Brian Blessed (if I attend on the Saturday and I haven’t met him elsewhere a month earlier), Pom Klementieff (diamond pass?), Brendan Wayne, Ming Qiu, Ravi Cabot-Conyers and the TNG duo photoshoot.
-
One for my list.
-
Now announce the other three: if Orlando can do it, so can London.
-
Ravi Cabot-Conyers was likewise announced on Facebook but doesn’t have his own thread on the forum.

What a group photoshoot it would be if they were announced alongside Ravi.

Was any of the queues photoshoot b by any chance?
Not at that early stage. The autograph queues for the four main guests were too big for the relatively small area that they were squeezed into, with Ncuti’s queue blocking access to some of the dealers area stalls. The photoshoot chaos started just before 12 with Ncuti’s and Michael’s queues merging and blocking access to one of the food sellers.

I only picked up 3 autographs (May Calamawy, Dean-Charles Chapman & Sam Hazeldine) and one photo (Michael Sheen) but I don’t think I’ve seen worse queue management since Stan Lee. Autograph queues should have been capped at sensible lengths; at one point Ncuti Gatwa’s queue was coiling around part of the dealers area. Other smaller guests should have had VQ tickets; their queues were allowed to stretch across to the opposite tables, blocking the aisles. The photo sessions were the worst. Gatwa’s and Sheen’s queues appeared to have merged at one point and after diamond batch 6 was eventually called (too many diamond passes sold!) the queue disintegrated into a mob. I was lucky to get squeezed into the first session (only six people after me) and I’m aware that some people queuing longer than me probably didn’t. The guy in the hat who was supposed to be managing the queue had disappeared by this point, or perhaps had been trampled underfoot.
The positives: all of the guests that I met were lovely and I’m happy with how the photo turned out.-

Not surprising since I think he was origionally Saturday only. Yes, I was lucky, but then again it was alot smaller queue. I think I may stick to Sunday's in future. I've gotten to that age where I'm kind of chilling out a little so Sunday works for me.
I usually try to stick to Sundays for that very reason, but Michael Sheen and May Calamawy were irresistible.

Honestly the events aren’t what they’re used to be
I agree. Other than the big four, I didn’t notice anyone else required VQ tickets and I think that speaks volumes.

It’s chaotic around the four main guests. A few poorly managed queues elsewhere, but it’s otherwise pretty quiet.

Adding May Calamawy to my list, if I end up going on the Saturday.
May Calamawy & Dean-Charles Chapman autographs, Michael Sheen photoshoot. A couple of maybes. Have to be away by 1pm.

Piccadilly line from Earls Court.
-
I saw Lisa’s episode of TNG recently. An appealing guest announcement.
-
Likely both. A guest of this calibre usually has two photo sessions.
-
-
Not one for me, but I know that I lot of people have been asking for her for a long time.
-
One for my list if I decide to go on the Saturday.

Ming Qiu is the only definite on my list at the moment. Bonnie Langford and David Bradley are maybes if I attend on the Saturday.
Have added Richard Dreyfuss to my list but it will depend on getting there early enough for a low VQ ticket. Still haven’t committed to a day.

I’m going to again ask for Sophie Thatcher. She’s amazing in Companion.
