Unit Day at The Who Shop London

SAT 28th February 1-3pm.

39-41 Barking Road, Upton Park
London, United Kingdom

We are delighted to announce that to celebrate the launch of new book series ‘Lethbridge-Stewart’ we will be joined by Terrance Dicks (Script Writer), Andy (author and range editor of Lethbridge-Stewart) and Hannah Haisman (Granddaughter of Mervyn Haisman, creator of Lethbridge-Stewart).

Other writers and those associated with the new range will also be popping in throughout the day.

Brigadier Sir Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart has been an essential element of Doctor Who since 1968. He was created by authors Mervyn Haisman & Henry Lincoln for the six-part Doctor Who serial, The Web of Fear. A one-off character. Until over a year later when he was brought back to Doctor Who, promoted to Brigadier and the head of UNIT.

Forty-six years on and the Brigadier has become one of the most iconic characters in Doctor Who, having appeared with ten different Doctors in countless TV episodes, books, audio dramas and comic strips! The character’s death was acknowledged in the 2012 Doctor Who series starring Matt Smith, and was resurrected briefly in the 2014 series finale starring Peter Capaldi.

On TV the character’s story is over, but there is so much more to tell.

All books and photographs can be pre-ordered in store, online or over the phone.
