I remember Ian Watts at his parents home back in the late 70's when visiting my friend, his youngest brother. He had a 360 watt per channel amplifier in bits across the dining table with a huge pair of loudspeakers propped-up; all built himself. He was testing it at full tilt with Hot Chocolate's hit, 'No Doubt About It', and as the opening of the track had the sweeping synth tone getting lower, everything in the adjoining kitchen where his mother was preparing the evening meal for the family rattled like crazy. Before this system, his younger brother Andrew showed me Ian's bedroom system upon my first visit, knowing I had an interest in audio. This was a cannibalised Armstrong radiogram wireless chassis, (he'd sawn-off the bulk of the radiogram casing, (much to his parent's horror as it had previously belonged to them apparently), modified it to deliver 100 watts and driving four large speaker cabinets secreted into the wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes; the huge Goodmans drive units apparently had come out of the local Church! A Collaro autochanger was the source. If ever there was a Doctor Who in reality, it was Ian. His father was head of the GPO telephone exchange; latterly BT. It was always a hive of activity at the Watts household; including Bee keeping.
Hi, I was there in 2013, my name is Andrew, I cosplay as the 10th Doctor, also as Captain Jack Harkness from Torchwood. I have also cosplayed as the 3rd Doctor, the 4th Doctor and the 11th Doctor. I live in Cornwall I go to a Sci-Fi event in Plymouth. These Daleks are awesome, I've been inside 2 of them.

I'd love to get into a project like this. Seems like superb fun
Nice to see a well known face working on this machine
Fun fact: The Dalek in Doctor Who: Resolution was radio-controlled aswell; this seems to predate it.
