Who’s who of monsters comes to Spaceport

THE secrets of Doctor Who are revealed in an exclusive exhibition which opens at Spaceport in Merseyside later this week.

For the first time ever, fans will be able to see how the iconic television series is made and how the monsters and special effects are created.

The Art of Doctor Who shows how Doctor Who stories are developed from the first script to the final television programme.

It will also showcase many of the actual props, costumes and monsters from the hit BBC series.

The alien known as the Hath – seen for the first time on television this month – will be among the exhibits alongside the Doctor’s traditional enemies, the Sontarans, Cybermen and Daleks.

Martin Wilkie has worked on the TV series and is with Experience Design, the team behind Doctor Who Exhibitions, and is helping bring it this latest event to Spaceport in Seacombe, Wirral.

Martin said: “This exhibition is unique and the fans are going to love it.

“Many of the favourite characters are here, but this is the first time we have lifted the curtain to take fans behind the scenes to see exactly how the series – as well as the special effects – are created.”

The exhibition opens on Friday. For further information, call Spaceport on 0151 330 1333 or visit www.spaceport.org.uk
