Let's do the Time Warp again...

So, second night - was it any different? I think it's fair to say not really, just as manic and full of nerves.

Nick Scovell did warn us that it can dip a bit on the second night, owing to the fact that we've had the first performance and this can result in a slight drop off. However, I was just as nervous as before while we waited in the wings ready to go on. That's not a bad thing either, as it helped to keep my performance going. I was reading a text message from a friend, that arrived just as I walked on, during the crowd scene as well!

The dome trick was certainly done differently as well, thanks to the efforts of Ashley Nealfuller who built the Dalek. I would say more, but I don't want to give out any spoilers for those that haven't seen the show yet.

Later today (October 26) I'm going to be meeting one of the mini-convention guests, Peter Labrow from the Dalek Links website, to have a coffee and chat about things ahead of tomorrow's event.

Dalek Spy can reveal that Nick Briggs has kindly offered to be interviewed for this very blog. There will also be another interview with the creative force that is Nick Scovell, this time talking about his role as the Doctor. Both of these should hopefully be shot today and be online towards the end of next week... as they may contain spoilers!

A couple of photos for you taken after the show from the Dress Circle, sorry for the poor quality.
