Two very different versions of Doctor Who stories will be presented as radio plays at the Happy Who Year convention at Epsom Playhouse on Sunday 17 January 2027.

From the Who’s At The Playhouse team, a very special New Year tribute celebrates sixty-four years of Doctor Who:

David Whitaker’s “THE CRUSADE” starring COLIN BAKER

“The imagination of HG Wells has made him famous across the globe, thanks to the travels of his fantastic Time Machine… or are his tales in fact based on real-life adventures in a most unique invention?

Journeying through time to the twelfth century, Wells soon finds himself embroiled in the intrigue of Richard the Lionheart’s court. But the King – there to lead the crusades against the Saracens – has his diplomatic plans thrown into disarray, when one of Wells’ companions is kidnapped by them, and another is knighted to rescue her…”

Stephen Wyatt’s “PARADISE TOWERS”

“There was a time when the ultra-modern, man-made luxury of Paradise Towers won architectural prizes and was renowned across the galaxy. Not any more. Today, it’s a run-down, rat-infested jungle of a city, patrolled by murderous robot cleaners, rival girl street gangs, authoritarian caretakers and sweet old ladies who’ll literally eat anything. So what has caused the drastic change in Paradise Towers’ fortunes? Could it have something to do with its mysterious, unseen ruler, known to one and all as the Great Architect?

A unique chance to visit Stephen Wyatt’s Paradise Towers on stage in the company of the rascally Captain Cook from The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.”

Re-imagined without the Doctor and his companions, these sci-fi scripts tell the stories of the classic tales that inspired them, starring many of the programme’s original stars!

Welcome in the New Year with a whole host of Doctor Who actors – led by Colin Baker (the Sixth Doctor) – appearing on stage in two much-loved sci-fi stories, followed by interviews, audience Q&As, celebrity autograph panels, photograph opportunities, cosplay competitions, merchandise, and much more.
