Denver Comic Con '14 Guest Spotlight: Peter Davison

Written by John Edward Betancourt

One of the best things about a convention, is the wait and mystery that goes into what guests will be attending.  We all have our dream/bucket list of guests we need to see at a con and we do our best to check them off one by one.  But for fans of Doctor Who, the list is slightly different.  For some they have a specific Doctor that they are dying to meet.  

But for others, myself included, I'm just hoping to see as many of them that fate will allow.  I know my chances of seeing Christopher Eccleston at a con are pretty much slim to none and that's okay, because like I said, I want to meet whatever Doctor is good with showing up.  As it turns out, Denver Comic Con is helping me fulfill this wish since today they announced another incredible Doctor Who guest...the Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison!  

Yes that's right, the Doctor that always wore a slice of celery will be arriving in the Mile High City later this year and that's just awesome.  For those unfamiliar with the Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison took over the role from Tom Baker in 1981 and at the time was the youngest man to play the part.  He remained the youngest Doctor until Matt Smith stepped into the TARDIS.  He handed over the role to Colin Baker in 1984 but did not disappear from the Whoniverse, appearing once again with David Tennant, oddly enough his future son-in-law, in a special episode named "Time Crash".  

But what matters most, us Whovians get to meet another legend from the TARDIS in Denver in June, and this just made the wait for Denver Comic Con all the more difficult.
