I took my daughters aged 7 & 11 to EMS on Sunday and they were very keen to meet Caitlin. They got autographs and photo-shoot with her but went back to see her numerous times during the day. She chatted to them about her experiences on doctor who and what it was like being in the programme. This was Caitlins first event and she was great.

We had a great time met a number of celebrities . The tables were not too busy and some of celebrities who did not have queues called over to my daughters. They also got to see David as he went into his photoshoot.

There were too few Doctor Who items in the auction, in fact just one. - Peter Davison signed photo. What was really disappointing was that there was a prop from Sarah Jane Adventures (Bottle of Bubbleshock) which my daughters really wanted. The Bidding went up to £10 and I then tried to bid £12 however the person doing the auction did not see me although another member of the crew did and pointed at me. It was sold to the £10 bidder. My daughters were really disappointed and moaned all day about it.

Thanks for all the info. I did guess David Tennant would be a very longshot despite my daughters ambitions. We will probably try to get some other autographs on the day.

Only if they are not busy and there is no queue of fans waiting to get their auto/photo. There's thousands of attendees who are paying to get autos and photos with the guests. Tenant will be very popular and have a big queue of auto hunters who have paid. For the less popular low key guests you might be able to stroll over to them and say hi at their desk...IF there are no people queing. I realise that people who are paying for autographs etc will have priority and I wouldn't want to push into to this. Just wondered if you can see the celebrities whilst they are doing this. Or is it like Santa and you can't see them until you get to front of queue and go into the grotto?

This is my first event and I am taking my two daughters aged 7 & 11. We are mainly going as we are all doctor who fans and my daughters are really keen to meet some of the doctor cast. Especially David Tennant, I have booked standard entry tickets and doctor who talk tickets, but nothing else. My question is really can you meet the celebrities without having photo shoot / autographs as to do this would work out very expensive.
