Ooops!  I was in a rush when I wrote this yesterday & wasn't very clear I don't think.  What I was talking about was smaller groups for the drinks reception only.  For the talks & autographs the approx 30 people per group is more than fine.

Ah, sorry for my misinterpretation lol. You probably wrote that when there was all of the Gold Drinks discussion so I probably didn't put the two together by mistake. I'm one of the shy people too, don't worry, I know what you meant now.

Not liking new rule on groups for party, know its fairer but because I'm shy with new people I'm gonna end up invisible girl at the back. As for ET2 when I mentioned that rule pre-Hub I was told you can ask crew to place you with friends, did that happen?

[owl post 1992]

Can we not have the same questions asked over and over again, Gareth's talk with Daniela apart from favourite line/quote was all about Ianto's death/how to bring him back. i got bored and actually wanted out (more so because lights were making me more dizzy and lack of fluids). i asked Daniela about what it was like to kiss Naoko which seemed with all the questions she answered to be one of very few to be linked with Torchwood rather then her other roles =/

I completely agree, I too got bored (well not bored, just restless) with the same questions being asked.  I loved the panel talks at Hub 1 and 2, but the same questions third time around were a bit tedious.

This was my first Hub so I can't really compare them to other ones but I thoroughly enjoyed the talks. I think there were definitely missed question opportunities though, I would have loved to have heard what Nikki had to say about 'Sleeper' but can't actually remember her answering one question about her episode. Next time, I'll make sure that I send in lots of questions now that I know how the panels work. I can't wait for The Hub 4 now, even though it's next year.

Little box at reg desk with slips of paper to ask questions on. Well, if you compare Gareth/Daniela's talk with others at Hub 3 don't you feel it was quite repetitive?

The "whats it like to kiss John Barrowman" questions are so annoying. He's not going to have a different answer everytime.

Hear, hear! Besides, he hates them with a passion.

I missed this, but its not the same asking Daniela what it was like to kiss Naoko.

Oh and he has a tee saying not to ask him what it was like to kiss John...

So ... what did he say?

He was asked what it was like 'filming intimate scenes with John' - he called for the person who asked it to be sent out of the room (with liberal use of swear words, obviously) then said that just rephrasing it from 'kissing John Barrowman' to 'filming intimate scenes with John Barrowman' wasn't going to get him to answer it.

And we moved from there to the next question...

I really feel sorry for the poor kid having to deal w/ these idiots.  There's so much more to him & his acting than kissing John bloody Barrowman!  Even if these people have never been to one of his Q&As before I'm guessing since THIS is their burning question that they've scoured the internet for stuff about him and heaven knows you can find the answer there often enough.
To me, what I find most disturbing is that it isn't always the very young fangirls who keep asking this.  There's been a couple of times it's been someone who's left their teenage years behind  a while ago.  It makes me want to stand up & scream 'Have some respect! Both for yourself & him!'.

Sorry for the rant guys.  And yeah it got asked AGAIN at Hurricane Who this past weekend. *SIGH*

He was scared that I was about to ask it at one of his intimate encounters (I was trying to figure out how to phrase a question about what he looks for in other actors in a diplomatic way), and I assured him from the bottom of my soul that I would never, ever ask him that question. His relief was more palpable than his snark. :)

Depending on his mood he can get anything from a slight scowl to deer-in-the-headlights (rare) but most frequent seems to be one that screams exasperation.
