What a great display and turnout of the characters from yesteryear. I remember all of them and the shows, which brought back memories of the dalek toy that I had when i was about 8 years old. Great memories and entertainment from a time that will never be again. Colin Baker i wouldn't have recognised straight away but Wendy Padbury still looks great all these years on. Thanks for showing this gathering and nice to see that its all still alive.

I grew up in Topsham in the 1960s and knew every inch of the alleyways and courts. Some of the big houses were certainly posh but there was plenty of rundown housing in a terrible state and what was really slums. There were derelict sale lofts and warehouses by the river, these are all expensive houses and flats now. Everything now looks freshly painted and well maintained, the streets look narrower and Fore Street used to be two way but it's all instantly recognisable. The shops are all different and there's far fewer pubs than when I started my drinking career. Who remembers The King's Head, The Malt Scoop, The London and South Western, The Exeter Inn? You didn't show The Bridge Inn, possibly the best pub in the country and still going strong.

Hi Bill I'm not a believer in the paranormal but this did give me goose pimples when I first saw it. I couldn't think for the life of me what it would be but after watching it over & over I now know what it is. If you look at the sky in the shot you can see a seagull fly quickly across the sky. I think it's the seagulls shadow moving along the ground. We've got into the habit of watching your daily video every evening just before we go to bed. We can't wait to come back to Teignmouth again. My wife's mum & dad stayed at that Devon Valley holiday place. It's a shame it's closed now as the views across the estuary are amazing. 😊
