Evenin' all,
It's a bit strange, me posting in the Dr Who section of the forum, but hey ho.
Ok, for those that don't know, I do a bit of volunteer work at the local tourist railway. Mostly in the commercial area, souvenir shop, things like that. But anyway, This weekend (well, Sunday and Bank-Holiday-Monday) is quite a strange weekend there, as we are hosting a Dr Who themed event.
Railway website: CVR Home php
Dalek Invasion '09 flyer: CVR Dalek Invasion
[Btw, this isn't advertising, I'm not saying "You should go!", I'm just posting this as it's a Dr Who thing and I'll have some cool photos soon enough]
Anyway, basically what it is is there's a load of Daleks (fully operational, moving, talking, and making smoke) roaming around a railway station, along with a David Tenant impersonator (or two; see below). There's also toy stalls (run by me), and activities for the kids (making Daleks from polystyrene cups, making cyberman masks, etc etc), so it's a pretty good day out.
As I said, the first day was yesterday, in which time we sold 80% of our toy stall stock, and were completely knackered. Later, while explaining to a friend in Brazil why I was so tired, and then trying to explain what Doctor Who is, I sent her a photo I found on Google, of David Tenant in front of a Tardis. She thought it was me... I don't have a trench coat, but if I wear my suit and normal coat I'll (allegedly) look close enough to get some good photos...
[Added photos of day One]
Photo 1: David Tenant impersonator and Dalek
Photo 2: David Tenant impersonator and Dalek
Photo 3: Another Dalek, me, and Tardis
Photo 4: About as close as I can get, I think... I'm not sure if it'll work, but could be fun...
I'll be taking more photos and videos of the event today, so more to see soon!
