| Friday 3rd February 2012 - An evening with Peter Purves AVAILABLE NOW ON DVD! In association with Tenth Planet Events, Whoovers was proud to present 'An Evening With Peter Purves'. Peter is well known to us for playing companion Steven Taylor opposite William Hartnell's first Doctor. However, to the general viewing public, his status as one of the longest-serving presenters of Blue Peter makes him a legend. Others know him as the presenter of Crufts Dog Show, Junior Kick Start or any number of shows in a very long career. This event gave us a rare opportunity to meet Peter, to hear him discuss his varied career and also get an autograph or two! Visit Peter's official website at www.peterpurves.com |

| Friday 7th October 2011 - An evening with David Graham & Shane Rimmer AVAILABLE NOW ON DVD! Both David Graham & Shane Rimmer, appeared in the First Doctor story The Gunfighters. In addition, David provided many a Dalek voice during the 1960s and appeared as Professor Kerensky in City of Death with Tom Baker. Shane has had a wide ranging career, profiting from his status as a UK-based North American (he is Canadian) with roles in any number of TV shows and films, including more Bond films than any other actor, other than those playing recurring characters. However, both men are perhaps even better known for their contributions to the worlds of Gerry Anderson, especially Thunderbirds, in which among other roles, Shane provided the voice of Scott Tracy, and David those of both Parker and Brains.
