News Happy Birthday Paul Kasey & Joshua Weevil


Paul has performed as creatures, aliens and time zombies in the Whoniverse as well as performing in human form! 

Joshua is our resident weevil and has been with us for 5 years. Rescued from a scientific building a good few years ago, we have no idea how old he really is but given his attitude to most things we’re estimating he probably is still just a teenager.   

Did you know on this day in 1965, Episode 3 of The Space Mission: The Search was broadcast.  It was Season 2 and starred William Hartnell as the Doctor, with companions, William Russell, Jacqueline Hill and Maureen O’Brien.  Jeremy Bulloch also appeared in this story. 
Writer was Glyn John and Director Mervyn Pinfield.
