With the ever-growing popularity of Doctor Who in the past few years, the need for a place where Whovians (devotee’s of the hit BBC series) can express their love and support for the show, culminated last weekend at Gallifrey One, the world’s largest and longest running annual fan-run Doctor Who convention. What started out 25 years ago as small fan convention that pulled in a few hundred fans, drew in over 3,700 attendees over the 2014 President’s Day weekend.
With celebrity appearances from Colin Baker (6th Doctor), Paul McGann (8th Doctor), Billie Piper (Companion: Rose Tyler), Arthur Darvill (Companion: Rory Williams) and dozens of other guests, fans of all ages were in for a treat. In addition to autograph signings, there were specialty panels, themed puppet shows, reunion panels, a giant vendor room and tons of photo-ops with guests dressed like their favorite time-lord, alien species, menacing robots or feisty female companions.
Our own resident Whovian, 5 1/2 year old Lindalee Rose, returned for her 2nd year visit at Gallifrey One. Having gotten her 1st big break at the event last year, her excitement was unbridled to return and connect with fellow Doctor Who fans and interview some of the cast of the show.
We’ve compiled a best of Gallifrey One 2014 video that our Beyond the Marquee Web-Series crew captured with Lindalee Rose during her adventures in space, time…and the Marriott Los Angeles Airport Hotel.
