THERE was no chance that the 25th anniversary of "Dr Who" would go unnoticed in Blackpool. Devoted members of "Enlightenment" - the resort's telefantasy group -made sure of that.
They turned their November meeting into an all-day homage to the 900-year-old Time Lord screening episodes of all seven Tardis key holders, holding a 25 years of "Who" quiz and going out for a celebratory meal before rounding off the occasion with a firework display.
The group formed to give local fans somewhere to go after the closure of Blackpool's "Dr Who" exhibition in 1986.
Millions of "Whovians" all over the world have been expressing their delight at the longevity of the charming BBC show which started on November 23, 1963, when the nation was still reeling from the assassination of President John F Kennedy earlier in the day.
A special party was held at the BBC yesterday at which station bosses delighted at improved ratings gave the go-ahead for another series next year.
Outgoing producer John Nathan- Turner said, "Dr Who is a man travelling in time and space fighting evil, so from a purely historical point of view we could run for 2,000 years." Yesterday, a "Dr Who 25 years" exhibition opened in Southwark, South London.
There is another chance to revel in the magic of science fiction when the Enlighteners meet again on the top floor of the Strand Restaurant at 2pm on Saturday, December 10, for a meeting with a seasonal feel.
