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
