…and It Seems Not a Moment Too Soon!

February 8, 2013 in Guests, News

What would a 50th Anniversary Doctor Who party be without the Doctor in attendance? Well, we’ll never know, because Colin Baker will be joining us Thanksgiving weekend for his first visit in 5 years. We’re extra excited, because we haven’t had Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant together before! (Can you say “Sixie and Peri Panel”? Knew you could!)
