In our first of several new guest updates expected over the next few weeks, we’re thrilled to announce that Anita Dobson will be joining us for our 2026 convention, The 36 Legends of Gallifrey One: Stories Untold.
Anita Dobson is a celebrated British actress and singer, best known to Doctor Who audiences as the character Mrs. Flood, the mysterious character who first appeared in “The Church on Ruby Road” and who has appeared in both of the first two seasons starring Ncuti Gatwa. UK audiences know her primarily for the role of Angie Watts in the long-running BBC soap EastEnders, and she has also appeared in Split Ends, Red Dwarf, Casualty, Gigglebiz, Call the Midwife, Generation Z, Curfew, The Worst Witch, Doctors, Play Away, Darkness Falls and London Road, among many others. She has also appeared on stage in Chicago, Gertrude in Hamlet and The Merry Wives of Windsor, and was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best Actress in the stage play Frozen. Also known as Lady May, she is married to musician and physicist Sir Brian May.
Ms. Dobson will be appearing at Gallifrey One 2026 on our stage on Saturday and Sunday, in an appearance courtesy Showmasters Events. In addition, she will also be participating in a VIP script reading session on Sunday morning, and guest receptions on both Friday & Saturday evenings (each available for an additional charge).
We have many more guests coming soon, so stay tuned!
