Russell is one of the top contenders on a list of people I want but I know that’s a borderline impossibility now, the man is 97 closer to 98, I hope he’s not suffering as id love for him to be the first centurion companion as it would be the most appropriate.
Padbury is one I sadly missed out on as she was meant to attend in 2020 but pulled out, according to Frazer Hines it was back issues and I’m happy to take his word on that, I know the two are friends, so I’d love both her and Frazer to attend together, it’s a shame you can’t do the new dates, I fortunately work on a zero hour contract so time off is effectively me saying I’m not bothered to work and I’m golden, and if anything I have the least usage of requested off days at my place of work so a date change is never an issue for me, I can take days off to do the fantom events whenever I want, but I do prioritise LFCC given it’s a bigger event and usually has more guests, not that I think there’s been some overlap.
really the guests I want badly are William Russell, Carol Ann Ford, Jean Marsh, Anneke Wills, Frazer Hines, John Levene and Wendy Padbury so I can finish the cover of my lost in time project with the 10th space likely going to David Graham if I ever meet him, anyone else who just happens to be in those 18 odd episodes goes on the back, which is also running out of space so into the booklet soon enough lmao
