DWAS: Myth Makers - The Making of Doctor WHo
Monday, 24 March 2014 - Reported by Chuck Foster
The Doctor Who Appreciation Society is to present a special convention in June to celebrate the making of Doctor Who:
Over the last 51 years the Doctor has travelled through time and space on a never ending voyage of discovery. Similarly, the making of the show itself has undertaken its own journey. Today 'Doctor Who' is a colour, HD, CGI, surround sound spectacle - a far cry from its humble beginnings as a studio bound production made for monochrome 405 line televisions.
But how has the production of the programme changed in over half a century... and exactly how have they gone about making such a show over the years?
‘Myth Makers’ will feature guests involved in the ‘The Making of Doctor Who’ on both sides of the camera, and will take place at Riverside Studios, itself a home for Doctor Who during the black and white era of the 1960s.
Join us for our usual mix of panels, autographs and on screen presentations, and find out a little more about how our favourite show gets put together...
