Bits and photos that didn’t make it into the February Gallifrey Guardian, suitably captioned: ALL SPOILERS, ALL THE TIME!

Jack Forsyth-Noble was present on the first day of Doctor who Series 14 filming playing a character named Will. Forsyth-Noble had his television debut in Coronation Street in 2021.

Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson were filmed with the TARDIS at Giltar Point on the Coast Path in Pembrokeshire on January 23. The actors wore warm robes over their costumes as they rehearsed. The film crew set up a base at Salterns in Tenby, as filming was expected to extend to January 27. The local paper, the Tenby Observer, ran an article about the filming, including photos.

Love this shot of the TARDIS silhouetted against the sunset. The setting almost looks like a quarry…now I’m feeling nostalgic–you Classic fans know what I mean!

Below are more photos from filming in January. Thank you to all those fans who post on Twitter, and to cultbox.co.uk for bringing it all together.

Final SyFy Bartow Post?

Finally, the post that should have started the whole SyFy Bartow 2023 trilogy! SyFy Bartow is a science-fiction street festival held annually in Bartow, Florida for the past ten years.

This year’s theme was Star Trek. Last year’s event attracted an estimated 30,000 attendees. The festival took over several city blocks downtown on Saturday, February 18, with vendors, fan clubs, food trucks and FANtastically decorated cars.

One of the first tables I saw was staffed by our friends at StoneHill, Anne and her crew, promoting Necronomicon [September 22 – 24 at Embassy suites USF in Tampa – shameless plug by me! jl].

Near them were the Dalek Builders (Florida Brigade), with two impressive full-sized Daleks.

An outdoor stage featured acts like “the Amazing Ralph and his Accordion” and “Klingons Lore Singers of Kag;” an Outer Rim lightsaber demonstration; panels on Pokemon, Star Trek, and cosplay; musicians; and the Miss SyFy Bartow Pageant, Costume Contest, and Awards for Car and Art Show winners. One street was lined with photo ops, mostly with Star Wars backgrounds.

A TARDIS was set up in the intersection at the center of the Car Show, and was the site of many a selfie by Who fans. (No, I don’t know who supplied the TARDIS, but I’m going to do my best to find out!)

You’ve already seen pics of Who fans and merchandise, but here are a couple more shots, followed by links of interest.
