MCM Birmingham Comic Con is set to deliver a major moment for Doctor Who fans, as four celebrated Doctors — Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, Paul McGann and Peter Davison — will appear together on stage at the NEC Birmingham from 28–30 November 2025.
The beloved stars of the long-running BBC sci-fi series will join forces for an exclusive panel discussing their time aboard the TARDIS, their behind-the-scenes memories, and the enduring legacy of Doctor Who as a pop-culture staple. Additional details about the panel will be revealed soon via official MCM Comic Con channels.

Meet the Doctors Throughout the Weekend
Alongside the group panel, fans will get multiple chances to meet the actors across the three-day event:
-
Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, and Peter Davison — appearing all weekend for photo ops and autographs
-
Colin Baker — available Saturday and Sunday only
A Look Back at Their Time in the TARDIS
Each of these actors has played a defining role in Doctor Who’s history:
-
Peter Davison became the Fifth Doctor in 1982, passing the sonic screwdriver to Colin Baker’s Sixth Doctor in 1984.
-
Sylvester McCoy later stepped into the role as the Seventh Doctor in 1987.
-
Paul McGann took over as the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 TV movie — the final incarnation before the show’s modern revival in 2005.
All four actors most recently appeared together in 2022’s The Power of the Doctor, the special episode marking the end of Jodie Whittaker’s era as the Thirteenth Doctor.
A Major Weekend for Pop Culture Fans
The four Doctors join a stacked lineup of celebrity guests from anime, gaming, film and TV at MCM Birmingham Comic Con, the UK’s biggest celebration of geek and pop culture. Visitors can enjoy panels, workshops, cosplay showcases, family-friendly activities, and exclusive content throughout the weekend.
The event returns to the NEC Birmingham from 28–30 November 2025.
