Hello all, long overdue introduction

Introductions
1

Hey ho, I’m James (nickname Jomes lol) and I’ve been a member of the site and forum for a long while now, but never properly introduced myself woops.

I’m from Germany, so I haven’t been a Doctor Who fan from the beginning, simply because it was not a thing in Germany. I remember catching an episode on tv in 2005, but the show quickly vanished to obscure channels at impossible airing times, so it took till 2010 when a friend sat me down and we binged Nine and Ten’s episodes together and I’ve been a big fan since. I’ve also been to a convention a couple of years ago and met Matt Smith and a few more actors and I’ve visited the Doctor Who Experience in London and Cardiff.

My other interests in tv shows are mainly Star Trek (how cool would a crossover be???!) but also Hannibal (the tv show).

Hobbies are reading, writing fic, drawing, travelling and good food.

I’m autistic and ace/aro and trans and happy to share experiences.

Incredibly jealous of you there. I know the one in Cardiff is long since gone, but I don’t know if the London one still exists.

Either way, I envy you for getting to go.

Welcome aboard by the way!

I was so sad when I learned the Cardiff one was gone! I have no idea what happened to the London Experience either…

Thank you for your warm welcome!

The London one was gone before the Cardiff one. It was only ever temporary.

Ha, I didn’t even remember that! I can’t even remember which year I’ve seen them :sweat_smile:

I really hope they bring this back one day. Was it closed because its popularity waned?

Here’s a pic of me at the Cardiff Doctor Who Experience, just before it closed, in September 2017.

Oh, and a Whisperman.

I have no idea why it closed. Maybe not enough people visited it :worried:
