Fellow Doctor Who fan, Jo and I took a drive over to Peterborough today.
It was a rare opportunity to visit the City that’s hosting an unofficial Doctor Who Exhibition at their Museum & Art Gallery. It’s been running since May this year (ending on 2 November) and has turned out to be extremely popular. Some 14000 visitors so far, apparently! 👍
I npicked Jo up at 7.30am and we arrived with plenty of time to spare. So, we wandered round to nearby Bewiched for a brew and a cheeky tea-cake. Suitably refreshed, we then took the short walk and arrived at 9.30 on the dot – and there was already a queue! 😮
Once we were inside the Museum, it wasn’t the largest of spaces (just three rooms), but what was on display there, as we were soon to discover, was impressive!
Oh, go on then!One of many! Console from the 1960sSo many Daleks! November 23, 1963 – and so it begins!Pretty much every villain and plenty of variations on a Cyberman
Worth remembering that this was an UNofficial Exhibition and most of the exhibits were from amateur collectors.
Such detail!
Even if you’re not quite as obsessed as us two, you couldn’t fail to be impressed by the level of detail that had gone into the creation of what was on display 👏👏
Thanks! This had been VERY impressive
And in just under an hour, we were done! This had been a really impressive collection – hats off to the organisers.
Having spoken to a fellow ‘Who’ enthusiast who was checking admission tickets, we learned that the Exhibition is not ending when it closes here in November – it’s moving on to another town/city. That was great news as we both felt the Exhibition deserves a wider audience.
A brilliant event! 👍👍. Thanks to everyone involved!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
