  6. The forum feels like an airport at 2am. The only real activity is the announcements but hardly anyone is around to hear them and those who are are the tired frequent fliers.

  7. I had an absolute blast yesterday at my first LFFC since 2016, when Dolph Lundgren and Rutger Hauer were my main guests. Chuck Norris, Cynthia Rothrock and Scott Adkins are names I thought I'd never see at a Showmasters event. When Chuck was announced I knew I had to travel to London. I travelled down to London from Glasgow on the overnight Megabus because accommodation was so expensive on the Saturday night (a gruelling trip with a two-hour delay but so worth it!) and will travel back by train to Scotland this afternoon. I have to say that I was lucky that none of the cancellations were big names for me. All six guests I met (photo shoots and autographs) were fantastic. I appreciate that many of the more 'traditional' SM fandoms were perhaps ot served as well as in previous years but this edition was right up my street.

  14. Hi so i'm creating this forum for doctor who fans who may wish to know what guests have been in or are involved with doctor who, some of course are obvious others not so much, which is where i come into the fray. first we have the 6th doctor Colin Baker, who if you're going for DVDs he's on "Arc of Infinity" where he played Commander Maxil, or anything from "The Caves of Androzani" to "The Trial of a Timelord" part 4 "The Ultimate foe" along with the recent surprise appearance in "the Power of the Doctor", Blu Ray wise you'd need either Seasons 22 or 23 as those have both been released, along with a cavalcade of Big Finish Audio plays, those daring may also wish for the Original audio CD of "The Macra Terror" to which he provided Narration, he is on the weekend and will cost you £20 for an Autograph. next we have 7th Doctor Sylvester McCoy, from the DVD front he's present on "Time and the Rani" to "Survival" along with appearing in "the Movie" and the recent surprise appearance in "the Power of the Doctor", from the Blu ray line two of his 3 seasons have been released those being 24 & 26, of course he's also appeared in a number of Audios for Big Finish, he is £20 and is appearing every day, like his younger (and Larger) self, i believe he also offers a in costume photo for £36. Lastly for this introductory post we have Ernie Hudson, star of "Ghostbusters" the iconic screen legend appeared in a single episode of "Torchwood: Miracle Day" the fourth season of the spin off, playing "Stuart Owens" in "The Middle man", for his set you'll need either a copy of this series or a complete Torchwood Boxset, hes appearing every day and is £40 for an autograph, but also offers a diamond pass option for £105 for the Friday and Saturday along with one for £115 on the sunday which along with the photo and autograph includes access to the talk.

  16. People have always expressed disappointment over guests on here, I think the difference is that there used to be active moderators to curb too much complaining. Those mods were also responsible for a lot of the type topics. This place never really bounced back after Queen Sindel's departure for example.

  17. I don't usually go for autographs that I haven't acquired in person, but I won a personalised John C. McGinley autograph a while back and it's just arrived today. Beyond thrilled, he's one of my childhood idols!

  18. I think there are two reasons why this forum is dead these days. Of course, covid is one as that caused some controversial decisions by some companies that put people off, but I also think the loss of the well known mods on here had a big impact as well.

  21. I know what you mean. Although there is a range of guests this is looking like the second event this year where I am not really tempted - although there are a few on the 'would be nice if I was there' list. I am ever hopeful that the winter event will, for me, be more appealing - especially as it's close to the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who. In case anyone is in any doubt who I would like to see announced I'll just leave this here.....

  23. Cynthia is a goddess, and incredibly underrated. She's easily as important as JCVD, the difference being she didn't get a shot as a leading lady in a major large budget movie. She's very similar to Steve James in that regard - had as much charisma and ability as anyone working at that time, but never got a real shot at the big time. Very excited to meet her - the first time I saw one of her movies I was 11 years old. She's both beautiful and badass. Well done, Showmasters, you've done a great thing here, I'll be asking her to sign multiple items for sure. I even have a factory sealed copy of China O'Brien on VHS, which I will bring along.

  24. Who Actors : David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, Alex Kingston, Sasha Dhawan, Jo Martin, Jenna Coleman, Peter Capaldi, Paul McGann, and i don't know the way upcoming actors work, but possibly celebrate the new era and invite Ncuti Gatwa + Millie Gibson if they're finished filming S14 by then. Other : Bella Ramsay, Pedro Pascal (although you will be packed), Troy Baker, James McAvoy, Ruth Wilson, Amir Wilson, Dafne Keen, Tom Sturridge. Random Thought : Possibly any of the showrunners for Doctor Who eg Russel T Davies, Chris Chibnall, Steven Moffat.

  26. So, having bought a diamond pass for my daughter, for Matt Smith, I wanted to drop a few bits of feedback. First, extremely helpful people. Everyone went the extra mile. Thank you to all of the staff. Couldn't fault anyone. She pointed this out as her biggest plus of the day (besides meeting Matt) - quote "the people are all so friendly." So, great job everyone. I'd also say that the organization of the event was a *notable* step up. The summer event was carnage - this was much better. Lastly, Matt Smith himself was great - very kind, took a moment with everyone, and he remembered my daughter for the photoshoot - must be a very difficult and busy day, and he nailed it. She was absolutely over the moon to meet 'her Doctor'. So top marks all. Obviously this is no longer a cheap hobby, but overall it was a great experience, so well done. Look forward to next year, and happy to reach deep for the right guests next time.

  31. Beg to differ, been to enough of these cons over the last 20 years to know. You’re assuming a long and laboured discussion about each item to be signed, which SM staff are quick to stamp out. This is how it goes: Quick greeting, several items passed conveyor belt style to the guest, signed in quick succession, job done, thanks given and attendee on their way. So to recap - one single greeting, multiple items signed, thanks and cheerio. Negligible signing time or discussion involved. Next customer please, by the way no reason for attendees to hang around all day to have additional items signed causing congestion. This new way means attendees have to hang around, go back with the VQ, creating even more queuing, additional greet time and discussion, inevitably slowing down the process unnecessarily whilst creating general annoyance for con-goers all around. Re DP’s not being fulfilled, ultimately if people haven’t got an item signed from the DP, this more likely comes down to SM overselling them. The upshot of the new rule means that you not only have an undervalued DP in terms of SM overselling it, but then under-delivering in terms of VFM. This leaves a nasty taste even before you consider the legality of arbitrarily changing the terms/conditions post sale of the DP’s. As the late, great Stan Lee (whose last U.K. appearance was so bungled and oversold by SM, thus giving rise to the DP) said: ‘Nuff Said.

  35. Okays so i realised i havent updated in a bit and there has been a few guests, both on the obscure side of things, one more obvious the other less so. Firstly we have todays announcement which brings us Dichen Lachman, who was in the controversial "Torchwood: Miracle Day" (Personally i love this season, not everyone's taste) she was in the second episode of the series and played "Lyn Peterfield" if you'd like a brief recap of her character she gets her neck broken by Rex and then walks around with her head on backwards, shes appearing both days of the event and will be £35 for an autograph, for her sets you'll need either a copy of "Torchwood: Miracle Day" or a copy of the Complete Torchwood Series, although from experience Miracle day as a standalone blu ray was near impossible to find. next on the less obvious side we have Lee Sulivan, a comic writer whose had a lot of work within the Doctor who canon of works, mainly with comic work but he does however have works on DVDs and Blurays, his character of Abslom Daak or "Dalek Killer" appeared in a single cameo via a piece of his art work in the series 8 episode "Time Heist" so a copy of that is in the cards for a possible signing, he appears as himself in interview form on two DVDS for the "Striped for Action" series of documentaries, for both the 7th and 8th doctor, which requires "Delta and the Bannerman" and "The Movie" Special Edition respectively, however if youre looking or a more direct contribution i would point you in the direction of "Shada", for he contributed work to the 2003 webcast version of the story, which is present on the initial DVD (That uses the VHS 92" Edit) apart of "The Legacy Collection", the Steelbook of "Shada" released in 2017, its important to note this version is not included on either the DVD or Standard Blu Ray of the 17" edit as it was Exclusive to the steelbook and is now present on the recent Season 17 boxset, as a comic writer he's not listed for a day however nor a price, but if i remember he's £10.

  39. Totally agree this was a vast improvement on the summer event - it probably helps that it's smaller. The guests I met were all lovely and really seemed to be enjoying the experience. And it worked far better to have the popular guests in the booths from a queue management point of view. The crew were all super friendly and all my photo shoots went very smoothly. At least you could hear the batch number announcements . You will never be able to stop people congregating in the area. I had a really fantastic weekend. Thanks to ShowMasters I have now met all the Doctors from Tom Baker to Jodie Whittaker. Now if there could just be an announcement for Ncuti Gatwa.....

  42. It's quite an allegation for sure, but it's true. I have a DP for Matt and that was definitely changed after I bought it.
