She's boldly going to help organise sci-fi convention<br />
<br />
<br />
STAR TREK enthusiast Tina Bailey is planning to boldly go - by organising a cult TV convention. <br />
<br />
Tina, who lives in Burntwood, has got together with a group of friends to organise a massive convention for fans of sci-fi programmes and other 'cult' series. <br />
<br />
She's hoping that guests will include Jon Pertwee, famed for his roles as Dr Who and Worzel Gummidge; writer Harlan Ellison, who has produced scripts for dozens of shows, including 'Star Trek', 'The Man from Uncle', and 'The Twilight Zone', and Sylvia Anderson, co-creator of 'Thunderbirds'.<br />
<br />
Character <br />
<br />
According to Tina there's more to cult TV conventions than dressing up. "Some people do come along dressed as their favourite character - but that's not what it's all about." she explained.<br />
<br />
"It gives fans a chance to meet and chat, but many of the people who come along are interested in working in television, perhaps by getting involved in writing or producing. <br />
<br />
"Conventions give them the opportunity to talk to people who are actually working in TV. to find out how things are done, and to take a close look at archive material, as well as watching up to date programmes." <br />
<br />
Tina, who has just gained a psychology degree from Nottingham University, is certainly pretty knowledgeable about television - and is due to appear on the popular 'Telly Addicts' quiz show next month. <br />
<br />
She will be competing with a group of friends all dressed as characters from 'Star Trek.' <br />
<br />
The convention takes place at Pontins Seacroft Holiday Village, Hemsby, near Great Yarmouth on Friday 11 to Monday 14 November.<br />
