Why not come along to the Lit in Egham, Surrey, for an evening of Who entertainment, selfies with Colin the Dalek and sing-a-long to 'Doctor in Distress' - All for less than £7.

There was a point where one of the security team challenged a shoplifter just as we were leaving. The guy turned round to find the guard with my Dalek following close behind, dropped his shopping and ran.
