New Series Gold Dalek
 
The Churnet Valley Railway played host to an exhibition to celebrate 40 years of Doctor Who.

 

The exhibition was set up in the new waiting room and The Doctor ( a sort of Tom Baker look alike) introduced himself just as the TARDIS doors burst open and a Dalek appeared from within. There is a noisy bit of banter and then the Doctor dispatched the Dalek back into the TARDIS. All this was accompanied by the theme music, flashing lights, smoke in a room full of posters and Who information.

Dalek = Derek
Dalek Operator = Richard Knight
the Doctor = Mine host and Steve Hatcher

 

Derek and The Doctor

Many people were scared and left in a hurry
when the Dalek appeared - the magic is still there!

But for Ric and me the most memorable part was going out onto the platform and "seeing" the steam trains off...
