Sheffield 1991

[Zbigniev Hamson]

I hope you enjoy these EXCLUSIVE and astounding pics

I think this was 1991 (or 1990). Mary Tamm decided she was too good to sit with Nicola Bryant, Sophie Aldred, JN-T and Mark Ayres (well can't argue with the last one) and so had to sit on her own with a smug looking minder. I only took 6 or 7 pictures, and the others were just a pile of Target books and some bloke in a Tom Baker costume.

Mark Ayres looks the same as he does now.

I don't remember this. It definitely wasnt the 1990 one.

[Zbigniev Hamson]

Are you accusing me of faking it

[Paul Monk]

Great pics Zbig. I demand more!

Tamm looks extra glam in those shots.

Yes, i demand much larger resolution scans!

I don't think it would make any difference really as the original pictures aren't that sharp anyway. I think the camera dates from the 60s or 70s

As for more pics, well unless you want some bloke in a 4th Doctor costume and a pile of Target books I wouldn't get your hopes up

I don't remember this. It definitely wasnt the 1990 one.

The rest of the film definitely dates from 1991, but these were the first pics on there and I could easily have left the camera sitting around for a year. But as far as I recall there was a signing event two years running. They had similar guests, except the first one had Colin Baker and David Banks as well, but no Mary Tamm. As far as I remember the first one was lots of fun and had a great atmosphere, and the second one was just held in some big spartan hall and nobody bothered staying long.

Wow, Sheffield in 1991 - my early years in Sheffield (though blissfully unaware of the visitation here)

The one in 1990 was great (I was there) and held in the Sheffield Polytechnic - the stars were Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Sophie Aldred and David Banks (plugging his book). It was indeed a great atmos, I remember there being a lot of fans who'd brought in their own costumes - so lots of Cybermen and a couple of Daleks. I also met up with some people I knew through a Doctor Who group and the Sheffield Poly sci fi group "Moontrapped".

I went home in the same carrage as Sophie Aldred (he fee obviously not including 1st class ticket). I was too painfully shy to say hi outside of the hall. But she was talking to a couple of people saying a new series was definitely going to happen. Wrong Sophie!

I used to go to Moontrapped. I met Kinggoose there!

Maybe she was talking about 2005

Maybe she was talking about 2005

She was planning to be in it!

[Zbigniev Hamson]

She still has time

I loved those Sheffield Space Centre events.

It's odd, but through meeting Doctors Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy - they are such wonderfully nice, and warm people you find yourself looking for reasons to like their stories.

For similar reasons I find myself finding reasons to dislike Tom Bakers stories.
