With Special Guest Inspector Spacetime
The annual convention billed as the premier Doctor Who event in the Midwest took place over the weekend.
(From the Elgin Courier-News preview: “For the uninitiated, Doctor Who involves the exploits of the titular character, a time lord from another world who takes human companions on adventures through history using the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), a space ship of sorts that looks like an English police box on the outside. The British sci-fi series originally ran from 1963 until 1989. There was a made-for-TV movie in 1996. The series returned to the BBC in 2005, and now it is more popular than ever.”)
