Thankyou all so much for your replies, they've made me feel so much better! I was begining to wonder if I was missing something or being an idiot.
Have a laugh at my expense! On a link for the convention I saw that Philip Glenister was attending and nearly passed out with excitement and then I realised that that was a different years convention. To be honest I don't think I could have coped with having the opportunity to meet both.
Maybe that will be another year!
