Date | City | State | Venue | Name | Guests | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
July 6-8, 1979 | Los Angeles | California | LA Marriott | Los Angeles Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Convention | No Doctor Who guests, but continuous videos of the series played in the "Doctor Who Theatre". Report in Starlog 25 | |
Dec. 1, 1979 | Los Angeles | California | Continental Hyatt House | Gallifreyan Irregulars | Tom Baker, Graham Williams, Terrance Dicks, Gerry Davis, Don Gallacher (music producer of Mankind's disco version of the theme-tune) | Baker and Williams showed up at the eleventh hour; the studio sessions for Shada had been cancelled and they had nothing else to do that weekend. Video room included The Daemons and Nightmare of Eden 1. Extensive con report and interview with Baker in Starlog 34. Interview with Dicks in Starlog 37. |
Mar. 1-2, 1980 | Los Angeles | California | Hyatt Regency | Who 1 (Gallifreyan Irregulars) | Ian Marter, Elisabeth Sladen | Report and interviews in Starlog 42 |
Aug. 14-16, 1981 | Tulsa | Oklahoma | Camelot Hotel | Panopticon West | Davison had finished recording Kinda the day before. Guests are only there on the 16th, due to an air-traffic controllers strike that delayed their flight. Videos shown include The Edge of Destruction, The Rescue, An Unearthly Child 1. Interviews with JNT and Davison in Fantastic Films 28, Fantasy Empire 4, and Davison in Starlog 62, article in Tulsa World | |
Feb/Mar?, 1982 | Gainesville | Florida | University of Florida | John Nathan-Turner | Nathan-Turner showed tapes of Peter Davison stories (We're not exactly sure when this event was; it would have likely been soon after season 19 had wrapped (8 Feb 1982) and before rehearsals for season 20 had commenced (on 30 March 1982). (OmniCon III was held in Fort Lauderdale from 5-7 Feb; if JNT was in the US for that, the visit to Gainesville may have been as a side-trip.) | |
July 16-18, 1982 | Chicago | Illinois | Americana Congress | Panopticon West II | John Nathan-Turner, Sarah Sutton, |
Also known as "Sweatcon". There were between 3,000 and 6,000 attendees each day, and no air-conditioning! Recording on Arc of Infinity had just been completed; Nathan-Turner announced the pre-sale to the US of 78 Peter Davison episodes (i.e. three seasons worth). It was while at this event that Nathan-Turner sounded out Nation for permission to do a Dalek story to close the 20th season. The KRMA documentary Once Upon a Time Lord was filmed. Season 19 shown in video room. Reports in DWM 76 and Fantasy Empire 6. Preview in the Chicago Tribune |
Aug. 21-22, 1982 | New Orleans | Louisiana | Terrance Dicks | On the morning of 22 August, Dicks was woken by a telephone call from script editor Eric Saward asking him to write The Five Doctors | ||
Sept. 18-19, 1982 | Denver | Colorado | Star Con-Denver VI | John Nathan-Turner | It was while at this convention, that Doctor Who Fan Club of America president, Ron Katz, established an "agreement" with John Nathan-Turner for the club to sell "unofficial" DWFCA merchandise. Castrovalva and Earthshock were shown. | |
Oct. 23, 1982 | Fort Lauderdale | Florida | Oceanside Holiday Inn? | Galaxy Party (Omnicon) | Jon Pertwee (first U.S. con) | Report and photos in Fantasy Empire 6. |
Nov. 21, 1982 | Denver | Colorado | Mammoth Gardens | Whovian Festival II (aka Colorado Whovian Festival) | Sarah Sutton, Anthony Ainley | This was the first event run by the newly-formed Doctor Who Fan Club of America (DWFCA). Whovian Festival I (June 5, 1982) was a local gathering with no celebrity guests. |
Feb. 4-6, 1983 | Fort Lauderdale | Florida | Oceanside Holiday Inn | Omnicon IV | Peter Davison, Sandra Dickinson, John Nathan-Turner, Judson Scott (Star Trek / The Phoenix), Nicholas Courtney (?) , John McElroy (DWAS) | DW and Star Trek. Davison - who wore his Doctor's costume - had just completed recording Enlightenment. Courtney often talks of his first-ever US convention where he encountered lots of female fans dressed as the Brigadier. (In his autobiography, "Still Getting Away With It" (2005), Courtney says his first US con was at the Holiday Inn in Fort Lauderdale, in 1982 - soon after he'd finished Mawdryn Undead. Since the only Fort Lauderdale convention we know of in 1982 was Omnicon, held in February, at least six months before Mawdryn Undead, we feel sure Courtney has the year incorrect, and that the year of his first con was 1983, although none of the press stories about the event mention him being there...) Articles in the Galveston Daily News and the Sun-Sentinel. Report in Fantasy Empire 1983 Summer Special. |
Feb. 13, 1983 | Chicago | Illinois | New Fantasy Shop | John Nathan-Turner | More of a signing than a convention, photos of event HERE. Photo in DWM 83. Photos of Nathan-Turner and costumed fans appear in the Radio Times 20th Anniversary Special. | |
Feb. 19-20, 1983 | Chicago | Illinois | New Fantasy Shop | Peter Davison, Sandra Dickinson | More of a signing than a convention; signing sessions ran from noon-2pm, then 4-6pm on the first day, and noon-2pm, 3-5pm on the second. A (delayed) story was run in the 6 May 1983 Daily Herald. Photos in DWM 83, and HERE, and HERE (from the 20th). | |
Mar. 13, 1983 | Gainesville | Florida | UF Carleton Auditorium | Whovian Festival Tour (DWFCA) mini-festival | Ron Katz | Probably no guests. Katz showed two stories: "Ones that haven't aired yet, featuring Peter Davison." Story in the The Sun |
May 27-30, 1983 | San Francisco (Palo Alto) | California | NADWAS | Tom Baker | Baker was interviewed for Doctor Who in America | |
May 28-30, 1983 | Seattle | Washington | Seattle Trade Center | Futurefest 83 | Not sure if any DW guests attended. | |
July 9-10, 1983 | Tampa | Florida | McKay Auditorium | Whovian Festival Tour (DWFCA) | Jon Pertwee, Elisabeth Sladen, John Nathan-Turner | Report in Whovian Times, Oct. 1983. Interview with Sladen in Starlog 77 (conducted sometime during this July visit) |

July 16-17?, 1983 | New York | New York | Beacon Theatre | Whovian Festival Tour (DWFCA) | Jon Pertwee, Elisabeth Sladen, John Nathan-Turner? | Report in Whovian Times, Oct. 1983. NOTE: According to a contemporary fanzine report, Nathan-Turner attended three US cons in six weeks. We know he attended Panopticon West III from 22-24 July and the 20th Anniversary Con in August, so the third con was either before Panopticon or after ComicCon, or between the two. This third con is highly likely to have been this New York event, which was one of many Whovian Festival Tours with Pertwee, Sladen and Nathan-Turner being held at the time. (Nathan-Turner was certainly back in the UK by 19 August 1983, in order to arrange and attend the press conference / photo-shoot announcing Colin Baker as the sixth Doctor.) |
July 16-17, 1983 | Chicago (Rosemont) | Illinois | Sheraton International O'Hare | Creation | Tom Baker | Report in Fantasy Empire Collectors Edition No 1, and photos in DWM 83, and HERE. Tom Baker appeared on local news. |
July 19, 1983 | Philadelphia | Pennsylvania | Walnut Street Theater | Whovian Festival Tour (DWFCA) | Jon Pertwee, Elisabeth Sladen, John Nathan-Turner? | Report in Whovian Times, Oct. 1983 |
July 22-24, 1983 | Columbus | Ohio | Quality Inn | Panopticon West III (Prydonian Renegades) | John Nathan-Turner, Anthony Ainley, Fiona Cumming, |
Nathan-Turner was therefore absent for the final day's location filming on The Awakening. Saunders recalls that rumours were circulating at the con that Colin Baker had been cast as the sixth Doctor. Report in Fantasy Empire 12, and interview with Ainley in Starlog 80, and JNT in Starlog 82. Footage shown in The Whovians |

Nathan-Turner brought tapes of season 20 episodes. Reports in DWM 83 and Fantasy Empire 13, and photos HERE |
Aug. 20-21, 1983 | Philadelphia | Pennsylvania | Center Hotel | Creation | John Leeson | Leeson often speaks of the time he was once the sole guest at a convention in Philadelphia, where (in disguise) he participated in a "K9 sound-alike competition" - and lost!

On 28 November, various UK news bulletins, such as BBC 1 News and Newsround reported on the event, one of which was used in the 29 November edition of Video Dispatch in New Zealand. Also on 29 November, Entertainment Tonight reported on the convention. On 3 December, Entertainment This Week ran the same story, but with an edit that omitted the majority of the clips from The Five Doctors. That same edition of ETW aired in New Zealand on 17 December 1983, and in Australia on 8 January 1984. The existing elements of Shada were shown for the first time.

Feb. 23-24, 1985 | Philadelphia (King of Prussia) | Pennsylvania | Valley Forge Convention Center | Whovian Festival Tour (DWFCA) | Colin Baker, John Nathan-Turner | Starting in 1985, the Whovian Festival Tour was renamed Doctor Who Festival (we have retained the old name in this guide for consistency). Attack of the Cybermen, Vengeance on Varos and The Mark of the Rani are shown. Was this the convention when the tape of Shada was stolen?. Presumably the Nathan-Turner and Baker interviews appearing in the NJN documentary Doctor Who's Who's Who (and The Home Whovian video) were recorded at this event.

(This may have been held around the same time as the Tampa Bay Who Fest 1985 (see below), which featured many of the same guests; unless Courtney was actually talking about the Tampa Bay Who Fest, but has attributed it to the wrong location?) | ||
