BBC Worldwide has announced that Gillan will join fellow Doctor Who stars Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill, along with the show’s executive producer, Steven Moffat, at the event, which takes place on 24 and 25 March at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff.

Confirming her appearance at the event, Gillan said: “I’m really looking forward to the convention and meeting all of the wonderful Doctor Who fans!”

The convention will bring together the many stars and makers of Doctor Who for an in-depth event that celebrates the creativity and hard work that go into making the show.

In addition to Q&A sessions with the Doctor Who team, convention attendees can expect prosthetic masterclasses, costume displays and live pyrotechnic demonstrations.

Karen Gillan and Stephen Fry are among the stars who will feature in Sky Arts’ series of programmes celebrating the works of Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward.

The In Love With series, which will air in February and March, will feature stars of stage and screen performing readings of the authors and playwrights’ finest works.

Miriam Margolyes, Simon Callow, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Douglas Booth will pay tribute to Dickens.

Doctor Who’s Gillan – who will tackle the voiceover from Brief Encounter – Patricia Hodge, Celia Imrie, Robert Sheehan and Sheila Hancock will appear in the Noel Coward show.

Fry, Paterson Joseph, Caroline Quentin and Being Human star Russell Tovey will head up the Oscar Wilde tribute.

Sky Arts channel director James Hunt said: “I couldn’t imagine a better cast to celebrate the colourful work of Dickens, Coward and Wilde. The performances are remarkable. This is a fitting tribute to the body of work they celebrate and to the craft of delivering monologue.”

In Love With… Dickens airs on February 21 at 8pm on Sky Arts. The Coward special follows on March 12, while the Wilde tribute airs on March 19.
