 31/10: THE DAME OF POMPEII Utopia simply wouldn't be Utopia without honorary Fantom Films Dame, the ever gorgeous Tracey Childs. Tracey will be on hand to discuss the high fashion, high drama, sailing series Howards' Way, her snobbish turn in Ancient Rome in Doctor Who, and a whole host of other things, maybe even a few exclusives on some forthcoming audio projects... |
09/10: SURELY IT'S SUSAN? An actual Doctor Who legend, and not just a companion, no no no, Carole Ann Ford played the ONLY relative of The Doctor's we have seen in the entire history of the show. Carole Ann will be meeting fans and sharing her experiences of working at the start of the television show which has captivated the nation for nearly fifty years. That's Doctor Who, incase you were uncertain at the back! |
21/09: BON(TIE) TEMPS
We absolutely thrilled that stage and screen legend Bonnie Langford has agreed to attend Utopia 2012. Best known to Doctor Who fans as the health crazed computer expert (really?) and all round fashion victim, Melanie Bush, Bonnie recently found herself back in the spotlight with Dancing On Ice... has anyone packed their skates?!

12/09: ONE WE INVITED EARLIER
Long before he tackled excursions, makes and messy elephants, Peter Purves was space hero Steven Taylor, tackling terrors from Daleks to Monoids to Dodo. We are delighted that Peter will be joining us in Oxford, and who knows what kind of special workshops could be heading your way...
|
24/08: HAVE YOU MET MRS JONES?
Well if you haven't, then now's your chance, with our first fantastic companion announcement!

 17/08: CONVENTION AND THE RANI Esteemed actress Kate O'Mara who is probably best known for her stints on Dynasty and Howard’s Way will be joining us for Utopia 2012! Although Kate was one of Hammer Studio's Glamour Girls (The Vampire Lovers, The Horror of Frankenstein), these days is best known for her prominent roles in dramas such as The Brothers, Bad Girls, Triangle and a down on their luck Lady of the Manor in the revamped Crossroads has seen Kate carve a niche for herself as a determined "ball-breaking" female on television. Other television credits include Emergency – Ward 10, Danger Man, The Saint, The Champions, The Avengers, Department S, Paul Temple, and Absolutely Fabulous. |
