Fort Road Hotel Bar

Exterminate/Regenerate with John Higgs at Fort Road Hotel Bar

7pm - 9pm

John Higgs tells the stranger-than-fiction story of Doctor Who in his new book Exterminate/Regenerate, a time-travelling tale of change, mystery and imagination.

The latest book from shape-shifting cultural historian and writer John Higgs, the brain behind cult classics like The KLF and William Blake vs The World, Exterminate/Regenerate goes beyond the Doctor Who phenomenon to discover how ideas emerge and prevail against all odds, why we are so addicted to fiction and why this wondering, wandering time traveller means so much to so many.

John will be talking about the book with the brilliant (and local) Dan Schreiber, author of The Theory of Everything Else and Impossible Things, host of many podcasts (namely No Such Thing As A Fish, We Can Be Weirdos and The Cryptid Factor) and QI Elf.

The wonderful Fort Road Hotel host these meet-ups in their basement bar with a delicious selection of drinks and snacks.
