  1. I can’t remember who it was now but thank you to everyone on here who agreed to email Rubbertoe replicas and add their name to the waiting list for the 12th sonic, I have had an email saying they are making some more and I was able to order one last night!

  2. So as life enters this strange new phase I now find myself going into work leaving a very long household 'to do' list for my partner and my Mum (who lives with us). Making sure I get my daily exercise (more than I usually do). Getting embarrassingly used to all the socially distanced love being shown to the NHS. But spare a thought for all the others having to work. Especially staff in the supermarkets. I found a cheery thank you to the self service checkout staff and security goes a long way. Keep safe.

  3. It's only natural for anyone to be concerned what's going on just now. I just feel that no one can speculate what is going on in 2/3 months time, when there is so much uncertainty about the next few days. All you can do is plan as if an event is going ahead. Book your accommodation, book your travel. Plan on it going ahead. I would use the same caution I use for any event that is more than a few weeks in advance, regardless of the current situation . Just incase MY circumstances change and I can no longer go. As tempting as it is to book using "advanced saver rates" to save a few £'s. I don't. I've had my accommodation booked for Collectormania in Birmingham since sometime last year. But I can cancel it anytime up to and including 24hrs before. Obviously my entry tickets/photos ops etc are a different story. If I cancel then i'm out of pocket.

  4. The opposite happened with us. Told there'd be no change at all, people complained, and now we're doing skeleton staff on alternative weeks. Hope your meeting is productive tonight. lol

  5. The Witchfinders - I am going to be positive. Alan Cumming was suitably camp as King John. Bradley Walsh was great. A good proportion of the comedy worked. That's all I can think of. Overall 4/10

  7. As we're in quarantine it might encourage me to get this done a little faster. The Witchfinders- The winning streak ends. The writing is sadly back to the average for this series. Jodie returns to being annoying, and the companions are wasted once more. The most unfortunate thing about this one is that it has clear potential. It could have been something great. The writing absolutely ruins that though. There's nothing to the leads, and the supporting characters are bland. The only stand out is Alan Cumming as King James, who I thought was very good. The villain element doesn't work at all here. We've seen witches in modern Who before, back in series 3, but they were so much more interesting there. We got to see them battle William Shakespeare through the power of words. That's an interesting concept which makes use of a historical figure effectively. King James feels like he's just here for comedies sake, and the "witches" (I say it like that as they're just like any other alien threat) aren't approached at an interesting angle, thus making them wholly forgettable. Another unforgivable sin committed by this episode is that it's just so boring. I'd much rather watch something bad than something boring, but this episode provides both. I wasn't interested in any of the characters or the plot itself, so I was bored for most of it because I simply didn't care what was happening. The main positives I have for this episode are in regard to the technical aspects. The episode looks very pretty, the costume design was nice and the editing was fine (the pacing suffers because of the poor script). Overall- 4/10. This episode at least had the courtesy to try to tell a story over forcing a political ideology in my face, and would you believe me if I said it wasn't written by Chibnall? Shocking isn't it, how some writers actually try to put story first. There are still some moments and quotes which stick out as overtly political, but no where near as badly as in other episodes. Although the vast majority of the comedy didn't work, I already said I liked King James, and I'll admit that Graham's Tarantino joke still got a laugh out of me.

  11. Well guys... it's been a fun time on here. But now the time has come for StuartG and me to step down as an Admin and a Moderator and move on. We have always loved helping people and making the experience better for everyone at the shows. Also we have made some great friends on here. Raylenth, Nate, WrongName, Broo, wjbleming and a ton of others that would take too much time to name. But all good things come to an end. I'm sure Stuart will say something later too when he gets a chance. We are a team, discussed this step and made the decision together. It hasn't been an easy decision, but we feel that we are making the right choice. I have no clue when someone will remove our ranks on here, but we are stepping down as of me typing this. We won't be gone from events and you may find us on here on occasion to chat, but we will no longer be working for Showmasters. See you around hopefully! *hugs everyone*
