Doctor Who MuseumNewest Review: ... inside than it looks from it's exterior. The entrance leads pretty much straight into a Tardis Mock up which is good, but based on the older Doctor Who programmes. Not Chris Ecclestone & David Tennant's TARDIS. There are loads of exhibits throughout the museum. Some are mockups of villains or props. Some are actual costumes, props or items that were used in the show. Most have notes ... more |

I am writing this review as a fan of Blackpool. I go there for at least one weekend of the year & have done for nearly a decade! So where I'm critical of this, I'm not doing it because I have a downer on Blackpool. The Museum is a homage to all things Doctor Who (although I didn't see anything relating to it's sister shows). It is far bigger inside than it looks from it's exterior. The entrance leads pretty much straight into a Tardis Mock up which is good, but based on the older Doctor Who programmes. Not Chris Ecclestone & David Tennant's TARDIS. There are loads of exhibits throughout the museum. Some are mockups of villains or props. Some are actual ... Read the complete review

For many years now, I've been such a great fan of C21 Doctor Who, and would give all I've got to meet the cast or star in an episode. Unfortunately, I'm not about to tell you I've been granted that privilege. Actually, I've yet to come close! Though at the weekend, I was indeed fortunate enough to go down to Blackpool and see the Doctor Who Exhibition. I left from Newcastle to go down to Blackpool just after seven o' clock in the morning. Although it was quite an early time, and I knew I had a long journey ahead of me. Though, I was too excited to care. By the time we did arrive in Blackpool some three hours later, the wind was howling and the weather was ... Read the complete review

This weekend stunned by the excellent bank holiday weather for the first time in ages we did something else we've not done in ages, and ventured into Blackpool despite the recent on-slaught of tourists. We passed up amusement park fun to venture to the Doctor Who exhibition instead, a quite old set-up a few doors down on the promenade. This has been there for years, but has recently been modernised and is heavily advertised in the local area. The museum has a small, narrow shop front on the prom, but is, quite appropriately, somewhat Tardis-like inside, spreading out over a much bigger area than you'd ever imagine. The entrance way is also the shop and the ... Read the complete review
