In early September Peter, Emily and I decided to go on what amounted to a works outing. On Saturday the 2nd we visited the Whooverville 9 convention in Derby, where we had a fantastic time meeting fellow fans and mingling with the celebs.
For me, the undoubted highlight was seeing William Russell and Carole Ann Ford – two of the stars from Doctor Who’s very first series – reminiscing about those blackand- white episodes and looking forward to the arrival of the Thirteenth Doctor, Jodie Whittaker. Earlier in the day, Frazer Hines had told some outrageous anecdotes about working with his Doctor, Patrick Troughton, while Wendy Padbury spoke of her sadness at attending the funeral of Deborah Watling. As she described Deborah’s wicker coffin, which was topped with a spray of white lilies and her favourite summer hat, the sense of loss in the auditorium was tangible.
