giuseppe1969

Although he has attended many conventions I have never met him. I need his signature on my original script of the Space:1999's Alpha Child episode.

This is Showmasters we are talking about. Everything is possible!

This looks very serious to me. Showmasters should identify the people involved and ask for an explanation.

Sorry to hear about your experience but as you said there was a possibility to get it right at the time you got your photos. This was not possible up to last year, when pictures where handed out several hours after the photoshoot (or even days, if you had them sent to you). Something similar happened to my wife at Autographica (where the atmosphere is somewhat more relaxed and less rushed) with Buzz Aldrin; as she collected her picture she noticed she and Buzz weren't in pose but they were slightly looking at each other and talking. My wife was disappointed at first and was offered a re-shoot but on a second thought she liked the picture as it looked more natural and decided to keep it. I understand in your case the matter is different but I invite you not to throw the pictures away; they are still a memento (however bad) of your meeting with the actors. I really want to point out what you said: don't be shy or embarrassed, there is no reason to be, especially with the Showmasters crew who are always helpful.

This is the second time in a row after the Autographica event; third time lucky, at the next Autographica, perhaps?

Yes, Please. I already met many of them but it would be great to have them back.

Hi Dave. Great space guest again, you guys consistently deliver on this and Buzz has been a great guest, but Buzz , the first man on the moon ! I thought it was pretty much universally accepted that Neil is classed on his own as the first man on the moon. If you go by Buzz's own account on the recent Neil Armstrong documentary, he also claimed that their success in landing was down to Neil as his flying ability and nerves of steel were essential in bringing the landing lunar landing module down succesfully. I agree that the role Buzz played isn't always recognised as highly as Neil but that all important first step on the moon was all Neil. Still, guess it's all semantics really as they could both claim they were both in the first spacecraft that landed on the moon. Either way, we are all lucky to get to meet such great guests. Having studied a lot about the Apollo missions and also the Russian ones, I regard all astronauts and cosmonauts as special people as the tasks were so difficult to accomplish and incredibly dangerous (so many have died on both sides). Being FIRST on the moon is certainly a merit and not just a statistical consideration but in my view any person who went to the moon, including the astronauts who didn't actually land, are in the same league. Said that, let's hope all of them don't start charging as Buzz does.

Schweickart and Cunningham's autos £35? That is very good!

...and now we only need Barbara Bain!

Wow! Thank you, great announcement. Time to book tickets and hotel, I am afraid. :geek:

That would be great! True legends.

Met once. She is really lovely, made my son very happy. More SJA guests welcome.

No way! That is excellent news!...for my bank manager

This is totally awesome! It would be absolutely cool to get geologist Schmitt, the other Apollo17 astronaut as well. Being a geologist myself...

Barbara Bain would be totally awesome! Valentina Tereshkova too wouldn't be bad at all.

Outstanding news! Thanks SM. Start robbing collecting money now...

Yes, please! I mean the actors... not the wrestler

Agree! Looking forward to meet more astronauts and Hollywood legends. May the announcements commence soon.

We fans can only say "bring them all in and then I will decide"! Although some of us moan about "too many guests, I am going to sell my kidney etc.", we always like to have a wider choice. Showmasters are the only people who own statistics from previous events and know what is the best of both worlds. I want as many big names as possible but I understand that having too many big guests include the risk of a financial loss. The only thing I ask, in case of super events with super names, is a better management of queues because in recent times there were a few problems.

A big piece of TV history has gone! So glad I met him once, a very kind gentleman. Thank you for all those fantastic shows.

I would also add Sally Ride. In sci-fi terms, I agree with the above and add Space1999's Dr Russell and Maya plus Babylon 5's Ivanova and Delenn.

I am so sorry to hear this. I enjoyed a lot Michael's character and the storyline he was into B5. I liked his deep and firm voice and I have always wanted to meet him at a convention but it didn't happen. It looks like there is a Babylon 5 curse: so many good actors have left us so soon and so young. It was their moment, perhaps, but I can't help to think that it is not fair.

I think my son would drain my bank account...

Thank you, Sabreyeager. See you around at the next event.

Buzz Aldrin, Martin Landau, so many Space1999 guests, so many astronauts. So many dreams came true.
