The Doctor Who Museum and exhibition has more than 600 original costumes, props and artefacts on display at its base on Central Promenade opposite the Central Pier.

And on Easter Monday there is a chance to celebrate the return of the hit TV series when a very special visitor materialises to delight Doctor Who fans young and old.

Colin Baker, who was the sixth Doctor appearing from 1984 to 1986 will be at the museum from 10am until 4pm.

It's a great opportunity to meet the actor who brought his own inimitable style to the character that has fascinated children and adults for more than 40 years.

Plus on Good Friday there will be photo opportunities with many of the monsters, Cybermen and Daleks who have battled with the Doctor over the years, all part of the unique collection of Doctor Who memorabilia built up by Blackpool entrepreneur, David Boyle.

A visit to the Doctor Who exhibition is also a chance to learn more about the unknown by delving in to the collection of conspiracies put together by Mr Boyle.

He has collected a vast array of information and controversial theories on current events, history and the cosmos.

You can make up your own mind as you learn how fears over avian flu have boosted profits for chemical companies, the absence of weapons of mass destruction, replaced by words of mass deception' in Iraq and theories on why our health and pension provision is now in crisis.

The Doctor Who Exhibition is open daily from 10am to 5.30pm. Admission is £6 adult, £5 concessions, £4 children with a family ticket available for £14.
