Dalek coming to Bridgnorth

THE sounds of the Daleks will be adding a chilling note to this year’s Bridgnorth Music and Arts Festival.

Dalek Caan, from the original BBC Dr Who series, is to attend a WH Smiths book signing in Bridgnorth for author Nigel Goodall’s latest biography of David Tennant – one of the most recent Dr Whos.

Now festival organisers are looking for a Dr Who fan who might be able to help with sponsoring this particular event.

Festival spokesperson Simon Golding said: “Cobra Events who own the Dalek offered Caan’s services for free with the festival only having to find travel expenses to and from Brighton for £160 and a night’s accommodation for Caan and his driver.

“Dalek Caan is reported to be very excited about visiting our town and promises not to exterminate any Bridgnorth residents.”

The event forms part of the forthcoming festival, from August 27 until September 5. Anyone wishing to help raise funds for Dalek Caan’s visit is asked to email organiser@bridgnorthmusicfest.com or visit www.bridgnorthmusicfest.com for more information.
