14th Annual Cult TV Weekender, UK, 19-22 October 2007.
Cult TV in the UK has, for the last 24 years, been a grass roots fan movement, celebrating TV with a cult following from the 1960s right up to today’s cult hits from both the UK and the USA. It is run entirely by unpaid volunteers, offering you the best value it can, not for the benefit of shareholders but for the well-being of various charities.
Visit our website: www.cult.tv
Your registration fee includes access to all the Weekender’s events from Noon Friday until Noon Monday – interviews, workshops, quizzes, games, charity auctions, exclusive screenings, merchandise traders hall, 24 hour video rooms, theme parties, the Friday night fun & games, the Saturday Awards Ceremony and the Sunday Star Cabaret. You also get two free autographs from all our celebrity guests (subject to their availability) – one on your event brochure (a souvenir that is also included in your registration fee), and one on something of your own. You also get an extensive ‘pack’ containing all sorts of goodies! Your accommodation cost includes three nights’ bed, breakfast and evening meal.
The venue is the Heythrop Park Hotel, nr. Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, UK. This year’s venue is a historic English stately home with state of the art conference facilities and modern bedrooms and provides excellent value for our attendees. Click here for the hotel website: http://www.heythroppark.co.uk
The hotel is situated between London and Birmingham and is a short distance from the M40 motorway. We are a train ride away from London Heathrow and Birmingham International airports.
This year’s charity is the Cinema & television Benevolent Fund (CTBF) and their website is at: http://www.ctbf.co.uk/pressreleases/CultTV.html
Guests so far include:
* Jared Martin * - * WORLD CONVENTION EXCLUSIVE *
Jared is best known for a trio of starring roles across the years: Varian, in The Fantastic Journey; Dr Harrison Blackwood in the 1988-1990 television version of War of the Worlds; and Steven ‘Dusty’ Farlow in 31 episodes of Dallas. He has many other TV appearances to his credit and Jared has also appeared in a number of cult films. In 1994 Jared co-founded the The Big Picture Alliance which helps inner city youth by providing a way to both reach and teach them film and TV skills, and to become civically aware of community issues.
Cult TV are delighted to have Jared join us this year for his first ever appearance at a convention anywhere in the world, and are pleased to be able to re-unite him with one of his co-stars from The Fantastic Journey after almost 30 years:
