At eight years old, Bob Fischer was entranced by Daleks, Vogons and Imperial Stormtroopers.

Almost three decades later, Bob decided to rekindle the affair with a tour of the UK's sci-fi and cult TV conventions. Freewheeling from Doctor Who to Discworld, Star Wars to Star Trek and Robin of Sherwood to Red Dwarf, he combined misty-eyed memories with a terrifying travelogue of terrible, torturous... terror. Or something.

In space, no one can hear you scream. And don't expect much sympathy in Peterborough, either.
