God, what a year so far. His son has confirmed that Christopher Benjamin has passed way after a fall. He had turned 90 in December

I think we are one or two big name guests yet to be announced for the spring show, there's some great guests already anounced mind

Given that he is always positive about the show over the years, when talk show hosts try and bait him into saying something negative, then I can see him doing a show.

More sad news to start the year off with, Barbara Clegg, writer of Enlightenment, passed away on the 7th at the age of 98

It would depend if they announced say two or three more people from Joy to the World, then it would make the dvd/bluray cover of the episode a little more attractive a prospect. I think like Josie Sedgewick-Davies, Phil is going to be a one off appearance

I think you know what I'm going to say. He'll be going in one of the few remaining spaces in the Diary. A good fallback in these situations

Big is always subjective anyway, a big guest for one person is anothers 'who are they' A fairer comparison would be rare signer and common signer I need John Simms to re-sign my season 3 as bizarrely i forgot to take the steelbook out of the sleeve, and he signed the card

I'd get the last few steelbooks signed should he re-appear, as there would be no guarantee of future appearances based on how frequently he appears

There's another combination set if any convention was that way inclined, the detectives of Death in Paradise, all whom apart from Kris Marchall have done Doctor Who. all three would be more than welcome Ben Miller, Ralf Little, & Don Gilet, and cover multiple Doctors

Ignoring Covid, I would have expected him to have done more events over the last few years, I know he didn't look like he enjoyed being there, but that could be down to an oncoming pandemic that had everyone on edge. Or he genuinely didn't enjoy it and has shied away from events I have nothing bad to say, he was friendly and engaging, so who knows

They need to get all four current era masters at one show, and Geoffrey Beevers, I cant say I've seen more than one in one convention before now. Now that would be a photoshoot and a half

Once again it falls on a weekend I'm working, so I'll be sending my Greatest Show in. And maybe another for Eric Saward

Same with the cast of Father Ted, Dermot Morgan, the actor who played Father Ted died on 28th Feb 1998, Frank Kelly, Father Jack, died 28th Feb 2016. So if I was Ardlen O'Hanlon I'd be keeping a low profile on 28th Feb 2034

For her to justify that then she needs to do more UK conventions

With Dean Hollingsworth being announced elsewhere, I'm only Mike Tucker away from replicating my greatest Show cover, just without personalisations. With Stephen Wyatt and Janet Hargeaves as added extras. So a nice start to the new year already
