BBC Worldwide has revealed plans for what is being dubbed the first official Doctor Who Convention since the series' reboot in 2005.
The event will take place on the 24 and 25 March 2012 at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Wales. Tickets are priced at £99 and limited to 1500 for each of the days.
Matt Smith commented on the convention’s announcement: “It’s brilliant that the first official convention is being held in Cardiff, the home of Doctor Who. I’m really looking forward to seeing the fans there, and remember – bow ties are cool!”
Steven Moffat said:
“A whole weekend dedicated to all things Doctor Who, brilliant! We’re going to be celebrating the whole team behind the show, people who bring to life the Doctor’s craziest adventures and letting fans into some of our trade secrets. If you want to get under the skin of Doctor Who this is an unmissable event!”
Given limited ticket availability, I can foresee a reprise of the 20th Anniversary Convention in Longleat (circa 1983). Somehow I can't see myself getting into this one.
