One of the most popular companions from Doctor Who will be appearing at Nottingham’s Em-Con 2017.

Arthur Darvill played the character of Rory Williams, the husband of Amy Pond, from 2010 to 2012 in the long-running BBC series.

He stole the heart of viewers for his compassion and heroic actions as he accompanied the eleventh Doctor, played by Matt Smith, in the TARDIS.

Em-Con is coming to the Motorpoint Arena on the weekend beginning Saturday April 29.

Arthur Darvill is set to appear on both days of the convention, alongside Miriam Margolyes of Harry Potter fame and fellow Doctor Who actor, Terry Molloy, amongst others.

Arthur Darvill is also known for roles in the TV series Broadchurch and The White Queen as well as DC action-adventure film Legends of Tomorrow.

More are expected to join the line-up.

There will also be a wide range of dealer tables selling comics, toys, collectables and clothing, comic book artists, props and cars from the film and TV world as well as a cosplay contest for the best and most inventive costumes.
