Heather Menzies, Jessica in the TV series, is one of 16 announced guests who will be attending the UK's 'Weekender' convention, which will run between 19-22 October 2007.
Mark Withall of Cult TV sends us the following:
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:
http://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.

Cult TV is a non-stop, 72 hour event - no starting late and finishing early. Party on late with our themed parties. You get choice and lots of it. Can't sleep? - hit the screening room, the all night bar or buy a late night bap [hot sandwich]! We're fun! We enjoy the series we celebrate. Sometimes we get a little silly, but we never lose respect for our source material.
So if you like some of the other guests we have and TV shows they've been in and don't want to miss the opportunity to meet Heather and hear her talk about her career and much else, we're really the event for you this October!
