I took a picture of that map on Saturday, but it certainly got a little more filled up later on! I wrote the "STAFFORD" in big letters in the middle. xD It was above Stoke-on-Trent incorrectly, but I thought that seemed a bit too low down anyway... EDIT: I'm relooking at it now and have just noticed: "Rhys and Andy, the new ship <3)

Silver 035 again (or there abouts), just as I was at the Hub 2 coincidentally! My four friends are Silver too. Think we bought them about midday on Sunday. We went Gold for the first Hub, but without the group photo again we though pah, Silver forever.

DEFINITELY BRING TOM PRICE BACK! He and Kai are the greatest double team this side of the rift! And it was so hard picking a name from the first list. I was going for Eve or Burn, but had to go with James in the end! I do hope Eve and Burn liked us enough last time to come again.

I thought the heckling was kept to a minimum really, I didn't have a problem with it at all... it didn't take up much of the guest's answers as far as I can remember.

I loved Johnkey! I hope John hears of all the antics the other guests got up to in his name. "Goodbye, John Barrowman line!"

Me and my friends were "the Stafford Branch", but for some reason - that I still haven't got a straight answer for - the friend who wrote the questions forgot to put "of Torchwood" at the end of our name! I literally sunk down in my seat when Gareth was like "Stafford branch of what?!" But yep, that was us! My one friend talked to Phil on Saturday night about the Stafford open air Shakespeare festival which he attends every year, and that Kai had starred in one of the productions there several years ago! I thought we were very lucky to get that particular question about him coming back, as it's not something general that the whole panel could answer. We also asked the one to Tom about him playing Fireman Sam, as we think he looks like him! He wrote on my friend's autograph picture "I AM NOT AVAILABLE TO PLAY FIREMAN SAM, SORRY" lol!

When Roderic was talking about his part in 28 Days Later where he was pushed up against a glass window screaming, and the man in front of me called out "Was John Barrowman behind you?" And the Italian woman! That was so funny!

This event was brilliant, thank you so much Showmasters! The timetable was VERY well put together and the information around the venue was clear and well placed, so we had no trouble finding out where we needed to be! And the new bag system was very efficient - I felt much better about leaving my bag for only a moment, and it was much quicker than going back and forth to that room like last year. You should definitely keep that system for all events! The games at the parties were brilliant too - very imaginative and entertaining! The seating at the talks was as fine as always, although I did have a problem with the people that would claim isle seats, pretending anyone from getting up and down the central isle. I get that its the best seating and convenient, but when you're in a group of two or three it's just a bit rude to be so adamant as to not even stand up to let other people in. They're not going to steal your seat the moment you stand up, you know! My friends and me remember from Hub 1 how territorial some people were about staying at the guests' sides, so we didn't even attempt to go near them at any of the parties - we were quite happy to groove away on the dance floor all night! But my English student friend (who is quite shy) had her heart set for weeks on chatting to Phil Ford about writing and generally constructive subjects, and I had to literally push her forward into his midst because so many people just barged right past us and tried to grab the conversation - some people had no shame on Saturday night especially! I left her be with him and she eventually got to talk - one woman was very nice and said "thank you for talking, but this lady has been waiting ages to talk to you!", so whoever that was, thank you very much!, as I think people would've taken advantage of her politeness if you hadn't introduced her! You're an

There were guests at the last Hub that had only been in one or two episodes. James's character was pretty central to the last series, and he was a MASSIVE hit. Don't see why it couldn't be him. I seeeeriously hope it is!

The Ibis was a convenient price and location, but like other people have said - it's not too special. The only problems I had was how small the towels were and that each bed only had one pillow - my neck was killing me after one night! And they claimed not to have any more when I asked. I personally quite liked the breakfast though, as I don't usually have a cooked one anyway. I'd join other people in hunting for a cafe that does a full English, but with the Saturday events probably starting at 8:30am like last time, it's just a time issue...

Okay... HUB 3 is now obscenely tempting. The new venue sounds stunning, but since I live in Stafford I'm only a 30 minute train ride from B'Ham anyway! And you really are torturing us with this super mysterious amazing guest now... I think I may have to consider this!

...I'm dying to find out who you've booked now! My best guesses are John Barrowman or James Marsters! I wasn't going to go HUB 3 due to money and 3rd year uni issues, but if it's James... well I'll sell my own mother for that. *Prays it's James*

Thank you so much for linking us too these - they bought back a lot of scenarios I'd already forgot! I adore the shots of the parties and everyone in costume, I can't stop smiling now. And the quality is amazing by the way, what camera did you use?

Those are icredibly cute! Kai is so good to his fans! And it's cool to see another Staffs uni girl!! Maybe I'll see you around.
