Doctor Who Celebrating 50 Years
Aunty offers you the chance to find out if bow ties are cool.
Overview
Whole seasons of the newly-resurrected Doctor Who have focused on the dangers of getting close to its semi-titular hero, the Doctor. Fellow time travellers have been left stranded, blithe or in trauma after the show's various writers were done with them. After that sort of warning, you may not want to get too close to the show's manic star. The ABC are attempting to solve this problem. At their Sydney headquarters they're hosting the Doctor Who Celebrating 50 Years of Adventures in Space and Time exhibition. It features the Doctor's props and costumes, but for your safety, crushingly, leaves out the man himself.
In the show itself, visiting this sort of exhibition might be exactly the way that an adventure through time and space would start. And while the ABC doesn't promise in any way that their mannequins will come to life and attack you, it's still probably no bad thing to scope out the exits routes on your way in.
The exhibition is open Monday to Friday, 9-5, except for election week September 2-8. It will be open weekends from 10-5 only the weekends of August 17-18, August 31- September 1, October 5-6, November 2-3 and 23-24 and the Australia Day weekend, January 25-27.
