My simple thoughts are, oh for god sake, I didn’t realise he was 80 but still
-
So I’ve just discovered something awful, as it turns out one of my CDs is signed by Gareth Roberts which I now hate, but I can’t replace as it’s got several other names on it, guess Colin Baker is signing over that
-
Given his family minus his brother were there I can’t imagine there was any stopping him and with his wife just next to him even if she was signing herself it definitely meant he was in good hands, but he shouldn’t have been allowed to attend, and the knock on effect would mean no Shirley but I could live with it personally.
-
I think most events have enough decency to them that they wouldn’t knowingly book guests who aren’t capable of signing or aren’t there altogether, it really in a number of ways hurts their reputation and can’t be upsetting knowing that these people who may just want to be there to see fans aren’t being told that maybe they need to slow it down and are being exploited
-
Funnily enough I got reminded of something as I accidentally got sent back to the first page when the only guests announced for said convention were Baker, McCoy and Ernie Hudson, which had me both laughing and annoyed that Hudson never turned up to any event, good thing I never paid for a diamond pass, even then my plan was to try and chance it on one of the days with cash to avoid paying more than I felt was worth it
-
I have Carter and Stevens on said set, but not getting Hobbs was a mistake and Conrad was at a time when both A. Money wasn’t as good and B. As we’ve often said probably would have been too much on the old soul.
-
I’ve got the event booked as John is signing soon after Season 7 is released which makes him the primary goal for the set as so many people are gone, only two companions out of 6 are left, no main villains of any description, most of who you can hope for from Season 7 is UNIT soldiers, one director and one floor manager best my memory
-
any further and we'd be in ruins, but yeah now adds some credibility to the set, its just a shame because now i can't get the principal guest star on the set because she's passed away and the cover is signed and as is the booklet. Its the same how i now need Michael Killgarriff on my "Frontier in Space" as i have Thorne on that, so i'll have both First and Second Ogrons, is Rick Lester Still alive because then i can have all three credited Ogrons. if anything it just makes choosing sets from Seasons 8,9&10 tricky because Katy Manning is in all of them and given how frequent she is at events i try to find something signed by a deceased individual, if you search any DVD cover or booklet from those periods online you end up with Katy Manning on half of them, to where i've had a browse and 9/10 Manning or Levene, occasionally a combination of the two, but even then i prefer getting Manning in person for her stories about each serials filming, specifically learning she and Jon Pertwee went on holiday together and Jon may have been in drag during said Holiday.

Get my coat as well I just found a booklet for “The Dæmons” signed by Stephen Thorne and Terrance Dicks (well Katy Manning as well but she’s already on the cover with Levene and Franklin) so I went Azal one hell of a find… but seriously another good find which I think has pushed that set into the same level for me as “the Time monster” the only other set I have Manning, Levene and Franklin.
-
Yeah problem was it was my bag of 6 years and had a very important and worthless to anyone but myself pin badge on it
-
Well in a turn of good fortune (after having my empty bag nicked at work) I’ve managed to bag myself a copy of “Day of the Daleks” signed by Katy Manning and Terrance Dicks, and an insert of “Frontier in Space” signed by Stephen Thorne not the story or even particular item I would have chosen for Mr Thorne but even then what can I say beggars aren’t allowed to be choosers, being honest if I could find Thorne on an insert for “the Daemons” now that would be a score and a half
-
In so many commentaries have I heard Thomas be referred to as the BBCs resident Welshman, and that they used the actor they did for Driver evans in “The web of fear” presumably because Thomas was busy that week. kwok had one hell of a career with Doctor who arguably being the smallest blip on it compared to everything else he did.
-
I admit I’m not completely versed in that mess of what happened with Joss, I just assumed it was the industry standard of harassing female stars, but I suppose that’s not standard
-
Oh yeah there is a lot that could have changed history for the worse, makes me wonder if Troughton was serious or not as even in the 1960s there was a serious notion that blackface was significantly wrong, even then the notorious “black and white minstrel show” was being called for cancellation except the BBC producer said “why ruin everyone’s fun on account of a few” or something along the same lines. Talons is somewhat indefensible on many points I feel the dialogue by the contemporary’s and even Magnus Greel is appropriate for setting, but not for the show, Leelas usage should have been met by immediate scolding by the Doctor and the use of an actor in Yellow Face was a horrible choice that is inexcusable, although I did once joke that Burt Kwork must have been busy at that time. ”the Celestial Toymaker” has the one line which even the BBC has removed and apologised for, the choice of outfit for the Toymaker may seem a bit out there but I see it more as stock given John Wiles had blow the budget on “the Ark” but the term Celestial which does have meanings in racial language was always intended to be a reference to his power not his attire.

It’s upsetting that despite it being confirmed that he did what he did both by Anthony Rapp and by Spacey himself events decided he was worth having, does say a lot when he was one of a few that was proven.
