YOUNG Dr Who fan Olly Kay will be making his television debut next week when he's quizzed on his favourite show.
Nine-year-old Olly and his family made the trip to Cardiff on Friday for the filming of children's TV show Totally Dr Who.
Westgate School pupil Olly
pitted his wits against a fellow
Dr Who nut in the 'Who Ru' quiz for the chance to win a signed
photo and goodie bag.
He and his sister Emelia, six, also met several Dr Who actors, including Camille Coduri, who plays Rose Tyler's mum in the series, and Elizabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane).
According to his mum Jenny, Olly's obsession with the
programme started before he was even born.
"He's been a massive fan all his life – his dad used to play the
Dr Who theme tune to my tummy when I was expecting him," she said.
"He knows everything about it, and thanks to my husband he knows all about the old Dr Who stuff too. They were very impressed with his knowledge."
Olly and his dad Simon have taken their worship of the show to another level – their home in Low Lane, Torrisholme, houses a
life-size Dalek and a K9, and they plan to build a tardis next.
Even Jenny has finally
succumbed to the lure of the show. "I used to watch it under sufferance but I have been hooked on the new series," she said.
Tune in to Totally Dr Who on BBC1 at 5pm on Thursday to find out how Olly got on in the quiz .
