Former Time Lord Peter Davison is coming to Bedford' s latest Doctor Who convention.
And he's not the only one - as Peter will be joined by two of the fifth Doctor’s companions - Sarah Sutton and Janet Fielding, who played Nyssa and Tegan.

All profits from Bedford Who Charity Con 6 will go to Bedford Foodbank.
The convention - which takes place on Saturday, October 16 at The King’s House in Ampthill Road - is being organised by Simon Danes, one of the Foodbank’s trustees.
He said: “People are coming down to Bedford from all over the country to meet Peter. It should be a great day. Doctor Who fans really enjoy our events: they’re informal, relaxed, welcoming, and above all, fun.

Simon added, “We’re also hugely grateful to the convention’s sponsors: Elstow Ceramic Tiles, M&DH Insurance, Kimm and Miller, Parrott Construction, and The Pavenham Charitable Trust.”
And we’re offering the chance for you to win two tickets. All you have to do is answer the following brain teaser, set by Simon: Peter Davison is his own father-in-law. Explain.
