DOCTOR WHO MUSEUM BLACKPOOL WILL BE CLOSED FOR WINTER AND WILL RE-OPEN ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 16 th 2008
Blackpool has been the home of Doctor Who before but can now
boast the most extensive collection of Doctor Who programme
exhibits ever.
The collection charts the four decades of the memorable BBC
science fiction series from its beginnings way back in 1963
right up to the new 2005 episodes. Many of the Doctor's famous
enemies appear in all their glory including the Cybermen, Daleks,
the Yeti, Ice Warrior, Silurian, Davros and many more.
These are the actual BBC props set together with fascinating
items from the wardrobe and design departments. In addition
you can see many of the actual costumes worn by the Doctors
and the assistants plus video clips from throughout the programme's
history including the different title sequences from the original
ghostly Hartnell version onwards.
The museum is a treasure trove for any lover of Doctor Who and
those eager to see what has made this the longest running science
fiction programme in the world. At over 5500 square feet in
size there's more than you might expect around every corner.
