I met Anthony Daniels around 6 years back at a cons and once I got my autograph he actually asked if my son and I would like a picture with him in front of the C3PO standee that was there. He was really nice.

Excellant announcement and really looking forward to meeting another Aliens guest. I know you have Colette Hiller attending Cardiff but would be great if she could make it to London as well. Well done guys

That picture is indeed Patricia Laffan in Devil Girl From Mars. I can see from the pic on you profile and the fact you know about Devil Girl from Mars you may well have the same taste in dodgy cinema as I do LOL

Excellant news that she will be there. Lovely lady Just curious about the black and white picture posted on here.... kinda looks like Patricia Laffan in a shot from Devil Girl from Mars and not Jacqueline Pearce.

LOL Yup... I thought the same! Still a great guest though.

I dont understand the complainers! If a guest is announced too early they often have to cancel due to work commitments (understandably).... if its left until later (with less chance of cancellations) people complain regarding not enough notice etc etc. As I said before you can never please everyone all the time. I, for one, currently dont want to meet any of the presently scheduled guests but I have the weekend booked off anyway just in case theres announcements of people I want to meet. I understand people that have to shell out and prebook hotels may be dissapointed if people pull out but thats life unfortunately. I am just grateful that Showmasters organise these events as , over the years, they have enabled me to meet people I otherwise probably wouldnt have met. so theres the occasional cancellation but it hasnt destroyed my world or anything..... simple fact is that people love complaining about anything. Instead of the moan offs why dont you guys think what it would be like without these events.... now that would be worth complaining about.

Any Alien or Aliens guests announced and I will be very happy. Talking of getting bigger and bigger guests .. what about James Cameron or Ridley Scott??? (yeah yeah I know)

I would really like to meet him as well. TBH Any Alien or Aliens cast members would be great. I will probably be costuming at this event as a Xeno anyway.

Thanks Murph. Everyone of my friends will be heading toward Tom Skerritt, Charles Dance and most of the GOT guests.

Hi guys! Firstly thanks again for getting such a great guest line up. Can you let me know which guests are going to be VQ guests if you already know. The reason I ask is that I will be working at the event but I have managed to persuade around a dozen friends of mine to attned and as they are all convention newbies they are eager to know whether they should be there early etc (work commitments etc) TBH I cant wait for them to get there because they are bending my ears with questions... anyway if you have any idea who the VQs will be it will help them decide whether they have to get early bird tkts. Thanks guys and looking forward to the weekend.

It will be great to see some Daleks as there are not many around. I am a member of a costume group that also raises money for charity and attends many of the Showmasters events. Showmasters have always been so very supportive to the likes of us and have enabled us to raise a LOT of cash for our chosen charities. Subsequently I believe enabling us to "do our thing" at the cons is great for the customers as they enjoy the various costumers and photo ops and it adds to the general atmosphere. We will look out for you guys there and if you need any support let us know.

Lets be honest... wherever a location is announced someone will be unhappy. YOu could put the entire show on a bus and stop outside every individuals house, allow them an hour with their guest of choice with free photograph, free autograph and a free lunch but you would still get somebody complain about something. "Dear Showmasters, Whilst I was happy with my hour with Harrison Ford Im sorry but my entire day was ruined by the fact the bus that turned up on my doorstep was the wrong colour blah blah blah" Showmasters are doing a great job but you can never please everyone all the time.

Firstly , thanks Showmasters for organising another event. We always get comments and feedback from attendees, co players, dealers etc but what about the guests? I would love to know what the celebrities say to you guys after an event and what sort of comments they make about the event and about us lot who come to see them. Spill the beans and please be gentle with our feelings.

I would be up for this. However, if it was just for Walking Dead then it may be too niche and exclusive. In other words there may not be enough people interested to make the event work (We have seen many events cancelled due to low ticket sales- even currently popular themed events such as LOTR and Harry Potter). If the event was a general zombie themed thing it could work. Get other people from the zombie genre involved. I met Tom Savini, George ROmero and the cast from Dawn of the Dead a few years back so maybe they would attend. Or even to broaden the appeal and get more guests for a Horror movie themed event. But back to the original post - I think it would be great to see the stars of the show and maybe the comic artists to.

I spoke to him and had a pic with him when he was at our costuming stall. HE EVEN SOUNDS LIKE PICARD! Lovely chap and very down to earth. I saw him last year after LFCC on his way home on the tube in full costume totally unfased by people looking at his as if that was a normal journey for the Enterprise captain. I wanted to have a chat with the guy in the Help for Heroes teddy costume to say firstly well done for doing what he was for a great cause and probably get him a drink. How he didnt pass out wearing that I dont know. (Well done to Showmasters again for supporting worthy causes and letting them and us all attend).
