Scarecrows, Daleks & K9 invade
Liverpool's Spaceport!!!
BE WARNED! Scarecrows and Daleks
will invade Spaceport this weekend in search of their arch nemesis
Doctor Who.
The costume characters will be taking over the attraction, dubbed
the UK’s most modern space-themed visitor attraction, on Saturday 1
November and Sunday 2 November 2008.
The voice behind K9 in the classic and
new Doctor Who series, actor John Leeson, will also be there to sign
free autographs, pose for pictures and meet and greet stargazers and
visitors to the hugely popular The Art of Doctor Who exhibition
running into 2009.
The weekend will also see the European
premier of a brand new space show called Zula Patrol in Spaceport’s
very own Space Dome.
The programme, a smash hit across America and the Far East is set to
take the UK by storm over the next year.
Ken Moss, Spaceport Manager, said:- “We are expecting more
monsters than we’ve ever had and one of the programme’s most iconic
voices, so this is a must for Doctor Who fans, young and old. We are
pleased John Leeson has come along to support us.
Despite all the monsters and aliens we know this will be a weekend
of real laughs and we have a packed programme of entertainment all
weekend so there will be something for everyone.
We are especially pleased to have been given unique access to Zula
Patrol. This is the first time anyone in Europe will have seen this
new cartoon, which has been so successful in the US and Far East.
The Hyde Fundraisers, who have been fantastic supporters of
Spaceport and provide many of the costume characters for these
special events, will also be donating a five figure cheque to Pudsey
Bear of Children in Need. They are a fantastic fundraising team and
we are delighted to support them.”
Over the weekend, Davros will be at Spaceport, based at Seacombe
Ferry Terminal, Wirral, building an army of Daleks, Donna will be
avoiding the sinister Santa’s and a team of Clockwork Droids could
see time is up for some visitors!
The raft of characters, as well as some surprise monsters, will at
the venue from around 10am on both days and everyone is welcome
along.
Children are encouraged to come along in fancy dress and spot prizes
and certificates will be given out for the best dressed during the
weekend.
Classic Doctor Who characters including Ood, Daleks, Sycorax, Pig
Guard, Brannigan, Dr Constantine and – of course – Pudsey Bear will
ensure safe passage into and around the attraction for visitors.
Also taking place is the The Art of Doctor Who exhibition, a world
first, gives visitors the chance to see how Doctor Who is created
from the first script to the final television programme.
It showcases many of the actual props, costumes and monsters from
the hit BBC series, together with some intriguing insights into how
the programme is made.
Visitors can use interactive touch-screens, see exhibits on the
craft behind monster making and catch up with what exactly goes on
behind the scenes.
The displays feature the expertise behind many production areas,
from special effects and CGI (computer generated imagery), to
make-up and costume.
An infamous Dalek is also on show, alongside the TARDIS and many of
the Time lord’s age old enemies, including a Cyberman and the
Sontaran.
Spaceport is owned and operated by Merseytravel and is based at
Seacombe Ferry Terminal in Wirral, Merseyside.
