Karen Gillan To Join Doctor Who Convention

Karen Gillan to join the Official Doctor Who Convention

BBC Worldwide confirmed today that Karen Gillan will be joining her co-stars Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill at the Official Doctor Who Convention taking place on the 24th and 25th March at Cardiff’s Millennium Centre.

Karen Gillan said: “I’m really looking forward to the Convention and meeting all of the wonderful Doctor Who fans!”

The Convention brings the makers of the Doctor Who together for a full day, in-depth event designed to reveal the inner workings of the series. On the main stage live pyrotechnic demonstrations will thrill attendees, while in detailed prosthetics masterclasses fans will see a monster made flesh in front of their eyes. Throughout these sessions the secrets of their craft will be revealed by masters of the trade including Danny Hargreaves, Doctor Who’s SFX Supervisor and Neill Gorton co-director of Millennium FX, Europe’s leading supplier of cutting edge prosthetics, animatronics and special make-up FX.

Karen Gillan joins a full contingent of Doctor Who professionals ready to give fans an unrivalled glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of Doctor Who. Everyone from the Production Designer Michael Pickwoad, responsible for Doctor Who’s eye-popping visuals to Casting Director Andy Pryor revealing what it takes to find a Doctor will be gathering in one place to celebrate the creativity (and elbow grease!) that goes into the series.

Tickets are on sale now, priced at £99 and available at www.dwconvention.com

    Im going and I am meeting matt and Karen on the Sunday, if you have already purchased a ticket, you can just now book a ticket for a photo or autograph with karen or Arthur, without having to buy the expensive ticket first.
    But still I can’t wait to go

    I’m going only because I live near and never get to go to other stuff and it’s a late xmas present, I got a photo booked with Matt for the sunday but I honestly don’t think I’m getting my moneys worth because I can’t even get a autograph from Karen without paying another £120!
