This video takes you back to a gloriously hot day in August 2003, for an outdoor DOCTOR WHO event to celebrate the show's 40th Anniversary (which was in November).
The Longleat stately home and grounds near Warminster in Wiltshire is home to the Marquess of Bath and a popular Safari Park. But for many Doctor Who fans it is more known for its Doctor Who Exhibition (which ran from 1974 to 2003) and many conventions - including the historic '20 Years of a Time Lord' event in 1983.
This video features the last of those 'Doctor Who Days' with fans roaming about and interacting with various Daleks, Cybermen and other monsters (and a slightly erratic radio-controlled K9!). It was filmed on high quality digital video, and is presented here for the first time in a brand new fabulous 2021 edit with music from the RU-vid audio library!
According to Mark Barton Hill who helped organise the event (and appears dressed as 'Adric' in the video), it was a very successful day on the whole. However, it was somewhat marred by news that they were closing The Doctor Who Exhibition and whispers of a new series in the pipeline (which was formally announced by the BBC a month later)!
Starring in the video are:
- Colin Baker (The Sixth Doctor, @SawbonesHex on X)
- Sophie Aldred (Ace, @sophie_aldred on X)
- John Leeson (K-9)
Plus
- Members of the Doctor Who Production Team old and new
- Original BBC prop and replica Daleks, Cybermen & K9!

I first visited it in summer 1974 when I was 11, bought Dr Who theme on a 45 record from the gift shop. Also visited it a few times in the 90s, as I was living quite local to Longleat at the time in Warminster.

An amazing event I remember so fondly. It was magical. Thank you so much for uploading this - our photos of this event are lost somewhere... but I shall find them! One day... yes... one day.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you! Wonderful to see people who attended the actual event are still discovering this video, which was a pleasure to film and put together almost 20 years later!

Oh my giddy aunt. I was the other 2nd doctor. What a wonderful day that was. Thanks for uploading this video. Such wonderful memories.

@richies_scifi_collectables Год назад

Glad you enjoyed the video, and yes the day itself was such a wonderful celebration with many happy memories! :)

@stevenalexander3801 2 года назад

Superb! We were there, nostalgia for a really great day... We didn't even know Doctor Who would be back in 2 years!

@richies_scifi_collectables 2 года назад

Thanks for watching, glad it brought back the memories of a great day! :)

Blimey, this was a blast from the past! Thanks so much for uploading, I was in the cyber controller costume that day and the heat was absolutely ridiculous. Overriding memories were pouring sweat out of my boots, staying still in the exhibition and jerking into life which caused a child to scream and run out of the exhibition much to the annoyance of his parents- why bring him in there in the first place being the obvious question?- and at the end of the day getting out of costume, putting my clothes on and the absolute embarrassment when I clocked that my sweat soaked boxers had soaked through my jeans and we had a 4 hour trip back to Manchester ahead of us. I'll tell you what though- I wouldn't have changed it for the world! Arguably the last really memorable event before the series returned and the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing.

Thanks very much for watching and sharing your memories from the day! I agree there hasn't been an event quite like it since.

Did you visit the Doctor Who Exhibition at Longleat? Or one of the 'Doctor Who Days'? Add a comment to share your memories!

This is really cool, Your so lucky to have gone. Great video.

@richies_scifi_collectables 3 года назад

Thanks, yes, it was a really special day. I'm glad to have finally edited the footage so other fans who were there or missed it can enjoy it too!

I visited Longleat today and found that that big TARDIS Police Box at 0:44 is actually still there, just painted white. Good to see it hasn't been removed.

@richies_scifi_collectables 3 года назад

Oh wow, thanks for the update on the 'Longleat TARDIS'! Good to know it is still there!

@badwolf66 3 года назад

Looks like it was a fun event and to think that 2 years later NuWho would air on our screens!

@richies_scifi_collectables 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! Yes, it really was a lot of fun, but seriously hot (and I wasn't in a Dalek or monster costume!) 🔥😅 There were constant rumours about a return to TV or film at the time, I think it was officially announced just a month or two after this event. 😊

@mycamstudionetwork 3 года назад

An excellent piece. There are a few fans in costumes I remember seeing such as the Master, Adric (MBH) and the 2nd Doctor. Plus aliens I saw behind the scenes shedding their skin to become human once more such as the Tomb Cyberman and Sontaran who we wet with sweat. Colin Baker was amazing and I heard Sophie ask if her child (I think daughter) was doing OK. I sadly didn't get any cake...I'm not a cake eater. Though now, 18 years later, wish I got a piece and framed it as "this cake has spit on it from when Colin Baker, Sophie Aldred and John Leeson blew out candles on Doctor Who's 40th bithday". LOL David Nagel's Chimera was fun to watch being made. An excellent film given the limitations in amateur video production. A great day for all of us fans.

Thanks for watching and sharing your memories of the event Peter! All the Daleks, Cybermen and other costumed fans look amazing in the glorious sunshine (although it was seriously hot even for us not dressed up)! I didn't get any cake either! LOL
