I'd love to see a writer announced as a guest and am sure that their talks would be very interesting. To name a few, I would love to meet; Chris Chibnall, James Moran, Joseph Lidster, P.J Hammond, John Fay and Catherine Tregenna.  :poki:

I've just been to a writers event in Cardiff and they are a lovely bunch, met James Moran accidentally at Screenwriters Fest and Joe at another writers talk, happily bought him a couple beers and hopefully will do so again.

Also getting ready to meet Phil Ford again soon =D
Gareth: Were you at the show?
Me: Yes! *thinks* of course!
Gareth: Did I get you wet?
Me: No, *thankfully* I was on the other side.
Gareth: You coming to the next performance?
Me: Yup
Gareth: I'm gonna, keep an eye out for you and get you later *evil glint*
Me: Oh *$%£$%""$

Writers panel sounds like a great idea!  

Also make up or prop makers (as someone mentioned above), their creativity adds to Torchwood - the people who make the masks, invent the Bekaran scanner and Singularity scalpel...

Aiming really high  - what about a director to go with the writer? That could be really in depth - did the director put it on screen how the writer imagined it?

Peter Anghelides invented the Brekkan Deep Tissue scanner ;) It has never been in the show proper so prop department has nothing to do with it.

Edit: Can we have Danny Hargreaves? Please!

I would Love James Moran to be announced but part of me wonders if he would even agree to it after he was treated during the week s3 aired.

Oooh id actually like someone from is it 'The Mill?'
Someone who does all the special effects. Id love to hear about how that's done etc.

I keep asking about cons but he says he's not doing those for a while or public events it seems.

I felt disgusted to actually label myself in the same group as them, CoE was bad but that should never equal death threats.

As for James I've had the privilege of meeting him twice and would dearly love to do so again.

Seriously can we get some writers, they have plenty of information and are tones of fun to hang with.

He has said that he wouldn't do Hubs due to save Ianto Jones. But hey anyone bar RTD and poss John Fay would be good. Not John Fay cos he hasn't been surrounded by TW like Lidster, etc.
