I won't have any internet access when I register, so I can't post, but I'm in the Platinum A group. Anybody know how many of us in total?

Latest Guest Announcement - BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
maggiem replied to DavidB's topic in Sherlocked UK 2016
I hesitate to say it but I'm a bit glad that this rules out some of the people who are only interested in swooning over Benedict. I want the event to be full of people who are there because they love the show, and will fully partake in all of it. It was a bit full of fan girls last time and slightly scary. I know this makes me sound middle aged and curmudgeonly. But I am. Not at all, I know exactly what you mean. I'm an unashamed fan of BC but I love the show for itself and everything about it not just because he's in it. I was very happy with the show before his announcement but am obviously over the moon now. Couldn't agree more! I'm so glad I committed to the Platinum ticket now -
Quick query, and apologies if I'm being a bit dim here.... In the photo shoot schedule, does A and B refer to different photo shoot areas, or the Platinum groups?
-
As a Platinum, I'm aiming to get into her autograph queue as quickly as possible, because I haven't been able to get it at 2 previous cons! You're right about the quiet times in the queues, though. That's how I got most of my autos last time. This year, I can leave some guests out as I already have autos/photos with them and concentrate on the ones I don't have. When I see the photo shoot schedule on Monday, I can really start planning my days.

Then I'm group A as well .

I'll make sure to print an extra one just in case anyone needs it. I am not known as the Office Mummy for nothing! I'll also have tissues, sticking plaster, headache tablets, hand sanitiser and anything else we might need in my capacious, Mary-Poppins-esque massive bag. I'm on Facebook, in the Sherlocked: Introductions group; you'll spot me as my avatar here is the same as my current profile picture. I'm not on Facebook, but I'd like a meet up before we go in. When everyone says "Platinum A", do you mean the photo shoot group you chose when you booked your ticket? I don't think we've been assigned a group based on ticket number yet? That sounds sensible. Last time there was quite a queue for registration so perhaps we should aim more for the nearest area of seating to avoid getting mixed up in it. How about 5:45? I'm getting there earlier in the day so will probably register in the afternoon, then pop off for a bit to do something else, and come back to ExCel for the evening opening; but I suspect others will only arrive after work. I will be getting to my hotel at about 5 pm, so I can meet you outside the hall.

I seem to remember we tried to sort out a meet by the John Watson exhibit, but it didn't really happen.

Not to mention the full weekend schedule!

Hi Maggie, I'll just point out to save you from any possible disappointment that we don't know if Arwel will be there. I'm presuming he won't be though, he hasn't been announced and from the production side this year, apart from Stephen and Sue we do have Michael Price and David Arnold. I would assume on that basis that Arwel won't be there this year. Not to worry! there are lots of other guests I haven't met before, and plenty of space in the book.
-
Hi! I'm just bringing my "Sherlock Chronicles" book. Inside the front cover is full, so this year's autos will go in the back. I'm hoping to get Arwel to sign it, as I never asked last year.

Hello As it says in the title, where are you staying for the con weekend? I'm in the Ibis Styles, opposite Custom House station.

I remember another con, when I asked him about a fight sequence he did for "Martial Law", an he told us it took one whole day to choreograph, rehearse and shoot it. And here's another memory, from the Babylon 5 Season1 blooper reel... Peter Jurasik (Londo); CentARI Jerry Doyle (Garibaldi): CentAURI Peter Jurasik (Londo); CentARI! Jerry Doyle (Garibaldi): CentAURI! Both: "Let's Call the whole thing off!"

It's okay! I knew from the "whistle" emoticon that you didn't mean it. I thought the reference to Quantum Leap would be enough to make it clear, but..... oh, well!

This is being shown at 9 pm on July 5th. on film 4

Burn the witch! Matches and petrol at the ready Oh, boy......

Burn the witch! you can't stack books if your prejudiced?! I think you can I don't stack books. I work on a front line enquiry desk, so I'm dealing with students/ staff/ visitors all the time.

Okay, I'm 52 and voted "Leave". I was only 11 at the time of the last referendum and have lived through the growing discontent with the ever increasing size and bureaucracy of the EU. It has felt like a powder keg was being created by years of frustration and the current migrant crisis finally provided the spark to blow it up. Don't get me wrong! I work in a university library and deal with people from all over the world. I couldn't do my job if I was prejudiced against people from other countries. This may be the wake up call that was needed in the EU. And as for the exit being final.... well, it took 42 years for us to get so fed up that we voted out. If it took a number (?) of years for the EU to properly reform, who's to say that we couldn't re-join a better institution? The youth of today who would have stayed may get their chance to vote us back in, and the EU politicians who are saying "final" now won't be running it forever!

Well done! It's lovely to see a guest list that is different from last year's (Alistair's cancellation not withstanding). I'm looking forward to meeting him. -

I love all of the new guest announcements! Really looking forward to this con! -
Agreed!

Thanks very much everybody :)

Hi One thing I've noticed going back through this thread. Nobody said anything about validating the tickets when they booked them online. Wasn't there something you had to click on the Eventbrite site during the purchase, or have they stopped this now? I didn't click on anything extra when I bought the ticket, and I just need to know if the ticket is okay "as is". Hope this makes sense!

Hello! Horse trading successfully accomplished! I have been allowed by my line manager to book time-off-in-lieu of a weekend duty that I will have done in July, before the con. The catch is, I'll have to work on Friday morning before I get the train to London and on Monday afternoon after I get back. Still, all good things to (s)he who waits. I celebrated by booking a Platinum ticket! (Seeing that I'd already hedged my bets by reserving a room at the IBIS Styles near Excel... hee, hee!)
