Designing Worlds travels through space and time with the Hands of Omega

Inside a TARDIS control room

Designing Worlds has a new show out today streaming live at 2pm SLT Monday 22nd August – and we’ll be gathering in the studio in Northpoint for a viewing party too!

One of the discussions that Saffia hosted at Second Life’s Eighth Birthday celebrations was with the huge and very enthusiastic Dr Who community in Second Life.  Learning that Hands of Omega, makers of some of the most beautiful TARDIS machines, was celebrating its fifth anniversary, Saffia and Elrik (who both grew up as Dr Who fans) visited Sen Pixie and learned more about how these beautiful machines work within Second Life.

And we also talked to Oolon Sputnik and Terry Lightfoot about Dr Who roleplay within Second Life. (Oolon and Terry have a splendid TARDIS of their own – the Etheric Travelling Cabinet – which featured in the June 2008 Issue of Prim Perfect as Readers’ Home of the Month.)
