Gallifrey One, 2024

My plan was to blog an intense account of everything I did at Gallifrey One this year. But you know what? I ran out of time. So here’s a gallery of the best moments.

Matthew “Adric” Waterhouse. “Now I’ll never know if I was right!”
Matthew Waterhouse script reading. He is playing the Doctor, and the cosplayer is playing Adric.
Billie Piper explains that she wanted to move on to more edgy and less well-behaved roles after Doctor Who
“Hello, sweetie!”
Derek Jacobi mortified with embarrassment as they play an old recording of him singing “Home on the Range”
Οὐδεὶς δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν·
Nobody can serve two Masters.
Annette Badland, Shaun Dingwall, Jacqueline King, Camille Coduri, Fraser Hines and Matthew Waterhouse
Jenna: Where are you going?
Cally: I’m going to clear the neutron blasters for firing.
Jenna: Well, what are you going to fire at?
Cally: Anything that moves.

(plus the second Travis)

Cosplay

Hannah, my partner in crime, as the 8th Doctor
Nine and Ten.
The definite article, you might say.
Leela cosplay
The Meeping Angel.
Cally. (Previously Leela.)
Annoyed that this ended up out of focus but maybe it’s more atmospheric that way.
Robot Santas. Or something.
Meep: “Will you be my friend?”
Me: “No.”
The littlest cosplayer.

Ribbons

Our contribution to the cult of ribbons.

A fantastic weekend while other things were on fire. No actual Doctor, but maybe that made it more relaxed. Hope to come back again next year.
