What is the Society
of the Rusting
TARDIS?
The
Society of
the Rusting TARDIS (SotRT) is an informal gathering of people
in the Seattle area who enjoy British television. It started in
1985 as a Doctor Who video group (hence the name),
and branched out into other British TV shows during the "Wilderness Years" (1989-2004). Thirty
years on, it's still meeting twice a month, the 1st, 4th & 5th
Wednesday each month at Razzi's Pizzeria, 8523 Greenwood Ave N, in
their basement from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM
