One of the many highlights of being at MCM Comic Con Scotland last weekend was the pleasure of meeting Doctor Who companion, Sophie Aldred, along with so many other brilliant Doctor Who cosplayers. Sophie very kindly posed for a photo with everybody dressed up from the show and our behind the scenes filmmaker Ellie Hughes caught the moment on camera.

We’re going to be releasing a special Comic Con DVD in a couple of months with highlights of our experiences at Scifi Wales and MCM Comic Con Scotland. You can pre-order it on our Merchandise page!
