  1. Today
  2. There does seem to be competition to see who can get the biggest guest, which is all well and good, but these guests come with a price attached that not everyone will be able to afford. Which is why I like the Showmasters stance, where they've come out and said on numerous occasions, that we can xyz guest, but they dont think people will be willing to pay what they'd have to charge. General rule of thumb as well, the bigger the guest, the less time you are going to get in front of them, most of us know, a diamond pass guest is pretty much going to be a conveyor belt experience, walk up quick hi, hows yours day, and away you go. Anything more is a bonus. It's not a meet and greet like some people have assumed and expected I like that we can usually get a good mix for the summer shows.
  3. In that term of switching to also getting Production Personnel it’s bound to annoy people who expect the bigger guests and only them, and tbh I’m here for it, conventions and events are my last refuge from the normality of life, even with it being more mainstream with cosplay and media attention, if all events were getting these massive big guests constantly and only, I think it would ruin the experience with too many people coming in and not looking to have the con experience, but to get in queue up and meet said person, before going off and complaining that they didn’t have a positive one for any number of reason, the most likely being that they were rushed through, because everyone else had the same idea. with the ones they do get, you at least have guests who are dedicated to the events and the fanbases as opposed to a lot of trend hoping on what is the most popular. which yes this sounds like gate keeping but id rather not see LFCC go the way where it’s so unrecognisable and I can’t have a healthy discussion with people in lines about what they’re getting signed and who else they may have on said set or item.
  4. The first and only one who comes to mind is June Hudson who is in the new series, and then she’d cover two classic seasons (a third if you count design work for Season 19 even tho it was only helping design 5s outfit) as a costume designer, and even Class for a single episode appearance, and given Show-masters has taken a step into a direction of Production Personnel it’s an increasing chance. if she was announced she’d likely be a £15 guest, and immediately I’d be slapping down that cash for my “The Keeper or Traken” as my current regret is I didn’t get her on said set previous, which now names on that set are a higher form of priority.
  5. A few people who cancelled last minute over the past few years: Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter, Andor, Killing Eve, Enola Holmes) Charles Edwards (LOTR: TROP, Sherlock, Batman Begins) Royce Pierreson (The Witcher, The Irregulars, Misfits) Also: Thaddea Graham (Doctor Who, Wreck, The Irregulars) Toby Jones (Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Sherlock, Doctor Who) Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) Lindsay Duncan (Sherlock, Doctor Who, SW: Phantom Menace) Clive Revill (Star Wars, ST:TNG) Daniel Davis (ST:TNG, ST:Picard, The Nanny) Jared Harris (SH:GOS, Fringe, The Crown) Ian McKellen (LOTR, X-Men, Vicious) Gemma Chan (Humans, Sherlock, Doctor Who,The Eternals) Kelly Reilly (Sherlock Holmes, Britannia) Geraldine James (Rogue One, Sherlock Holmes)
  6. Yesterday
  7. I hope we get a good mix of classic and new Who if I'm being honest. I cant see us getting any guest actors from the upcoming series, unless they are known for something else, as there wouldnt be much that we could get signed, I reckon these would be saved for the winter show I do think we will get a few of the upcoming series announced nearer the show mind as the new series will have started, and availability will come in to play, hopefully these wont be one shot guests though so we can get them in the future.
  8. At work, I'm on a slow re-read of the Michael Palin travelogues during my lunch breaks, i'm up to Sahara at the moment. And I've just finished reading The Templars and the Grail by Karen Ralls, A history of the myths surrounding the Holy Grail and the Knights Templar. From reading it, I hadnt realised that I'd visited so many locations related to the Knights, whilst living in Cyprus
  9. Lets hope so it would be nice to add more names, i've already stated who i want any particular stories i'd like guest stars from, but at this time Peter Purves & Janet Fielding have moved their way up my list quickly
  10. Damn February was awful, and I mean Jesus what an awful month that what 7 names that month alone because early in the month we also lost Michael Jayston, still shook up about that
  11. Logic my dear @Mfahey79merely enables one to be wrong with Authority
  12. yea but they like to do it at the end of the week and it might still be doctor who
  13. Reading the obituaries in Doctor Who magazine. Dave Myers of the Hairy Bikers, did more than Vengeance on Varos, he also worked on the prosthetics for Minwarp and The Curse of Fenric. February was not a good month, along with Dave, and Pamela Salem. We also lost Russell Brook (various 5th Doctor stories), John Savident (Visitation) and more famous as Fred Elliott on Corrie, andStuart Organ (Dragonfire)
  14. You're applying logic and common sense to the guest announcements
  15. Surely on that note if it was a Doctor who guest it would be on the 19th anniversary instead of two days later.
  16. As always I’d prefer a large number of medium names with some smaller ones thrown in, but if we get a big one I am hoping for Capaldi or Tennant as the former I’m yet to meet, the latter has moved up the ladder for Series 4 given the amount of names I have on said set now: Catherine Tate (Donna Noble) Jacqueline King (Sylvia Noble) Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler) John Leeson (K9) Julian Bleach (Davros) Jessica Martin (The Queen - “Voyage of the Dammed”) Sasha Behar (Spurrina - “The Fires of Pompeii”) Adrian Rawlins (Ryder - “The Planet of the Ood”) Christopher Benjamin (Colonel Hugh - “The Unicorn and the Wasp”) Colin Salmon (Dr Moon - “Silence in the Library”/“Forrest of the dead”) Michael Brandon (General Sanchez - “The Stolen Earth”) so having David Tennant atop of that would be great, of course with how my OCD works if Peter Davison was ever announced he would go above Tennant on said list, the Elder of the family I guess. also I’ve had a thought, because in the recent trailer we saw before Jinx Monsoon an appearance by one June Hudson if Showmasters booked her they could likely get what many people would assume to be a guest from the new series, but then they’d have a costume designer from the classic series, and in turn you’d have an actor from the upcoming series and someone who is deep rooted in the series
  17. Last week
  18. It is crazy when you read that, just doesnt seem possible it was that long ago at all.
  19. bit odd that its today but its 19 yrs since newwho Eccleston?
  20. There's been a new 'kid' on the con block.
  21. Big guest incoming thursday. Hopefully we get a good mix of guests and not just the one big name. I still think they were planning a Doctor Who guest with their last announcement, and they would have been a saturday only, with David Boreanaz being a Sunday guest. So maybe we are getting the announcement now.
  22. Him and Peter Purves would be top of my list for me, as I want both desperately for items. but the more the merrier from the 60s and 70s I say
  23. john simm soon maybe if there trying to rebook?
