Full sized working baker console
One of the many props we will have at BritishFest is a full scale Baker Console room with working switches lights, and sounds! It was a big hit when it was first showed off just the console at another local con. So much so we ran out of room for people to watch it being used for a fan film being made. (Photos in the Pictures section) This time at Britishfest it will have more room and the rest of the set and walls finished!
Funny Britishfest commercials
Here are two commercials made by two of our guests and friends. This first one is a short one that people from Omaha would get the local humor in it.
