Philosophical Time Travel
Doctor at Sea
Since 1988 a curious Doctor Who event has been taking place. Almost unnoticed by fandom in general, Dan Harris has been quietly organising cruises around the coast of America with fans and stars from Doctor Who. This must surely be the most obscure and unique fan activity of all! Join the intrepid Reeltime crew as we board the good ship Fascination with Nicholas Courtney, Yee Jee Tso and Lisa Bowerman as it leaves Miami on it’s way across the Gulf of Mexico. Somehow in this totally unique video (between trips on a glass bottom boat and to the Mayan ruins at Tulum) we manage to… squeeze in a Writers Workshop with Gary Russell, Stephen Cole and Simon Gerard… chat to the stars and fans about why they signed up… and include highlights of previous cruises.
ReUNITed at Chicago Tardis
It was a operation worthy of UNIT itself… bringing The Brigadier (Nicholas Courtney), Captain Yates (Richard Franklin) and RSM Benton (John Levene) back together again at Chicago TARDIS.

Jeremy Bentham and many more about the secret behind UNIT’s success.

Where on Earth Is Katy Manning?
By her own admission, Katy Manning is ‘as blind as a bat’ and never knows where she’ll end up. When she suddenly arrived in the UK, Katy was probably as surprised as the rest of us! Determined to thank the legion of Doctor Who fans who had written and supported her during her years abroad, Katy embarked on a whirlwind tour of British conventions and shops before leaving (yet again) for Australia… Along the way bump into Nicholas Courtney, Richard Franklin, John Leeson, Sophie Aldred, Sylvester McCoy, Michael Sheard and other surprise guest stars!
