Just seen this. A giant of classic who. RIP

Just finished Shadow of the Tomb Raider which was good but the story campaign felt a bit short. Have got a loan of COD Advanced Warfare on PS4 ( had played it on PS3 previously). Enjoying playing it again. The lead voice actor is unsurprisingly absent from the redesigned box artwork.

I remember enjoying that two-parter but in order to contribute more fully to this thread I'd need to go and watch the episodes in question again and tbh I'm too lazy to put the effort in. I enjoy reading the thread though!

Let's go retro once more. A 1967 crime/war thriller featuring Omar Sharif as a German Major (?) investigating the murder of a woman in 1942 Warsaw who happened to be a German agent. It becomes clear that the killer is one of 3 German Generals. Great cast: Donald Pleasance, Charles Gray and Peter O'Toole as the Generals, ably supported by Tom Courtney, Joanna Pettet, Patrick Allen and Ealing favourites John Gregson and Gordon Jackson as German officers (that took a bit of getting used to). Harry Andrews and Christopher Plummer make appearances too. A solid thriller-recommended.

"Dead Men" was pretty average, but it rekindled my interest in Scott. This is a much more straightforward biography and is proving to be a great read.

To me anyone under 50 is a youngling ☺

I've just watched Star Wars (A New Hope to you youngsters) for the first time on blu ray...

Had a good day-met John Levene, George Roubicek, Derren Nesbitt and Christopher Lambert who were all very nice. Crew were all great too. Got mainly DVD covers signed; was hoping Derren would have a "Blue Max" pic on the table but I had my "Where Eagles Dare" cover as a backup. George signed a "You Only Live Twice" cover. I brought a red Sharpie for John to sign "inferno". I also got a 8 x 10 David Tennant auto from Sue & Mark. My daughter loved meeting CL and she found plenty of Anime stuff to splurge on at the stalls. Will just post a couple of pics.

I've only ever had 2 autographs authenticated. If you can get a photo of the guest signing your item that's good provenance if you're planning to sell them.

John was an absolute delight-one of the nicest guests you could meet. So much so that I went back and got a second auto from him!

Great website Sid-love the NASA shirt!

Some interesting Doctor Who rumours flying around...

Good read so far-young Roger was quite the entrepreneur with his tailoring and sandwich ventures!

Apparently the Russians have made their own TV drama series about Chernobyl which suggests it was all a CIA plot!
