Doctors in the house

Sylvester McCoy is getting the Tardis ready.

If you've always wanted to ask Doctor Who about the secrets of time travel, or whether he had nightmares about being exterminated, now's your chance. A stage show featuring actors from the cult series is on its way - presumably by Tardis - to New Zealand.

Doctor Who - Inside the Tardis will feature Colin Baker (who played Doctor Who from 1984 to 1986), Sylvester McCoy (1987 to 1996) and Katy Manning (who played assistant Jo Grant), who promise to spill the beans on what it was like behind the scenes of the hit series.

Aussie comedian Tim Ferguson will host Doctor Who - Inside the Tardis, where the audience can ask questions. The show is at the Westpac St James in Wellington on August 5 and at the Civic, Auckland, on August 6. Bookings at Ticketek.

Next month, Prime will screen the remake of Doctor Who starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper.
