Star-studded comic-con and Lego festival in Gloucester

Some of the stars of some of the country's best known and loved TV and film franchises are making an appearance at a comic-con.

Gloucester Comic-Con takes place on November 23 at the GL1 Sports Centre, and stars on the line-up include the likes of Robert Llewellyn (Kryten from Red Dwarf), Catrin Stewart (Jenny from Doctor Who), Tim Rose (Admiral Akbar, Star Wars), Susan Twist (Doctor Who), and Zippy himself - Ronnie Le Drew.
