And Speaking of Doctor Who and Ottawa

[dewline]

Ottawa Comiccon is this weekend, and among the actors named as guests at that event are the following:

• Peter Capaldi
• Jenna Coleman
• Alex Kingston
• John Barrowman

We have enough "names" present in Ottawa-Gatineau as of this morning that we could have filmed an episode of Doctor Who entirely on location hereabouts. A script worth performing and a production team were unavailable, however.

Missed opportunity.

Much like the CBC letting the series escape to Space Channel...

Wow, that sounds quite amazing. I met Peter Davison MANY years ago, along with the man who voiced K-9. He was pretty cool, we talked a bit in the hotel bar. I don't remember the name of the con, but it was specifically a Doctor Who con in Scottsdale, AZ. Probably late '80s? Having scheduled and ran many Phoenix SciFi cons, how Phoenix managed to land it I'll never know.
