DOCTOR WHO GUESTS:
JANET FIELDING is best known to Doctor Who fans for playing Tegan Jovanka, companion to the Fourth and Fifth Doctors, from 1981 to 1984. Her first season with Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor has just been released on Blu-Ray, and later this year you can watch her debut story—Tom Baker’s finale, “Logopolis”—also on Blu-Ray. She starred in numerous Doctor Who classics like “Earthshock”, “The Visitation”, “Arc of Infinity”, “Enlightenment” and “Resurrection of the Daleks.” She was on hand for the show’s 20th Anniversary in “The Five Doctors” and turned in brilliant performances in “Kinda” and “Snakedance.” She has revisited Tegan in numerous Big Finish original Doctor Who stories. She was born in Brisbane, Australia and had originally planned to become a journalist. After moving to England to break into acting, she found roles in Hammer House of Horror, Minder, Shelley, Blind Justice, Parnell and the Englishwoman, and others. In 1991 she became the administrator of Women in Film and Television UK, an organization dedicated to advancing professional development and achievement for women working in all areas of film, video, and other screen-based media. She became an actors’ agent, and in fact represented Paul McGann when he took on the role of the Eighth Doctor in 1996. She is currently the Project Coordinator for Project MotorHouse, a charity based in Ramsgate which aims to modernize the old motor museum into a multi-use venue featuring offices, bars, a restaurant, a café and cinemas, where local youths will have a chance to learn from successful businesses. She organized two Doctor Who events as fundraisers for Project MotorHouse, with appearances by many of the Doctors, including Peter Capaldi.
EDWARD RUSSELL was Brand Manager on Doctor Who from 2006 until 2017, working across not only the commercial side of the series, but all the marketing, press and photography. Basically, if you watched it, read it, listened to it or collected it, he gave the official stamp of approval on it. As the main point of contact for Publishing, Licensing, Digital, Sales, and Events, there’s almost nothing with the name Doctor Who on it that he wasn’t involved in. He began his career working in music publishing. He joined the BBC in 2000 to manage their online content for Top of the Pops and TOTP2. He stepped into the role of Doctor Who Brand Manager as the show was entering its second series. His era included three Doctors, two showrunners and, of course, the 50th anniversary in 2013, managing the show’s production, promotion, and commercial activities. Having left the BBC in 2017, he’s currently a project producer for Tiny Rebel Games, creators of the mobile game Doctor Who: Legacy.

Throughout the 70s and 80s he was commissioned by radio producers to compose songs on any given subject. “‘I don’t want it good,’ they would say, ‘I want it next Thursday, and I want it exactly two minutes and fifteen seconds long’.” In 1978 he wrote songs for the radio show That Was the West That Was, which won a Best Comedy Script award and was nominated for Best Comedy Show of the Year. In 1984 he was the Program Associate of the hit show Telly Addicts. He worked on the entire run of that show, from the development of its pilot in 1984 to the final episode in 1998.

PIXELWHO: PixelWho is comprised of two team members: Nathan Skreslet who is the Artist behind PixelWho, and Ly Cao who is the Manager and PR. Nathan has been a professional graphic designer for nearly 20 years; with experience in graphic, concept, and commercial design. He has done book 
cover designs for several Doctor Who short fiction anthologies and book cover work for several episode and merchandise guides, as well as a series of novellas published by Telos books. He has also contributed both writing and artwork to several Doctor Who anthologies. He is currently a graphic designer based in Richmond, Virginia. PixelWho started in late 2010 as an original art project. Nathan, a fan of Doctor Who since age 8, has always wanted to document every character that has appeared in his beloved show. He combined this idea with his love for nostalgic 80s video game graphics, resulting in a series of limited edition pixelated 8-bit style art prints. The goal is to document every major and incidental character in story order from every Doctor as a way to celebrate the creativity and dedication of all the artists who have worked on the program over the past 55+ years. He has completed limited edition prints for the 1st (Hartnell), 4th (T. Baker), 8th (McGann), 9th (Eccleston), 10th (Tennant), and 11th (Smith) Doctor series/movie runs. He is working on completing all the Doctors. PixelWho has been written about in the official BBC Doctor Who newsletter and website, CNet, Kotaku, Gallifrey Times, Kasterborous, etc. He has also started expanding into other beloved fandoms and now has an array of pixelated geeky artwork that encompasses the world of Harry Potter, Firefly, Star Wars, and MCU. In addition, PixelWho teamed up with the creative minds behind “Doctor Who: Legacy”, the popular and official BBC game. PixelWho provided pixelated backgrounds, characters, and art designs for a special multi-level storyline called “Bigger on the Inside”; with game chapters written by premiere authors of the Doctor Who world. The storyline revolved around his signature pixelated art style, and this special collaboration resulted in PixelWho artwork becoming official Doctor Who canon.

JOSHUA WILSON is an associate editor for Mad Norwegian Press, a publisher of Doctor Who reference guides including the celebrated About Time series, Running Through Corridors and AHistory. Mad Norwegian also has a range of essay books pertaining to women and fandom, including the Hugo-nominated Chicks Dig Time Lords, Whedonistas! and Chicks Dig Comics. Appropriately, Wilson met future Mad Norwegian Editor-in-Chief Lars Pearson during a Doctor Who trivia match in 1998 (Lars won, battered and bruised, after a fierce battle of wills) which led to a consultation on I, Who, Mad Norwegian’s first reference guide on Doctor Who and a position as an associate editor.
Wilson also co-hosts the popular Doctor Who podcast, The Oncoming Storm, which focuses on Doctor Who spinoff media. Along with his other hosts (including WHOlanta Doctor Who track director Ashley Raburn and WHOlanta panelist Rachel Stewart), Josh spends each episode looking at the best (and sometimes worst) books, audios, and comics featuring the Doctor.
Josh is an Atlanta native whose wife and two children are loving enough, somehow, to put up with all of his Doctor Who nonsense, although he secretly indoctrinated both kids into Doctor Who fanatics, much to the chagrin of his wife.

Lt. MOXIE MAGNUS is a shimmering, glowing star in the firmament of the United Federation of Planets. Through space age sling-shot technology, this seven and a half foot tall glamazon (mostly hair and heels) has come rocketing back to us from the future, dragging some laughs with her along the way! In the 23rd century, she serves as the Chief Cosmetology Officer aboard the USS Enterprise under the command of James T. Kirk. There, she navigates the world of serially dating redshirts and keeping the fleet in regulation bouffants. Here, in the 21st century, she writes about her adventures, with tongue firmly placed in cheek, in her blog, Moxie Magnus: Star Trek Cosmetologist. Her mission is to tackle each of the episodes of the original series with her own brand of space humor! Moxie was born in space, grew up a human slave in the Orion Syndicate and walked the runways of Paris before graduating top of her class at Starfleet Academy. She is the only cadet in history to pass the Kobayashi Hairdo, the no-win Starfleet master xenocosmetology exit exam (and she didn’t cheat). Her thesis, “Zero-G Styling Technology: Captain, We Have Lift-off”, is still recognized as the seminal work in its field. Although she has often been told “In space, no one can hear you, queen”, that hasn’t stopped her from entertaining fans and the fleet both in and out of this world. She’s even gotten a few laughs from the Vulcan High Council. In her spare time, this dedicated Star Trek drag queen enjoys cataloging unicorn species, looking at pictures of cats on the internet and trying out new replicated food cube recipes. Her favorite movies are Beach Blanket Bingo, Gidget and Pon Far Surf Party.

THE KEN SPIVEY BAND: Time Lord Rock Meets The Wizarding World! The NPR and MTV.com praised Ken Spivey Band combines mad Celtic energy with raw punk mayhem, while beguiling audiences with gypsy charm. KEN SPIVEY has expanded his Renaissance act into the science fiction/fantasy world by performing his critic and fan acclaimed original music based on the long-running British science fiction series, Doctor Who. Beginning in 2015, Ken Spivey has begun to draw more inspiration from The Wizarding Worlds, as well as other realms of fantasy. Ken also began to introduce new musical elements into his band’s already diverse sound…Raga Rock, the music of the Middle East, 1990’s Grunge, as well as further exploring the genres of Celtic Drinking Music and Punkish Pop Rock. Due to his over twenty years of stage experience, his music’s unique and diverse songwriting style, Ken’s fan approachability, coupled with his extensive knowledge of all things Whovian (as well as many other subjects in related genre, sci-fi or fantasy universes)…Ken has become one of the most requested musicians and guests at many of the nation’s premier conventions. In addition, Ken has sat on or led numerous science fiction & Fantasy related panels at conventions all over the southeastern US. He often draws from his academic background in Gender Theory, Sexuality, and Romantic Relationships in the Ancient and Modern World when speaking upon various topics. AUDRY SPIVEY further explored her passion of music through the art of dance after years of vocal and classical music training. Her journey led her from Egyptian, Oriental, folkloric and fusion styles. Audrey’s voice brings a sultry quality to the band which perfectly match her beguiling, dance-inspired stage presence. In addition to singing, Audrey also performs on keyboard, synth, zills, and various forms of percussion.
