Doctor Who Experience - in 3D!!!

I have got an absolute TREAT for you today!

This week I had the opportunity to revisit the Doctor Who Experience in Olympia, and thought rather than just get some more endless photographs of the displays, I would do something EXTRA special.

I know a lot of my readers are in the US, so are unlikely to get the chance to see the exhibition at first-hand.

So what I’ve got for you is the near next-best thing - a walk through the displays - in 3D!!!! Well, one of those panoramic views you can interact with.


Below are the panoramas relating directly to the Third (and earlier) Doctor.
You can see all the panoramas

First up is the line-up of The Doctor’s costumes, giving you a real sense of how they are presented.

Nestle Milk Chocolate Bars - picture 7

Today it’s picture seven of Doctor Who Fights Masterplan “Q” - the 15-part adventure on the backs of the NestlĂ© Doctor Who Milk Chocolate bars.
Unable to trace The Master, they are unaware of his imminent success in his evil Masterplan Q.


Now, at some point during the run of the chocolate bars, Jon Pertwee apparently complained about the likeness - or lack of likeness - in the illustrations accompanying the bars.

Compare this to the version that appears HERE.

As a result the display box was redesigned using a better image of The Doctor.
