FORMER Doctor Who Colin Baker is coming to Blackburn in November.

The sixth Time Lord star of the long-running BBC Series Dr Who will materialise at King George's Hall for the town’s second Comic Con.

This is the second year that the Blackburn Business Improvement District have sponsored the event.

Before his visit on Saturday November 4, actor Mr Baker said; “I’m really looking to meeting the people of Blackburn.”

The event will have more than 50 stalls selling collectors items, memorabilia, props and models displays.

Organiser, Neil Livesey of Wonky Rocket Events said; “It’s been an ambition to establish a comic con in Blackburn and thanks to the Blackburn BID’s support over we have been able to grow the event at King George's offering fans and families even more things to do, see and buy in the run up to Christmas.”
