WELCOME TO WHOLANTA!!!

12 years, and we say hello to a new name, WHOlanta!! Why? We needed a new name after dropping (sadly) StarGate from our anchor. Now, we are all Doctor Who franchises and all things British! Don’t worry… We still have our Otherworlds track for those American subjects that can’t be left out!

Get your red shoes on Friday night for the David Bowie band, “The Band Who Fell To Earth”, and reset your calendars (and costumes) for the 1930s for our “Murder on the Orient Express” Dance on Saturday night!! A special tribute to our longtime friend, Sacha Dzuba, is scheduled for Saturday at 10:00 p.m. in the Magnolia Room on the 15th floor.

We added VIP badges this year that include a reception with our guests on Friday night at 7:00 p.m., a con shirt, one guest autograph or photograph, front row seating in Main Programming, and an exclusive badge. If you did not buy your VIP badge already, you still can buy one or upgrade to one at Registration!

Our WHOlanta Store is THE place to get your tickets for everything and souvenirs!! Bought guest autograph or photo ops online? Need to pick up your VIP shirt or guest ticket? Charity Cabaret tickets? This year’s t-shirt? What about our exclusive Titan comic book? Next year’s badge for only $35.00? Get all of them at the WHOlanta Store!!

Drop your canned goods for the Intown Food Pantry at Information Services, and PLEASE support our Charity Cabaret on Saturday night! There is a $5.00 additional admission. It is well worth the small additional expense for the extra performances by our guests. 100% of the proceeds will go to sup-port the Atlanta Intown Food Pantry. Get your entry sticker at the Store.

Many thanks to our Immortals, VIPs, dealers, sponsors, the great staff of the Marriott Century Center, and to our fantastic volunteers, who make TimeGate/WHOlanta such a huge success! Special thanks to Robert Lloyd for

his help with this program book, and to Tony Cade and Challenges Games and Comics for giving us space for making badges! And, don’t forget to visit our con suites on the 15th floor when you need to refuel!

COLIN BAKER first came to major fame

when he joined the cast of the BBC dra-

ma, The Brothers, in 1974, playing the part

of Paul Merroney, a JR Ewing type who

was dubbed the most hated man in Britain.

He found international fame when he took

on the role of the Sixth Doctor in 1984.

He appeared onstage as the Doctor in

1989 in Terrence Dicks’ Doctor Who: The

Ultimate Adventure, and in 1999, he joined

the ranks of Big Finish Audio, alongside

his two companions Peri (Nicola Bryant)

and Mel (Bonnie Langford), as well as introducing wonderful new com-

panions, like Evelyn Smythe (Maggie Stables) and Phillipa “Flip” Jack-

son (Lisa Greenwood).

Colin Baker

Nicola Bryant NICOLA BRYANT is well known

to Doctor Who fans for playing

Perpugillium “Peri” Brown, companion to

the Fifth and Sixth Doctors. She has con-

tinued her role as Peri in numerous Big

Finish audio dramas, and has directed

two Big Finish releases, UNIT: The Wast-

ing (starring Nicholas Courtney as the

Brigadier and David Tennant as Colonel

Brimmicombe-Wood) and Judge Dredd:

99 Code Red!

She reunited with Colin Baker for a se-

ries of Doctor Who-esque movies called, The Stranger, in which she

played Miss Brown. She appeared as Elenya Brown alongside numer-

ous Who co-stars in 1993’s ecologically-minded The Airzone Solu-

tion (which also featured Colin Baker, Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison,

Sylvester McCoy, Nicholas Briggs, Michael Wisher and Gary Russell).

CAMILLE CODURI is best known

to Doctor Who fans as Jackie Tyler, Rose’s

mum, in the Christopher Eccleston and

David Tennant years. She was an integral

part, not only of the series’ relaunch ap-

pearing in the very first episode, “Rose,”

but also its first regeneration.

But, Camille is much more than Doctor

Who, of course. She got her first major ex-

posure to American audiences in the 1991

film, King Ralph, starring alongside John

Goodman, Peter O’Toole and the late John

Hurt. She’s also had recurring roles in series, like A Touch of Frost,

The Ruth Rendell Murders, The Last Detective (starring Peter Da-

vison), Lark Rise to Candleford, Ashes to Ashes, Midsomer Murders,

and many others. She has appeared in two films written and directed

by her Doctor Who co-star Noel Clarke, Adulthood and 4.3.2.1.

Jerome Newton and the Band

Who Fell to Earth is an Atlanta-

based David Bowie tribute band.

The band began as a chance for a

few musicians with more artsy aspi-

rations to cut loose and simply have

some fun. They’ll play all your Bow-

ie favorites, like “Space Oddity,”

“Fame,” “Ziggy Stardust,” “Let’s Dance”, plus a couple of surprises.

Lt. Moxie Magnus is a shimmering, glowing

star in the firmament of the United Federation

of Planets. Through space age sling-shot tech-

nology, this seven and a half foot tall glamazon

(mostly hair and heels) has come rocketing

back to us from the future, dragging some

laughs with her along the way! In the

23rd century, she serves as the Chief

Cosmetology Officer aboard the USS Enter-

prise under the command of James T. Kirk.

There, she navigates the world of serially da-

ting redshirts and keeping the fleet in regulation

bouffants. Here, in the 21st century, she writes about her adventures,

with tongue firmly placed in cheek, in her blog, “Moxie Magnus: Star

Trek Cosmetologist”. Although she has often been told “In space, no

one can hear you, queen”, that hasn’t stopped her from entertaining

fans and the fleet both in and out of this world. In her spare time, this

dedicated Star Trek drag queen enjoys cataloging unicorn species,

looking at pictures of cats on the internet, and trying out new replicated

food cube recipes. Her favorite movies are Beach Blanket Bingo, Gidg-

et and Pon Far Surf Party.

(Century Ballroom)

FRIDAY

6:00 PM – “Doctor Who Reanimated!”

7:00 PM – We Are Family — The idea of “family” in Doctor Who has a long

ries as the Doctor – join us for a review of the stories so far and a non-spoilery

cra lumbered across our screens, only to be wiped from the BBC archives. 40

years later, they made a surprise return in “Gridlock”. 10 years on, let’s look at

the surprising thematic links between the two tales.

10:00 PM – From Sunnydale to Gallifrey: Doctor Who in the Whedon-

verse —When bringing Doctor Who back to television in 2005, writer/

producer, Russell T. Davies, chose Buffy The Vampire Slayer as his model of

how to fuse soap opera style domestic drama with high fantasy. Let’s look at

sons from Angel, and how Torchwood, Sarah Jane and Class all modeled

themselves on aspects of the Whedonverse.

ended their time with as much ambiguity as the Sixth Doctor and Peri with

very different destinies awaiting them on TV, on audio, and in print. On the flip

side, Mel is the only companion (apart from Susan) with no official origin story.

Let’s sort through the tangled timelines from the Classic Series, Target and

BBC Books, and Big Finish!

2:00 PM – VIDEO – “Love & Monsters” — Don’t bring me down, Grooss!

3:00 PM – Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps): Classic Creatures in Who

the ways the series shapes these iconic creatures into cosmic menaces!

ture, the audio debut of Camille Coduri’s Jackie, and the final appearance of

John Hurt as the War Doctor.

Troughton serial was broadcast 50 years ago today, so we’re screening the

only two remaining episodes of this classic tale.

8:00 PM – VIDEO: “Whose Doctor Who?” — Just over 40 years ago, on

April 3, 1977, BBC-2 broadcast the very first documentary about the Doctor

Who phenomenon. This excellent show talks to young fans, parents, and child

psychologists about the appeal of the program, and is illustrated with clips of

all the Doctors, as well as behind the scenes footage of “The Talons of Weng-

Chiang.”

producer, Chris Chibnall, whose credits include, Life On Mars

and Broadchurch, as well as Torchwood and Doctor Who. What might we

expect from the Chibnall era?

2:00 PM – Time Lords! Gallifrey’s Greatest Crimes & Cover-Ups — The

high and mighty Time Lords of Gallifrey sell themselves as the impartial arbi-

ters of history – but a closer look reveals a society that produces evil master-

minds at an alarming rate, and a government rife with conspiracies and cover-

ups. Let’s look at the stories that THEY don’t want you to know!

3:00 PM – Why I Stayed – Sexism in Doctor Who — The “Doctor Who Girls”

have always been a much more proactive and forward-looking group of wom-

en than they’re usually given credit for. But, sometimes the series is a mess of

gendered violence and Whosplaining, especially in the problematic pairing of

Peri and Six. Let’s talk it out!

4:00 PM– Who’s Next? — Capaldi is leaving, so the bets are on for who’ll

pilot the TARDIS next! Come share your hopes and fears for who might play

sion, as our panelists decide, if this is the sorting hat they’re looking for.
