DR WHO'D WANT THIS!

The Thwaites Empire Theatre has relaunched its online auction page in a renewed bid to raise £100K to replace the leaking roof on the 100 year old venue.  

There's an unusual prize on offer fans of Dr Who at the site http://www.empire100.co.uk/.   

Although unable to regenerate David Tenant, thanks to a partnership with Steve Haines Hyde Fundraisers there's a chance to come face to face with one of the most popular monsters and alients from the programmes associated with the tenth doctor.  

The organisation specialises in walk-about sci-fi characters and work with major charities, in shopping centres and with event organisers.

This is a chance to bid for either an Ood, a Judoon, Santa Robot, Auton or Cyberman to appear at a venue or event at your choice or just to surprise a Dr Who fan you love!

Harriet Roberts is managing the online auction site and gifts, 'We've now been given over 100 centenary birthday presents to auction for our roof fund and I think this one is great fun if you live with someone who's into Dr Who.

Imagine their face to come home to have tea with an Ood or in a bizarre Dr Who twist ... a Cyberman was hiding behind your sofa!'
