Evie_Nitram Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 ohhh, Doctor Who Experience... I need something to do Friday morning and think you've just persuaded me to look into it! I've got you beat for how exhausted I'll be though - Wednesday 6:30pm - Relinquish parenting duties and head to London from Peterborough Wednesday 8.30pm - Dinner in planet hollywood with friends Wednesday - Thursday - hang about overnight in Leicester Square and go to Harry Potter Premiere Thursday pm - Hotel in covent garden Friday am - (hopefully go to DW experience if I can get it organised, if not, I'll probably blow my money in Forbidden Planet). Friday 3pm - Crewing for LFCC preview event Saturday stupid-O'Clock - Even later-O'Clock - Crewing then partying! Sunday - Repeat of saturday, but with a train trip home at the end of it...

Christoff Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 *sigh* I didn't know the Doctor Who Experience was nearby, had I known I'd have made plans to go, probably too late though now Their website says that they're booking until September, does anyone know if it's likely to be open there longer than that? Not sure when I'll next be in London. As for my day, it won't be as bad as yours: 12:15 - Get a bus to Birmingham 13:15: - Arrive in Birmingham 13:35 - Catch a train to London 15:50 - Arrive at London Euston Then I'll spend at least 30 minutes trying to work out, and getting to my hotel 17:00 - Leave hotel to walk to preview night I have a feeling Saturday will be a crazy day though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 My Friday will be simple. 4.30am Drive to Silverstone. After that the day will consist of eating, a lot of walking, eating, drinking, eating, watching cars, eating, taking photos, and possibly eating.

I'm also planning to go see David and Catherine but probably Saturday night as opposed to Friday. So Wyndhams are expecting fans to show up at the stage door who haven't been to the show? And have planned for it? I can understand that, given the leads, and David & Catherine not signing Who stuff (which would almost definitely go straight on ebay), but that kind of thing is otherwise usually considered a bit not good Bad Form. *has totally not just had 3 months of this with Frankenstein* I'm going to the show and the stage door with my brother and his girlfriend this Friday :) Can't wait!

Spectrum Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I agree with Laura - not to sound preachy, but I'm a huge theatre fan and it's etiquette to actually see the show you're stage-dooring. Also it's annoying for people who have been in the theatre to get out and find the barrier completely blocked off by people who turned up during the curtain call. It's a fantastic show I'd really recommend seeing if you can - even though the run is sold out you can get dayseats, returns or standing tickets on the day of performance. But if you are going to go anyway, you don't need to be there at 8pm. The show starts at 7:30pm and lasts at least two and a half hours so you can make the most of the preview evening.
