This community is all about Cult TV - a yearly festival that celebrates all things related to well loved telly, ranging from Angel to Z-Cars. Conventions can be fun - but Cult TV adds another dimension in providing attendees a chance to see what it's like behind the scenes by participating in workshops and activities - in the past, these have included directing, writing (in various forms) and stage combat techniques...
...added to that there is the fun and games that take place during the weekend - Cult TV also brings a whole new twist on gameshows presented by our very own production team - for example Play Your Cards Right featuring Dr Who assistants as opposed to conventional playing cards.
And proceeds all go to charity - this year's charity is the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund.

And here's a bit more about about the festival itself...
Running across 72 hours, from noon Friday until noon Monday, the 14th Annual Cult TV Weekender brings together interviews with celebrity guests from both sides of the camera, television production workshops, a fun "fanstrand", autograph sessions, memorabilia traders, charity auctions, a star cabaret, themed parties, discussion groups and debates, quizzes and competitions, and the 14th annual international Cult TV Awards. The event is kept to a manageable size by limiting our maximum number of attendees to 500, so you will not feel like you've entered a cattle market!
Celebrating cult fictional television, old and new, from a multitude of genres, the Cult TV Weekender may on the surface look similar to numerous media conventions staged around the country, but we are about far more than just autographs and merchandise. The experience helps you find out more about the various TV series that endure, the shows that people love to see again, and discovering new television treats that to some are previously unheard of. We'll help you take control of your telly, and you'll never have to complain that there's nothing "on the box" ever again!
With celebrity interviews, workshops, quizzes, games, and screenings all running concurrently, at the Cult TV Weekender there is a wider range of activities scheduled over a longer length of time. Run by unpaid volunteers, over the past 13 years Cult TV has raised over £48,000 for various good causes.
