Doctor Who actress Katy Manning is set to appear at Sci-Fi Scarborough 2025.
The actress, known for her role as companion Jo Grant in the television series, is the first guest to be announced for the event, which will take place from Saturday, April 26 to Sunday, April 27 in 2025 at The Spa Complex Scarborough.
Ms Manning began her career in television with Softly Softly, Serendipity, Armchair Theatre, and Target.
She has also performed in theatre at venues including London's West End and the Sydney Opera House - as well as voicing "multiple animated films" and hosting her own chat show.
As Jo Grant, Ms Manning appeared in three seasons of the third Doctor Who era - with one classic scene being the Doctor's driving away in his car, Bessie, after a farewell to Jo.
Returning to the franchise many years later, Ms Manning has now performed alongside Matt Smith and the late Elisabeth Sladen.
She was also seen briefly in the final episode of Jodie Whitaker’s tenure as the Doctor.
Sci-Fi Scarborough will begin at 11am on both the Saturday and Sunday, and finish at 5pm on the Saturday and at 4pm on the Sunday.
