  1. I've noticed a definite reduction in the number of "over the table" photos in recent years which is very disappointing. The cynic in me might suggest this has come in since the number of paid photo opportunities has increased.....

  2. I only popped in for a couple of hours on Sunday and despite the weather managed to get all the autos I wanted and had time to browse the stalls.

     

    I would particularly like to thank SM for maintaining their policy of charging £10 for some of the guests. In these difficult financial times finance is a genuine issue for many of us and having been to other shows where prices all seem to start at £15 even for actors with small roles and very thin cv's it's great to see SM still offering a considerable number of guests at £10. It certainly does encourage me to meet some of them and I've had some great meetings as a result. This time round Richard Hope proved an absolute gentleman, very happy to talk for ages and seemed genuinely pleased to discuss his time on Doctor Who - £10 well spent!

     

    Long may the SM £10 pricing policy continue.

  3. I went along on both days and had a blast.

     

    All of the guests I met (mainly but not exclusively the Doctor Who guests) were excellent and it was great that so many were doing over the table photos.

     

    I thought the organisation was generally excellent and although the heat was a pain I don't think SM can be blamed for a freak heat wave in October.

     

    Particular thanks to the pit boss at the David Tennant signing area who resolved my friend's problem over her lost VQ ticket in splendid fashion. It really was much appreciated.

     

    Overall I liked the venue, was able to get all the autographs I wanted and loved the guest line up - so its a big thumbs up from me!

  4. My first guest was Alan Ruck back at C3 in May 2003 and I met Billy Boyd and Andy Serkis later the same day.

     

    Took a while to pluck up the courage but as Alan had no queue I finally wandered up and was rewarded with a great chat from a top bloke.

     

    However, if I knew then how much money this hobby would subsequently cost I'm not sure I'd have done it!
