Before I got to the Party, the guys watched episodes 1 & 4 of The Invasion<\/em>; as well as the Cyberwoman<\/em> episode of Torchwood<\/em>…and some cricket, (which can be a good cure for insomnia, for some). The guys didn’t like Cyberwoman<\/em>, but I liked it. We’re all different, eh?<\/p>\n
People pondered if Series 3 would suffer from RTD’s split attention with Torchwood<\/em>, an upcoming wrestling event was discussed, Zeus Plug<\/em> issues 6 & 7 were handed out (along with the booklet\/flyers for the National Science Fiction Conventions), and RTP!<\/em> was on sale.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Large amounts of candy, crisps, and softdrink were consumed (perhaps contributing to a somewhat hyper atmosphere), and seating was for the most part adequate (with Russell getting nods of ‘you did that?’ over his cycling to the day with a folding chair on the back of his bicycle).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was wearing my authentic-looking Tom Baker scarf (season 13\/14). My wife & I brought Dalek Cupcakes; these were popular! Another fan brought Cyberman Biscuits; I was lucky to get the last one! Mrs left to visit more rellies, & I stayed, of course…being more than a little into DW<\/em>… \"John\u00a0<\/p>\n
I showed off my DW<\/em> Interactive Electronic Board Game, I’m still not sure if anyone wanted to play it, as the bunch were rather loud, though cheerful. The miniature TARDIS in the game was a bit of a hit. Also, some guys admired the Dalek bottlestopper on my wine bottle; and my classic Sonic Screwdriver.<\/p>\n
With me, I brought a number of DVDs & videos. Matt, being a very modern young chap, doesn’t have a VCR, so it was lucky most of my offerings were on disc! \ud83d\ude42 I began by issuing a challenge: “Who is the Who<\/em> actor?” I showed a scene off a BBC disc….no-one had a clue. Gave the decade; then the Doctor, finally, the story…at last, a winner!<\/p>\n
Presenting Colin Baker playing an artist in Jonathan Creek<\/em>, a\u00a0number of speculative remarks were made, on what Colin could mean, by asking a woman on the ‘phone to “Come round, and make me bark like a Sealion!” \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
[I later found Carry On Up the Jungle<\/em> at The Warehouse, Blenheim Road. On watching it, I couldn’t see Nina Baden-Semper (recently guest-starred in a Big Finish audio play); however, it did feature an amusing turn by Bernard Bresslaw (The Ice Warriors<\/em>)]<\/p>\n
Well, there you have it…the Chch Chapter Christmas Party, 2006. As a fan who’s getting to know the Chch guys, I\u00a0think they’re splendid fellows. All of them!\u00a0I’m keen to go again!<\/font><\/div>\n
