Peterborough Changes


Hi all. Back from holiday, and I did manage to make it over to Peterborough whilst I was away (who can resist seeing a Quark?). They sent out an update on the very day I was flying down to London, so that made up my mind to go.
Usual blog business resumes later this week, but for now here's a little update on the exhibition. As well as the Quark they have also added Lord Kiv from Trial of a Time Lord (Parts 5 - 8, aka Mindwarp). This is the green-skinned pre-transplant version.


The other big change since my first visit is that the green Voc Robot has gone, but it has been replaced  by SV7...

And the Argolin wearing the Helmet of Theron has gone. Layout changes have been made to accommodate the new figures - one of which was not for the better, I felt. Last time, you had clear, up close, views of the Dalek Emperor, but they've moved Davros and the Death to the Daleks Dalek in front on it now. The Ogron is also more obscured.


You lose a lot of floor space in front of the Emperor (note where the barrier cord is, bottom right) and don't get as good a view of it now.
The Quark is in between the Ice Warrior and the 1980's Sontaran. The Flux Sontaran has been moved to the display of post-2005 costumes opposite.


One final addition - a prop this time instead of a costume - is a reproduction of the TARDIS console as first introduced in The Masque of Mandragora. It has been placed in the middle of the Time Lord display just as you first enter the exhibition.
