Panda's Doctor Who adventure

My name is Panda and I’m undertaking a self made challenge. First thing about me, I’m autistic and coming out of lockdown has been very stressful for me. Another big thing about me, is I’m a big fan of Doctor Who.

So it challenging myself to be around people more and travelling on different forms of public transport, places and all the sensory overload. As its the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, I challenged myself to get as many autographs as possible from the series as possible, while trying to learn to be around other humans (not necessarily to engage but to be out of my little bubble). The autographs I collected will be raffled off for two charities. The National Autistic Society and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Support UK.

So far, I’ve pushed myself to:

Signing Spectacular

John Levene (Sergeant Benton), Peter Purves (Steven), Carole Ann Ford (Susan), Nicholas Evans (Monsters) and Julian Glover (Multiple)

London Film Fair

Milton Jones (Multiple), Michael Troughton (Guest), Nick Hobbs (Monsters), Mike Kent (Monsters), Derek Chafer (Cyberman+), Prentis Hancock (Multiple), Daisy Beaumont (Guest)

Who’s at the Playhouse

Nicola Bryant (Peri), Mark Strickson (Turlough), Colin Spaull (Multiple), Trevor Cooper (Multiple) and Jeff Rawle (Multiple)

London Film and Comic Con

Mandip Gill (Yaz), Sacha Dhawan (The Master), Christina Chong (Guest), Christopher Fairbank (Guest) and Brian Blessed (Guest)

Dublin Comic Con

Michelle Gomez (Missy)

Bedford Who Charity Con

Wendy Padbury (Zoe), Frazer Hines (Jamie), David Gooderson (Davros), Christopher Ryan (Sontarans), Andrew Burford (Cyberman) and Derek Martin (Stunt man)

I don't always remember to take photos of the guest signing, or I'm not allowed. I've got a lot more to go.

How the raffle will work, there is a tier system, with level of donations.

£50 per ticket for Doctor Who autograph bundles - These are split in Doctors 1-4, 5-7, 8-10, 11-13. These bundles currently include 7 Doctors, 2 Masters, 13 companions, 10 guests stars, 6 Monsters. There is at least 1 Doctor in each bundle, there is 4 bundles to win. (When making donation you can choose with bundle.)

£30 for mystery box filled with lots of Doctor Who related stuff.

£15 for a hat signed kindly by Frazer Hines

Under £15 will get to choose a future stream from the TARDIS mug

It will run on my twitch channel, in November with a celebration of two weeks of Doctor Who's 60th.

An Evening With Terry Molloy (For Charity!)

An Evening With #DoctorWho's Terry Molloy (For Charity!), Courtesy of @BedfordWho

Presented by the Bedford Who Charity Con: we’re holding An Evening with Terry Molloy on Saturday 26th November 2022 – and DWC readers are warmly invited! Among other things, Terry is a children’s author, the alter ego of rural reprobate Mike Tucker in The Archers (a part he’s been playing for 50 years!), and an authority on the craft of acting.

An Overview of the Record-Breaking Fundraiser, Bedford Who Charity Con 7

An Overview of the #DoctorWho Record-Breaking Fundraiser, Bedford Who Charity Con 7 (@BedfordWho)

The seventh Bedford Who Charity Con took place in early April, and raised more than £10,000 for Bedford Foodbank. The event featured three incarnations of the Doctor, a world first of two Davroses (if that is the plural; they could not decide), and never-told-before stories from entertaining guests. With the world as it is, not only was this a record sum raised for charity by the convention but…

Doctor Who Convention: Bedford Who Charity Con 6 Raises an Astonishing £6643

#DoctorWho Convention: Bedford Who Charity Con 6 Raises an Astonishing £6643 (@BedfordWho)

We had to postpone it three times, it was 18 months later than originally scheduled, and 2½ years since the last one, but Bedford Who Charity Con 6 finally went ahead last Saturday (16th October). The pandemic meant masks were on, hand sanitiser was available in bucketloads – and yet a good time still seemed to be had by all. It’s a bit difficult to write this piece, since I’m the organiser and,…

Watch: The Doctor Who Cast Perform Charity Comedy Sketches!

It’s no coincidence that the DWC talks about the Bedford Who Charity Convention: it’s partly because all the money raised goes straight to support the Bedford Foodbank, but also because… well, because I’m its organiser! To kick off Comedy Week at The Doctor Who Companion, here are two deeply amusing sketches what I wrote. Hope you enjoy them. Any humour that comes from them is entirely down to…

Reviewed: Doctor Who Season 26 - Begin Your Exile

Reviewed: #DoctorWho Season 26 - Begin Your Exile

Prisoner at the bar, you have been found guilty of using the word “Meh” to describe Season 26. For this act of grave and gross heresy, the penalty is that no one will ever buy you a drink again, and that your name will become a by-word for all piggy-wiggies and bumheads, among the entirety of fandom, from now until the end of time. Have you anything to say as to why sentence should not be passed…
