Would love Hayden back but only as long as measures are put in place to ensure that she isn't overworked (Split the photo shoot/reduce the number of photo shoots sold etc). Would also be cool to have Ben & Chris back but have them both in a duo talk as they have great chemistry together.

I don't believe the talk was filmed and Showmasters have strict rules about anyone else filming during one.

Fellow Scot here. From East Kilbride and tend to go to LFCC every year (In Londom atm) and occastionally go to CM Glasgow. Actually going to try to join the crew for it this year. https://www.facebook.com/Scotty0709 (Slight warning: I tend to get quite political at times lol).

It's a toss up between Chris Judge and Rose Leslie. Chris always had a grin on his face and was always willing to pose for a photo. Was even funny during the photo shoot (on Saturday). The women who was collecting the tickets and was trying to keep the queue close together going "Against the wall squish together" Chris started taking the mick out of her and repeated what she said in a high pitched voice lol Rose was just lovely, she even remembered my dad from the photo shoot when we went to get her auto. Was also perfectly willing to have a quick chat and pose for a photo as well.

Did anyone else notice that some of the talks had a delayed start (Around 5-10 minutes) but they still ended at the scheduled time. The Saturday Games of Thrones talk ended up lasting 20 minutes (Which to me isn't worth £15) and the Hayden talk was only around 20 or so minutes as well.

Hayden has been the number one guest I have wanted to meet for quite some time. Even though I didn't get to speak to her while getting an auto and it wasn't personalised I simply can't fault her, can fully understand the sheer number of people she had to get through. Surprised her photo shoot wasn't split into 2 times either (come on like 600 people in one go!l). Even her talk was badly organised and she had to organise how people asked questions herself (She was brilliant during the talk though). Considering overall she pretty much had a bad day she was a lot more polite and friendly than I would have been in her position. I just hope that she hasn't been put off from coming back to a Showmasters event in the future.

Have to agree with what others have said: The queues outside were a shambles. Firstly started off being 1 long queue for pay on the day but it was split into 2 queues, and for some strange reason those that were behind me were guided to go in front of me? All hell then bloke loose and it was a mad dash to the entrance, all form of queuing ended and it became a free for all to get in (including those who just turned up getting in before those who gave queued!). In fact here is a picture from that point;

Will maps handed out reflect this change?

Any news on the "TBC" talk & photoshoot? or is that time just going to be used for a break?

Is there a rough idea on when a decision will be made on whether or not something fills the talk and photoshoot gaps left by Norman Reedus cancellation?

Is there a rough idea on which guests will be on VT from the get-go on Saturday?

Glasgow-London Virgin train for me tomorow. Nice 4-5 hours to kill on route.

Think the 1st post needs to be edited, it still lists the Norman Reedus talks and Photoshoots.

Any news? Trying to figure out what I have time to squeeze in Ditto.

For the moment you can refer to this thread to see what talks are free and what ones are paid for. http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=76464 But yeah agree that it would be easier to combine the schedule and the prices into a single topic.

Dam. Hope that you manage to get refunds out before the event itself.

*Prays for a Ben & Chris Stargate talk*

Just curious: Are there any talks being organised to take place on the Friday?

In Ben Browder's guest announcement it was said that he will be doing talks on all 3 days of the show but according to this schedule he isn't doing any. Has he stated that he didn't wish to do a talk?

Don't see those talks on the schedule.

Wasn't Ben Browder not meant to be involved in a talk?

Big Yes!

Good guest though I do hope that another 1 or 2 Games of Thrones guests will attend on the Saturday as well.

Every time I see this thread with new posts I get worried lol When a topic disappears off the 1st page and then comes back I'm always worried that it's because somehow has found out the guest can't come.

How much is your autograph?
