Very happy with how this is shaping up now with Katy Manning (love how Katy added the wee face above the word "chess") and John Levene added today. Panicking now for the remaining classic series companions as I'm really getting low on space. Much as it would pain me I might remove Julien Glover to create room as he breaks my self imposed rule of classic Doctors and companions only (with an exception for Davros). It was a rush of blood to the head when I met him one year and had the board for others to sign.

Now with added Katy Speaking of Katy. She was incredible today. Took lesser granddaughter to the smaller con after greater granddaughter went to London and Katy clocked her straight away (dressed as Belle) and came right up to us before she'd even got to her desk (notice she is still carrying her coat). She did this another 2-3 times while we were in the queue coming out in-between signings to see Chloe again. It was amazing. I've met her many times and she never ceases to impress me with her energy and enthusiasm for the fans.

I’m heading off on holiday for the next ten days so it’s all good

Peter Cabaldi

Yes. That’s why i’m here.

The floof has gone! When I first saw this on the internet was concerned he was ill. Fortunately it's for his next acting project.

I’ve got a fan made 4K version of the original cinematic release (none of your 1996 new effects nonsense) to watch. It was made from a genuine film print of the movie and looks incredible.

John Levene on Series 10 Blu-ray, Katy to follow tomorrow. Both also to be added to the Dr Who chess set tomorrow Sarah Sutton. Still kicking myself for sticking with the purple, was going to shift to the yellow or red but thought it would be ok. It’s fine as I have her auto from many meetings but still annoyed at myself. Legend. So happy to finally get his auto after missing him at so many other events. This was brilliant. When I got to John he was having a conversation with Derrin Nesbitt and Garrick Hagon. Then their coffees arrived and it was great to just chat with these 3 legends. I love how John puts his jacket on to get selfies. A proper gent. Oh this pic was taken by Garrick too so that was a fun little bonus I’ll always remember when I look at it.

Oooh lucky you. Where are you off to?

I've just watched Star Wars (A New Hope to you youngsters) for the first time on blu ray...

One of my questions I asked he did not understand - I was very nervous which is why I probably swallowed 1 or 2 words, haha. However, no one said "ok, next" or whatever, no rush. And Hayden was like: "Can you please repeat your question?" He even stopped signing so that he could look at me while listening to what I was saying/asking. It happens very rarely that I loose my voice as I am used to meeting actors. But whenever something like this happens the celeb usually pretends to don't hear you - which makes it a weird situation. Hayden was so busy but it's fantastic how he was towards his fans. He really wanted to make sure that you do have your time with him and the chance to actually talk.

A few from Christopher’s talk. I particularly liked his Mickey Mouse shoes

Had a good day-met John Levene, George Roubicek, Derren Nesbitt and Christopher Lambert who were all very nice. Crew were all great too. Got mainly DVD covers signed; was hoping Derren would have a "Blue Max" pic on the table but I had my "Where Eagles Dare" cover as a backup. George signed a "You Only Live Twice" cover. I brought a red Sharpie for John to sign "inferno". I also got a 8 x 10 David Tennant auto from Sue & Mark. My daughter loved meeting CL and she found plenty of Anime stuff to splurge on at the stalls. Will just post a couple of pics.

I would think that any authentication service is only beneficial if you plan on selling your autographs. For me, it is all about meeting the guests and my memory of the day. I wouldn't need validation in this way. So as QS said this is a service that would need costs covered, resulting in pricing being increased elsewhere. Having seen how few people were using Beckett at collectormania last year while I queued for guests, I can't see the demand being there. Even if it was free I doubt there would be a tremendous increase in demand for the service.
