Doctor Who fans can meet one the programme's most popular characters when he materialises in Lowestoft on Saturday.

Frazer Hines, who played The Doctor's companion Jamie McCrimmon between 1966 and 1969, is due to be at the Doctor Who-themed coffee and comic shop Dawn of Time in Lowesoft's High Street from noon.

Jamie was companion to the second Doctor, who was played by Patrick Troughton.

Last October nine missing episodes from their stories The Web of Fear and Enemy of the World were revealed to have been found in Nigeria - much to the delight of the show's legion of fans.

The Dawn of Time opened in November and is hosting regular visits by Doctor Who stars, with Sophie Aldred, who played companion Ace, visiting the shop to meet fans in January.
