Peter Capaldi Fan

Hoping to meet @natedammit but he keeps running away!

Donna Noble - the best temp in Chiswick (aka Catherine Tate)

Met her in 2019. One of the loveliest people. Very funny.

Would make another great addition to my TARDIS book.

My only event of the year but worth the wait. I had a relatively quiet but fun weekend. All the guests I met were very friendly and seemed to enjoy being there and meeting their fans. Some great cosplayers again. Far too many to mention but it's always a joy to see you. The crew were great. All the ones I met were very helpful. Some of the more popular photo shoots and auto queues got a bit chaotic but that was down to too many people descending on an area before they needed to. Happens every time and the crew always do their best. Biggest shout outs go to (and I'm sorry to say I didn't get their names) the guy at the Olivia Cooke auto queue who let me join slightly early (up to vq 90 and I had 94 so sue me. Pays to be friendly and polite to get a good pay back). And an extra special mention to the photographer at the green screen where patient and perseverance got those who chose to regenerate the photo they wanted even though the photographer lost the will to live! I would also like to thank ShowMasters for remembering this weekend was about more than comic con. There was a poignant pause at 11.00 for both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. Looking forward to joining you all for one (or maybe more) events next year.

And finally 2 new additions to my TARDIS book - Derek Jacobi and Karen Gillan. Really pleased to get these

David Gooderson- Davros in Destiny of the Daleks

Olivia Cooke. I was a big fan of Bates Motel and was pleased to get to meet her on VQ as she was really busy.

Vernon Dobtcheff.

Matthew Waterhouse who played Adric in Doctor Who

Really hope to meet him. This would be an amazing addition to my TARDIS book.

Brilliant. Diamond pass bought

Paul McGann Peter Davison Peter Capaldi - long shot Tom Baker - double long shot Ncuti Gatwa - triple long shot

Bit of a slow start on the autograph front this year but got a signed copy of Tom Hanks latest book

I know what you mean. Although there is a range of guests this is looking like the second event this year where I am not really tempted - although there are a few on the 'would be nice if I was there' list. I am ever hopeful that the winter event will, for me, be more appealing - especially as it's close to the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who. In case anyone is in any doubt who I would like to see announced I'll just leave this here.....

It was nice to catch up for a chat. Until the next time

Totally agree this was a vast improvement on the summer event - it probably helps that it's smaller. The guests I met were all lovely and really seemed to be enjoying the experience. And it worked far better to have the popular guests in the booths from a queue management point of view. The crew were all super friendly and all my photo shoots went very smoothly. At least you could hear the batch number announcements . You will never be able to stop people congregating in the area. I had a really fantastic weekend. Thanks to ShowMasters I have now met all the Doctors from Tom Baker to Jodie Whittaker. Now if there could just be an announcement for Ncuti Gatwa.....

And 4 new additions to my TARDIS book David Tennant and Matt Smith Katy Manning and Jodie Whittaker

Katy Manning

Harry Lloyd as Baines in the Doctor Who episodes Human Nature/ The Family of Blood

Julian Glover from For Your Eyes Only - the first Bond film I saw on the big screen.

There is no right or wrong answer. It depends on your individual schedule what works best for you. If you are trying for low VQ tickets I would suggest going in first then get your DP passes. If not then get your DP first. Personally I pick up the DPs first.

Did you not get a barcode for each DP in the same email? Agreed it doesn't specify which is which but I definitely have 3 different barcodes for my 3 DPs. I had to scroll through the email to find them.

1 week to go
