The Mat ‘n’ Mike Show

To celebrate 50 years of both the IPMS and a certain television Doctor... , Mike Tucker and Mat Irvine will be presenting their ‘Visual Effects Travelling Road Show’ for both days of Scale Model World at the Telford International Conference Centre, over 9^th and 10^th November.

For Doctor Who’s 50^th Anniversary, Mat and Mike have assembled a collection of effects props and filming miniatures representing all eras of the show; including Daleks, Cybermen, the TARDIS and both incarnations of K-9, (as seen in School Reunion).

But it’s not all Doctor Who. The Show will also feature exhibits from other well remembered BBC science fiction and fantasy shows, including the Liberator and Orac from Blake’s 7, models from Captain Zep, Star Cops and Red Dwarf, plus The Tripods miniatures, anti-Triffid gun, Marvin the Paranoid Android and the rarely-seen Moon buggy from the short-lived series Moonbase 3.

With a combined total of 50 years at the BBC Visual Effects Department, Mat ‘n’ Mike will be talking about their years in visual effects and showing how the props and models are made. Their various books, particularly their co-authored book, ‘BBC VFX’, will be available for sale - with the rare opportunity that both authors are available to sign!
