Double Gammas

Double Gammas

The Double Gammas are the awards for excellence in Australian Doctor Who fandom.

History

The Double Gammas were first awarded in 1984,cite journal | last = Ortlieb | first = Marc | date = October 29, 1999 | title = Double Gamma Awards | journal = The Australian Science Fiction Bullsheet | issue = 129 | url = http://www.fanac.org/fanzines/Bullsheet/Bullsheet129.html | accessdate = 2008-06-16 ] and were administered by the Supreme Council of Time Lords (who were formed to help bind together the regional clubs and to award the Double Gammas) until the last award was presented in 2000. By arrangement they have now been taken over by current fan clubs, and are judged through contribution by each interested party.
