MCM Birmingham Comic Con is set to deliver a standout moment for Doctor Who fans this November, with four legendary Doctors—Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, Paul McGann, and Peter Davison—appearing together on stage. The UK’s biggest celebration of pop culture returns to the NEC Birmingham from 28–30 November 2025, bringing a weekend packed with sci-fi nostalgia, celebrity guests, panels, and family-friendly fun.
The four stars of the iconic BBC sci-fi series will reunite for a special panel exploring their time on Doctor Who, behind-the-scenes stories, and the lasting cultural impact of a show that has shaped British television for generations.
@mcmcomiccon Three weeks to go! What’s top of your list to see at MCM Birmingham? 💙
Meet the Doctors In-Person
Visitors will also have multiple opportunities to meet the cast:
-
Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, and Peter Davison will appear across all three days for photos and autographs.
-
Colin Baker will be available on Saturday and Sunday only.
It’s a rare chance for Whovians to meet several generations of the Time Lord in one weekend.
A Look Back at Their Era-Defining Tenures
Each of the featured actors helped define Doctor Who across decades:
-
Peter Davison became the Fifth Doctor in 1982, starring for three seasons before regenerating into Colin Baker.
-
Colin Baker portrayed the Sixth Doctor from 1984, bringing a bold and theatrical energy to the role.
-
Sylvester McCoy took on the mantle in 1987 as the Seventh Doctor, giving the series a darker and more mysterious tone.
-
Paul McGann starred as the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 TV movie—the final Doctor before the series’ 2005 revival.
All four later reunited in the 2022 special The Power of the Doctor, marking the conclusion of Jodie Whittaker’s run as the Thirteenth Doctor.
More Than Just Doctor Who
The Doctors join a growing roster of guests from anime, gaming, film, and television at MCM Birmingham Comic Con 2025.
