My experience seems to echo everyone else's here. Agree with Mae that whatever that generator was, it was most unpleasant to queue alongside on Saturday morning to get your Diamond Pass(es). I only met Michael Sheen and he was great, and May Calamawy who was quiet but nice. As for photoshoot handling, any largeish photo shoot queue needs a volunteer who has at least one of these attributes: a) confidence b) loud c) tall d) decisive. Unfortunately the chap in the hat managing the Michael Sheen photoshoot (AM, area B) appeared to possess none of these qualities, but I wish him the best of luck next time - without volunteers we don't get a show, it's a thankless job like football referee. It's a learning experience for volunteers just like it is for customers visiting such an event for the first time.

This site is a bit out of date because there was a tweet with 2 or 3 'new' guests for the Spring show, including Sean Young.

I met Tony at the May 2014 Collectormania Event. He was polite but quiet and signed his pic "life is a picnic". RIP Tony.

Of the 'big 4' guests today I only met Michael Sheen. Had already met the lovely Natalie Dormer in 2017 and although I have met all the Doctor Who's from Tom Baker to Peter Capaldi, decided against an Ncuti Diamond Pass as I'm not really a mega Dr Who fan oddly enough! Did enjoy Sex Education though - maybe another time. Clearly he was going to be massively popular and I hope all those who had Diamond Passes got to meet him - clearly those who took a chance going without a DP had no chance today. I agree with an earlier comment that implied these big guests were not positioned in a sensible place, but I think this event is now clearly hamstrung by the ongoing renovations at this venue, which look like outlasting all of us, let alone Showmasters.

Great to meet Michael today, what a smashing bloke. Admittedly I was Diamond Batch 1 so saw during the early part of the day, and he was happy to answer the odd question in a considered fashion and was not rushing people and neither were his team.

Hope she makes it this time!

Well that would be most unusual....surely not?

Fantastic guest. I'm going to need a bigger wallet.

Enjoyed meeting Mark Lester, Linda Hayden and Madeline Smith today. Looking forward to the June event.

Wow, well done SM!

Excellent to get a Withnail guest. Worth smoking a celebratory Camberwell carrot.

Sir Derek was very popular today, maybe second only to Karen Gillan. I had a very low VQ ticket but at 2pm was told I wouldn't be able to get in the queue till after his photoshoot finished around 3.45. Unfortunately I needed to get away (and then ended up slap bang in the middle of the protest march around Grosvenor Place!), but I did meet him once before in 2011.

Yeah nice guy, I'm amazed he was open queue by lunchtime, I guess the price put people off - surely people haven't fallen out of love with Game of Thrones already?! He was pretty much the main man and I know the last 2-3 episodes were pretty disappointing but up until then it was 10/10 all the way.

Finally got to meet Karen today who was a guest at the first LFCC I attended in 2011. Super friendly and very, very popular. I can't imagine she got to VQs.

Very nice diamond pass gifts today I thought, a Police Box notebook (good size, handy for work!) and a flask (Karen Gillan and Kit Harington) respectively.
