Yup. Its opposite the Hand & Flower pub and the Iranian resturants and immediate in front of you when you exit the station. I lived in next door West Kensington for a year and a half you see!! I;m frequently still in the area.

I'd like to see some Monty Python guests, some Only Fools guests (David Jason would be the dog's you-know-what!), Simon Pegg, Bruce Greenwood and perhaps Chris Pine (so that I can properly complete my Trek captains). Then there's Harrison Ford.....but I appreciate Indy is probably one step too far for the organisers!!!

Yeah... I think this has been mentioned/covered 100+ times already. If you read through the threads, you'll find one where Jason confirms that the guests WILL be inside next time. Dude, look at the amount of posts I have. I just came on this board within the hour to leave my thoughts. I didn't need some snot nose to come along and condescendingly tell me I should be reading all the other threads. I'm sorry if I and ruining the board for superior persons such as yourself.

Nimoy was too brief to mention really, but it was my third time meeting him and when wrapping it all together he's a pretty sound chap so I still had respect for him. Otherwise we were only there for Avery Brooks (as with him and the upcoming Scott Bakula I'll complete my Star Trek captains) and Marc McClure (as I grew up on the Reeve Superman films). Both of them were thoroughly nice guys. In fact, of all the Trek captains Brooks was by far the most pleasant and spared the time to have a proper conversation with me (about his time in the White House no less). He also dragged my rather shy (and non-Trekkie) fiance forward to involve her in the chat. Although I managed a conversation with Patrick Stewart on my third meeting with him I bungled it a bit by pretending to know more about the playwright Henrik Ibsen than I actually knew!! Mulgrew was a bit stuck up, but I got to chat to her husband who was just about to run for the governership at the time. Shatner was much like Nimoy this time around, very quick and rushed. So a big thumbs up for Avery! Marc McClure was also very nice. There was a rather strange and very quiet asian chap in front of us when we arrived, and I think McClure had gotten a bit bored of him (I mean this guy literally took 15 minutes to choose a photo) so he started talking to the misses and I pretty much straight away. I got to talk to him about filming Superman 4 in MK of all places and that I had heard the Chris Reeve didn't enjoy it - learning that through an old client of mine who was friends with Gae Exton. Very enjoyable and a nice chap. The missus and I also had a bit of a giggle about Philip Glenister. Neither of us watch Life on Mars or Ashes to Ashes so for us he's not a big deal....more so as well because he lives just around the corner from us and I walk past him on the street every week!

My only real problem with the event was that the guests were outside. I felt it was incredibly off to have both the guests and the attendees having to spend large amounts of time outside. I mean Leornard for instance is 78 years old and they had the poor guy sitting in the cold for two full days. When I saw Avery Brooks and John DeLancie that were wrapped up like artic explorers. It was absurd. The least Showmaster's could have done was organise some portable heaters for them. Worst part was that the dealers were housed away nicely in the warm...some the actors get cold outside, while the people ripping off the public with posters, t-shirts and mugs screened with pictures downloaded from the internet, got nice warm environs. Next time an indoor venue please. Perhaps they could even consider having the next event somewhere other than Milton Keynes (it is such a dull and non-descript place after all).

Leonard was personalising????????? Oh, I'm gutted. I wish they'd made that known. I already have his autograph from two previous meetings. But I had a picture of he and I together and I wanted him to sign it, but ultimately to sign it to me personally since I was in the picture with him. I feel really, really, really let down now.
