Feel like hoisting a glass for the good Doctor, the Tardis, K-9 and possibly Sarah Jane Smith? Well who doesn’t. Fortunately, Dez Skinn, the creator of Doctor Who Weekly back in the day, has gotten himself involved in the third annual Doctor Who Pubcon which’ll take place in Manchester, England at the Lass O’Gowrie pub.

You can hit the bar on Sunday, July 18th (so pre-arrange to take the 19th off from work, okay?). According to Dez, “our assembled guests will take us on a journey through their six favorite things about their time with Doctor Who - be it a person, a character, a scene - whatever they fancy really.”

Now aside from the drinking and the Doctor-themed party conversation, why should you go? Because it’ll be mc’d by John Cooper and the guests (subject to change) include some Doctor Who celebs like: Terrance Dicks, Andrew Cartmel, Graeme Harper, Dez Skinn, Rob Shearman, Sophie Aldred, Chris Achileos and Ade Salmon.

John Cooper will also be performing his “One Man Doctor Who” for the first time ever. More guests are expected and tickets will probably go fast. I’m about 5000 miles away, and not even the Tardis can get me there. But if you’re around and of a mind, drink up. This sounds like a raucous midsummer’s dream for Who-ites.
