Sucky news sucks.

From the DWF as stated by the Gallifrey One organizer.

No Doctors this year, sorry... there are only four that do conventions, and we've had all of them in the past 5 years (just had Colin and Sylv in the past two). Probably for 2010...

We will still likely be announcing one or two additional DW/Torchwood related guests, as well as some other locals. We're actually shying away from the local signing actors this year (barring a small handful) because we've done that, and they appear at every autograph convention; instead, we're focusing more on local creative talent like writers and illustrators. Unfortunately, we're also running out of room with all the programming we're doing, so there won't be that many more...

That makes me very, very, very, very sad. But there you go.

My thoughts exactly. But if Nick Courtney or Frazer is still a possibility it's not all bad. S/he DID say they are hoping to announce a few more guests.

True, true. Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for that. Kind of a bummer though. Since it's the 20th GO, you'd think it'd be... I dunno, a little celebration or something big. But, you know, not having a Doctor makes it MORE likely they might get Frazer or Debbie or Nick or something. As much as I'd love to meet Paul or Peter, etc., I'd be thrilled with a whole Troughton era thing. I wonder if they'd try to avoid that though. Like, Troughton fans will come for Wendy already, so they'd try to get another era companion to draw... fans of other Doctors. Sigh.
