If you hate seeing the doctor, perhaps you should consider seeing Mark Strickson instead.

The TV producer and actor, best known for his role as Vislor Turlough in Doctor Who, is set to be a special guest at this week's pop culture expo.

Held at the Edgar Centre, the charity event is to raise funds for Heart Kids Otago, and covers everything from science fiction to anime and cosplay.
