Schedule
12:00 - HATTIE HAYRIDGE
Hattie Hayridge is best known for her iconic role as Holly, the ship’s computer, in Series III, IV, and V of the BBC’s cult sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf. Her journey into comedy began in 1988, when she spontaneously tried stand-up at a small North London club. Within a year, she had swapped her secretarial job for the comedy circuit—and quickly gained attention with an appearance on the popular TV show Friday Night Live.
It was there that she caught the eye of the Red Dwarf producers and writers, who invited her to appear in the Series II episode Parallel Universe as “Hilly,” the female counterpart to Norman Lovett’s Holly. After Lovett’s departure, Hattie auditioned for the main role—and the creators knew they’d found their “dumb computer.”
12:40 - SYLVESTER MCCOY & SOPHIE ALDRED
Sylvester McCoy, along with our other guest Sophie Aldred, starred together in Doctor Who during the late 1980s, appearing in an impressive 42 episodes. The duo delighted fans once again when they reprised their iconic roles in 2022.
Having both Sylvester and Sophie at the event promises a truly special photo opportunity that Doctor Who fans won’t want to miss!
13:20 - DAVID BRADLEY + RON WEASLEY LOOKALIKE (LEWIS)
David Bradley is best known for his unforgettable role as Argus Filch in the Harry Potter films (appearing in all but one), David’s career spans an incredible range of film and television. His big-screen credits include Hot Fuzz, The World’s End, and Exorcist: The Beginning.
