I've got two and I'm happy to leave it at that level truth to be told. I've a diamond for Verada, and the LUX trio, and it would take someone or something exceptional to change that. Purely as I'm looking at my signing list and think thats hectic enough
- Today
-
Okay just checked and LFCC last year had 9 photos with no diamond passes I had paid for 3 more but 1 was ill, 1 had a time mess up where some staff said one time and it was another a similar issue but they didn’t refund me on that one, but the 9 I did get was a duo I got with two people (Peter Purves and Maureen O’Brien), so I guess this LFCC assuming nothing goes wrong it’ll be 9 photos with 11 as the Lux Trio only go as a Trio. also their aren’t any Duos im keen on or able to afford, IE I think Sethu and Dobson are offering a duo but I’m not the most fussed let alone can afford it it’s just not a Duo that interests me, their usually has to be a reason companions from the same era, doctor and companion etc etc

I don't know the most photo-shoots I've ever had in a weekend, but i'd roughly say one fantom event where i had around 7 of the guests and then a group photo as well. but this event i've got around 9 booked, maybe 10 if i decide to spare the funds for the tenth i want, but that said i'd probably just funnel it into more autographs truth be told especially as i am currently cutting corners, not what i'm the biggest fan of.

Thats true, he would be one hell of a land for me, as i'd put him on Lost in Time, "The Wheel in Space" CD, "The Sea Devils" and Series 9, the latter mainly to cover all my bases
-
Most I managed was 16 photoshoots over 3 days in 2017 that included 5 diamond passed, that was a very busy weekend, and that didnt cover getting autographs as well At the moment I'm working the weekend of the November show, so i'm not looking at that one at the moment
-
It's a chock-a-block saturday for me that weekend whether I can make my way to Collectormania, Depending how the morning goes, I'm going theatre in MK on the saturday, hopefully though there are guests on the Sunday I want to meet
-
I think with his age, if he is able, he'd be better suited to a Fantom or Film Fair
-
So I’m listening to “the wheel in space” to pass the time at work and Donald Sumpter would be a hell of a guest with his career and I’d put down for 4 nice and easy

Latest Guest Announcement - CLARE HIGGINS
malky replied to showmasters's topic in Film & Comic Con Glasgow 2025
Hopefully Andrew Robinson & Oliver Smith will attend also -
It’s not set in stone yet that I can attend, I’ll only have July and Augusts hours to work from but I will be focusing on this show and LFCC later in the year as I want to prioritise those events above anything else, so MK would have to be done on the cheap
-
I think this is shaping up to be my most expensive event yet and I only have 3 diamond passes, I think that’s the most I’ve ever had for any event, the prices have varied significantly over the years so the value has never lined up, my first time doing passes was 2022 with Tennant, Smith and Whitaker, then the next trio of passes was last year with Gatwa, Gibson and Sheen, now it’s Sethu, Barrowman and Blessed, but last year I think I spent more on passes because of just how bloody expensive Gatwa was, bare in mind he was £300 so that was more than Barrowman and Sethu combined. As for November so far no diamond passes guests which is interesting as I expected Jacobi to be Diamond Pass like last time but I guess that helps in that I won’t have to shell out and end up with a duplicate photo, but does also mean his queue could be hell, especially as I want him on two items, I doubt they’re gonna go as overboard as they have for this event, as July is expected to use most of the building whilst November isn’t expected to use beyond one hall.
-
I’ve not seen the reverse, but still reigns annoying we’ve got to wait until after this event which has 8 names which could all go on said item and we’re gonna miss the chance completely. id love for the lux trio to return in November maybe if enough people state this they may wish to return, I mean I pulsated Cartmel and Martin to appear at November last year (you’re welcome) so I’m sure it’s possible
-
Ive seen the reverse of the syeelbook. Damn shame we dont get it until August
-
Mk in September coincides with me doing a charity bungee jump, and seeing Inside no 9 in the afternoon, Fortunatly both are in MK so can at least try for some of it. I will be hoping Pemberton and Shearsmith do a meet and greet so can chance my arm on getting something signed
-
Ive come close to, if not over that on a couple of occasions. But that was when you factor in diamond passes and photoshoots bought well in advance. 2017, I went overboard on Alyson Hannigan, diamond, extra photoshoot, and double shoot with her husband. I also had diamonds for Alan Tudyk, Tom Wilson and Bernard Cribbins. And then 2018, we had Eccleston, Smith and Capaldi. I also had diamonds for Duchovny, Meat Loaf And factor in this was before you could do pay in free

Well all I can say is sweet Jesus I’m £5 shy of needing a grand for this one lads, I’ve taken off a couple of things I’m willing to Lose, and I may have to dig even deeper to cut corners, if anything the next ones to go are the Lux Trio I’ve got the photo booked and I may have to be satisfied with that. I don’t want to have to, but it comes down to what I have available, me mum has implied that she and my father may give me some money in conjunction with the money I want to take out of my savings (yes I am 26 and live with my folks, the housing market is terrible) so I may be able to sustain things further assuming that they don’t now announce a massive guest or one I go “ah it’s yaself” and find myself having to put down more than a few notes for. all I can say is “the curse of Peladon” isn’t going to be signed this event, and John Barrowman is unlikely to grace my Regen boxset on this occasion, unless their is a blow out by someone to the tune of some £50 IE someone I don’t want to blow out because I get anxious about the remaining longevity of the actor, even if it would open up £80 in the budget. I am tempted to do MK in September simply because they have Arthur Bostrum, and of course Allo Allo but he did Scaredy Cat with Paul McGann, for some reason I have two covers for that one, absolutely no idea why the seller had a second but here I am

Returning once again we have the ever so lovely Jessica Martin best known to Doctor who Fans as Mags in the 1988 story "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" with lead actor, writer and script editor also in attendance for the event, however she does have other roles an appearances, eventually becoming a companion of the seventh Doctor. for Jessica you'll need: "The Greatest show in the Galaxy" "Voyage of the Dammed" The Complete Fourth Series "Signs and Wonders" "The Monsters of Gokroth" "The Moons of Vulpana" "An Alien Werewolf in London" "The Last of the Colophon" The Collection Season 25 The Ten Christmas Specials Jessica is attending both days of the event and is £15 for an autograph, again she is such a lovely lady to speak to.
-
returning for July we have Tony Lee who has written a number of Audios for the big finish range of audio, he is also running the notably large comic zone. for Lee you'll need: "Rat Trap" "Private Enemy No.1" "Vesuvius Falling" Tony is attending both days and is a free signer, and a very lovely man
-
To the showmasters employee reading this forum and stealing the information i uncover, please listen to most of the names we suggest around here, Paul Cornell will be a good one for us all please
-
Its definatly been a heavy year so far sad to say
-
And there is Jessica and Tony
-
We seem to be losing a lot of names in recent times, I was heart broken when we lost Mary Peach who had one of the best lines in the series, now we have lost quite a few this year
-
I would like to see him, as I am in desperate need of him as he wrote one of the absolute best stories especially in a period where people insist the show was bad (I mean “Time and the Rani” really carries that burden but once you’re past that it’s not too bad) and “Battlefield” is definitely a story that needs some names as I only have McCoy, Alfred, Courtney and Cartmel. Of course he’d get 5 signatures worth of what he’d charge from me, as all 4 DVDs of “Remembrance of the Daleks” and then “Battlefield” as well
-
Well they finally announced the TARDIS prop shoot, had I waited 40 hours on booking Katy Manning I could have gotten her with that, always something I guess
-
Sad times indeed. RIP Pik-Sen
