The sci-fi vendors had a nice collection of models, cards, and props. The Dorset Troopers attended and their troopers walked the hall keeping order as well as allowing their photos to be taken by brave fans. It was lovely to see children and adults dressed in their favourite sci-fi garbs.
From space boys, to Ewoks, Amy Pond and David Tennant. The Fourth Doctor, complete with Jelly Babies and sonic screwdriver had his share of fans wanting his picture. He was rather dashing I have to say, but 
then I am biased as he is my dear husband after all.
Other costumed wonders came in the forms of the Alien, Predators, Back to the Future car (complete with the mad professor).
After the initial walk around of the vendors and ensuring that a few purchases were made (which had to be done of course), husband and I met up with Colin Baker, the sixth Doctor. Colin was in fine spirits and happily signed photos of himself for members of the public. Next to him stood the Tardis, K9 and a rather mean looking Dalek.
We also met up with wonderful actors Alan Flyng, Wendy Lowder and Derek Lysons. They were signing autographed photos and speaking to the fans.
The Umpa Lumpa song was played on the tannoy and Rusty from ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ did a little dance which the fans enjoyed.
Over all I believe that the day was a great success for both actor and fans alike. This is one more event which I shall definitely like to attend once more.
