Last night I was lucky enough to attend the sold out Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular!
As I entered the hall the place was packed out. A sold out show with 5,000 people in attendance.
It was crazy trying to get around the place.
A Cyberman was posing for photos and there were cardboard cut-outs spread throughout the hall for photos.
I made my way to the other end of the hall for the pre-purchased merchandise packs collection.
There was a choice of 2 designs of t-shirts, the blue one was of the promo shot of the symphony the grey was of a propaganda type design of the tardis.
I chose the grey. I then headed to the canteen and got a bottle of lightly sparkling mineral water with lime and headed upstairs to my seat.
View shot from my seat.
5,000 people packed out the plenary.
Peter Davidson (the 5th Doctor) hosted the evening, with special recorded appearances from Tom Baker (the 4th Doctor).
Monsters in attendance were the Vampires, Cybermen, Ood, Silence, The Great Intelligence, The Silurian soldiers, and of course the Daleks. The supreme Dalek took the stage while a strategist and a drone wandered around keeping sight of the audience.
The Queen of Years made an appearance and with the help of a Akhaten monk to sing the duet.
The Crack in Time even showed towards the very end.
The whole thing lasted around 2.5 hours and time just seemed to fly.
Then it was time to head home.
The show is now headed to Brisbane (QLD) then onto Wellington (New Zealand)
