On arrival I wandered into the first exhibit that was there, not knowing what they had, and lo and behold it was all about Dr Who!
Basically, it was an exhibit that consisted of the actual costumes of characters from Dr Who, all on display for you to see! I wasn't sure if photography was allowed, but as NOBODY was around (it was kinda creepy like that) I took plenty of photos. Rachael, Hugh and Mum, prepare to be jealous:
The REAL coat:
K9!
The Face Of Bo (he was one of the best things there):
The Cybermen, they look as creepy in real life as they do on TV:
The Daleks:
One of the statues from 'Blink'. This was actually pretty scary to look at (thanks to such a good episode they were in):
Me with a Dalek. This one you could actually go inside and move his suction cup and beater around. There was also a mic so you could talk like a Dalek too:
Manchester was the home of Beyer Peacock, who built the Garrat locomotives:
Manchester was also the first place in the world to have an official Public transport railway in the world. This is the place where Stevensons Rocket was tested and built. They don't have the replica of the original Rocket here, but they had this loco which is a similar type. It is a full working model. Very cool:
The first dedicated passenger train station in the world, right here. The building itself isn't too impressive (thats it on the left) but the tracks are in the original positions that they were in when the line was first built:
Oh yeah, I also got my Arsenal merchandise for when I go see the play in a few weeks. Very awesome!

My Friend, you're in Manchester and it seems to me that you're deluded if you somehow think that Arsenal are better than the clearly superior Manchester United!
