DR Who’s arch-enemy is heading to the region – in the company one of the Time Lord’s closest allies.

Davros and Ace, in the form of actors Terry Molloy and Sophie Aldred, will be taking part in the Sci Fi Scarborough convention at the resort’s Spa Complex in March.

Terry Molloy was the third actor to play the mad scientist Davros, the creator of the Daleks, in the long-running show, taking the role from 1984 to 1988.

Sophie played the feisty Ace from 1987 to 1989 in the last nine stories of the programme's original run.

The convention, on March 14 and 15, will also feature a host of other performer and production team members from films and shows as diverse as Star Wars and Thunderbirds.
