The Doctor Who Exhibition Blackpool was located at 111 Central Promenade, on the busy Golden Mile, a prime location for visitors. It ran for 11 years until the lease on the building it resided in expired.
It briefly reopened in 2004 to coincide with Series 1, and was steadily updated up until its closure in November 2009. [1]
Notable elements
- Displays were regularly updated with new exhibits as new stories were aired.
- Unlike the Longleat Exhibition, the Blackpool Exhibition also included a display of small scale models of landscapes and spacecrafts. Davros, Daleks, Cybermen and K9 were among regular exhibits.
Promotion
- The Blackpool Exhibition was promoted in continuity announcements at the time, following the programme's broadcasts.
- In 1975, Elizabeth Sladen, Ian Marter and Tom Baker promoted the exhibition with a parade led by Baker in the back of Bessie with the Mayoress and a UNIT driver. The parade also included a Zygon, Bellal, Sontaran, Sea Devil and Cyberman, and led to the switching on of Blackpool's illuminations.
- In 1976, Tom Baker especially filmed a small skit for the exhibition as the Fourth Doctor.
- In 1985, Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant were present signing autographs in the console area for Children in Need.
