FANS of the popular TV series Dr Who celebrated the 40th anniversary of the show at the Worcestershire hall where the original episodes were filmed.

Visitors to the convention at Woodnorton Hall, near Evesham, had the chance to meet Colin Baker, the sixth Doctor and Terry Mollog, who played Davros, the leader of the Daleks.

The convention, which was held on Sunday, also gave fans the opportunity to get a rare sight of the original tardis as well as one of the largest collections of privately owned Daleks in the country.

"It went really well", said Terry Smith, the event organiser.

"We probably had about 300 people attend the event.

"People from all over the country turned up, bringing their own Daleks with them.

"One guy even came down from Scotland with his Dalek."

Donations on the day also raised £73 for the British Heart Foundation.
