Some of my meetings on the Sunday. Not easy to scan with a phone.

Finally organised myself to get my pictures together. Cassidy Mcclincy. Great guest to meet. Greeting everyone with a hug and must have taken a dozen selfies on my phone. This is the one I looked most normal. Patrick O'Kane. Had to add him to list of people after last weeks Doctor Who. Tosin Cole. Caitlin Blackwood

So apparently SM will have LCCS return in 2021 according to their Facebook announcement

As it stands: Sacha Dhawan (Photo and Auto) Robbie Coltrane (Diamond, still can't get over the fact he's coming!) Colin Baker (Photo and Auto) Sylvester McCoy (Photo and Auto) Clark Gregg (Diamond) Nick Frost (Auto) Julian Glover (Auto) Natalia Tena (Auto)

Queueing indoors is a luxury and not something you should expect. As we say in Norway "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing".

Given Clark’s announcement, some more MCU guests would be awesome (some more likely than others )! Chris Evans Chadwick Boseman Tom Holland Sebastian Stan Anthony Mack Robert Downey Jr. Chris Hemsworth Jeremy Renner Mark Ruffalo Tom Hiddleston Zoe Saldana Chris Pratt Paul Rudd Hayley Atwell Pom Klementieff

Yeah I think so

I went to the post office last week and they made me queue up outside. I asked them why, and they gave me some cockamamie story about being there 3 hours before they actually opened. Shocking.

Also Dr Cute. He's also canon.

Far too early for a countdown.

Only 144 days to go

You're forgetting all the cosplayers as well. They are cannon now.

As the show is now coming to an end how about some of the cast of Hawaii Five-O? Scott Caan, Jorge Garcia, Grace Park, Daniel Dae Kim & Alex O'Loughlin would all be pretty cool

*looks around at the Summer forum, moves back in and settles down*

After what we have seen from Chibnall so far I personally think he bit off way more than he can chew. I would have been skeptical had Davies or Moff tried. But Chibnall… I hope for the show's sake I am wrong.

I think this is what is known in marathon terms as "hitting the wall". But the finish line is in site.

Definitely Sean Bean

Jon Bon Jovi Dave Grohl

Just wanna say well done to Jason and all the guys at showmasters another fantastic con completed. I am already looking forward to the next one and planning my guests though I was wondering what's going on with Collectomania MK as not seen any announcements for it.

Gah, lucky! I’m determined to get Chris Evans and Tom Holland one day after stupidly missing them by being either a day too early or too late when the two of them were in Edinburgh.

Yes, I think all of them would be a good start I have 5 of them.

Seconded Black Sails

Final thought. Personally think The Timeless Child could of worked better (and been less controversial) if it was revealed to be The Master rather than The Doctor.

Met her yesterday. Signed my funko of jason. She’s a sweetheart. Hoping she will be here again in future.

So now this is where we will all linger for the upcoming months

Also Rowan Atkinson, Richard E Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant and Joanna Lumley. They are all definitely canon.

Could be the unused hall was used for something. I've been in for Setup once and there was Vehicle traffic in the most unexpected Areas.

You can not upgrade components of a Diamond Pass. The package is as is.

if we're going that way i suggest Richie Sambora

I was worried that I wouldn't get a low enough VQ ticket to get his autograph, as I knew I wouldn't be getting to the event until around 11am on the Saturday. I was staggered that there was no queue whatsoever and I just walked straight up and got the autograph. A pleasant enough experience, but he wasn't the most chatty and engaging of the guests. Priced at £30 which was one of the more expensive, but not unreasonable for a New Series Who regular. I must have walked past his desk around a dozen times over the course of the next six hours and the situation was unchanged everytime I looked. Every other New Series Who regular that I have met at previous Showmaster events have been Diamond / lengthy VQ ticket queues. On the positive side his Photo shoot queue was a least a decent length.

To be honest I should have been done with it ages ago, but I've been really bad with it, and watching series 12 instead, so it's taken me far longer than it should have. Looking back, I watched An Unearthly Child on August 8th, 2018, so it'll have taken me nearly two years to do it. That is kind of scary to think about.

If I’m honest, I’m actually surprised at how poor Tosin and Mandip’s performances have been. I remember the two of them being in Hollyoaks a few years ago and they weren’t bad actors. Of course, a trashy soap opera (which I only still tune into as a guilty pleasure because of how long I’ve watched it, honest! ) is perhaps a bad comparison to make but I do remember Mandip’s character in particular having some very dark storylines and she did a good job at portraying them. Tosin’s character was more of a comic relief sort but he gave a pretty good performance during one of his last scenes. From what I personally know of these two, in my opinion think the writing has failed them both tremendously. That, and having to act out bad material with a put-on Yorkshire accent. I’m not sure about Mandip but I know Tosin is from an area within London so I don’t understand why Chibnall chose Yorkshire of all places for this era when surely it would’ve been easier and probably more beneficial to the cast to stick with London as the companions’ home city.

I watched it live and have now processed what I witnessed and I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I did like the episode, it was gutsy I agree, some things that happened I’m not sure about still, one thing in particular, but overall I think it was a good finale and I think Sacha Dhawan’s performance as the Master was incredible!

OK, so I haven't used Flickr for ages so don't know if this will work but this is my album link for today's pics

Well that's me done. I am now on my way back North (well outside the M25 which counts as the same thing). This was the first time I decided to stay in London. It made it so much easier. That was just an awesome weekend courtesy of Showmasters. Bit wet and cold waiting to get in on Saturday but once in let the fun begin. All of the guests I met were lovely. I really wouldn't want to single one out for a special mention. The crew in charge of the busier guests were helpful and friendly. Had great fun with the photos. The crew in both A and B were excellent. Attended three good talks - Samantha Bond, Doctor Who and Horror. They were all good fun. Got to have a chat with a couple of forum members @Chris1970 and @maegurwen. Hi guys. Apologies to anyone I saw but didn't recognise. Thank you Showmasters for another fabulous experience. See you in July.

This amazing lady is pure energy and warmth. Cassady McClincy

Final photo of the weekend is Robert Englund. This was great fun. Robert chose the pose for each person. Good to know I am someone he would rather hug than murder.

Some from today:

I was 566 and got in at 16.45, but a few mins later he either went on a break or left so I doubt he went past 600

So I'm booked for Saturday now Clark Gregg

Updated: Ben Browder (Auto) Robbie Coltrane (DP)
