By ‘eck, ducks, head off ta Donnie this weekend an’ you’ll spot a pair of bleeding Time Lords, by thunder!

Ahem. Yes, it is this weekend in which the former stars of Doctor Who, Paul McGann and Peter Davison will be attending Digi-Con “the ultimate geek weekend” at Doncaster Racecourse.

A spokesman said: “Digi-Con is a new weekend long convention. It will bring a variety of special guests, panels, shows and over 100 trader tables to appease your geeky needs!”

If you’re in South Yorkshire or even Derbyshire, this is definitely an event that you should make some effort to get to, if only for the presence of those two esteemed actors. Let’s face it, they are two of the most popular actors of their generations beyond Doctor Who, both having successful careers before and beyond the show, so there is plenty to ask them (and if you get stuck, fall back on All Creatures Great and Small and Withnail & I for inspiration!)

Other guests include Darth Vader actor Dave Prowse while attractions include a life size Simpsons sofa, vehicles from The A-Team and Knight Rider, the usual Daleks and TARDIS and even a Battlestar Galactica reproduction.

Digi-Con opens at 10am – 9am for VIP ticket holders – and is open until 8pm on both Saturday and Sunday to all ages, although under 12’s must of course be accompanied by an adult over the age of 16.

Missed tickets? You should be able to buy them at the venue. Find out more at digi-con.co.uk.
