Samphirette

There's actors in the original V I would still like to meet: Jeff Yagher Michael Ironside Faye Grant Marc Singer June Chadwick Looking forward to meeting Bruce Davidson this month :)

I would love to have his signature on a Goonies print. He's grown into some great roles since that film too.

Kurt Sutter who writes and stars in Sons of Anarchy has written on twitter that he wants to visit London and combine in to meet SOA fans. I would love to meet any of the main cast of SOA. To name only a few: Kurt's real-life wife Katey Sagal who I've loved since Married with Children and has of course voiced Leela in Futurama Charlie Hunnam (who has also recently been in Pacific Rim) Ryan Hurst (who has been in a number of shows including Medium) and naturally Ron Perlman who has been in so many scif/cult shows/films.

Loved this event over the weekend. Alexis Denisof was fabulous, lovely, polite. Excellent guest, as were they all. Never did get the lottery numbers from Jeff Ricketts though ! Spontaneously bought a photo with Brad Bell and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Husbands. The whole event has made me raid my piggy bank to go again and upgrade to silver next year.

Would love to meet some of the main cast from NCIS. Dexter is great. My current favourites that would definitely draw me in are Body of Proof and Perception. Think you could tag Sherlock into this mix almost too.

I would love to meet actors/actresses from Broadwalk Empire but I wonder if the programme is too niche to attract the amount of attendees needed to put on a whole weekend event. People may love the show, but might not be convention goers.

Robert Sheehan would be great. Loved him in Misfits and he was so different in Mortal Instruments that I doubletook on several occasions.

Shocking! No mention of V in the opening post. I'm crossing my fingers for a V photo :)

The professional photoshoots taken are now also instant prints on high quality printers so you can walk out of the shoot immediately with your photograph. Remember to bring something with you to carry them in afterwards so you don't get them bent on the journey home. As others have pointed out there maybe a number of reasons that guests are unable to carry out a daily amount of over the table shoots (migranes etc - but maybe able to have the lighting set to something more manageable in a staged, restricted timing, photoshoot)

All the travelling information is here http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/united-kingdom/hilton-birmingham-metropole-hotel-BHXMETW/maps-directions/index.html Even I've walked it before on crutches, I wouldn't recommend it if you're in pain/unfit as there's not a lot of options for sitting down en route. However for physically able people it's absolutely doable through the NEC. But the courtesy bus is the lifesaver, but bear in mind it only arrives/departs twice an hour.

I've been the venue a number of times driving and there are quite a number of spaces and different areas of parking within the Hilton complex. According to the website on the left hand side of this link there are 600 spaces. It also mentions their car parking fee http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/united-kingdom/hilton-birmingham-metropole-hotel-BHXMETW/maps-directions/index.html

Having spotted Carl on the Stepping Out dance programme this week, I understand the change of day if he's dancing live on a Saturday. His girlfriend looked like she was having a great time, but he seemed very out of his comfort zone. Hope they continue to stay in the show long enough to ask him how it's going at Boxingmania

Some of the boxing guest prices have already been added to the boxingmania page http://boxingmania.co.uk/guests.html

This. I definitely would have paid £10 for a 45 minutes talk. Definitely a great opportunity to ask questions about a number of films. Many people were asking him about 2012, Saw and Predator which were all scif/horror related (not the expected Lethal Weapon). It maybe that the people who wanted to see him clashed with photos going on.

I was sitting to the left of Danny on Sunday and he had a guest with him on the right hand side.

Massive Events were only advertising 1 person or 2 person occupancy on http://massiveevents.../info.php?venue The Hilton Birmingham only has family rooms in the double executive rooms in general as these are the rooms with sofa beds and are for children as the additional guests. The twin executive rooms have an actual sofa that does not convert. If they are allowing a rollaway bed for normal rooms to be operated then that's at the discretion of the hotel and the £10 additional charge is to cover their costs and probably breakfast for the 3rd person and is the Hilton's own charge. If you do a general search for Hilton rooms on their own website you'll see how much a non-convention room is in comparison to what is being charged.

As there's no Bitten this year I've just been talked into attending, so I'm rather hoping there will be more rooms available at the convention rate otherwise my budget is going to be hopeless. I've just gone to book them online and nothing is available below £150 a night. Although in honesty I can't remember when the tickets/hotel codes were first announced, so it could be that the rooms have disappeared.

Glad you had a lovely time at the show. I was one of the crew working organisers booth on Saturday and it was a pleasure dealing with everyone. Many excited chats and smiles :)

There was a lady dressed in a costume on Sunday that I did not know what the outfit was from. My guest and I were informed it was from the Legend of the Seeker. The outfit was absolutely stunning. We also stopped the Planet of the Apes group to admire the outfits.

From the stadium to the train station itself (and vice versa) there are the free buses laid on http://www.collectormania.com/miltonkeynes/index.php/free-buses?utm_source=Forum+Members&utm_campaign=1e285aa166-Billie_Piper5_14_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1ec82e638a-1e285aa166-49788173

Glad to hear you've sorted it, but I would have suggested it would be easier to transfer the money to your friend directly for her to withdraw and bring to the show. It is possible to pay in cash at the signing desk, or the cash desk just before it if the guest has one.

For weekend convention the main gaps in the day would be if you are not getting photoshoots. Talks tend to be on both afternoons and signing/autograph sessions are generally scheduled for the morning. Depending on the amount of attendees for autographs, you *may* get all your autos done in one morning, but this will be done in badge number order and could rollover to the second day. I tend to arrive early on a Friday and book a treatment for Friday rather than risk having time during the Saturday/Sunday.

Good to know as Peter is at the top of my list to meet at LFCC. Loved him in both Death at a Funerals. Then to see him in Game of Thrones, he's become my favourite character easily on there.

He was lovely to speak to last year but I completely lost track of time to get his auto. Glad he's back and yes it would be great to see some original Misfits guests such as his sister appear

Definitely a nice idea! Outsiders was the first Brat Pack movie I saw in the 80s and I'm glad that it's finally been released to dvd/blu ray. It seemed like it would never happen. I think I even have the book somewhere Loved that C Thomas Howell popped up in Spiderman recently too
