Rush over after the talk, that's all I can recommend. You definitely will will not be able to get the single photo at the end of the duo photo op. If you're there both days speak to the Sales Table. For LFACC they have allowed day swaps if paid events clashed. I have no information if this is happening again, but this is the only plan B I can suggest. Just in case anyone is trying to use this to get a swap with a free talk clash: If this is done, it will only be done for photo ops clashing with a paid for talk. I repeat "IF", I can't guarantee. If anyone tries the "but the mods said" route again I will hunt that person down and I guarantee when I find that person it will not be pretty.

The Amityville Horror

I'm going to pull away from this swatting business now and bring back what I'm now marking a yearly tradition Behold, the HAND. If you see me and my hand, come say hi. My face might be there too.

I will swat any children who throw negativity into my happy thread.

Yep, have heard the same. Hear he can have a seat at his table so people can sit down and have a chat!

I spotted it yesterday and it made me smile.

Photo Shoot & Talk Schedule Announced Batches... For shoots that have a 15 minute AM shoot it is likely only batches 1 and 2 will be called. If you are batch 1 or 2 and can't make the AM shot you can go to the afternoon shoot. If you are batch 3 you can enquire in the morning but you are likely to be in the afternoon shoot. If you are batch 4+ you will be in the afternoon shoot. SATURDAY Sunday

Cake, the mods deserve cake.

I am really sorry, but this is all at the discretion of the venue. The mods have no further information than what was posted on the website. A couple of people have e-mailed me and have mentioned having e-mailed the office without a reply. Unfortunately the office can't help either, it is really all at the discretion of the venue. Again, a complete ban on larger bags is not in place. The security update says "may not be allowed." What will make a bag not allowable... I am sorry to repeat myself, this is at the discretion of venue security. If you're clearly transporting an overnight stay kit I really can't see someone being refused. A proton backpack Ghostbuster style however may be a different story.

You can go back and join the queue any time after your number has been called, yes.

You can go anytime you're batch number has been called, you will be absolutely fine joining the queue during the afternoon session, don't worry.

after all the requests for Adam west you have got him :-) brilliant and thanks for listening showmasters now any chance of Burt ward too?

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, I wish I could be there myself. Both QS and I will be on here as often as we can to answer any questions. As has previously said on the Twitter, if you have any issues at the event, please speak to the crew and don't go home with unresolved issues, generally if there is a problem it can be sorted then and there, as opposed to after the event. Have fun!!

As you go into the event hall (queuing looks to be inside) Photo area A is at the top right (back) of hall. Photo area B is middle Left side about a minute walk... Most guests are down the right hand side of the hall so close to Photo A.

I was just looking for a film to watch and came across this... I had heard of it, so I decided to check it out. It was very good!

Great film!

...Fair enough, I can see it! It's the scraped back hair with side strands. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said it. Someone once asked me if it was Marilyn Manson, so I've heard worse.

Updated: http://www.thenec.co.uk/press-and-news/security-information/

Following the recent tragic events in Manchester, as we are sure everybody is aware, there is a heightened level of security and Police presence across all major venues and events. Collectormania is taking place as planned but we would ask all of our attendees to be patient and allow extra time when arriving at the venue and to comply with any additional checks that may be undertaken. We would also particularly like to remind any attendees intending to Cosplay at the show to be mindful of our guidelines, accessed via the link below. http://showmastersevents.com/index.php/cosplay-guidelines We would draw particular attention to the final section relating to "Out of The Event". At the present time, the general public are likely to be nervous about any weapons seen in public and equally not be aware of Comic Con. As such we would ask that all Cosplayers ensure their weapons are covered and not on display in public and therefore cannot be perceived in a threatening manner." Showmasters Ltd

You're Next (2013)

Someone Is Watching is very good! I watched it the other day after reading about it. It's definately worth watching!

Hey no rush :-D we live in hope.

Kristian the photo will be held in the hall that the event will be in, which as stated will be Hall 5.

Thanks for respecting my correct opinion

Every answer will be Tom Baker

You know full well I was referring to my beautiful posterior. Well I've managed to turn this whole thread to be all about me, so I'm just peachy. As is my bear behind.

There's a thread about parking here, I am not sure if that helps. The venue has several entrances. A map can be found here:

You want to hit the bear behind you, what did they ever do?

Thank you, I will.

Fine, everyone else have a great time. Nate, I hope you have a terrible day.

The sit down and chat amazes me. Putting effort into peoples experiences gives me joy! I cannot be bothered to wait in line for ages for most people. So hearing nice things draws me towards guests. Seeing them have fun does much the same. Collette Hiller from Aliens said sit down and chat 2 years ago. What a guest! Kim Coats last year I had no intention of meeting. Saw him having so much fun I met him and wow haha So if Walter says sit down and has fun, I expect it will be as memorable :-)

Loads of photo shoots... But one person I need to line up to meet is Walter Koenig. A chat seems on the cards seems I only hear nice things about him. Star Trek and Babylon 5 are close to my heart, so hope he is in a nice chatty mood :-D Will even try for a photo at his table (dont even try most the time), if not then will buy one the next day haha

We swapped to amazon like mailers about 8 months ago and haven't had a single item damaged in the post since (touch wood) Jason G

£15 is £15 and when you times that by 3/4 night's it's blooming expensive. I must remember to sign up for the honours so I get it free as well. I imagine I'm going to be comatose when I get in bed as I'll be knackered but you never know, and given what I've heard recently about the room temp in hotel rooms I'll either be too cold or hot to sleep.

I had kept an email they sent me a I never got around to looking at it and it says if you join Honours you get free wifi

I joined too but on the details of my bookings it lists free wifi on my one night stay but not the convention rate one so I was just wondering if it's included or not. I may ask them when I call to give them my new debit card details at the end of September to 100% confirm my booking (my card expires before our stay)

Yes, Bogleg, you just need to email shop@showmastersevents.com and they'll be able to do that for you.

Superman: The Movie

Black Christmas is a good film. I think the remake is even better though! I liked her in Amityville Horror as well. I haven't seen Someone Is Watching. It does sound very intriguing though. I will have to check it out!

There you go.

I'm really surprised that no one else has commented on this thread about how wonderful a guest announcement this is, admittedly being a child of the eighties I grew up watching and enjoyed watching Spitting Image and its always nice to meet those wonderful people behind or indeed under those #Latex creations and for so long Jessicas name would be at the end of the credits on Spitting Image. There was at one point I did watch doctor who and the most memorable moment was the end sequence where Jessica scared the bejeesus out of me LOLZ! Finally, now, there is a wonderfully decent guest who will now see me want to attend to meet am really looking forward to this brilliant opportunity :)

Is there going to be anymore guest announcements?

Ooo i want to join in.... Are these guests locked in to the event with their contracts?

What about the floor plan?

2017 marks the 20th anniversary of Buffy. I hope SM have got something special lined up to mark the occasion! I am hoping for some of the main cast - Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, James Marsters etc

Yaphet Kotto of course!
