One woman called it "a fan's dream come true." Another person said "It takes me back to the Saturday afternoons I experienced as a kid."

What both people were talking about is the DOCTOR WHO CELEBRATION AND TOUR, an afternoon of fun and entertainment for the whole family. The DOCTOR WHO CELEBRATION has been traveling coast to coast drawing huge crowds in support of the television phenomenon DOCTOR WHO. Now, the Network brings the DOCTOR WHO CELEBRATION toWis consin for the first time! The two-year 185-city tour, which began last May it Washington, D.C., will visit Green Bay on Sat., July 11.

The DOCTOR WHO CELEBRATION, the only Doctor Who tour officially sanctioned by the BBC, will provide almost four hours of fun and entertainment, including a Doctor Who exhibit, an appearance by a DOCTOR WHO celebrity, videos, and an autograph-signing session.

DOCTOR WHO fans will get a chance

Visitors enter the exhibition by walking through a TARDIS — The Doctor's time travelling craft which is actually an old English police call box — and can view "Bessie," a magnificent vintage car built for actor Jon Pertwee, the third doctor; a Cyberman; and even K9, the faithful robot dog who accompanies the Doctor on many of his trips.
