Which sonics look, sound and feel the best? Our panel will discuss the many versions of the sonic screwdriver, and come up with our own ideas of what the best version might be.

Like, what are they all waiting for? So many alien races and villains have tried to invade Earth over the years… and yet, they’re foiled time and time again. But only sometimes by the Doctor. What happens when our favorite Time Lord is nowhere to be found? Is UNIT stronger than we realize? Are there other heroes defending our homeworld, or are these monsters just terrible at alien invasions in general? We’ll discuss what’s keeping all the bad stuff in the universe at bay when the Doctor’s back is turned.

Death and, more importantly, regeneration is an ongoing theme: we see Doctors ready for change, unhappy to let go, or even outright resistant to what comes next. This panel will discuss the coming of regeneration for each incarnation of our favorite Time Lord, how they cope with it, and the differences between each portrayal… and how that bodes for their next persona.

Although the Virgin and BBC Doctor Who novels are long out of print, and the Big Finish audio stories accessible only through purchase, the many characters and situations they introduced persist to this day. The adventures of Benny Summerfield, Chris and Roz, Charley and C’rizz, Fitz Kreiner, Erimem and Evelyn Smythe, amongst many others, are as important to Who mythology as the show itself. We’ll explore the various pathways these off-screen adventures have taken, how they fit into the larger narrative, and why fans keep going back to them.

Classic Who Cosplay 101
Friday February 14, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PST
The original “classic” Doctor Who remains a very popular inspiration for cosplayers… even if many of the materials used to make the original were specific or aren’t even made any more, and fashions may have changed in the intervening years. We will cover some weirder builds and props, how to source unusual patterns or types of materials, some pros and cons of these materials, and discuss how important true screen accuracy is when creating items with these limited or different resources.

There’s a lot of neurodivergence in science fiction fandom, including Doctor Who fandom; it’s a welcoming space for everyone, including people on the spectrum, or who function more easily online or in small groups. That fact has also bred a great deal of creativity, in art, costuming, writing and much more. We’ll talk about how welcoming our fan spaces are to neurodivergent people, and how far we have yet to travel.

Recreate! Animate! Exterminate!
Saturday February 15, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am PST
While some classic Doctor Who stories have been restored via animation – much of which remains quite controversial – many stories remain fully missing. While audios have been released for the missing ones, fans have recently taken it upon themselves to restore episodes, some using AI, others (such as “Mission to the Unknown”) completely restaged with new actors. This panel will discuss restoration of classic Who, the pros and cons, where we are headed, and how much is left before everything is watchable again.

Past Perfect: The Fan Days of Yesteryear
Saturday February 15, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PST
It’s easy to forget these days that the community of Doctor Who viewers and fans in America was a completely different experience a few decades ago. From public television pledge breaks to choppy VHS recordings traded amongst eager fans; from omnibus editions of classic Who serials to haunting the local bookstore for Target novelizations; and from fan gatherings to convention video rooms… the 1970s, 80s and 90s were an altogether different time to be a Who fan. We’ll discuss our favorite memories of those Doctor Who yesteryears.

We’ll apply our knowledge of music theory as well as the genre of musicals to help break down and discuss not only “The Devil’s Chord,” but the entire season as well, including a look at this season in the context of one of our most popular topics from years past: the role that characters with musical aptitude play in the narrative.

Saturday February 15, 2025 12:00pm - 1:00pm PST
Steven Ricks has been a regular fixture at Gallifrey One conventions since 2012. His work in making high quality replica Doctor Who costumes soon got noticed by Robert Allsopp, a prop and costume maker for the show since the 1980s; after collaborating on a number of small projects, Steve found himself working on Oscar winning films, but this was nothing when it came to making for his beloved show on series 12 and 13. Hear his story from the inside and discover what it’s like to turn a dream into a reality!

We’ll take a deep dive into the history of Who representation, how various characters have been treated at different times, both throughout history as well as in the context of the series itself.

The Myths and Legends of Gallifrey

Though the Doctor left it behind in ages past, and seldom returns unless it’s absolutely necessary, it is no surprise that Gallifrey itself remains a vital and powerful part of Doctor Who mythology. From stories such as “The War Games,” “The Deadly Assassin” and “Hell Bent,” to continuing adventures on audio from Big Finish Productions, we’ll take a look at why the planet Gallifrey and its society is such a unique and important part of the show’s ongoing story.

Short Seasons, Long Waits
Saturday February 15, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PST
No one likes waiting two years (or longer) for a season of television when we’re passionate about the show (a problem even Doctor Who has faced of late.) But there are reasons that a dozen episodes of TV take much longer to produce today than the 26-episode seasons we enjoyed a few decades back. We’ll talk about the ever-increasing production schedules, why we should continue to expect the delays… and even how best to cope with the long wait.

Doctor Who returned in 2024 with an all-new cast and crew, taking us across vast distances in space and time. We’ll look back at the past season of the show, including Series 14 and the following Christmas special, and discuss what worked (and what didn’t), the newest Doctor and his companions and guest characters, the stories and adventures, and where it might all be heading for into Series 15.

But where do we draw the line? And how do we live and let live, when it comes to the creative works that inspire us? We’ll have a frank and honest discussion about defining the boundaries between the work and its creators.

What actors might have taken on the role of the Doctor and their companions, going all the way back to 1963? Would the show have been cancelled or found success in the American TV landscape? And just how different would this show look like if it had been born across the pond? We’ll come up with fun combinations as we explore what kind of effect it could have on American TV.

Drawing the Line: AI and the Creative Process
Sunday February 16, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PST
It’s a major topic on everyone’s minds today… when is artificial intelligence acceptable to use in assisting creative work, and where should we draw the line? Is AI an inevitable partner in the creative process, or is it tantamount to theft of other people’s material? And how do we achieve a happy medium?

Love Letters to Passionate Who Fans
Sunday February 16, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm PST
’s the most passionate of fans who only made fandom spaces so popular: they also in many ways saved the show we all love so much. We’ll dive into many examples of this – from the fans who recorded early episodes on audio tape or took “telesnaps” off air for future reference, to fans who made it their mission to save the show from cancellation (“Doctor in Distress,” anyone?), and fans who even became professionals to make the show again, in TV movie, audio and eventually episodic television form – to determine just how much we owe them for what we view today.
