Jeremy Bulloch was lovely to meet. I thought it was nice of him to stand the other side of the desk, so he could chat properly.

I'll be completely honest and frank when I say I didnt think Christopher Lloyd was over freindly. Yes, I know he had loads and loads of things to sign, but people posting on here had given me the idea he was the kind of guest who didn't mind a very quick chat. I asked him how he was and he gave a one word answer and that was it. He barely looked at me, just signed my photo and looked away, and then then crew member handed me back the photo.

I also met Lea Thompson who was lovely! She was genuinely happy to pose for a photo and was just a fantastic guest.

I have to say that's a tough choice.

I thought that Karen, Robert Knepper and Joel Gretsch were all great.
Karen was really bubbly, Robert and Joel were both really chatty and friendly.

Alex Kingston. I've waited years to meet here, I'm somewhat shy but I got a hug! Plus she took time to look at the photo I'd drawn of Daleks with River Song banners, commenting it was very good not only putting my name but also spoilers!

All the star wars people <3

Joel and Mark were lovely and commented on my name, saying it was pretty <3

Only met 2.  Mark Sheppard was lovely and really chatty, he even thanked me for buying a pic of him in Supernatural (they had run out).  Top marks go to Richard Hatch, what an amazingly lovely guy.  He chatted for a while and was happy to pose for a photo and insisted we checked it was ok before we left.  Made me go weak at the knees when put his hand on my shoulder as we left :)

I met Jessica Cave, Trevor Steedman, Corey Feldman, Stanislav Ianevski, Mark Shepherd and Christopher Lloyd.  

My fav was definately Corey though, he was lovely at his auto and we chatted about our fav films.  Also his talk was great too - despite the band noise.

I couldnt decide between Karen or Christopher Lloyd and I feel I may have chosen wrong.  Chris Lloyd is such a legend and I feel it was great to meet him but it did feel rushed and he never said a word to me.  I try to chat to him but it was a bit one sided. Nevermind it was still a great day

Only talked to Mark Sheppard but he was great. He let me go on about the final season of Battlestar, then politely disagreed with everything I'd said. Hard to describe the conversation, but he came across as a really funny guy.  Also very accommodating in the photoshoot. From the reaction during his talk he's also quite the crowd-pleaser.

I was going to chat to Morgan as well, but by the time the photos had come back for Mark and I'd chatted to him I was well overdue to head home.  Hopefully next year!

Really enjoyed Walter Koenig's talk as well - his response about getting Russian-speaking roles after TOS was hilarious.

For me it was Christopher Lloyd!

He was the guest I was most excited to see and he was the best thing of my day.
When I had my photoshoot with him I was very excited and a little nervous when I saw him in person. He gave people in front of me a arm around their shoulders, but then when it got to me after I said hi, he said "come here" and gave me a really nice hug for the photo!

Due to me and my brother's VTs for his autographs getting high our number (in the 870 region) wasn't called out until very close to 6pm. When it was my turn he told us that he'd back and went for a quick break. After he did his autograph for me. It was done very quick with no personalisations but I'm glad I got it and really like how neat and careful his writing is. It would've been nicer to get an earlier VT for a chance of a personalisation, but I'm glad with the experience and do feel bad at how tired he looked at the end of it all.

Also I'm very impressed with Karen getting through everyone. I got her autograph very late in the day, but she was still very smiley and chatty through the rush of people.

For me it was the great John Leeson. I must say, what a Gent! He was really friendly, approachable and down-to-earth. I got an epic "Tail wags to Liam from K-9" personalisation and he seemed genuinely concerned about it smudging. He even posed for a photo at the desk as well!
The lucky lady in front of me in the que even got him to say a few lines as the faithful mut himself (I nerdgasmed when I heard the "affirmative" lol)

Brian tochi and sandahl bergman wonderful lady.

[Blonger]

Met Christopher Lloyd and Karen gillan and honestly can't choose between them as they were both so kind and managed to chat with me for a bit, didn't really even feel rushed as knew how busy they were so both were absolutely fab !!! :)

[greedo_uk]

John Chapman - one of the nicest guests I've met. Started telling me how they ditched a load of SW props / kit during filming !!!!

[PoTtHeAdWhOvIaN]

So what was your favourite guest?
Mine were all the Harry Potter ones because they were so kind and friendly and especially Georgina Leonidas had good old chat with her about basil brush and Harry Potter (get them all for Ems!).
Also karen was really nice at the photo shoot but we didn't get much time but i understand why and also alex kingston she was very kind!

[Bergman]

I have to admit that Peter Jurasik was probably one of the best I ever met in 7 years." Fellow centauri" Stephen Furst was also very pleasant. Peter chatted a lot with me and my 8 years old son; also gave him a Tron signature as a gift and posed for two pictures. He also wrote a long phrase on my picture. Excellent guest and lovely person.

[DanWilkinson92]

Karen!    I really thought she would be like a conveyor belt, churning out autos. But she was really friendly and more importantly seemed to be enjoying herself loads. She was always smiling... which made me a little weak at the knees when directed at me haha.

[dreximgirl]

Joel was fab, I got a wicked smile and laugh from him when I handed over the Danielle Steel dvd he had done. And he said 'Have a great day Lisa' as I left which was really nice.

Camille was adorable and told my dad he was doing a great job with the photo taking - before winking at me.

But the star of the day for me was Harry Melling who gave me a mint when he got back from him lunch break and flicked through the Merlin book I got him to sign. He was simply lovely!

[dr zaius]

karen gillan was a real star....totally friendly and down to earth,like most people though who met her,i spent only about 30 seconds in her presence...so no time to chat unfortunately....but she was great fun at the talk later on,so glad i went to that. hope she comes back again.........and hopefully does both days.....i`m sure all the fans would appreciate that....saturday was a killer!....lol

a great event....well done guys...it was a top notch convention!

i went away poor...but happy!

[Charmer]

Karen was easilly one of my faves as well as all the Harry Potter guests. Had a nice chat with Derek too about Revengers Tragedy and chatted to Camille about her being in Nuns on the Run which I used to love when I was younger!

[adamthehorrorfan]

I had a great time meeting both Lisa Marie and Clive Barker. Although, I found Clive Barker very pleasant to speak with because he actually took the time to have a good conversation with me about his inspirations for making the Hellraiser characters and the storyline. I had a good time speaking with Lisa Marie but I was quite pissed after her PR said no photographs were allowed with her. Although, it was understandable with Clive Barker because he was in really bad shape and he couldn't move his right hand.

[Vitani]

My favourite guest to meet was definitely Morgan Shepperd; he was so lovely to talk to.

[CyberdyneT800]

All of the guests I met this weekend were great! Gary Kurtz, Kenny Baker, Lea Thompson, Walter Koenig, Christopher Lloyd, Joel Gretsch, Brent Spiner and Richard Hatch.

Have to say that Joel was one of the best, asking what I did for a living and where I'm from, he said he loved playing a baddy in Taken, a great guest!

Meeting Chris Lloyd was amazing, although a short meeting, it was amazing to meet the 'doc' from the film I've grown up with, I think my brother was also extremely happy after getting part of his REAL Delorean signed.

Great weekend as always, well done SM
