Con Vids: Doctor Who Convention Videos
It’s been a while since I highlighted some great video footage from conventions! This time, I’ll be posting some videos from some of the absolutely fantastic Doctor Who conventions from around the world. One of the great aspects of a fandom like Doctor Who is that it has so many iconic characters, from the Doctors themselves to the many alien races bent on Earth’s domination. All of which provide great inspiration for skits, cosplays, and videos.
The first video comes from the Gallifrey 2009 Masquerade competition. The skit is called the “Timelord Retirement Club” and won The Judges Choice Award. It is a very funny and well acted skit! One word of warning: some girl decided to scream bloody murder as the Doctors were taking the stage, so I *highly* recommend you keep it on mute until the skit actually starts (and a word of advice to anyone filming videos for YouTube: DO NOT SCREAM INTO THE CAMERA. It makes people not want to watch your video at all.).

What happens when you mix anime cosplayers and the Daleks? Weird pretend battles in the middle of the convention hall, that’s what! Then the Dalek gets glomped and it’s just all down hill from there. Children - don’t glomp alien conquerors from other planets, okay? It’s not nice. This video comes from the London Midlands MCM Expo convention.
