That would be me! Thanks for the positive feedback, it always makes the show that little bit more special when you recogniseyourself in a "Thank You Thread". Always try my best, and apologies if Gollum freaked anyone out at all ;-)
Sabreyeager - Gollum was amusing and a nice distraction when you're standing in a queue feeling a little nervous about going in to meet a celeb face to face FYI, after you asked my friend I was with if she was cosplaying Abby she went home and had a go at doing it, so maybe you'll get lucky next time ;P
Really excellent friendly guests and all the crew I spoke to were cheerful and helpful. Emmett Skilton and Craig Parker were above and beyond in terms of friendliness and appearing to enjoy their experience as much as the public, you should definitely try to get them again for another convention! All in all it was a great convention, thank you.
