Well, I dont know how to break this as I'm still in shock myself Richard Dreyfus is being moved to winter

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Richard Dreyfuss has sadly had to drop out of London Film & Comic Con this weekend, but he looks forward to seeing us at London Comic Con Winter to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws. It’s sad these things happen, but we’re looking forward to seeing him at the end of the year. Photoshoot and diamond pass tickets will automatically roll over to his new appearance, if you’re unable to attend, please email in by 15th July or visit the sales desk if you would like to use the amount this weekend. Entry tickets can also be rolled over to his new appearance, providing they are not used this weekend.

Ultimately it would depend on actor, finances and what I'd hate more. missing out or paying the high price. I didn't regret missing Michael Sheen despite how great an actor he is

It depends on the actor, I seriously considered spending £400 on a Patrick Stewart signing this year but didn't. I managed to get a full Star Trek Next Generation cast signed piece for a little under that. It really depends on the actor. I never would have considered spending as much on Michael J Fox as I did until it was in front of me. Ncuti I hesitated over the amount, but still paid so was batch 1. But in regards to Doctor Who, Neil Patrick Harris would probably be a similar price to Mel Gibson. And at least getting him on the 60th steelbook would be a talking point, as he would likely see 90% How I met your Mother items Oliver Coleman would be another big name for a relatively small role. Although another I could see charging Mel Gibson money if he ever graced a convention. Would be Timothy Dalton

So Garrick Hagon has changed his day, he’s doing both now

So far skirting any losses for us but that is something I am expecting to change. plus what’s likely to be worse and Showmasters could really find themselves in trouble is if they print the passes for Dreyfus and people collect them and should he be a no show, it’ll be tricky for people to get the money back because the QR code will be used

I'm seeing the same rumours, but if thats the case they need to cancel him now rather than when printing the passes. as by then, how many would have collected him at 4pm for example And whilst we're on cancellations. Paul Bannon Ladislav Beran and Angus Neil have cancelled

Due to a change in schedules, LADISLAV BERAN, ANGUS NEILL and PAUL BANNON are no longer able to join us at London Film & Comic Con this weekend. We wish them all the best and hope to welcome them to future events soon. Tickets will automatically be refunded after the weekend.

I loved him in Rings of Power!

On a more serious note I’ve already seen some people suspect it’s Dreyfus as their is considerable doubt about his attendance this event, as they’re expecting him to cancel on this one and we are T-Minus 3 days, so I’m wondering what’ll happen if he does with little time left. it has been known to happen a day prior or even the day before but given that people could be getting the diamond passes printed on the Friday that could be an issue should he reschedule for the winter event, that could cause issues with how many people will have them and how many more they may sell

Scene Showmasters HQ, shadowy building located in Hull: he’s asked for no more guests, prepare the pre announcement post

Its almost like they heard you, and decided to play with you a little bit. A big guest is being announced on Friday... For the winter show

Not when you toss a coin.

So we’ve often discussed big names and where our cut off point is on what we’d spend or how big they are compared to the role they played and whilst we’ve discussed the likes of Andrew Garfield for Series 3, Neil Patrick Harris for the 60th Anniversary specials, Ian McKellon for Series 7 and Benedict Cumberbatch for “Forty-Five” (this I would get purely to spite the Sherlock fanbase). but I throw a new hat into the ring after Remembering Ellen Thomas is attending this weekend and that Fantom announced Keith Parry from the same episode “Planet of the dead”, that name being Daniel kaluuya a man who wants to get out… I’ll get my coat. but given he became a horror icon for that one movie which was a very widely accepted and recognised horror movie on the same level as “Scream” in a way probably bigger. but how much do you think he would cost for what is again a small role within the the episode?

I am now at that point that I am begging no more guests please Showmasters, I cannot afford anything more… unless it’s Paul Cornell but for the love of god I cannot afford A. A new Big finish set B. To pay for an autograph on said set. if it was Paul Cornell I could get him on 4 items comfortably, “The War Games” (Steelbook), “Day of the Daleks”, The Collection Season 7 and “Circular Time”, now for all intents and purposes I hate that Big Finish CD but at the same time it’s the only other one I own that I don’t have signed by him. if he was announced last minute (IE Thursday) I could easily pack the 3 items I haven’t yet done so, I’m thinking to try and boost the names on the Bernice Summerfield audios as he did create the character, although I’m not necessarily one who resorts to cheating… too often

Angela Bruce is one id jump at for my “Battlefield” by all means especially as I do need to get more names on that set which atm I only have the usual suspects of McCoy, Aldred and Cartmel plus Nicholas Courtney so another name would be solid and that would be a 5 name set easy

I mean they could offer another option with her involved I guess. i mean a group diamond pass would be an interesting concept where you can get the autographs of all 4 guaranteed and have the group photo

Anyone know if she's being added to the group shot?

I think I've worked it out, with only 7 pages left. The pre Ncuti era actors i haven't already got, can finish of diary 1, still leaves one page though And Ncuti's era can start the 2nd Diary but page one has to be Carole Ann Ford as she was also on page one of the 1st one with Russell.

And if they can get Angela Bruce and Clare Grogan, I'd be a happy dwarfer, and be able to retire my poster. I'd make the exception for Robert Bathurst as he was in the first scene with Craig and Chris

It would be disappointing if they add Hattie to the group shot, as the main selling point is the boys from the dwarf. But at duo shoot with Norman I'd jump at. This is also the time id advocate for a group diamond pass, where you get a pass for the four guys autograph. But no photoshoots

That would be great mirroring indeed

Well i've done a basic Tally for July post LFCC and so far its only a £80 for 5 names, which for me is actually a rather small pay line up, and i have one i can more than comfortably cut should someone big get announced, which i'd rather not, as i will be putting money side for October and November

So it turns out one of the Red Dwarf main cast did do Doctor who, well sort of anyway as Hattie Hayridge who played Helly and the second Holly from Series 3-5 appeared in voice form in a big finish boxset, as opposed to just being a head on a screen. Hayridge appears in 3 audios across a single boxset, specifically "The New adventures of Bernice Summerfield- Volume 4: The Ruler of the Universe" as Ebbis and Morlick. Hayridge like the Red Dwarf boys is attending on the Sunday and is £20 for her Autograph. I have had to order the set and at last minute Amazon was my best friend and they had just one copy left which should arrive tomorrow, but i can imagine for Red Dwarf fans and even I for their sake would be hoping for Norman Lovitt to also attend, imagine a 6 person photo with all of them.

Thankfully not one for our lists…. At least I hope not
