Thanks Sebster, appreciate it. I will be coming up to see Mr. Ironside, so unless some more guests get announced I will just rock up. Will be quite a bit of nostalgia.

So I see it's back at the MK center, which will be quite a blast from the past. Just to confirm, does this mean that we don't need to buy 'entry tickets', but instead just 'show up'? Looking forward it, will be coming up to meet Mr. Ironside again.

Nicky! A long time indeed! You are part of the old guard my friend - you've been here even longer than I have. Good to see a familiar face!

12 years ago, this was my best experience at a Showmasters event. My daughter - five at the time - came along, and met many of the characters that had defined her life up to that point. One of her most important touchstones was "Batman: The Animated Series", and just before this event, she had received a DVD of the Animated Series - from me - with a gifttag saying "From Batman: Thank you for watching my show." She walked up to this fellow and said "thank you for the DVDs". He didn't miss a single beat, absolutely bossed it, and replied instantly, bowing, in a deep voice, "you are welcome." It's a moment that she still talks about, at 17. Whoever you are, THANK YOU. You were, and still remain, her Batman. Thanks bud.

SM - here are a list of REALISTIC guests that would cause me to drop a LOT of money at the event (and for whom I would buy a diamond pass): Sandahl Bergman Gerry Lopez Alison Doody Robert Englund (yes, I know, I missed him last time for reasons outside of my control) Heather Lagenkamp Cindy Morgan Keith David Meg Foster Adrienne Barbeau Dennis Dun James Hong Chris Hebert (from The Last Starfighter) And here are some holy grails, for whom I would pay a LOT of money: Kurt Russell Matthew Broderick Drew Struzan Ally Sheedy Arnold Schwarzenegger John Milius Ralph Macchio William Zabka Elizabeth Shue Phoebe Cates Joe Dante

Good one - will definitely meet Tom. Thank you!

Very good indeed. Had a great chat, he seemed very pleased to be there. He was also doing surprisingly good business! All round a great Indy guest, well done, was lovely to talk to him. Now PLEASE - reach out again to Alison Doody?

Cynthia is a goddess, and incredibly underrated. She's easily as important as JCVD, the difference being she didn't get a shot as a leading lady in a major large budget movie. She's very similar to Steve James in that regard - had as much charisma and ability as anyone working at that time, but never got a real shot at the big time. Very excited to meet her - the first time I saw one of her movies I was 11 years old. She's both beautiful and badass. Well done, Showmasters, you've done a great thing here, I'll be asking her to sign multiple items for sure. I even have a factory sealed copy of China O'Brien on VHS, which I will bring along.

Woah. I am REALLY interested. But £295? That's a lot. Will have to think on this.

This is great news. I am now 100% coming. I met Marc like nearly 20 years ago at one of the Milton Keynes events, he was fantastic.

So, having bought a diamond pass for my daughter, for Matt Smith, I wanted to drop a few bits of feedback. First, extremely helpful people. Everyone went the extra mile. Thank you to all of the staff. Couldn't fault anyone. She pointed this out as her biggest plus of the day (besides meeting Matt) - quote "the people are all so friendly." So, great job everyone. I'd also say that the organization of the event was a *notable* step up. The summer event was carnage - this was much better. Lastly, Matt Smith himself was great - very kind, took a moment with everyone, and he remembered my daughter for the photoshoot - must be a very difficult and busy day, and he nailed it. She was absolutely over the moon to meet 'her Doctor'. So top marks all. Obviously this is no longer a cheap hobby, but overall it was a great experience, so well done. Look forward to next year, and happy to reach deep for the right guests next time.

Got it - thank you!

Morning all. Question on the diamond pass - is there an option to add the extra £10, to upgrade the diamond pass standard photo shoot to a green screen photo shoot?Thank you!

Hi all - at the summer film and comic con, there was a very impressive stall, dealing in swords - including the Atlantean, Aragorn's sword, etc. Does anyone know how to contact them? I had several hundred pounds burning a hole in my pocket, and for whatever reason didn't get back to them, which I now regret!

£235... Oooof. Just so I'm clear - can I add a further £10 to that, to make it 1 x auto, and 1 x green screen Doctor Who photoshoot?
