BBC Worldwide have announced a host of guests for the Doctor Who 50th Celebration event to be held over three days later this month at ExCel in London.
Peter Davison will be at the convention on all three days along with Matt Smith, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy, with Tom Baker appearing on the Saturday only.
Also attending on the Saturday will be William Russell and Carole Ann Ford who, as Ian Chesterton and Susan Foreman, were companions to First Doctor and starred in the first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child. Joining them will be the director of the first story – the legendary Waris Hussein.
It has also been announced that there will be a free live 2D showing of the anniversary episode at the convention, but with limited seats available.
BBC Worldwide said:
The Doctor Who 50th Celebration’s opening hours will also be extended on Saturday evening so visitors can enjoy a free 2D simulcast screening of The Day of the Doctor together. Saturday attendees will be emailed shortly with details about how they can reserve a seat. Visitors should note that the screening will have limited availability and tickets will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
