We’re thrilled to announce the return of Louise Jameson and Seán Carlsen to Gallifrey One; both will be joining us at our February 2025 convention, Gallifrey One in 35 Millimetre. This is the first US event for Louise in six years, and the first time both actors have been to Gallifrey One since 2017!
Louise Jameson played Leela, the leather-clad barbarian warrior companion of the Fourth Doctor, on Doctor Who from 1977’s “The Face of Evil” for two seasons until departing in “The Invasion of Time.” She later reprised the role for the anniversary special, “Dimensions in Time,” and later for Big Finish Productions’ continuing series of audio adventures, with a starring role in their audio series Gallifrey and more recently alongside Baker for adventures set during their run on the show. Jameson became well known to UK audiences for starring in Tenko and EastEnders; later appeared in many series such as Bergerac, The Bill, Casualty, Doctors, and The Omega Factor; and recently returned to television as a regular cast member on Emmerdale which continues to this day. She is also very active in British theatre. With her Emmerdale role keeping her constantly busy, we are thrilled to welcome her back for this rare appearance!
Born and bred in South Wales, Seán Carlsen trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. He has worked extensively in theatre, audio drama, television and film. He is best known to Doctor Who fans as the Time Lord Coordinator Narvin, having played the role for twenty years now both in the Big Finish Gallifrey series and their Doctor Who range. Seán also appeared in the TV episode The Christmas Invasion and ever so briefly in Torchwood. His other TV credits include Mudtown (BBCiplayer/S4C), Dal y Mellt (Netflix), All Creatures Great and Small (Channel 5), A Mother’s Love (Channel 4) and Series 5 of Stella (Sky1); film roles include supporting leads in Boudicca – Rise of the Warrior Queen, cult horror The Cleansing and Forgotten Journeys. Last with us in 2017, we are delighted to come Seán back to Gallifrey One.
Both Louise & Seán will be with us all three days of the convention for panels, autographs and photos.
