"
My only grumble about EMS is that during the David Tennant signing, my photo was passed to him before I got to him, so it was already signed when I reached him, therefore I barely got 20 seconds with him. I know he had a huge number of fans to get through and therefore conversation was limited, but I didn't even get to say 'hello', or even make eye contact lol. If the items could be passed to the guest quickly but in time with the fan, that would be much appreciated! "
Yeah that happened to us as well, the guy in front got a bunch of stuff signed, went to leave and then came back to shake hands and have a further chat, our stuff got signed during HIS chat, and then the next persons stuff was already on the way... I don't blame anyone except that guy, so come on attendees, think of your fellow attendees and dont steal our chance to have that moment you have already enjoyed.

That happened to me as well. The person kept on chatting to David while he was signing my stuff but I couldn't even get a word out... thankfully my mum managed a very brief chat to him but my only criticism is that perhaps next time in situations like this, things are passed to David once the other person has left, though I understand that might not be able to happen all the time... It was a shame that I was unable to just say something to him because of other people hanging around...
Always own that moment, as soon as the attendee in front has gone that's your moment with him don't watch what he's signing just watch his eyes and tell him what you want to say otherwise you will miss out. I talked to Mark Sheppard at lfcc was meant to be short and sweet but it ended up being a long conversion and I was aware he was signing other people's stuff but it also felt rude to leave in the middle of a discussion but I've now got happy memories of Mark forever.

Hi All
I bought a gold pass and obtained an autograph from David Tennant who I adore. I told him it was my birthday, he said "Is it? Many happy returns!" and then signed the photo saying "21 again?!" to which I replied "I wish!". Very nice but why couldn't I have said more?! I wanted to tell him how he had inspired me to study Shakespeare with the Open University but didn't say it because I didn't want to hold up the queue! I didn't say a word during the photo shoot either!
After reading about all the little conversations others had with him, both during the autograph and photo sessions, I feel like I really missed out because I didn't say more. I was waiting for David to make conversation but I realise now I should have done it! Damn! I did the same thing at the stage door in June!!
My photo is really 'straight' too, whereas a lot of people had him pose with them as if they were dancing, back to back etc, fun poses, but I just went for the standing next to him thing!
I know an awful lot of people would have killed just for that, I know I was very lucky and DT was absolutely fine, I am annoyed with myself!!
Any body out there feel the same?
I wonder if he'll ever do another con and give me another chance!! I should add I am a woman in her 40's so it's not as if I was a star-struck kid!! Arrragh!!

Maybe put the bit about how he's influenced you into a letter and get another auto?? But i've learnt from previous experience what not talking to the guests can do so i always prepare by having a conversation topic for each guest, with David I told him I saw him at much ado and would he perform at the globe which he said no cos it's nicer to act inside without having to shout or brave the elements. As for my photo it's the first time I took props and credit to David that was a funny face he pulled but I usually have back to back or hugs and am not afraid to ask (except Caitlin it's too weird having a hug from a ten year old). You always have to view these conventions as a once in a life time event. I met elsabeth sladen last year and she was sat with tom baker and I was too over awed to say anything but how pretty she was and was she having a good time, this wont ever happen again but if it did that would be a bonus.

Fish fingers and custard from Caitlin Blackwood.
-
He didn't do it in costume in the end just his regular clothes.
-
My only gripe was the lateness of McGann's photos people were getting restless with it being so.close to closing time.
-
1. Always know what the guest you.are meeting is up to. He/she could have a photo shoot or like David two!
2. Always allow to be there till the end of the day.
Go with either of these two you are on the right track, I mean if you know where he'll be you can plot your times around him knowing when he'll be at the desk and when he'll be elsewhere. If you wait till the very end you'll not go wrong.

there was a dwonline store selling it for £30
-
New wave doctor (stetson and straight jacket) bargain at £15, some serenity/firefly.postcards and a sticker.for.my phone plus 5 vintage star wars figures for a tenner and four photos.

I got to the show around midday, ticket in the 600s for Hurt and Arthur. Dame Diana was at 120ish at around 2.. I had 450ish... not hopeful.
Got one of the last Arthur autographs.. literally.. (excluding stuff for pre-orders and stuff for SM archives..
)Really nice guy, stayed on right to the end. I learned my lesson from missing out on Karen going open Q at the end.. So now have a pre-order winging its way, and a in-person signed shot.
Result..
Yes please Matt Smith.. 3 out of 4....
You must have been just after me as I joked with him how may he'd signed and how quick too.
-
It took.me.an hour to locate the big guest area!! All in all I met some.nice dealers caitlin and Arthur were wonderful but Arthur's crew.need to take a chill pill.
-
I've met him loads of times so know he's lovely but at the end of the day with no queue (i specially waited till it was open and empty first) when I asked.for a photo and the woman with him was quick to jump and say no as he was leaning towards yes, now when I went up a girl turned up at the same.time she too wanted a.photo but would't pay for an auto now thats understandable to say no like.that but.i am a paying guest and all I was faulted on was timing.

Am in London already, have just emptied forbidden planet of comics and seen mousetrap for the very first time!! Excellent show everyone should see it.
The one with nathen lane and lee evans
Haven't seen any posters advertising lee Evans as being on stage in the west end so don't know, unless its change cast recently he wasn't in it.
-
Limit of 5 per person if there's a virtual queue, otherwise no limit.
i remember waiting in line for Brad Dourif at LFCC a couple of years ago, the person in front of me was getting 14 signatures, from Brad
Could be the 10th planet guy doing the pre-orders, if ticketed.

You know with all these complaints about what john is wearing, maybe he should do it in the buff that way he has nothing you can complain about.

If he's not busy try his table.

Auction at the hub, we didn't see before hand what was being auctioned. At lfcc there was a food area, I did say this might be down stairs as top gear had somewhere to eat upstairs as well. As for interviews I would presume that agent/management must be asked too otherwise they could say no at the con to it.
Oh and I thought you could queue with mates till there number was called or they got into the zigzag bit did that a few times.
As for DT i would have thought like Karen he could be done by the end of the day and open queue, it really is a case of get there very early.
Yeah I was typing at the same time cos when I looked only the post about whether £50 was enough was the last post.

Hi
Can i ask something too as i havnt been to one of these events before.
1) Where do we head to once we get off the train at Earls Court?
2) How will we know which queue is the pre-paid early bird queue? We can't get there until 9.00am at the earliest & i'm thinkin theres gonna be 1000+ people in front of us!
3) Will we get a David Tennant Autograph if enter the venue before 10.00am?
4)Will it be clear where the Guest areas are so that we can head straight 2 DT area for a VT?
5) When/where can we get something for the guests 2 autograph?
6) Im worried about missing a photo shoot due 2 having a few photo's booked & clashes with queuing for autographs etc, are Autographs pretty much going on all day so we just make sure we get the photo's then move on 2 Autographs? Thanks
Both queues are clearly labelled but do ask other people there. As for dt, you will get an auto but it does mean waiting all day. You can bring anything you own to be signed or there's the dealers for items and a table where you pay that has a few photos you can pick from.
Get vt's cos once your number is called you can go at any time and just concentrate on getting photos, I'd say tell crew you have a clash and they'll get you through as quickly as possible but go to the less popular one first.
-
1. Yes, but only to a certain point and make sure crew know you have no ticket.
2. Think there's something like 100.
3. Probably not, this isn't like Christies.
4. Yup, there is a bar/cafe area but it's always full so find a quiet corner and sit on the floor instead.
5. Yup, but think it's on the ground floor.
6. As it's a auction prices will vary wildly from con to con.
7. Someone takes your bag and coat as you queue to get into a shoot they will be the second to last people you see before the guest.
8. That's something you need to deal with with the actors agent like all interviewers.
9. Yes, they will need to walk around to get from green room to signing area, signing area to photoshoot and back (or to talk).
10. No.
11. Stuart.
12. Sit where your told unless it's a free for all I.e. Free talks have no seating arrangement.
-
It might just be me, but there doesnt seem to be anywhere to fit in a cloakroom?
There will be one right? Otherwise theres going to be bags all over the place, people getting sweaty from carrying everything etc...
That could be floor below because in know there's a space set aside for bags and how much it is.

What Entrance is It ? The One Facing Earls Court Tube Station or West Brompton ?
Previous announcement said west brom gates.
-
At the end of Alex's MK signing, her debut on the circuit. Ity had, and the entrance to her 'cave', a big 'NO PHOTOS OR VIDEO' sign. Some Illiterate cretin was standing underneath with a compact camera.. taking a photo..
As folks say, big guests.. I very much doubt they'll be doing photos. DEFINITELY no posed pics. Maybe allow shots in the queue, but no 'Me with XXXXX' shots..
Said cretin could have been photographing Peter davidson who was allowing posed photos. P.s Alex was allowing photos at the table (not posed ones) in the very first session of the day.
weekend or day guest
