As the Kansas Time Eddy Convention Draws Nearer…

Josh Maxton is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Ah, yes. There you are… I was looking for you.

So, in the midst of all the frenzy about the new series of Doctor Who, the ever-crazy fan speculation, and the general and usual mob of our fandom, I bring good news to the Whovians stateside. Several times we’ve told you about the upcoming Time Eddy convention in Wichita, Kansas.

Well, dear reader, the time draws nigh. The convention will take place October 2nd-4th (next weekend) in Wichita. With the impressive line up of actors and actresses who have played much loved characters, Time Eddy has built up a lot of excitement among fans in the relative region. Interestingly enough, I say “relative”, because fans from Canada have booked tickets as well, as Kieran Kinsella (show runner of Time Eddy) explained to us in our exclusive interview with him. The line up includes Colin Baker (Sixth Doctor), Nicola Bryant (Peri Brown), Peter Purves (Steven Taylor – pictured on the right above), Deborah Watling (Victoria Waterfield), Daphne Ashbrook (Dr. Grace Holloway), Frazer Hines (Jamie McCrimmon), Ellis George (Courtney Woods), and more.

To help quench your anticipation, I bring to you a selected portion of the Time Eddy schedule of shenanigans: the video room schedule. Several episodes of Who (classic and new) will be shown in a specific video room at Time Eddy, with additional content for early bird and after hours viewers. Some of the additional content is non-Who, and is only included because a Doctor Who actor or actress stars in it.
