Biography: We are really excited to be announcing our first guest signer for Capital Sci fi Con 2020.
Everyone please give a warm Capital Sci fi welcome to: Colin Baker.
Colin Baker's career as an actor spans six decades of television and theatre. To many Colin is "Paul Merroney" from the BBC's much-loved 1970s drama The Brothers. To others he is the unhinged "Bayban the Butcher" in Blake's 7, or "Inspector Morse" on stage. Or perhaps some know him best simply as Colin Baker himself, the man who entered the jungle and won over the nation in I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.
Many millions though know him best as the colourfully-dressed Sixth Doctor in Doctor Who, a character that has endured - and will continue to endure - through generations.
A tempestuous, passionate traveller of time and space.
His appearance as a psychotic space-criminal in Blake's 7 story: City at the Edge of the World is one of the most regarded guest spots in the popular BBC Sci-Fi hit.
Colin has also found different audiences with his appearance in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2012, as well as becoming a familiar personality in shows such as Come Dine With Me, and Celebrity Antiques Road Show.
Colin will be taking part in all aspects across the weekend, Panel Talks and Photo shoots. Then join Colin at Meal with the Stars on Saturday evening for a night of fine dining and entertainment.
We look forward to seeing you all on the 14th-16th February 2020!
