below), Emily Rising for ‘The Dalek of Camouflage’, Catherine Maitland for ‘Dalek Vicious’ and Thomas Brandon for ‘Dalek Carbon Neutral’. All the runners-up recieve a sci-fi collector die-cast of their choice.


Thanks to everyone who took part in the competition – we loved seeing all the designs as they’ve come in over the last six weeks! We hope people had fun designing and creating their unique Daleks, and we hope people enjoyed seeing the many varied and colourful entries!
